So today a huge debate sprayed out over freedom of speech all over Amazon’s face. I know what freedom of speech is. In my opinion, (FREEDOM OF SPEECH I GET MY OPINION!!) freedom of speech is more times than not some loud idiot who thinks they know everything yelling about a bunch of crap that doesn’t make any sense and then when people are like, “Dude don’t yell that crap, it’s completely uncalled for,” they yell back in what I picture a Larry The Cable Guy voice, “FREEDOM OF SPEECH!” while standing behind and American flag and waving a gun in each hand with two angry pitbulls barking by their side.

Okay so I exaggerate. Freedom of speech is great in many ways. I don’t think we should be limited to what we want to see or say to an extent, but I don’t think it is something that should be taken advantage of either, and then backing yourself up by yelling the phrase the second someone says back off. I am also aware of things called courtesy, respect, ethics, blah blah blah. Of course we can’t walk around whispering, afraid that we are going to offend someone at any given moment, but we do have the ability not to act like loons too.

What I’m referring to here was the book "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover's Code of Conduct,” being placed on Amazon.com today. Now of course everyone got really riled up, a Facebook page was created, 10,000 people joined in hours, I didn’t because I hate getting unnecessary updates on things, especially months after the fact. Amazon really didn’t have a whole lot to say about it initially. I think their PR rep may or may not have been hungover, but it was along the lines of, “We aren’t pulling this e-book , freedom of speech, words words words.”

And then it hit the news. The author, Phillip R. Greaves II, happily took on interviews of course. The scary thing is, because of all the media coverage, all the pedos out there are probably clamoring to buy this book now. He claims to be a non-practicing pedo. My ass. If you are writing a guide on how to violate children, you can’t tell me you haven’t tried something before or studied it. The book talks about how fondling and kissing children is okay, but penetration is not. The description of the book reads, “"my attempt to make pedophile situations safer for those juveniles that find themselves involved in them, by establishing certian [sic] rules for these adults to follow.”

Okay, well first of all, this guy is stoked because his book is getting exposure. Second of all, he put his stupid face out there continuing to defend and promote this. I can tell you one thing, dude is probably going to end up murdered.

Sooo, I guess since it was totally cool and nice of him to make this book, when we have kids, instead of giving them copies of “Everybody Poops,” let’s give them this “How to Get Violated by an Adult and Like It” book instead. Now listen Johnny, at some point in your life, a creepy man may offer you candy to get in his van. You should probably take that candy and let him do certain things to you, but this book outlines what he can’t do to you. Have a nice not messed up life!

But then again, I’m a person who thinks that nobody should even be allowed to exclusively date until they are 25 because even then we are still bumbling around with our still forming brains sloshing around in our too big heads trying to figure everything out. So call me weird if I think it's pretty atrocious that this dude wants to let the world know that dating children is perfectly acceptable. There is no such thing as a willing child when it comes to pedophilia.

Again, freedom of speech. I know. We can argue that until we are both blue in the face and fall over and wake up from our lack of oxygen nap and keep arguing it again. And then people start saying, “If you pull that then are you going to pull (insert hypothetical scenario here) too? I don’t want to get into hypotheticals today because the bottom line is:

NOBODY LIKES PEDOPHILES. Nobody! I bet not even pedophiles like pedophiles! I have never once heard a person say, “Well you know pedophilia, yeah, it’s wrong, but I can see where he’s coming from.” People that savagely murder people, people that beat women to pulps, people that rob banks, all of them serving time in prison feeling no remorse whatsoever for what they did, don’t like pedophiles.

So Amazon pulled the book finally. And then put it back on. And then pulled it again. Like I said, the PR person was hung over. I think, no matter what, that this is one of those instances where there is an exception to the rule, and this is where freedom of speech should not be taken into consideration. As a matter of fact can we make a “Pedophile Clause” where it doesn’t count when it comes to freedom of speech?
