Re: John Grisham...woah
My initial thought was "Shut up, Grisham. Just stop talking."

- Gayle Forman
"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

Married Bio
"His drinking was out of control, and he went to a website. It was labelled 'sixteen year old wannabee hookers or something like that'. And it said '16-year-old girls'. So he went there. Downloaded some stuff - it was 16 year old girls who looked 30.
"He shouldn't ’a done it. It was stupid, but it wasn't 10-year-old boys. He didn't touch anything. And God, a week later there was a knock on the door: ‘FBI!’ and it was sting set up by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to catch people - sex offenders - and he went to prison for three years." <-- so what you're saying is that if it was BOYS it would be a problem? But since it's GIRLS who the f- cares?! Boys matter more than girls do? And because they LOOK 30, then it's not that bad, even if they are minors? Because they LOOK older than they are, that makes it less of a crime?!

RIGHT??? I mean, I read this and I could not believe he could be SO dumb!
I just kept thinking...so it's okay for John's friend (white, which is a whole other ridiculous statement) to stare at photos of Sammie when she's 16 but not Emmett when he's 10. WTAF? THEY ARE EFFING KIDS, YOU CREEP.
And the "alcohol" line just pissed me off so much. Abusing alcohol isn't an excuse!!!

My sweet babies:
Either way, this is one of the more ignorant things I've ever heard in my life. I keep going back and reading it and getting madder and madder. I need to step away.
WHO ON EARTH DEFENDS CHILD PORNOGRAPHY!!??
This story is making me so angry.

2014 Reading Goal: 85
Anyone who harms a child for profit or pleasure, or who in any way participates in child pornography—online or otherwise—should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
My comments made two days ago during an interview with the British newspaper "The Telegraph" were in no way intended to show sympathy for those convicted of sex crimes, especially the sexual molestation of children. I can think of nothing more despicable.
I regret having made these comments, and apologize to all."
