Quotes

"We had a town child molester, his name was Jean Baptiste... He liked teenage boys... I was a teenage boy--he didn't like me, I felt a little bad."

"Child molesters are very tenacious people. They love molesting childs, it's crazy! It's like their favorite thing! When you consider the risk of being a child molester... there is no worse life available to a human than being a caught child molester. And yet they still do it! You can only really surmise that it must be really good. I mean, form their point of view! It must be amazing for them to risk so much!"

"We're so scared of pedophilia because it's here and it's not going anywhere, that's a fact. It's not like there's a finite amount of pedophiles and "we got the last one!" No, it keeps happening. Every generation there's more. Some of you have kids and some of them are going to grow up and fuck kids. They might, you know? Okay, of course, not yours, for some reason. But they're coming from some place. Any real solution has to start with the basic reality that there will always be pedophiles."

"Our solutions that we have so far don't really work... There's no measures for preventing it, none. We have no policy to prevent pedophilia, not even just a street sign. There's a street sign for everything, no hunting, no spitting, no skateboarding--I've never seen a "don't fuck a child" sign, I've been all over the world. Not even just a picture of a guy fucking a kid with a line through it so that it transcends language barriers. I mean, try it!"

"There's things that might work and we don't even try them. Like is anybody working on very realistic child sex dolls? [audience boos] Okay, then let them fuck your kids forever if that's better! I'm so sorry for suggesting something that might actually work!"

"Boy Scouts--wonderful thing--being sued out of existence because of all the kid fuckery that goes on. And I know it's upsetting, because the Boy Scouts is a wonderful thing for kids, they go to the woods, they work together, they learn skills, they get in touch with nature. What could be better for a boy than that. But some of those guys want to fuck the kids... I think it's mostly that they find out that the guy wants to. I don't actually know though. Do you know why I don't know? 'Cause I'm afraid to look it up! I'll go to prison for typing it into Google! How do you solve a problem if you're afraid to fucking look it up?"
