This is a daily occurrence for me: A table of lets say 6 will all want separate checks and then will all try to give me coupons. It states right on the coupon that it is one per TABLE! When I inform them of this their response is always "but we are paying separately". I don't know why they think that separate checks means they are sitting at their own table.

Lolwut? How dare people use online dating sites to find other people to have sex with!
Hardly outside the norm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_for_cash_scandal
It's kind of hard to have sympathy for people who committed statutory rape. It also bothers me that the blog referred to those incidents as "consensual sex" and "low-level offenders" and that the judge was "harsh" on them because of "his own moral qualms with modernity."
I have qualms with statutory rape as well. I guess I'm just an old fuddy duddy :(
You must not have read the article describing what happened. She lied about her age, saying she was 17. At his sentencing both she and her mom spoke out against making him a sex offender, which the judge ignored because of some kind of apparent moral crusade.Quote:

The author took it to mean "You wanted to meet women for sex. You're scum."
To me the judge is saying people are so concerned with having "the sex" these days that they don't even bother to get to know the person first anymore. Which is fine. If that's the way you want to do things who am I to stop you? But then you should be prepared to pay the consequences if it turns out that 19 year old woman you had sex with last night was really a 14 year old girl. You didn't want to bother to get to know them first to make sure they are at least 18 then you pay the price afterwards. I think that's what the judge meant by "There is no excuse for this." The man was looking to place the blame on the girl for lying about her age.
I have more sympathy for these men if they meet these underage girls in a club where you have to be at least 18 to enter or meet them at a bar. At least there is a reasonable belief that they might actually be of age. But anyone can create an online profile and claim they are 18. If you don't take the time to gauge their real age then that should be on you.
I did read the article. You don't get to break the law then get away with it because the victim is willing to take the blame. How upside down would that turn our justice system?Quote:

Same reason prisoners can't consent to sex. What if the prison guard threatened the inmate to have sex, then when the relationship was uncovered the guard then threatened the inmate to say it was consensual, then the abuse continued since it was now "consensual"? That's why the law says no, you get caught having sex with an inmate, no matter what, you are being charged with a crime.
She also violated the TOS on Hot or Not by lying about her age.
Okay then, Hot or Not can go after her for that then. It has nothing to do with the guy having sex with her.Quote:

Prisoners losing their ability to consent to sex might not be universal, but I'm pretty sure it exists in most states and federal prisons.Quote:

This is another part of protecting vulnerable members of our society because if not knowing the real age was a valid defense then men/women would just never ask the age of anyone. "Hey that chick looks pretty young, I'm gonna play it safe and never find out her age."
To Catch a Predator isn't a good analogy in this situation because the people on the show never engaged in sex with anyone (you know what I mean.)Quote:

The reason To Catch a Predator is different is because those men are agreeing to meet what they think are underage boys/girls with the intent to have sex with them. That is a whole different story.

Also the defendant has to prove he was deceived or had reason to believe she wasn't under age. He's probably not going to convince a jury that he honestly thought a very obviously 13 year old looking girl was really 23. Likewise if people told him the girl's real age, or he went around telling everyone about his hot 13 year old girlfriend, then he can't very well say "Well she lied about her age so I'm in the clear."Quote:

IIRC Oppenheimer had great concerns over widespread and unchecked advancement in technology.
I just thought it was interesting. Personally I don't worry about a super power using nukes, they are useless from the point of gaining land and resources. It's the crazy fuckers I worry about getting their hands on a nuke, you know, someone like Ted Cruz, that shits scary.Quote:

Stop, drop and roll.
As long as the bows aren't black, we're good.Quote:

That Rousey/Correia fight.
Someday, somehow, another female fighter with some semblance of skill is going to knock her on her ass. WE NEED A HERO. It blows my mind that tickets to her fights still sell, you're not really getting your money's worth for that one round.Quote:

Also why people bought Iron Mike tickets in his prime.
Is she not particularly skilled or something? My knowledge of MMA is 'hit make fall down'.
She is very skilled I think. Her fists are fast. Look at the final two hits. Right hand to the temple and the left hand to the same spot as Correia was falling down.Quote:

She's like JJ Watt vs. an 8th grade football player, w/r/t her opponents.Quote:

Are you implying that Rousey has no skill?Quote:

The opposite actually.Quote:
