    "Oh and I explained why he should walk off in my opinion:" - he is old: I guess the US shouldn't puruse Bin Laden because he's oldddddddddddddddddddd........ - he never did that again: Proof? There's definiotely been evidence that he's done that sort of thing afterwards including pictures with him being a little too cozy with young girls. I have very little doubt he *has* done it again. - putting him in jail wont achieve much, you will have to pay for him(if you pay taxes and are America that is): It will show that just because you are famous, you won't get away with raping teenage girls - he should pay lots of money for some organization that helps people who were abused sexually instead of going in jail and doing nothing.: No. He should do no such thing. Money doesn't fix the problem. - and the case is really old: Irreleavnt. The fact he ran, and managed to escape justice for 30 eyars don't change the fact he broke the law, and did something immoral. Again, you are suggesting all charges should be dropped if the CONVICTED confict manages to hide. btw, This is akin to a criminal escaping prison and fleeing. I guess the law should stop pursusing him. - It should also be pointed out that a grand jury made the judgement that there was enough evidence to take him to trial over the rape charges. THAT'S when he did his plea bargain. So, there WAS evidence. He likely pleaded because he knew there was a good chance he'd be found guilty of the worst crimes. Bottom line is this scumbag raped a a young girl by using drugs, alcohol, and an extreme abuse of position of authority. Disgusting. Also, immoral, and illegal. The guy got away with it mostl;y too, and that wans't good enough for him so he fled like a coward. The hilarious thing if he had just faced his punishment (a couple of months at most), this would be long over. The thing is he's facing a longer inprisonment just waiting to see what will happen now then if he just went to prison then. Even now, he's probably just going to end ip with probation and an absolute maximum of 2 years. The guy is an idiot. But, most importantly, a rapist. P.S. Believing a biased documentary made by his friends is 100% fact is a very scary thing to do.

    "What's so funny about that? You think say a 25, 30 or 50 year old adult male having sex with a girl under the legal age is okay if it's consensual? It's called statutory rape. " If it's concensual, it's not rape. I don't care for this redefintion of the term rape. Statuary rape is a lame term invented by cowards. Consensual sex is not rape. Period. btw, This does NOT mean I approve of 50 year olds sexing up 15 year old. And, what does gender have to do with it? Are you sexist like most of the world?
  3. Shanahan is an old geezer. He should retire.

    "From Polanski's side - he left because his sweetheart plea bargain deal was going to be ignored by the judge according to him and he felt like the judge and the DA colluded to convince him to plead guilty so they could make an example of him." The judge didn't betray any deal. Judges don't negotiate plea bargains. That's between the two sides. It wouldn't be the first or last time that a judge did not accept a plea bargain deal. They don't need to rubber stamp them either. That said, some people have accused the judge in this case of playing games with the prosecution even thoguh that hans't really been proven. But, again, judges have abnsolutely no obligation to accept plea bargains. They normally do since it's cheaper and easier in the long run but is no guarantee.
  8. "Lol, I just read the judge residing over the Basille/ Coyotes deal ruled neither he nor the NHL should be allowed to buy the team." better read again. He did no such thing in regards to the NHL. Nice try, though. Oh, btw, Basille, apparantly gave up his pursuit. 'Bout time.

    "The law tells them not to. They shouldn't do it " "It is against the Law. The Law is the Law and no one is above the Law. If you disagree with the Law that does not give you the right to break the Law. In Iowa those 15 year old boys would be charged and placed on the sex offender list. Hell, sexting has gotten minors prison time and labeled as such. It is the Law." These comments are just as bad as comments defending Polanski's actions. btw, The alw isn't always right. In fact, it's very often wrong. But, hey, I guess slavery was fine and dandy when it was legal. And, I guess brothers and fathers murdering their sisters/daughters because they were alone with an unrelated male is a ok too because it's legal, right? Give me a break. Supporting illogical, and immoral laws is just plain old fashion silly.
  10. Nah. they'll be about the same as last season. It all depends on Luongo, anyways.
  11. "Also, the count of teams who have cut Garcia since he left Tampa is now at 2-- maybe he's just not that good anymore.) " You should look at the teams involved before saying silly stuff. Oakland is a joke, and Philly's overstuff with QBs espciially since Kolb is showing he cna play some NFL football. Heck, there's talk of Philly potentially trading a certain someone (likely won't happen). Garcia is a good QB, who has succeeded quite well. It's no coincidence that both teams that dumped him (TB & OAK) suck. Poor personnel decisions like this are a key reason why.

