if you follow ron's line of reasoning, then your explanation (2) might also follow. i.e. that it was known about, but was considered "ancient history" and not officially on rickard's record.

thx for the tip guys. flashblock and adblock installed.
no more annoying bullshit taking up my bandwidth.

they tried to make me duel that guy who isn't actually lord lucan.
but... well... his possum is more impressive than mine, and i got a little scared...

bro... i can get you her phone number, if you want.

Not out of a sense of ownership, but out of familial (or just human) responsibility.
absolutely... i gauge crimes by thinking of the impact they'd have on a member of my own family.
if someone assumed i view women as chattels, they'd be drawing a long bow.

re: daughters.
soz... was trying to get the troll to think his off the cuff statements thru. will take stephen's advice and not feed the trolls..

michael f said it all ron.
you're putting up a series of red herring to justify the depraved behaviour of bent cops.
let me ask you again. would you like this behaviour acted out on your daughter? consensual or otherwise?

weeellll, what i was doing ron was demonstrating that the blokey, "he just wasn't thinking right" argument is a bit more complex than you're making out.
as michael f says, we're talking about guys in positions of power taking advantage of young women. in nichols' case a teenager.
"not great judgement" isn't a defence for the kinds of behaviour we're hearing snippets of.
strip away all the he said she said bullshit surrounding this woeful moment in new zealand history, and you've still got a bunch of disgraceful behaviour exhibited by persons who are supposed to uphold some kind of standards.

I don't think he showed great judgment at the time. But given that the guy was 23 or 24 at the time, I guess many of us can say the same thing,
soooo.... you're defending the alleged rapes based on the guys age, and inability to think things thru?
does this mean that you'd forgive a 23-24 year old who raped your own daughter? or son, for that matter.
i ask because it follows from your reasoning.
your statement also suggests that you acted in a similar way when you were that age. are you suggesting that schollum and shipton should get off because you've acted in such a way yourself?
you might want to think that one over there ron.

i got my copy autographed!
whu-whoo!
a great night. the speeches were moving, the crowd congenial, and the bidding extremely generous (from my perspective near the back.)
i'm looking forward to reading the memoir.
