(jumping back a bit) regarding the sharability of files on ipods....
this appears to be quite popular:
:senuti : its itunes backwards
of course, there are a few people out there who use alternatives to ipods.....

Looks like somebody is going to be fired.
are you assuming that their employer didnt know what they were doing? or in fact that they were not working under instruction?

bldgblog has a cool new post about simulated geology for zoos:
Simulated Environments for AnimalsSo the zoo – like all zoos, of course – will be a simulation intended for animals. Zoos, in other words, are a particularly bizarre form of trans-species communication, attempted on the level of architecture and landscape design.
They're like hieroglyphs that animals inhabit – spaces defined entirely by their ability to refer to something they are not. -

as for argument juice......it's rare that a 'viral' is that funny.

well done damien.
putting myself in the devils advocate chair (just so you dont think i am advocating killing people so you can interview the grieving friends.....): The father didnt seem unhappy to be talking to you (i did watch it at work with the volume way down though....), maybe it was because of your empathetic approach? maybe it can actually be theraputic to talk through such events? to share with the world how cool and driven and passionate your son was......
Here me now: From this moment.......
is that an example of a NEAR-SQUARE diphthong merger ?
and again, well done you. -
thanks Gareth and Andrew,
Chuck really hit me hard with that comment.
Also chuck, what bearing does any individuals parenthood status have on their outlook about such issues? you are aware that many perpertrators of such crimes are parents themselves, arent you? -
chuck,
did I state that I agree with the polices actions? nope, and I am not even going to be drawn into that. I DO know that even if the 'victim' is willing it can be heinously wrong.
my main point is that the scenario is WAY more complex than you painted in your origional post. which was the basis of you somehow calling certain people proxy paedophiles.
If you read that and somehow manage to make a leap of logic to me saying I would allow any 11 year old girl to have a sexual relationship with a 19 year old man. then you seriously need to review your comprehension skills.
I bet you win most of your arguments just due to the fact that you confuse the heck out of people!!!
Does anyone else on this forum support Samuel? If so, please state if you are a parent.
since you asked, did anyone else take my reply the same way as chuck did?

chuck,
that post is a little less nonsensical than your prior one, well done on that point.you do understand that you made some bizzare accusations based on incredible leaps of reason and then used these to justify name calling. and then you signed off with :
All they are capable of is name calling, distortion and out and out lies
you do understand why this weakens your argument?
Samuel, I know basically what is in the article that I linked to above. If you know anything about this case that justify the police inaction and Kiro’s support of the police’s inaction I would appreciate it.
thanks for the link about the abuse. It is certainly not a simple case. I would NOT like to be the person that decides whether to charge, but I must agree that its a complex scenario. If they charge would they have to consider charging the mother? Is the 19-21 year old male of sound mind? It does seem clear that the girl involved would prefer the male to not be charged....is it in HER best interest to not proceed with charges?
im not sure that this opens the doors to allow rampant paedophilia as you seem to be suggesting, and its certainly not as clear cut as your origional post suggested.
Kyle, do you not remember this government floating the idea of lowering the age of sexual consent to 12? After a public outcry they quickly dropped the idea. When you consider the increase in underage prostitutes I think the term paedophile friendly government is justified.
has there really been an increase in the amount of underage prostitution?
and FYI, I think the whole right versus left Paradigm is a pretty weak base for ANY argument. Some humans do fit into that mould, but no way near all. And certainly not here.
-
Kyle, that arrogance of the left never ceases to amaze me. .... this paedophile friendly government ...... helps older males get away with having sex with much younger underage girls. .......
Cindy Kiro supports the police in their inaction and Russell Brown supports Cindy. In my books this makes them little better than paedophiles themselves. ...................It appears a waste of time to trying to engage the left in intelligent debate. All they are capable of is name calling, distortion and out and out lies. .........that is the funniest parody I have read in a while, well done chuck.
It is a joke isnt it? its got to be.
At present there is a situation where a 21 year old man impregnated a 13 year old girl. The sex started when she was 11. The man has admitted this. The police have declined to charge the man and according to the newspaper at the time was still carrying on with a sexual relationship.
I would be surprised if there wasnt a whole lot more about this situation than you know chuck, or arent letting on....
