no, no they aren'tBored Tomatoe said:People aren't very smart, are they...
The really messed up thing about this pedo-hysteria is that when a child is obviously in trouble or lost, it is no longer clear cut if an adult (esp. males, for some reason) will get lynched or in legal trouble for approaching the child and trying to help. I'm not sure if I would take that risk, these days. Sure, it's a lot more actual risk for a kid if the (non-pedo!) potential helpers walk away, or keep their distance and call the cops, but the blame for that risk belongs to the hysterics.SenseOfTumour said:Yeah unfortunately if you're male and so much as make eye contact with a girl under 16 you're a dirty pedo in the eyes of the media.
It's got to the point where, if I saw kids playing, it might make me smile, you know, the basic human link of seeing happy people enjoying simple things, now I end up checking myself, hang on, I'm looking at a child, is their parent thinking I'm a predator?
Watching now. It's funny as hell.In case you're interested, and it was the most complained about British TV show ever until the Jerry Springer Opera showed up, here it is. Warning tho, it's tough to watch, but some of the greatest dark satire I've ever seen, AND they manage to slip the phrase 'roboplegic wrongcock' in, so that gets bonus points.

Didn't you realize? Expectations went out the window like 20 years ago, they're old haps.aprilmarie said:i did. my mom works at a high school that i volunteer time at, i actually got into a debate with a fairly thin girl about how "fat" she was and the definitions of beauty from back before america was explored to now and she claims i don't know anything and i'm a history person....she then asked her history teacher who proved me right and still claims i'm wrong.....snowplow said:I didn't expect 16 yr olds to be that stupid these days.
teenagers are some of the most idiotic beings on the planet these days. i was talking with a teacher the other day about learning now vs 6 years ago when i graduated, kids are all on cell phones all the time or playing with ipods or portable gaming systems so they don't learn anything in class anymore and the teachers have to dumb lessons and tests down so they can pass.
Problem is, now I won't be able to trust Larenxis to stay neutral in the next Escapist Election. When is that, anyway?Labyrinth said:An earlier post stated that this had nothing about the woman's persepctive in it, only that of her parents. That screams tabloid journalism to me, and shoddy at that. I want to know her view before I even consider pointing the "Stupid!" sign at her.
As for the risk of meeting people online, I disagree. I've met a number of Escapists and they're all fun people. I'd like to meet many more at both upcoming Escapisms and wherever else. Online-based relationships are included in that "Make up your own damn mind" attitude. Larenxis and PurpleRain (To my knowledge.) met online, and he's just got back to Sydney after several weeks spent with Larenxis thoroughly enjoying himself and sinking into a love-stupor. It isn't all bad.
Not a clue. It's been tossed around as an idea, but no-one's actually organised it. I would, but I plan to run.Lord Krunk said:Problem is, now I won't be able to trust Larenxis to stay neutral in the next Escapist Election. When is that, anyway?
I feel like organising it myself, if they don't hurry up. It was supposed to start in November!Labyrinth said:Not a clue. It's been tossed around as an idea, but no-one's actually organised it.
