what the heck?!? My parents' sex talk was - "YOU BETTER NOT GET A GIRL PREGNANT because then you're dropping out of school to get a job to provide for that baby. We're not doing that thing where the grandparents take care of teh baby so you can life life consequence free."

THIS. On a scale where stuff like what happened to you is a 10, we had like an 8. And after our baby was born she needed to have a surgery to correct an issue with her intestines. Having a baby is a potentially stressful thing even if you're all in.

I'd say clearly rape is. You're putting your penis into someone. We agree you can't do that unless you're an adult. (That's why we have statutory rape) So that's a big boy crime.

Yeah, I definitely lean in this direction. Especially when This American Life revealed that the reddit guys were actually acting with more restraint than was reported in the media when they were looking for the Boston Bomber bad guys. It's the newspapers that ran with photos that many on reddit weren't yet sure were

Awesome first answer and even better second answer. I LOVE wordplay! I wish I could give your reply more than one star.

Not the same category. Sending a photo of yourself should never make YOU a sex offender. That's like saying you could rape yourself if you masturbate. But I am OK with the boys (or girls) who resend the photo being prosecuted because they're being a-holes with soemthing they were entrusted to.

love your username reference to Tobias!

I'm having a hard time with the cognitive dissonance - aren't usually those who are anti-choice religious? And so they shouldn't be making babies outside marriage?

is that a quote from something?

So what would be your position on someone who said yes to #2 and "all the time" to #3. lol

Between the article and the comments, it appears that the thing we have to decide as a society is if we're cool with Batman or not. The world is a shitty place where people do horrible things and don't face any real consequences. This goes from the Steubenville kids who almost got away with it were it not for

maybe someone in Steubenville had ties to the Feds

Interesting to see if Sodalitas feels the same way about whisteblowing. Sometimes that's illegal, but thanks to it we don't eat rotten food, etc

If you do a "big boy" crime you should get a "big boy" sentence.

just don't post about it on FB you might end up in Jail like that Boston Rapper

Secret Erotica Blog sounds like an awesome name for an album by an indie band from Brooklyn.

Actually it's a great time to note that a lot of that isn't private if someone's targeting you. Like the guys who have been turning on webcams and trading their "slaves" amongst each other.

beauty pageants have always seemed like some relic of the old days to me. Do any Jez readers watch them? Any redeeming factors? Or is it as shallow and stupid as it seems?

excellent point. I mean there's definitely something to be said for context, but when I go to another country it's about seeing how people in another country are the same and different from me. I think if you're at a distance and not using flash and having your camera beep with every photo and other distractions, it
