No, I meant I didn't think about the rape - abuse connection.
I live in an illegal alien network and am familiar with the high stats of male hispanic rape.
But I didn't stop and think about the possibility of them being abused as children which would add to tendencies to commit rape.
Gotta check on the shrimp. Back later.
Mmmmm, shrimp! I think I need to thaw some and have us a shrimp boil tonight!
Thanks, Calpernia, I'm all to familiar with these horror stories from too many places in the world. Fortunately, China is not on our border, well, yet.
Gotta check on the shrimp. Back later.
Shrimp?? You are just a tease!
Happy New Year, Calpernia.
That is right out of an early LP platform. So yes, straw, like the majority of their lightweight, sophomoronic arguments.
I clicked JoJo's profile page before he got banned and there was an odd little thingie at the bottom that read my ISP and what version of windows (or was it OE?) my computer is running. Is that weird?
I saw that, too. JoJo was a little much. Wonder how long he's been banned for.
I guess not gone for long. Oh well. C'est la vie!
It may very well have been over the top, but so are certain hypocrites calling 13 year old girls little whores. Just as the preacher said last night, they're all representatives of the Church, and what they do is what brings someone in or keeps them out. So, I couldn't and wouldn't let them have a pass. Their actions also reflect on the Freep too.
Yep, we all need someone every now and then. We're all just trying to make one more day.
If you and your little cabal of self righteous rants wanted to talk about how the border situation is awful, turns honest people into criminals on both sides of the border, causes resentment among Americans, breeds corruption, and various other problems, I would be right there with you. I am in agreement that we need a fence/wall/secure border, and I think the hissy fit that Vincente Fox is throwing is stupid, shortsighted (he is a politician playing to passions where he is) and bound to cause even more resentment over here.
What I despise about you and your buddies is your willingness to sieze on any thread, pull the most LAME, STUPID and HATEFUL connections, like saying that the existence of children expoited in the sex trade in Mexico is caused by the migration of men north of the border to send money back to their families. You cap off that bit of cultural gymnastics by sneering at the "family values" of those south of the border, as though the existence of perversion for profit existed only there, was not in evidence in the USA (or any other country, I guess) and the fact that it was there was evidence of the degeneracy of a culture.
You and you little band of haters come up with this crap constantly on immigration threads. Sneers and condescending remarks, wishing evil on people whom you never met and know NOTHING about, combined with your haughtiness and arrogance toward people who are on the lowest rung of our society would make anyone but the most self righteous bigot ashamed. Moreover, you and your buddies will make the most outlandish, unsupported allegations against anyone who challenges your line of junk. I have been accused of every kind of ideological deviancy, economic dishonesty, and unethical motivation, simply for saying that this kind of tripe is wrong, it is hateful, it is wicked and all of the horrid mess about the border (and it is a horrid mess) does not justify it. I have come to utterly despise it, and you and your buddies for your smug, arrogant, shriveled little souls on display.
There, go run to the mods and whine about that.
I was pretty calm until I saw your idiotic response, especially considering how I've been crying foul over the fakers.
Don't you ever dare try to publicly dress me down while the Fakers get passes over calling young girls little whores. I'll crawl all over you like stench on a hippie.
Naah, lots of people have that. Typically the Linux-oriented ones.
Cheers!
That's funny. Yesterday I thought of saying you were hitting the champagne bottle early, but didn't. Must've restrained myself somehow. ;)
You keep talking about fakers. What do you mean by that?
Do they say things like
"Let him who has run out of stones commit the first sin"
or
"Neither do I condemn you; go and sin some more"
Seriously now, peer pressure, ridicule, belittlement are a means of controlling people's behaviour which still come short of passing intrusive laws, which it appears you also object to.
Yes, you are correct "the kids have always done it", but that's something of a red herring. The questions which are left out of that are --
which kids;
How often?
Under what circumstances?
--are they shunned or glorified by their peers for doing so?
I suggest (see the last paragraph of the vanity you were kind enough to read!) that all of those metrics have "slid off of a cliff" since the 1960's "sexual banzai charge".
Sex is fun, but it used to be more people had more control: and greater society enforced greater external controls, so even if some kids were tempted, they couldn't consummate (there, is that better?) and had to settle for a stand-up double.
(Granted, teenagers have been known to try to stretch a bunt into a triple...)
But all of this probably belongs better on that other thread.
As far as the pedophilia issues, I think concentrating on DEMAND side here in the states would be better, based on stories from friends about how they fended of sexual "harrisment" in the workplace.
Cheers!
Here it is, in all it's scary and terrifying glory. It's an IMAGE file, a simple .jpg file, nothing mysterious:

However, children always have the right to establish their maturity by assuming administration and protection of their own rights, ending dependency upon their parents or other guardians, and assuming all responsibilities of adulthood. A child is a human being and, as such, deserves to be treated justly.
See? Since the LP considers laws against pornography and prostitution violations of individual liberty, and since children "always have the right to establish their maturity by assuming administration and protection of their own rights", then my point is valid, right?
I don't care what differences you have with what you consider a faker.
I will cry foul again and again for referencing someone's child that is not in a news article posted.
I came late to this.
A blessed New Year to you and I'm glad you didn't let the stinker get you down.
