The Cranberries prior posting about the gal singer who assaulted the flight attendant and cop was the last stupid straw about posting about guilt based on looks. (Note I am not a big Cranberries fan, I have no dog in this particular hunt - it's just an example.)
I am not against posts that discuss a person's looks per se. Particularly if it factors into the issue being discussed. If it's relevant, it's relevant.
What I am objecting to are the stupid inane posts that add nothing of value to the thread and detract from the reputation of this site as being a far better place than any liberal discussion site out there.
I am just so flipping tired of idiots claiming to be conservatives posting comments of absolutely zero value about the guilt or innocence of - almost always - a female person, based solely on her looks.
It's stupid. After being done a billion times, it's not even funny. Why so-called conservatives here think this is appropriate every time a female is in a news story that has potential criminal/illegal actions, what it really is is just tiresome. It adds nothing substantive to the thread. It makes the image of this place look crass.
And it makes light of actual crimes committed by people based on if they have breasts and vaginas. And it's entirely one way. Note we do not have thousands of post replies over the years discussing the guilt or innocence of male criminals based on how good looking they are. The female conservatives here (and the pervy guys who post all the time about females) have somehow restrained themselves from any posts of this kind, yet they cannot help themselves to go this way when there's a legal controversy with a female. Then it's find a photo, and let the idiotic guilt or innocence comment postings commence.
Can we just try to keep it classy here? Do we always have to devolve to appeal to the lowest common denominator of gutter humor here when women make the news for bad behavior/crimes? Don;t we have better standards as conservatives? Having a sense of humor is important, but why is it funny that a woman is innocent or guilty because of her looks? What makes this funny? Because ugly women deserve to be locked up? Because hot women can always get out of crimes or bad behavior and ugly women can't? This is the funny stereotype these comments are playing off of?
And when the crimes are sexual crimes, as they often are, in the articles these comments surface in, why should this be made fun of? Because there aren't any negative consequences that occur to a young boy or girl when an adult female decides to satisfy their sexual urges with usually an underage boy or girl? The same stuff isn't treated lightly or humorously when an adult male does it, in fact death threat statements and the like are posted. But it's all fun and games and smart-ass humor when a woman does it.
What makes it wrong is conservatives ought to know better. They do know that there are negative consequences to teens who have sex with adults, BOTH men and women. It's not victimless only if a woman does it. It screws up their viewpoint of sex and male-female relationships. In both cases these posters KNOW that it's wrong to have an adult authority figure having sex with kids they are in positions of overseeing. It's wrong for male and female adults to look at students as potential personal sexual conquests.
This is sick behavior for a site supposedly made up of conservatives.

Oh wait,,
Not Guilty!

"Oh, you're not fun, anymore."
Oh, I had the childhood.
What do you think made me a hound?
Hey, here's an idea. Let's hit it!
Yer totally screwed. This is the Obama Era of doubling-down.
I'm going to double my "I'd hit it" and "She's NOT GUILTY" posts.
Go ahead. Try to impeach me. See if blacks don't burn down the cities.
In short...
Guilty X 100
You say that like it's a bad thing, and what you say with mockery, I say in earnest! What a pimply-faced adolescent I am, soaring above the heavens like an eagle! How poignant and proud are my bad teeth! How elegant, how refined, how like a god is the face of man as he learns to appreciate the finest objects of art in the world, to rival even the collection at the Hermitage: THE SEARS LINGERIE CATALOG!
That pic makes me hear Tubular Bells
I agree. I can’t stand it. Well posted!
GOLUX SAY:
REAL MEN LOVE WOMEN... WE’RE NOT MEAN TO THEM.
Secret Agent Man, as a woman, I’ve never once taken offense from those threads. Not even slightly. I recognize that it’s all joking, done in fun, and that no one is seriously suggesting female criminals should go unpunished because of their looks.
Come on, now.
Guilty.
How say you? Guilty or Not Guilty?
Not guilty, by reason of clinical insanity.
I'm not doing my job then.

Why don't you ping him if you're going to criticize him behind his back.
With an attitude like that, I suspect you are very very not guilty. For the most part it is the guilty ones have the panty wad problems.
