No, but if you promise to stop posting for one entire year, then I think any number of us would be willing to fund a distribution of Cheetos to ALL the contestants just as a matter of principle, the same way we are generally willing to pay money for fireworks to celebrate the Fourth of July or other great joyous events. Aside from being spared the constant Samuelsplaining about how technology works, we’d be spared the tales of whoring and brothels. And we still don’t understand why you’re not spending all your time over at Not Even Wrong or whatever the fuck that grandiloquent gathering of like-minded pompous assholes was called, the place you promised to fuck off to because we’re too stupid to appreciate your genius. Or are you _persona non grata_ over there, too?

Freshly returned from his one-month suspension, our most prolific whoremonger [has joined the conversation](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=21799225&postcount=53) to impart his usual wisdom, and in the process utterly discrediting the side that he is trying to support.

No.  
However, if the first series of picks expire without a clear winner (I’ll go for a week after the last date), then we’ll start “Round 2.” Besides, I can afford to re-purchase a fresh pair of bags ‘o’ Cheetos for the winners.

And that’s easily done, of course. We’re dealing with technological genius here. Sammy just\* has to get his brain cryogenically frozen, and then just\* upload it to a suitably capable substrate, such as the IBM Summit OLCF-4 with 250 petabytes of storage and consuming 13 megawatts of power or, in the case of Sammy’s brain specifically, perhaps a Commodore 64 powered by a 9-volt battery would work just as well. Sammy’s brain could then be contained in this environment until medical science could finally deal with whatever the fuck is wrong with him.

–

- “Just”, as always, is equal to the universal standard of 3.762 x 10[sup]9[/sup] self-replicating nanobots, which always figure in Sammy’s scenarios.

I gave a fart. You have not provided links to sources; you have provided a list of websites and buzzwords–these are not cites. You claim to be a degreed “Machine Learning” graduate student, which would have included the skills to include citations (or at least basic links) to support your argument. In this respect, while you have tried, what you have posted is rather useless.

To answer your question, though, I can afford to supply fresh Cheetos to the winner. I will make sure the bags I send to the winner are on this side of their “Best By” date.

This is a direct question: are you saying you are seeing foreign prostitutes at the age of 16?

What an edge case. It in fact would be legal to have a foreign girl, who also works as a prostitute, who is 16 or older, as your girlfriend. At least, by U.S. law and if you’re on foreign soil. And in some U.S. states.

You just can’t pay her. Well, you can give her money, but it can’t explicitly be for sex.

The answer to your question is no, I don’t do that. I brought it up because it both seems hypocritical (something is a federal felony unless money doesn’t change hands? how is that a fair or just law? Who wrote this?!) and an example of how lax U.S. law really is with regards to foreign conduct.

Note that a step-by-step guide as to how to obtain cocaine in Columbia (don’t think it would require many steps) would be 100% legal by U.S. law and the board’s stated rules. So long as you did all the coke and didn’t have any residue on you when you board the plane to go home, assuming you don’t OD.

Isn’t it a violation of US law for US citizens (and resident aliens) to travel to foreign countries to engage in sex with those under the age of 18 regardless of what the local law says?

You would think. [Ages of consent in the United States - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ages_of_consent_in_the_United_States#Federal_laws)

This contains the relevant U.S. code links and trace through it. It isn’t obvious from the reading that the limit isn’t 18 at first. But no, if you somehow manage to charm a 17 year old into a relationship, as creepy as other people might find the idea, it wouldn’t be illegal by U.S. code.

[Yes it is](https://www.justice.gov/criminal-ceos/citizens-guide-us-federal-law-extraterritorial-sexual-exploitation-children) via the DoJ Website on this topic.

> \*[Section 2423(c) of Title 18](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2423), United States Code, prohibits United States citizens or legal permanent residents from traveling from the United States to a foreign country, and while there, raping or **sexually molesting a child** or paying a child for sex. Citizens can be punished under this law even if the conduct they engaged in was legal in the country where it occurred. For example, if an individual traveled to a country that had legalized prostitution, and while they were there they paid a child for sex, that individual could still be convicted under this statute. The penalty for this provision is up to 30 years in prison.
> 
> [Section 2423(b) of Title 18](https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2423), United States Code, is a similar provision. Section 2423(b) makes it a crime for United States citizens or legal permanent residents to travel from the United States to a foreign country with the **intent to engage in illegal sexual conduct with a child such as** rape, **molestation** , or prostitution. The difference between Section 2423(b) and Section 2423(c) is that Section 2423(b) statute requires proof that the defendant had formed his criminal intent at the time he began to travel. The penalty for this offense is also up to 30 years in prison. Finally, Section 2423(d) makes it a crime to be what is known informally as being a “child sex tour operator.” This statute makes it an offense to profit by facilitating the travel of U.S. Citizens or legal permanent residents, knowing that they are traveling for the purpose of engaging in illegal sex with a minor. The penalty for this offense is up to 30 years in prison.\*

If he’s travelling, and not actually penetrating an underage girl (\<18 yrs old), molestation counts against him.

This is the second time in a 24-hour period you used the phrase “edge case.” Looks like you ‘learned’ a new term!

I _ **wildly** _ doubt you’re just platonically hanging around a 16-year old Ukraninan girl, reading “тигр бить”, talking about how cute “Jonathan Taylor-ivich Thoma-ski” is. However, if you are alluding to having a 16 year “girlfriend” overseas while on travel for the ostensible purposes of prostitution, then you are in dangerous waters. . . You’re at least in your twenties, and any “four-year window” defense does not exist if she’s 16. With this inference, and your previous posts of sex tourism, what you are inferring may be molestation at best, statutory rape at worst–whether or not money has changed hands.

IANAL, and I’ll leave this up to any of your Federal District Attorneys. I am confident though, that any background search that pulls your passport travel statistics will see your trips abroad. Good luck getting a job when asked what the travel was for. . .

I doubt this. You’re tied up so far in your own web of lies, that I’ll remind you of something that’s been said about you before: “Everything you say is suspect.” But you’ve admitted that you travel overseas for sex tourism, so your boasting of underage dalliances may not be far from the truth.

But hey, good job supporting human trafficking and Russian organized crime!

You’re backpedaling.

I have category **not** said any of that. And fuck you for the implications. Every sexual partner I have ever had was completely consensual and of legal age. By the way you are picking at straws, if I pointed out that black men appear to commit violent crimes more often than other racial groups, you will instantly say I’m a KKK member. And a Neo-Nazi because I pointed out in a previous thread, I was suspended for, that the Jewish community in Germany was surely genetically intermixed with the dominant group and thus any concept of “blood purity” was wrong. I wonder how I manage to attend both sets of meetings, lol, surely they occur on the same day.

Anyways, fuck you.

You can eat your cheetos. Also fuck you about such “foreign travel”. It was completely fucking legal for me to travel to visit women, who reported their ages as 27 and appeared that way in person, from a particular Ukrainian dating website. For your information they didn’t put out until the end of the time I was there and I wandered the city one night and touts showed me to a brothel. Good times and also completely fucking legal by U.S. law.

Would they give me a top secret clearance to work on nuclear weapons like you claim to have? Well, maybe not, but a regular employer does not even have the legal ability to pull someone’s travel records and won’t do it. They will look at convictions, and I have never been convicted of a crime.
