If it always went down like that it would be okay. But I doubt it does or will. It is actually very difficult to counter such a comment in a fair debate, but not because its clever. Its not. Its immensely stupid. But when you let immensely stupid people take part in a debate and give them respect, you have totally subverted the premise that debate is based on. That calls for tactics I would rather not see, but how to get and keep the idiots out?

Getting warmer. He should not have been feeling up a woman who had offered no form of consent whatsoever. The facts that he did not know her and that she was sleeping just make it clearer that he did not have consent.
The balance between the sexes is tricky. There is no magic bullet. We can sit back and dream of getting women's permission in words, recorded on an IC recorder for extra safety, but how many women are going to go for that? It doesn't work that way, and frankly, the way people don't understand it gives me pause. Men get falsely accused and hassled, but women are not having any of our bright ideas about verbal consent. This is guy is fairly judged it seems, but if we get the reasons wrong, we will misjudge the next case.

My wife does not agree, but she always wakes up happy! Also, if a woman were mute, how could she consent? You want it on a post-it-note? I am not justifying this guy's crime, I am telling you what his crime actually was. It was not fondling like the headline says. It was touching without consent, implied or otherwise. Do you guys seriously ask women "Can I kiss you?" Then "Can I touch your thigh?" Then "Can I touch you here?" Then "Can we do it?" Come on. Think. Most consent is implied, not spoken. And this guy not neither. So its a crime.

Fondling is not a crime if you have consent or its at least implied (sleeping wife). He did not have consent. That is the crime.

What is amazing Sarge is how the resurgence of the Taliban in 2006, the 50 percent increase in civilian deaths in 2007 and the fact of North and South Waziristan in Pakistan falling to Taliban allies all apparently only qualify as footnotes to Bush in your book. So what is the sudden emergency you speak of?

I think they have a parliamentary system and I think that means irregular elections. Apparently the protestors think elections are overdue. I can't imagine they could possibly be wrong on that unless elections were just held a couple months ago or something. And I doubt there would be this much of a protest if so. I don't think this is anything to do with the King.

Crush the Taliban? Such bravado. Such embarrassing bravado after 9 years of failing to crush the Taliban with or without Karzai. Sarge, your side had plenty of time to deal with this and they failed. Its time for a different approach. High time.

The ease and frequency with which people utter the word "ban" truly gives me pause. I don't like cigarettes either, but all the smokers I know at my workplace have a place to smoke and they smoke there. This solution is fine. The word "ban" has little place in a fair society.
And for those of you all bothered with about cigarette smoke coming out of private cars! You won't believe what comes out the exhaust pipe! Geez. Have a look a the skyline of smokestacks sometime! You might faint!

If both liberals and conservatives did not approve of strong third parties, then who are going to be the members??? Are you saying all these Tea Partiers are in the middle? Also, I think you don't what a liberal is. They tend to be progressive. A true liberal would support more parties. Its conservatives who tend to be disturbed by change. They try to conserve the status quo, and that is why they are dubbed "conservative".

Molenir, some research for you: http://www.teagenius.com/history/the-boston-tea-party.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Act
Yes indeed colonists were not happy with the tax left on tea even if tea was going to be much much cheaper than before thanks to other repealed taxes. For reason of taxation without representation Samuel Adams led protests, BUT HE DID NOT LEAD THE BOSTON TEA PARTY. In fact, all arrows point to the idea that he tried to prevent it. From your link:
There is little doubt the actual perpetrators of the Boston Tea Party were black-marketeers doing nothing more than protecting their trade. Your link says its unknown if Samuel Adams approved or not. But I think the fact that he never took any credit speaks for itself. He didn't lead it. He didn't plan it. He did try to recharacterize it after the fact as damage control and in order to use it, which is a source of some of the confusion today. The recharacterization is, in fact, a lie.
Further, the perpetrators of the Boston Tea Party brought hell down on the colonies, and did this for the sake of short term profits. The name is poorly chosen and American history texts mislead us about the event.

I think there is ample reason to believe that all sides are screwed up in this. I am not taking anyone's side until a lot more comes to light. But if you really want to come down hard on someone, it might be wiser to start with the young boy's real mother and father. Even the boy himself sounds like a real problem.
And I have to ask how often the boy was met by adoptive parents before he was actually given to them? Sounds like not at all, and if so, both sides are stupid.

The right wingers are the embodiment of so many different types of ignorance. One has to wonder what they ate that stunted their mental growth so much.
And here they are wanting to foster even more ignorance by blocking a film the rest of the world has seen! They want to block information so that their POV will be accepted instead of letting the Japanese people form their own opinion. And these morons say they are protecting the country? I think history proves that Japan needs their kind of Kempeitai protection like a bullet in the head!
I am all for letting these ignorants speak. They only prove their own ignorance when they open their mouths. What I am not about to tolerate is their use of force and threats over what is just a damned film. If they had any sense (and they don't) they would watch the film carefully and let everyone know what its "lies" are before they watch. Then Japanese might be angry. How can they be properly angry over a film they never saw??? Like I said, these guys are the very embodiment of ignorance. They do not welcome debate because they know they will lose a fair fight.

One of America's almighty lies it uses to brainwash its citizens with. The Boston Tea party was a direct result of the REPEAL of the tea tax, not a protest against taxes. Why would anyone in their right mind protest the removal of a tax? Because it was black marketeers who destroyed the British tea to protect their black market. The now cheap British tea would have destroyed them. The Boston Tea party was like bootleggers complaining that prohibition had ended, and their reaction was to destroy a liquor store. But I have no doubt that today's history lesson will be quite forgotten by tomorrow and you Americans out there will return to your usual brainwashing.
So anyway, the Tea party was a horrible choice of names for these people.
