Guest The Architect Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) Having seen the title of this thread, then reading this 79 year old nun story, all I have to say is, keep your kids away from this Eddo36 guy. Edit: Even though the title has now been changed, the point still stands. Edited September 25, 2007 by The Architect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theslug Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Isn't there like a statute of limitations or something? After a certain amount of time you can't be charged with the crime you committed way back when. Either way I doubt she'd be charged. If the judge puts her in jail it's pretty much a death sentence and she's a nun and really old so she doesn't exactly have the money to pay anything. Whoever wasted their money hiring lawyers to for this case probably isn't too bright. Where is enoch when you need him? There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 The title for this thread is in complete bad taste, Eddo. It sounds like you condone sexual abuse of children. Whether or not that is your intent, I strongly urge the moderators to change the thread title or lock the thread. Sexual abuse should never be considered "fun."

Walsingham Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I hope Eddo will not be offended that I have pre-empted his own decision to alter the title to better suit the boundaries of good taste. I am sure I am merely speeding the process rather than going against his wishes. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete.

Walsingham Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Back on the subject, I think it is interesting that we find it difficult to know how to react in abuse cases involving women. There was another case in the UK recently of a gang of abusers that included a woman. The judge was far more forgiving of her than the others. In a way that was unjustifiable in my opinion. This links to another observation in criminology that I'm awre of (and thus may be very outdated) which is that juries tend to view women as "mad rather than bad". This tends to land them softer sentences. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Sand Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I happen to agree with that, Walsh. A crime should be punished in the full extent of the law, regardless of gender, orientation, and race. I am also in favor treating children who commit serious crimes as an adult if they are at least 16 years or older. By the time one reaches mid to late teens one should have a very strong sense what is right and wrong.

Tale Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Isn't there like a statute of limitations or something? After a certain amount of time you can't be charged with the crime you committed way back when. Yes, but it specific limits for specific crimes in specific jurisdictions. Obviously 47 years is not outside the statute for this crime in that location. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

taks Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 some particularly heinous crimes have no statute of limitations. i'm guessing sexual abuse of a minor qualifies, as does (for sure) murder/manslaughter and probably rape, too. taks comrade taks... just because.

Dark_Raven Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 The courts are as bad as the media. Not too long ago a female teacher was caught having sex with a student. They aired it once on the news and haven't about it since then. A few months ago a male teacher was caught having sex with a student and the news jumped all over him. They kept bring up this case until it went to court and he was convicted. The courts and media have double standards. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Pidesco Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Well, when I was 15 there were a couple of my teachers I wouldn't have minded having sex with. Anyway, this isn't a problem of the court's or the media's double standard but rather a question of general sexual mores. Meaning, if a father discovered his 15 year old son was having sex with a hot teacher he'd probably feel proud of the kid, while if it was a 15 year old daughter the dad would've have wanted to take the teacher down for taking away his daughter's "innocence".

Guest The Architect Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Well, when I was 15 there were a couple of my teachers I wouldn't have minded having sex with. Yeah, there were a couple of hottie teachers at my high school that I certainly wouldn't have minded having sex with. Wouldn't have minded is an understatement, actually. Ah, the imagination. What a wonderful thing. Anyway, this isn't a problem of the court's or the media's double standard but rather a question of general sexual mores. Meaning, if a father discovered his 15 year old son was having sex with a hot teacher he'd probably feel proud of the kid, while if it was a 15 year old daughter the dad would've have wanted to take the teacher down for taking away his daughter's "innocence". Correctamundo. I think either way, teacher/student relationships, sexual encounters and stuff are just wrong. Some people say age isn't a big deal. I'm not one of those people. To me, if you don't stick to around your own age group, you're a desperate, ****ed in the head person. Well, I'm being biased, though. I mean, I wouldn't want my 23 year old brother flirting with girls around my age group. Why? Because they're for me damn it, not him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I was about to weigh in with some statement or other, then I realised it probably wasn't that special. This is one hell of a complex issue. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Tale Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I don't think it's that complex. Sex isn't so necessary that it's worth going to jail for just to have it with someone under the age of 18 (17 in some states). But then again, some people get so obsessed with relationships and the people in them that the concept of not being involved with someone (particular someones or general someones) and consumating it is beyond comprehension to them. Hence why I just shake my head at people in general. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Architect Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) Teachers should know better, even if the student wants it and stuff. I mean, if a hot teacher wanted to have sex with me, I wouldn't decline the offer, no way. Even though I know it could have serious consequences for the teacher, that's their problem, not mine. If a teacher wants to sexually fantasize over a student, good for them. I still think they're being a dirty bastard, or dirty cow, but yeah. When it goes beyond fantasy, then it becomes a problem. None of us want to die a virgin, but as Tale said, sex isn't worth going to jail for. Edited September 26, 2007 by The Architect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidesco Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I don't think the problem is a question of unequal footing between teacher and student. For me the issue is that most girls are brought up to be wary of sex while boys are brought up to be more open and more aggressive about sex. This makes the situation completely different when it's a male student rather than a female one. While for a male teen, consensual sex with someone older might healthy, and even a major self confidence boost, for a female teen, it brings with it a much bigger and more dangerous load of emotional baggage. Of course, these issues will likely be exacerbated by the teacher's position but, again, those issues are a direct consequence of the child's mores. I hope this doesn't make me sound like I support child molesting, or something.
