Noffgar! Spregunky fess!
Considering that the uproar over that marriage derailed Jerry Lee’s career for a decade, it’s hardly that good an illustration of how nonchalant people in the 50s were about adults having sex with teens.
He doesn’t have TIME for this.

It’s a perfectly cromulent word.
Hey, somebody had to post that, right?
:eek: Do you kiss your mother with that mouth? :eek:
Well, I have to catch her first…
So is this actually the root of SA’s complaint/raging psychotic disconnect from any world where the sky is vaguely blue on occasion?
Liberals no longer allow sex with under-age girls?
Serious question.
It’s not too late to turn to the priesthood SA.
Sleeping off the 6 pack of last night?
Just so SA remembers through the fog of dehydration, nausea and headache, here’s the point he promised to address “when he had more time”:
I can’t believe I’m going to have to come to SA’s defense here.
If pressed (and he has time), I’m sure he’ll say we’ve got it all wrong; he’s for women having have sex with underaged boys but not the other way around (men having sex with underage girls). 'Cause the former, that’s just The American Way.

Well, truth be told, my own feelings about that are a bit bass-ackwards. If a man of twenty-five has sex with a girl of fifteen, she is likely a victim. If a woman of twenty five has sex with a boy of fifteen, he got lucky. I’m certainly willing to see the law be equal and non-sexist, but I don’t really feel that way about it.
I hate to say this, SA, but you’re off base with that argument. Fen-phen killed people and permanently damaged a bunch of other people. Wyeth Labs management knew this and deliberately falsified reports to the FDA. I used to work for an attorney who was one of the major litigators against Wyeth, and I’ve seen the videos of Wyeth’s management testifying under oath and admitting this.
No kinda/maybe/sorta here.
But I do agree with you that tobacco and booze need to go away. Nobody benefits from their usage, and sadly, it will take decades of education to lower the demand for them enough to drive those companies out of business.
You think this is not also true of “guvmint”? :eek:
I warned you guys about this! I warned you that if we kept being so mean to Starkers, we were going to hurt his feelings and he wouldn’t be around any more! I told you so, I said we’d better not…what?..I didn’t?..oh.
Well, I was going to, soon as I got back from buying some more crack…
Tobacco, maybe. But let’s meet back here in a few decades and discuss how the “education campaign” to convince people not to drink alcohol is going!
Assuming I can get a donor liver, of course.
Jesus, you’re a moron. This sexual encounter wouldn’t even be illegal in my (very conservative) state (unless the 20 year old was your teacher or step-parent.) And anyway, how can you argue that teen sex is the downfall of society while simultaneously reminiscing fondly about your own unmarried teen sexual encounters? Are you really that divorced from reality?
Except those people whose cardiovascular systems benefit from moderate (1-2 glasses/day) alcohol consumption.
(Granted, there’s ongoing debate about the degree of benefit and/or if the benefits outweigh the potential negative effects on health in other areas.)
Starving Artist – I’m just curious: what would be YOUR reaction if your five-year-old came up to you and asked how babies were made? Would you tell him or her the truth? Or would you say, “you need to wait until you’re older.”
How old is “old enough to ‘deal with’* sex?” Besides, you do realize that if kids don’t learn what sex is from their parents, they’ll definitely hear it from their friends, right? Don’t you think it’s better for kids to hear the facts than garbled nonsense from other kids? Kids aren’t stupid.
:dubious:
Again, most kids I know were more grossed out – mostly because it meant that MY PARENTS DID THAT!!! EEEEEEEWWWWWW!!! And I have a SISTER!!! EEEEW, THEY DID IT TWICE!!! 
Oh wait – my Barbies then turned into sluts! Oh noes!!!
(Ha!!! That amuses me that the king of “self-responsibility” endorses diet pills! I love it!)
*And in SA’s world, “deal with” apparently means “knowing what sex actually IS”
The same way he can call for banning alcohol* while running off to buy a six pack, perhaps?

I think it is high time we all got off SAs lawn.
Dear Mr. President,
There are too many states these days. Please eliminate three.
P.S. I am not a crackpot.
