lol I guess that is probably true.

Did they not have a Romeo and Juliet exception in Georgia at the time? I can't find any reference to when that was added to the law.

I don't know anyone who thinks their partner owes them sex. It is less that they want their partner to have more sex with them than it is they want their partner to want to have more sex with them. I think that is a valid relationship issue, and the right answer is not to just sit there and take even though you…

That makes no sense. It couldn't turn into an expensive legal battle if you have no intent to defend your parental rights. Either they leave, which you said you are cool with, or nothing happens besides maybe they get some satisfaction from knowing who their father is.

Double jeopardy doesn't apply to different jurisdictions. The federal government can charge you for a similar crime if it happens to fall under federal law.

Oh yeah I guess that first sentence was not a good thing to lead with. Again, I blame it on residual sleep fog. I meant that people shouldn't have to defend their backgrounds in order to feel like they can be part of a conversation. Obviously if I jump right into a debate on racism and say, "oh I've never…

Oh sorry, I just woke up. I wasn't talking about you specifically in any of it, I liked your post a lot. It just made me think about how some people use privilege to discount things people say, and how some people are constantly trying to prove that they have less privilege than other people.

Very interesting read, thanks. Why is it necessary to even say this though? I understand how it can be useful to self-examine and think about how certain privileges may have effected your life, but once people start arguing about who is more or less privileged, with the goal to discount their feelings or experiences…

Okay, yeah, good point. Maybe you could have it automatically donated to a charity or something.

As Zimmerman doesn't have any money, they would have to garnish his wages. If I was the family, I don't think I would want the biweekly reminder that my child's murderer got away with just paying a few dollars a month.

No thanks. I'm getting married in August, only inviting 30 people. Doing it in our house, whole thing costing maybe $1000. All the money we save we're spending on redoing our kitchen :-)

Not sure if you've played Mass Effect, but the female Shepard doesn't wear revealing or even that form fitting clothes. She wears tactical armor and space suits.

Why rapists in particular? The right comparison is to say they don't do it to male criminals.

Woah that's awesome.

True, everyone knows that Hitler was a feminist.

The wearing one pair of pants for a week straight gap.

For realz. I am getting married in August and we are doing it in our house. Got a case of champagne, making a big thing of sangria and getting food catered from Whole Foods. Whole thing is like $1000.

Have a kid, don't have a kid, whatever it's your business. Those reasons, however, are mostly BS.

Really confused by that quote. Under normal net worth calculations, if you are worth $8500 then that is including the negative amount from your loans. That means you actually could pay off your loans if you liquidated some of your assets. I'm sure there are a lot of people who are FAR FAR from that, i.e.…

Okay, I am all for socialized medicine and whatnot, government helping out where it is appropriate, but why do they just flat out give you money for having kids? That money is coming directly from people who choose not to have children into the pockets of people who do. Why should you be punished for making the…
