[QUOTE=Billdo] Actually, you’re correct that I must have been wooshed. All this time I’ve been looking forward to this thread turning into a balanced, well-cited, closely-reasoned discussion of the ethical pros and cons of raping comatose children. I must have missed the point entirely, and I thank you for pointing it out to me. [/QUOTE] Now _that_ was subtle and well played. Bravo. I just thought the “fighting ignorance” was a bit heavy handed if intended as a joke. But, what the hell, you got me. ---

Silly me, I thought the answer to the question _Should small children be raped?_ was settled. Thinking the answer _No!_ was a given, I put this into the wrong forum. I must say however, my position is still _no_. The arguements in favor of child rape have not convinced me, though I am coming around on adult rape. ---

[QUOTE=Lute Skywatcher] Employees can also make a case for violations of _their_ privacy, unfortunately. I recall an episode of “Dr. G” in which she was examining the death of a nursing home patient that turned out to have been beaten to death in his room by an employee. IIRC, the employee’s attorney invoked privacy violations and the cameras were subsequently removed. [/QUOTE] At work several thousand dollars pass through my hands everyday. I am on camera everyplace I go in our store except the bathroom. Is my privacy being violated? :rolleyes: ---

I remember reading a story, some time back, about mentally ill patients being abused by the staff a their long-term home. How did they determine it had been done? A woman in a persistent vegatitive state(PVS) turned up pregnant. You just have to wonder, how much of this sort of thing is really going on? Given human nature, I’m thinking “a lot more than we’re comfortable admitting.” Enjoy, Steven ---

20 seconds, 20 minutes, 20 hours… That’s the beauty of it. Take as long or short time as you like without fear of humiliation in front of your comatose partners. ---

[QUOTE=levdrakon] Well, why don’t they just install video cameras over the beds of anyone who isn’t in a position to grant or deny consent? Oh, yeah. We’re talking hospitals & the medical profession. It’d cost an extra $10,000/day. [/QUOTE] This is probably the only practical solution. It needn’t _have_ to be outrageously pricy. ---

Unusual for Australia, there was [a shooting](http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21931119-2,00.html) in the main CBD of Melbourne, Australia, yesterday. One of his victims died, two others are recovering but may not survive. His name? Christopher Wayne Hudson. ---

A “bikie” (adhering to the Australian tradition of giving a cloying baby-talk nickname to every object in sight). Interesting fact: about 87% of Hells Angel members are named Wayne. Wait a moment for me to update Wikipedia and you can see for yourself!
