The last great Van Halen album, too. DLR had a couple of near-VH quality hits, but until Me Wise Magic, nothing at the same level. Unfortunately, that drunk Eddie will keep the best rock band ever apart. I'll look forward to peeing on his grave.

A Warren County elementary teacher faces a maximum 100 years in prison if she's convicted of having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old boy.
Only news two was in Fentress County as 27-year-old Pamela Rogers Turner was arrested and charged with 15 counts of sexual battery by an authority figure and 13 counts of statutory rape. District Attorney General Dale Potter said that Turner, a physical education teacher and coach at Centertown Elementary, had an ongoing sexual relationship with a male student. Potter said that some of the incidents even took place at school and at the boy's home, where the teacher reportedly lived a short while.
"Most of the time, we try to prosecute them as harshly as possible when it comes to sex crimes involving children. As far as this case, we intend to prosecute it to the fullest extent possible. As far as saying that she will get an x amount of time or anything like that, that will probably be determined by a judge," said Potter.
I think we must have attended the same schools. No hot, young, twenty-something teachers when I was in school...
Lets just say that guys asked questions in class for the sake of watching her stroll o'er to the blackboard and write a few formulae - all the better for us to learn, you understand.
It's not just the rural south of long ago. Try all too many classrooms across America. You will find living proof that when government subsidizes something, lots of that thing are produced. True for crops and true for bastards.
Oops! How un-PC of me; I meant children of single parent families. Or did I ;-)
LOL. wardaddy, this thread reads like True Confessions. I couldn't help thinking when I read this report: "geez, I hope that isn't one of my cousins." McMinnville is my ancestoral home and I have relatives there.
I know, but my kinfolks had no welfare...there was no such animal.
It was expediency and they were expected to be responsible ...and they were.
Damn, where were these teachers when I was a teenager?
Well it's the arbor capital of America and the pot growing capital of Tennessee.
Pretty country actually.
life is not fair is it?
Yes, I suppose so. I'm on the edge of it myself. Politics is not something your typical '70s teenager thought about very deeply. ;-)
If you are going to say things like that, please change your tagline.
LOL - I got proofed for beer on Super Bowl Sunday. I keep telling myself it's not because I'm short and shaved that day ;)
I have read of 17 year old lads charged with rape because their girlfriend was 15 and having to report as sex offenders.
I would prefer my daughters not to date over a grade apart but rape sounds excessive and reeks of Hawthorne.
They were there, you boys just didn't talk about it back then. My hubby relates the loss of his virginity at age 12 to a much older married woman. He thought it was pretty neat and has never felt traumatized over it. Back then we didn't talk about sex. It was not a topic for conversation. It simply happened and nothing was said. I was attacked and almost raped by one of the church deacons when I was 14. I fought my way out of the situation (being a scrappy sort of girl) and never mentioned it to anyone. I never felt abused because I had been taught that men have no control(sorry guys, it's a steel magnolia thing) and it's up to the female to do a couple of things: stay out of their reach or fight like a wildcat. If those options failed you never mentioned it. I know several women who failed and only mentioned it in recent years because now we talk about it.
I think the same is true for the guys. Stuff happens. I think we analyze too much.
Please tell me you were not a political geek as a kid.
I guess you weren't their type. Otherwise, they were around. As far as pedophilic behavior goes, any profession which offers close contact with children is, unfortunately, a magnet for them. Yet screening them out is becoming more and more difficult because those who are most likely to commit these crimes (statistically proven to be gays and lesbians) are now considered to be "normal" people. Now that they are "out of the closet" so to speak, we can see just how many are in these occupations involving our children, and there is nothing we can do about it. it's come to a point where they are molding the minds of our children to not only consider these same sex relationships, but also encouraging them to participate in them,

That is a great quote. Mind if I put it on my Freeper home page? You'll get full credit.
Oh no! I went back and read the first part again to see which school was involved. Centertown was where I lived when I was 2 & 3 years old. That is where I threw a glass bottle into the highway and brother threatened to tell. I ran into the road and sat down and started picking up the broken glass, holding up traffic and giving my Mom a heart attack. That is where I polished my white shoes with black shoe polish. That is where Dr. Gilbert lived across the street and had one of those neat double swings that you push with your feet. He would give us shots and then give us the little vials to play with. Man, I'm regressing here.
Let's put it this way: I voted for Jerry Ford because Jimmy Carter had big teeth.
