Tuesday, April 10, 2012 8:32:08 PM So, conflicted. Obviously the kid is *not* gonna be upset by this, the problem is he won't understand why he's going to prison when he bangs a sixteen year old girl. That's sorts how molestation works. It crosses up the wiring and makes you think unacceptable behavior is okay. |

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 5:01:40 PM Why is MacGuffin still allowed on this site? Arrogant, self righteous and just plain boring. We're all sick of seeing her posts. A typical American reaction to seeing opinion they don't like. For all your bullpoo talk about free speech, you really don't like it very much at all, do you? |

Just long paragraphs of her "opinions" which she defends as facts. This is not the site for you, dear. This is for humor and entertainment, things you clearly know nothing about. |

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 10:58:40 AM I believe the "lucky boy" prevailing societal attitude that goes along with the situation where the predator is a female and the victim is male, alongside the revulsion that the same society exhibits when the genders are reversed, is a big part of the reason why the gay woman I mentioned is now serving a very, very severe sentence for her first and only offence against a very willing victim that no doubt felt just as 'lucky' to be the object of her affections as the victim in this case did. I don't think anyone should be facing 10 years for this type of low-level offence, regardless of the genders of those involved. |

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 10:58:22 AM *My* opinion is that I don't think there should be a material distinction made in law, whether the victim is a boy or a girl. Sure, the physical consequences for a girl are sometimes more serious and long-lasting, but really, unless the relationship is actually 'non-consensual' on the part of the victim, I don't see any material difference whether the victim is male or female: it's still at the lower end of 'wrong' on the legal scale. ... |

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 10:57:42 AM @ MacGuffin - as I already said it's differant for a boy than a girl see if you can't put 1 and 1 together and get an answer to your question. If I just tell you the answer, you won't learn nothin' . It wasn't "an answer" that I was looking for, Gerry, nor am I looking for you to 'teach' me anything - get over yourself. It was your opinion in light of a different context that I was interested in. If you're not comfortable giving your opinion for any reason, that's absolutely fine.

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 5:59:09 AM The law is what it is and correctly so, but if my son came home and said he bumped uglies with an NFL cheerleader, we would sit down and have a heart to heart. Later I would brag about it to my friends. If my daughter spoke of a similar encounter, like any normal American dad, there would be a struggle to contain the rage and do the right thing. |

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 5:17:59 AM isn't the legal age of consent in the united states, 16? so technically he can legally have sex...amiright? Not with a teacher he can't. |

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 5:16:26 AM The fact of the matter is that the age thing isn't even why she's getting into trouble in the first place, so it's a moot point. The guy was over the age of consent. It's not even an argument. He wasn't over the age of consent for the context, which is 18. |

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 3:14:10 AM It is differant for a boy than a girl. Yes it's a double standard, but not sexist. Boys are differant from Girls. They react to things differantly, their emotional makeups are differant. The teachier's an idiot, but I still don't see a victim anywhere. Ignoring your atrocious spelling, I was wondering, given your views as expressed above, and given the fact you're gay, how you therefore feel about the case of otherwise-upstanding PE teacher Jennifer Lea Burton. She was agreed to be an upstanding pillar of her community, who'd never been in trouble before. She's presently serving a ten year stretch in a hell-hole of a prison in Marlin, Texas where there's not even clean water for the inmates to drink or flush toilets with in 100+ degree summer heat. Her crime? – aged 39, she slept with a 15-year-old pupil......who happened to be a girl. Is her crime materially different to this case, and did she deserve that serious a sentence, do you think?

Monday, April 09, 2012 10:03:23 PM Sure, this is creepy and, for 26, she's aging very poorly so even in my drunkest moment I wouldn't touch her . Dude. Either you're gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) or you're 100% lying.
Your argument is invalid. |

Monday, April 09, 2012 6:57:07 PM "No 16 year old boy ever cried himself to sleep because a girl used him for sex and told everyone about it. Unless of course she was really, really ugly." Very well said. No, this is not a crime. Yes, that boy is better than God. Also, her punishment should be sharing nudy pics with the interwebs!! |
