OK I can be one of those beauty misanthropes, who often doesn't get why some people are considered so stunning when they seem at best just above average. But this woman? She really is a rare beauty. And on top of that she seems down to earth and smart as hell. Yep, life's fair.

Thank you this has been educational, I don't know much about the legal system in Japan.

I just looked at the blurb on Amazon and it does sound really interesting. I'm currently reading a book about a British woman's experience in an Internment Camp in WWII France, so dark doesn't bother me but maybe I'll do a "light" book in between. Thanks for the rec!

They're just jealous the Rolling Stones never wrote a song about THEM.

That's nightmare fuel right there. But a 99% conviction rate for rape? How do they manage that? I'm guessing a LOT of cases just never make it to trial.

Ok fair enough, but do you think her actions were proportionate or appropriate. Make no mistake, I think he's scum, but the celebration of what she did on this thread is horrifying to me to be honest.

I'm on your side with this. The guy did a scummy thing and I don't buy for a second he had no clue how the video made it on the internet. But maiming him is not acceptable and that so many people on this thread think it is, horrifies me. I get being pissed off about how women are abused and marginalized all over…

Well this thread will certainly be grist for the "all feminists are misandrists who are okay with violence against men" MRA mill.

I was raised as a very devout Catholic but I'd describe my self as some sort of Deist/Agnostic something currently. As a result JuniorFlair who is currently 7 is not being raised with any formal religious upbringing. I always said I would and let him make up his mind when he was older, but past Christening him, I am…

I was absolutely terrified they'd get away with it despite all of the evidence. I hope they are put away for the maximum possible. And I hope the victim get's the counseling and support she needs and has a full wonderful life while they rot.

I just said something similar. And I do have a son but he's only 7. Sadly an awful lot of mothers are very "not my little angel" with their boys and blame the "slutty girls" for everything.

What is the purpose of recording stuff like this? I just don't understand. I'm a Gen-Xer and Millennials just seem to have such a different mindset (I know #NotAllMillennials). It seems like from where I'm sitting our society is going backwards with equal rights and not forward. And it's not like college guys were…

He's a misogynistic asshat, and she's a self righteous mean girl. Though looking at her twitter feed her fellow Christians are way more forgiving of her than they'd be of a liberal in the same situation I expect.

Sessue Hayakawa, silent film actor. Purrrr

That's ok I find young Hermann Fegelein hot, this photo is also pre-evil (I think):

You're kinder than me, I figured she was just sorry she was caught.

Why, why, why do people do this? Yes, young people can be fit and pretty. But doing the sexytimes with them is generally unethical and often outright illegal. Not to mention teens are annoying as hell.

Ok I'm an "old" and can remember walking to and from school as well as to the candy store in Queens of the late 1970's. We were taught about "stranger danger" and to look both ways crossing the street. And with the exception of the Etan Patz tragedy, things generally were ok. I know however cannot think of allowing…

His future father in law is the one paying for that website of his and his appeals lawyer.

I've been following the Ched Evans case. He and everyone around him are scumbags. I personally think his soon to be father in law is paying for the victim to be doxxed and harassed.
