as for if it had been a 14 yo boy and a 18 yo girl? they should be treated the same as well - should doesn't mean will be , but they should. period.

I agree. People tend to think differently if it's a boy, as we've seen when the subject of teacher/student sex has come up. A lot of people think that the female teachers should get a free ride because boys, I guess?

it's a sad case, and my heart goes out to her, but it's no different than if it had been an 18 yo guy having sex with a 14 yo girl

I agree that it shouldn't be different. What if it had been a fourteen year old boy and an eighteen year old girl? Do you think that the parents would have prosecuted? A lot of parents would just have let that pass. I think that there is a double standard. We've gone over this debate over the double standard elsewhere though.

Did this relationship go on before the older girl was eighteen? It wouldn't have been a violation of that particular law if the older girl had been seventeen. Was it legal one day, and a crime the next? From what I understand, the state's attorney offered two years house arrest, and probation, with the crime staying on record. Any decision to wipe the record clean would be left up to a judge, and wouldn't be part of the plea bargain. Maybe she's holding out for a guarantee of a clean slate. Surely she's got a lawyer. Surely she'll listen to her lawyer.

I think that there is probably more here than we're hearing. For one thing, both the accused and the state seem awfully interested in talking to the press. It seems to me that the parents of the accused would have had more inclination to stay quiet about it. Maybe the father reacted in a moment of anger because the courts had ruled his daughter could stay in school, as long as she stayed away from the other girl, and the other girl's parents had her kicked out anyway.

Whatever, this is going to change both girls lives. Taking it public didn't help either one of them.

. So enjoy Tumblr while it exists in its current form. Soon it will be bombarded with ads, merged into some half-assed social networking scheme, censored heavily, and eventually die a slow death. And the funny thing is, the demise will be completely unforeseen by its owner/perps when it happens.


This is exactly what I was thinking. Goodbye Tumblr.

I find it hard to believe that they would destroy clothing rather than give it to the homeless. From a purely pragmatic point of view, that's just stupid. Why not donate them to the Salvation Army, or some other charity and write them off their taxes?

On the other hand, this does seem very typical of the hatred that a lot of people seem to have for the poor these days.

There's really no way she could have kept it private. Probably, if she'd tried to keep it private, the tabloid press and the entertainment news channels would have broken the news to even bigger fanfare.

What concerns me is her decision to have it done. I understand it, but it seems to me that someone with all her money could have had all the breast exams she needed. Most women don't have that option. The recommendation for women with the gene is a mammogram once a year and twice yearly breast exams. She could have had as many of either as she wanted.

I have no idea what I'd have done. Probably the same thing she did, but I don't have her options. If I did, it would make a difference in my thinking.

If you did get it when you reach 75 or so, could you not get a penis pump implant? You would still have your testicles, so you could still get it on and chase the old ladies around the nursing home.

What about preventive measures? What all does that entail? Diet, medication?

You could get a penile implant. Why wait though? You might be impotent some day. Go and get one now.

In my current state of paranoia, it just seems like another plot to raise revenue. They're not getting enough fines at .08 so they want to lower it to .05. The USA does have a problem with alcohol. It's that old Puritan thing I suppose. You're not supposed to enjoy yourself. People don't learn to drink properly because their parents don't teach them how. What's so magic about the age of 21? One night you can't drink, then the next you can get alcohol poisoning from chugging a litre of whiskey, completely legally.

There are things to consider before saying it's a good idea. I'd like to see the data that says cutting the limit to .05 would cut traffic fatalities by almost half. What do they base that on? It would certainly raise revenues though. Eventually, of course, no one would be able to go out to eat or drink without having to pay a hefty fine on the way home, and the restaurant and bar business would start to lose customers.

Wasn't the drinking age 18 in a lot of places before the Federal government threatened to cut off road money unless the states raised it to 21? Have lives been saved as a result? Did eighteen year old's just stop drinking? Did some of them use drugs because drugs are easier to get than fake ID's? Did some old geezers find it suddenly more profitable hanging around liquor stores and making buys for the under aged?

It's an ill wind that blows no good, they say.

Figging!!!

