Texas Solves All Major Social Problems

And that pharmacy seems to be out of Prozac, too.

My-my-my. :wally

Bless you, for you speak the sad truth.

Bosda, if you can’t come up with anything wittier than “poster x needs a pill, tee hee” then log off, walk away, and register for the first grade. Perhaps in there you’ll find an appreciative audience.

Nocturne, it’s one thing when grown men make sexual overtures towards teenage girls. I agree that it’s disgusting. But you’re ignoring simple biology if you expect men not to be somewhat aroused at the sight of nubile young women shaking their groove things (yeah yeah!) even if they’re below the age of consent. I need not point out that our 16-18 year age of consent in this country is unusually high by world or (especially) historical standards. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, either, because I think the emotional immaturity of a teenager does indeed mean it’s easy for them to be taken advantage of in relationships with older people. But you’re expecting a lot if you think adult men aren’t supposed to be excited by seeing a fifteen or sixteen year old (who is, obviously, physically mature) - especially if you think it becomes acceptable as soon as she hits the age of consent.

Oh, and I’d like to add to the Bosda-bashing (if that’s what we’re doing now) by requesting that he tone down his signature a little. They’re big, often with large type, he attaches them to every post, and frankly, they’ve never yet been amusing or interesting. (Very few sigs are, of course.) I see that you get a lot of enjoyment out of changing it every week or so, Bosda, but it seriously is annoying.

I don’t…but maybe I was thinking about my former high school, where 12 and 13 year olds were also cheerleaders shaking their groove things. :slight_smile: World of difference, to me, between most 12 year olds and most 15 year olds.

But enh. I’ve already decided that I was in the wrong for that reaction, though it still creeps me out just a tiny bit. However, the Bosda thing? Not so much in the wrong.

Though I believe you did overreact (just a bit) to the earlier jokes, your Bosda observation is spot on!

Twelve or thirteen seems odd. I consider spending time around pubescent children something akin to visiting a dentist who’s into S&M on the side, so I don’t know exactly what a girl that age looks like. But they’re not usually physically mature, right? That’s definitely creepy. (And don’t get me wrong, I think obviously leering at teenage girls is majorly inappropriate. Had a high school teacher who did that, but I digress . . . )

I don’t think most of the people in this thread are about to go hanging out at the toy store to pick up chicks any time soon, anyway . . .

Hey, some of these posters might be under the age of consent…

Isn’t fantasizing about the things we can’t have normal for humans?

Granted, high school cheerleaders are more likely than not going to be underage. That age is culturally defined since by the age of 18 most people have reached sexual maturity. I don’t see it being wrong to be enticed by that. However, if you act on those fantasies then, ‘Houston we have a problem’.

Ummm…she’s 20, according to her DOB.
Hmmm…AmyTheBrat …how YOU doin’?

You just described 80% of everybody on here. Yes, Bosda can be annoying at times, but why should he “shut the fuck up”, instead of trying to defend himself? Especially, since he’s doing so in a lighthearted manner, instead of getting his panties in a twist and spewing obscenities like everyone else does, when someone doesn’t agree with them?

Because maybe telling me I need to be on Prozac is a really stupid way of defending himself? I wasn’t aware that it was kind or “light-hearted” to take potshots about being mentally ill.

Or maybe because he has a reputation for being really hysterical and overreacting to criticism? Sure, everyone overreacts sometimes, but he elevates to a fine art.

And for what it’s worth, I don’t always spew obscenities when someone disagrees with me. I may be wrong, but I’d like to think I’ve been pretty even-keeled about the other discussion in this thread, and so have others who have disagreed with my characterization of what’s going on. Everyone’s been pretty mature and reasonable.

But not Bosda, oh no. He had to break out the lame junior-high nonsense, he had to get high-handed in a completely moronic way. I’ve gotten sick of his antics in other threads, and I decided to call him out. I doubt, even if I had been nicer, that he would’ve responded in a more sensible way.

And that is my explanation, without any expletives.

What’re you looking at?

As one who was playing along to the “dirty old man” schtik, sorry if I whooshed you. Lots of schools have dress codes that ban clothing much more conservative than some of the cheerleader uniforms seen today. Indeed, if some of the girls showed up to school wearing similar clothing that was not a “uniform”, they might get sent home (sorry, not gonna dig up cites of school dress codes).

Now stick these girls in skimpy uniforms and give them a dance routine that looks like it was choreographed by a stripper and that’s just fine and dandy, hell 13 is old enough to give head around here. And you are a prude if you see anything wrong with any of this (beware of whoosh, sarcasm is afoot).

Do I think there are more pressing issues?? Of course. Do I think the whole thing has been blown out of proportion, just an attempt to bash Texas in disguise? Yep. Do I like looking at nubile, underage, attractive, scantily clad girls dancing like strippers at high school football games?? Don’t know, I don’t go to high school football games :wink:

As a matter of fact, it is. At least, as an official matter on this board (according to at least one of the moderators), calling someone crazy, or making references to their ‘medication’ is acceptable in GD, if not all the forums.

Nocturne I wasn’t refering to you or your posts. It was a generalization of everyone on the whole message board.

I’m sure Bosda knows mental illness is nothing to laugh at. And I’m willing to bet he knows first hand what happens when someone forgets to take their Prozac. I just don’t understand all the “Bosda Bashing”, Every. Single. Time he participates in a pit thread. There are far worse posters around, but since they blend in with eachother, nobody notices.

Yeah, it’s not like you quoted his post and asked him a direct question about his phrasing. Oh, wait a minute.

You mean a lightheaded manner. Like all his posts. Truly a blathering jackass.

But you’re right. Why be mean? This is the Care Bear Pit.

I admit my spelling can sometimes be bad. But I don’t think anyone, (who bothers to actually read it), would think I was trying to spell Nocturne.
