    I'm responding to those who called me creepy, said she couldn't possible love it, said that what we had was wrong, that she was immature, etc. I can't let such ignorance stand, I'm sorry. I didn't start it after all. After a dozen such comments, I had enough. ---------- Post added at 08:45 PM...

    Dear God, so much stupidity I don't know where to start a) you're ignorant if you think it's impossible for someone to be more mature than others their own age. Considering 16 is perfectly legal, and she was a mere month away from becoming 15, do you seriously think that a year will suddenly...

    You admit that not everyone at a certain age is the same - this was not a legal dispute (heck, that was why I gave that example - not everyone is the same) but to show that the law generalises and because of that, there's cases where it protects people who don't need protecting. If you both know...

    Jesus Christ you are a close minded lot. No seriously, if you think that's messed up, you really need to get some perspective in life. If you think all 14 year old girls are still children, you need to get out more.

    I'm talking about in terms of media attention - it's often via the media that such cases come to light in the first place. ---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ---------- If anything this shows the law is hopelessly out of date and needs a great deal...

    Hence my Better read a post first before replying. And Espy: when you consider this case is 30+ years old and they all act as if he's the biggest villain, I think it's fair to consider the fact that there's far worse people out there who get away with far worse things and that instead of...

    Having had a 14 year old gf when I was 22, I personally don't put much weight in "statutory rape" when both people are reasonably young. Much older than that, and the divide between the two generations becomes too big to comfortably cross and it becomes a matter of pure lust and on that basis...

    So Much for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

    Any mod you install you should play from the start. I'm sorry but they're right - you probably messed up your savegame. Clear Sky lets you repair gear by the way and the mod Oblivion Lost lets you do it for the vanilla STALKER too. You HAVE to play the game from the start though because it...

    I fear Oprah.

    I have a brother with anger management issues but I know him well enough to know what sets him off and what cools him down. His ex didn't. What to her were random bouts of anger, were, to me, pretty predictable and often, she was the one to trigger them (or make them far worse). When she used to...

    Want a laugh? I'm an idiot

    Erm am I missing something? Because for me, WoW is probably as social as you can get with a game. I play with a girl who I've known for 7 years and while we play, we're constantly talking and the way you often need to wait, it's quite easy to do.

    Want a laugh? I'm an idiot

    Wow sorry to hear that. I've been through a slightly similar phase without wasting that much money but here's what I learned: - women who have abusive husbands don't necessarily want a new partner: they want respect and attention, which their husbands aren't giving them. Just like teenage...

    Keep fucking that chicken

    I think he was trying to say "Keep Plucking that chicken" - I can vaguely hear an attempt at an L in "fuckin".

    Who wants to have a house party? (Worst ad ever)

    Yeah that's what I partly thought at first but would they really do this when most people are too stupid to "get" such comedy? I loved the Roast of Norm MacDonald yet the audience were too ignorant to get it. Heck, it got cut because they knew the viewers wouldn't get it either.

    Who wants to have a house party? (Worst ad ever)

    Heh, they need to keep a better eye on what their "lower echelons" do then. Well at least it's not a real ad.

    The Author Of This Study Must Have Been Spanked Constantly

    Many of these studies make the same mistake: they confuse cause and result. Kids with ADHD may get spanked more. Their IQ is lower compared to other kids, in general. Just one example, but basically: I'd say it's generally accepted that kids with a lower IQ are more prone to pulling bad...
