Duke we had a talk about this on facebook, and a similar case, you will find some people who are going to call you a pedo and such for trying to point out the actual facts of the case, rather then the headlike of RAPE without any more detail.
having read the backstory and such, he was out of line BUT par t of the issue for her was, she was being told she had been taken advantage of and had been raped when, she had consented to the relationship(even if by law she couldnt, dosnt mean she agreed with the law)
No details if this is why she killed herself, and I really dont care....I dont think it could be called RAPE in cases like this, need another word since most people see the word rape and instantly think "violent forced sex" when that was most definitely not the case here....hes a dirty old man, but he didnt rape her by the common definition of the word.
depends on where you are, if you read the back story, more of the world would have no issue with her age and the fact she choose to be in the relationship then have issues with it.
having read the backstory and transcripts, I think if this had anything to do with the suicide it was because she felt bad he got in trouble.
this wasnt "forceable rape" it was statutory rape, meaning that by her state law she wasnt capable of making the choice to have sex, yet in some states/countries she would be considered fully capable of making that choice.
not saying i dont buy it at times but, most bottled water is not even reverse osmosis treated, so, if the water source used has floride or the like, its still there....
I do buy water from a glacier vending unit (refill gallon containers) because the pipes in our house taste bad after some construction work was done, but i could just buy a decent home filter and get same result.....im just lazy enough that 35cents a gallon isnt a big deal....(no floride in our local water, the town is against it!!!)
we need a 4th vote option, something covering stupid and delusional, this guy (Dick Bennett) is about as delusional as they get from what i can tell....
Dick, sorry if this upsets you but, damn man, you couldnt be a more blatant shill if you had tattoos allover your body for the companies/industries you support/work for.
your posts here are enough for me to see you need psychiatric help, reading your stuff about how great broadband in this country is.......just makes it more and more clear how urgently you need that help.....to bad you can pray the stupid away...
unless its a pci rather then pci-e card, or usb rather then internal(actually the option I would choose personally having set both kinds up many times)
Re: Techdirt continually mistakes "loss leader" with "FREE".
blue, what your not getting is that of those "Freeloaders" a large % buy stuff from the in game store, but dont subscribe.
I for one have spent more on games like STO and korean mmo's then I ever have or will on p2p games.
with p2p I feel like i have to play or im wasting money, with f2p i dont, I can take a break, come back at any time and pick it back up, no feeling bad about having paid and not playing.
I infact know a few people who spent 4-8x a monthly sub on f2p games like STO, they see something they want in game, they buy some credits in game and get it.
SWTOR is a bad WoW clone set in the SW universe, thats why they went f2p, subs where plummiting and their profits where dropping like a rock in a vacuum, so they had to do something.
Rift is going f2p, Tera went F2p, face it, the p2p model is dieing/dead, there are very few mmo's or other games that can sustain it, and those the stick to it, enlarge would make more using a freemium model(f2p with subs and cash shop)
and as others pointed out, even players who never buy anything provide a service by just being there.
another service they provide not mentioned is word of mouth AND friends who spend, I have a buddy whos bought me stuff in games we play(f2p mmo's) because i was skint and he wanted to help me out, I have dont the same for others in the past......so f2p players who dont sub are important, even the ones who dont themselves have money to spend on the games.
read the link, Monarchy has more the one form, and in many cases(listed in the link) its the only way a system will turn from absolute monarchy to any other system without violent insurrection.
given the situation in this country (and others like it) the best move would be a slow transition to Constitutional Monarchy rather then trying to go to a full democracy or a democratic republic(as we have here in the states)
you cant really say our system works any better then theirs really, our politicians do whatever is best for themselves and the corporate masters, not whats best for We The People, or the nation as a whole...
DH I normally agree with what you post but in this case, I think your a big short sighted and have this impression that our systems the best system...i really think our systems headed for collapse, its nolonger about democracy its become about fascism/corporatism....and that makes me a sad panda.
honestly the only fix for this fascist bullshit is to get the dumbfucks to vote something other then R or D....but they are so fucking stupid they really think either of the 2 are out for the good of "We the people" rather hten the good of "We the corporations"
Having visited FL, I can tell you, their drivers are INSANE, anything to make it less safe deserves a law suit and possibly criminal charges(they can always trump something up, they do it to us normal people all the time)
and OMFG OOTB posting something that was of any use....*faints*
as to this story, i really hope some citizens sue, also hope somebody sees some gain in criminal charges for those who caused this, they are causing injury and death in the persuet of monetary gain....
she also fits a form of narcisistic personality disorder that an old friend of mines sister has, they act almost identical, shes actually labeled disabled because of it....shes been in "treatment" for over 20years....various doctors give up because you just cant work with her....shes also done a good bit of jail time for pissing off judges....
having worked at mcd's the pies go in runs, sometimes they sell very very well, other times, can sell none for days.
on the other hand shakes/icecream, sell very well even in winter, it was nuts how many people would come in and get a large fry and shake for lunch even...

this was NOT rape as you seem to define it.
