"What a bunch of sick monkeys that would want to "date" someone that young. Don't they know that 15 will get you 20?"

I always heard "10 minutes with a 15 year old will get you 20 to life".

"The eighteen year old may be considered an adult by law, but I think the thirty seven year old is a pedophile."

Good lord, a pedophile? His girlfriend is of legal age. By definition, he is not a pedophile. A little warped maybe, but an 18 year is in no way, shape, fashion or form, a CHILD.