I can't believe that there isn't already a figging category. My sole ambition in life is to win an award for best figging story. That and the Nobel prize.

My grandfather had it, one of his son's had it - of course both were diagnosed with it when they were over the age of 75...so perhaps I should circumvent being diagnosed with it and just go ahead and get mine removed & beat cancer to the punch?

I've always thought Angelina was hot, but I've also always thought she was dain bramaged too. Her latest decision has again indicated that her elevator is stuck between floors.

What do you think?


(CNN) -- Actress Angelina Jolie announced in a New York Times op-ed article on Tuesday that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy after learning that she carries a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which sharply increases her risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

"My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer, although the risk is different in the case of each woman," Jolie wrote. "Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much I could. I made a decision to have a preventive double mastectomy."

From what I understand, all men who live long enough will get prostrate cancer. You need regular prostate exams though. Angelina Jolie could get regular breast exams. I'm not sure preventative surgery is a good idea. There are also complications that come from surgery.

Did Angelina Jolie get her ovaries removed as well? She could probably afford to hire someone to give her daily breast exams and pap smears. She could probably buy a mammogram machine and keep it in her house. If I were her, I think I'd be getting a second opinion.

If I had Brad Pitt in my house he'd be busy examining my breasts now.

If Obama is right of center, then I'm the Dalai Lama.



I agree that conservatives have moved so far right that he seems liberal, but then so does Nixon. His policies are to right of center of the classical European model. So were Clinton's. If we keep changing the meaning of what liberal is, soon Benito Mussolini will be a centrist.

On Valentine's Day he brought me two dozen roses, one for each year of my life, a bottle of Cabernet, the same 2001 Beringer that he had brought when I fixed him dinner the first time, a box of hand made chocolates that he had driven to Gatlinburg to buy from from the candy store where we had brought chocolates on our first weekend away together, and a beautiful leather paddle with a pink...

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } Neal Cannon always seemed to be looking at me lustfully. He never said anything that might be construed as remotely sexual, but his look always made me feel like he was thinking about dragging me off somewhere and ravishing me. I'd seen that look in other men's eyes on many occasions, and it always meant that I was either going to fuck or fight off their...

 I heard the door closing as Neal led out of the living room and toward the stairway that led to the bedroom. When we got to the stairs, he let go of my hand and told me to go up first. I walked ahead of him, holding onto the rail. It was very well polished and I wondered how it would feel to slide down it naked. “ You have a beautiful ass,” Neal said. “ Thank you,” I said. “You wife...

Alone on the tiny dance floor, Kristen Fowler's hips swayed slowly in rhythm to the slow blues the band was playing. Her long tanned legs and flowing blond hair moved like wind and water. The guitar solo sent chills into her soul, reminding her of Jimmy, the way his fingers would dance on the fretboard and on her skin. Jimmy played better lead than this guy, but there was no denying that the...

Sterling smacked my ass, spun me around and pushed me against the wall. “I'm going to fuck you standing up,” he said. “Right here and now.” “You're getting married to my sister,” I said. “So I'm going to have to say no.” “I'm going to fuck you,” he said. “Sooner or later.” His lips moved toward mine and I found myself puckering up to meet them. He tasted of whiskey and apples with...

I was bent over Andre Beasley's desk, my panties hanging on one ankle, my slacks off, holding onto the edge and moaning with pleasure as Bernie Graham's stiff throbbing cock drove deeply in and out of me. We were working late for the third time that week, and with the weekend coming up and no excuse to get away from our spouses we were making the most of Friday afternoon. Getting that...

My parents have a library. I was a very lucky girl growing up, not because of the collection of classics that they had in leather bound editions, or even the enormous number of new books that they seemed to add constantly from visits to the book store or from various book clubs that they belonged to. I liked a lot of those, but my favorite books in their collection weren't actually on the...

A girl has to set some rules for herself. One of my rules is to never go to his place the first time. I used to have a rule that I never put out on a first date, but after violating it for the umpteenth time I decided to drop that one. I feel much safer in my own apartment though. Not that nothing could go wrong there, of course, but my neighbors are pretty nosy so I think they'd probably...
