Another teacher was identified as Ronald Bridge, who is an elementary school teacher at Sunset Primary School in West Linn.

Also arrested was Professor John Backus from Western Oregon University. Backus is also known as "Nick" Backus on campus.

Here in Alabama,the Game and Fish division had a sting on a federal wildlife refuge.One woman,and I think 24 men.Most were homosexual.Some exposed themselves to officers or fondled them.A prominent lawyer,some teachers,and a pastor were arrested.This was in a swamp,btw.

Very true, Anyone who as ever served in the armed sevices in a third world country will tell you that sex in the village was rampant and readily available and it was all hetero. No queers when you can screw all night with one of the natives for 20 bucks or less.

Wow! Then you must not know too many men!

Or perhaps I just know a better class of men then you have come to lump together into one gross generalization.

This is naive.

Not really, perhaps you are naive of the practices that occur in bath houses. I am not saying (as my earlier statement overstated) that such things never occur, I am just saying that they may occur at a very, very low rate. This is naive.

"What is this public sex deal with the gay community?"

They can't do it at home because their wives might come home early.

Just checked the WOU website--he is listed as Nick Backus there. They have him as department chair and associate professor (not assistant professor). There is a list of his scheduled courses: Interpersonal communication, Persuasion, and Nonverbal communication.

Presumably he was at the park conducting research.

"Only gay men hang around parks trying to get laid, because most women aren’t interested in anonymous sex."

I guess you haven't met my ex-wife.

I love your screen name!

“Or perhaps I just know a better class of men then you have come to lump together into one gross generalization.”

Well this is all generalization, isn’t it? Not all gay men have sex in parks, not all straight men only have monogamous missionary position sex.

“Not really, perhaps you are naive of the practices that occur in bath houses.”

Never having been in one, that’s possible.. but I’ll go out on a limb and say it’s not very probable.

“I am not saying (as my earlier statement overstated) that such things never occur, I am just saying that they may occur at a very, very low rate.”

Yes, and I agree with you on the point, but I disagree with the reason for that reality. I think that the sexual restraint (no pun intended) of heterosexual men has more to do with the unwillingness of women to play along than it has to do with any innate character difference between them and gay men.

The original post that I commented to lumped all men into a category as wanting aberrational sex, if given the opportunity, I disagree with that generalization.

You refer to young men, 18-24, in an environment that is itself very rare. What some people may be willing to do in their youth, they should mature out of, hopefully they did.

I will still say that few men, across the board, all age ranges, want to engage in promiscuous sex with a woman who has just engaged in sex with a dozen other guys, or a woman who does so on a regular basis.

Additional information and pictures of all arrested: Salem-News.com

Most of the complaints seemed to center around public indecency and Polk County Sheriff's Office Spokesman Dean Bender says it also involved men handling and displaying their genitals in the open and public masturbation.

That's my biggest concern. What are they hiding?

This is a Portland, OR TV station trying to be PC. All they're reporting is that there were arrests, a sting, and the names of those caught. Of course, having homosexual sex in the bathrooms of state parks should be completely legal in the eyes of liberal Portland media.

I news Googled one of the names, and was led to a Salem Statesman-Journal online article that avoided mention of gay sex, but provided a few more details than this silly TV piece.

No but was this a school function or at school? With students? If no, then what matter is it that they were id’d as teachers? Lord knows what other teachers, straight or otherwise do in their personal lives. In a park is odd but for the fact that they were teachers is irrelevant to me.

You sound like a professor.

You have heard the phrase, "...so stupid only an academic would believe it," haven't you?

see my post #73.

And one need not go to a bath house to know what goes on in them. All one has to do is read, have friends who are cops, or have friends who work in the ER who have pumped fluids out men's stomachs.
