Every time I turn around, there's another story about a teacher having sex with students. Is this a new phenomenon or is society only now starting to treat it as a criminal act?

I just think it's very odd that suddenly there are dozens of such cases around the country where for centuries, you rarely heard of such a thing except as schoolboy fantasies.

It's kind of like the peanut-butter allergy that came absolutely out of nowhere. When I went to school, kids packed peanut butter sandwiches into their lunch boxes school and there was never one peep about some other student being "allergic" to it. In fact, we would have laughed that kid out of class because it would have sounded so ridiculous to us.

So, if a teacher was to ply her students with Reese's peanut cups in order to get them to have sex with her, would her prison sentence be double?

My brother had sex with his teacher when he was 17, this is way back in the 1970s. He even dated her when he graduated and I think they broke up when he was around 20 or 21. He even brought her over the house for dinner and my parents knew she was his former teacher. No big deal, he had the time of his life, he loved her and she was cool. This kind of stuff always went on in my opinion. It’s different today though because these guys find out they can sue for the ridiculous claim of “sexual abuse” and get a big payout, and being the greedy punks they are they say to hell with the teacher, throw her to the wolves so they can fill their bank accounts. That’s the real crime here.

I think the peanut allergy thing is stupid too. I love peanut butter.

Supposedly, it comes from idiots trying to find an “all natural” alternative to regular old baby oil. Yup, they used peanut oil and those kids grew up with peanut allergies. So, if a person has peanut allergies, they’re probably children of crazy left-leaning hippies, anyway.

In the past many of these cases were swept under the rug (and some still are). I believe they are also becoming more common as more and more women are unable to find a marriage partner.