    One could justify anything; doesn't make it right. What Polanksi did was immoral,m and a crime. He raped a young girl via using drugs, alcohol, and abusing his position of power. He's also been convicted officially of having sex with a minor. There is no defending what he did unless you feel it's moreally okay to rape someone. And, the fact she may have had sex before the incident doesn't make it okay. He should fry. That said,m I don't think we should paint all situations where an adult sleeps with a teen the same. btw, to me, there is a HUGE difference between rape (which this was) and concensual sex (even if it's not cool). The age difference, and abuse of power is enoguh to make this wrong, and as a 44 year old he should have known that. I, also, btw, do NOT think an 18 year old should be considered a rapist for having consensual sex with a 15 year old. Period. Same with a 16 and 14 year old. Or even more ridiculous a 15 with a 15. NO LOGIC THERE.
  13. "It's important not to fall too far behind. If you get 8-10 games behind everyone you end up looking for the upsets every week just to gain ground on everyone." Yup. This is also why I tend to almost always vote for the 'favorites' even though I realize every week there will be upsets. *cough* WSH-DET *cough* There's a reason why they're favorites.

    "As for Romanski, what I heard is that this girl wanted to get laid and she had other men before Roman P. She also wanted the charges to be dropped all those years." Yeha, you heard that from the people who are pro Romanski. It was rape. He drugged her, got her drunk, and used his position of authority to sexually abuse her. She also told him no repeatedly. It is rape. And, the fact he ran and managed to 'hide' for 30ish years doesn't make the crime any less. To me, her age is almsot irreleavnt (just makes it sicker) because she said no, and he used to drugs to control her. And, as mentioned, she only wants the case to be dropped because she wants to move on NOT because she thinks he's innocent. He's guilty, and she knows it. As for moving on.. it should be pointed out, that if he had faced the music 30 years ago, they *all* would have been able to move on so tack that on to another of his immoral crimes. Also, he seems to have ZERO remorse for his heinous actions, still makes excuses, etc., etc. Guy is scum no matter how good a movie director he is (and that's actually debatable as well).

  17. Wow. I'm pleasantly surprised I went 12-4 again, and that includes the DET-WSH garbage. L0L
  18. I doubt IT. BIO has been that successful in their 10+ existence but NOT that successful. Heck, I'd be surprised if ALL their games to date have even made 100mil in total profit. L0L
  19. Proof or didn't happen. I don't believe such slander about anyone posting on random messages that ar edone just to make the poster feel good that he is slagging someone famous that they proclaim to know. I don't care about Dushku, nor do I think she's a 'great' actress. "actors, models, musicians and sports figures, to name but a few (and these morons actually think they are worth $20 Mil to "star" in a single movie or play football for a couple of years!)" Actually, they are worth it. If the companies who make hundreds of millions off this movies, and the customers are willing to pay then the people who who work hard should get paid as well. Let's not forget that working on a movie (or even a tv show) usually involved 6 days a week/16+ hours a day which is NOT a typical work. Not to mention the pressure of trying to do your job in the public eye where people continually try to beat you down and trash you. "Not that I have to prove anything to the likes of you, Volourn," Nor does she have to prove anything to YOU. " but I was there!" Dushku, 'untalented' as you claim to be, has actually entertained me in multiple projects including Dollhouse (underrated), Buffy, and Angel.
  20. Cutler is a great QB. Favre is awesome, and the crying because of the best QBs in the game today continues to prove it where it counts - on the field - is hilarious.
  21. So, that's it? All that hoopla, and he's already throwing in the towel because one team are scumbag morons? By alla ccounts he played great yet they throw him in the trash? It's obvious that the Flames only signed him to get some media attention and had absolutely no intention of keeping him on the roster. And, now, the little punk is quitting? Meh.
  22. Denver is dung. They got rid of a great coach and a great QB. Those are dumb, dumb, dumb moves.
  23. This is what you get when you dump a QB the calibre of Garcia. Just like the Raiders are learning this lesson, too.
  24. 'Not to mention, by releasing AFTER Mass Effect 2, they are putting themselves in a very rough spot, as that is AP's direct competitor in terms of gameplay comparisons." I don't really know if this is really true. BIO, and Obsidian's audience largely overlaps anyways. In fcat, I bet that 90% of people who buy Obsidian games also buy BIO games. So, these people ar elikely to buy both games even if they simultaneously release.
