well we won't even entertain the medical explanation, because its a bunch of bullcrap, and even the people who spew it know that it has no real basis in anything resembling a fact. On to the 'emotionally under-developed' excuse - aka never growing up...


Growing up, for the most part, is almost as devoid of any real worth as being cool.

Now sure, there are parts of growing up that you just have to put up with, like becoming financially independant (and all the barrels of fun required to pull that off), emotionally independant, as well as a process of learning about yourself, that are worthwhile. But I'm not talking about that.

I'm talking about the socialization that occurs during the process of growing up. This is the part that I don't want anything to do with. It's all a matter of beating on a square peg until it fits in a round hole. By the time they are done with you, you end up like the adults Turtle describes. But it's all a bunch of crap because the process of socialization is adapting you so that you fit into society. In this way, society maintains the status quo. Within that system, the individual means nothing. They drum at you until you turn into one of them, and then give you rights. This is what it is to grow up. To me this system seems ass-backwards, so I say screw them. play in their sandbox, but play by your own rules. (I'm not advocating any law-breaking here.)

Be an adult, in the sense that you can function within society as an individual, (emotionally, financially independant, and self-aware) but refuse to be moulded into just another cog in the wheel. To do this, you really have to know yourself in great detail, because you need the strength of your convictions. But the bottom line is be who you know yourself to be, not simply who they want you to be.

So back to the topic at hand. Why fall in love with little girls? because you yourself can't NOT fall in love with little girls. It's as important an aspect of who you are as your hair color, or that weird mole on the back of your neck. But to really know that, you have to do a lot of self-discovery, so that you know yourself really well, and know in an adult way (not speaking from some emotional need, otherwise they can use the 'didn't grow up' excuse on you) that you're right.

For me, this is how it is. I can't NOT fall in love with little girls. There is no way around it. It would be GREAT if I could find some nice 25 year old and live happily ever after, but that isn't me. Instead, I have no other choice but to fall for people who I can't legally pursue a sexual relationship with. Yay for me!

Well, that was longer than expected!
