I'm not the small minded one. I'm the one looking out for people.

There is no such thing as transgender, except in the rare hermaphroditic case. Sexual preference is one thing. But a biological male can't transform into female, or vicea-versa. He or she can only do incalculable harm to his or her health.

'Transgender' is not the same as 'gay', and the equivalence concerns me. I have two nieces who are gay, but proud young women, very definitely women, and not likely to change. Someone who wants to alter their sex, however, apart from an individual with a real hermaphroditic body, is actually seeking an act of…

Yeah. A few bozos have seen 'Inherit the Wind'.

It takes a lot more words to set the record straight than to ignore it.

See the documentary. She took the drugs willingly. She was under age, which is why he pled to stat rape.

He didn't go free. He pled out to statutory rape, which was all the case was worth, did some county time, and even 90 days at Vacaville, which is the prison intake facility. That was the initial deal. (The girl was sexually experienced. and as to her age . . . this was Hollywood, where there are any number of…

He did do time, and as agreed. The judge then continued to defer sentencing, every time the court liason showed up with a new article in the press. Incredibly poor judicial conduct.

I think we are either at cross purposes, or you have lived a pretty sheltered life. If you think that someone who takes two glasses of champagne at dinner is in the same position as someone who has drunk to the point where she is passed out, it's been a sheltered life.

Suit yourself. Women have been voluntarily getting mildly inebriated in the interest of 'letting themselves go' for a few millennia now. They'll be keenly disappointed.

Depends on the degree of intoxication. Many women who have an erotic inclincation will have a glass of wine or two to free themselves from internal restraint.

Some of you should really see the documentary on the case. Polanski DID actually submit to the criminal justice system, until it became apparent that the trial judge was not going to behave honorably on the court side of what was a decent plea bargain.

So Gorka says.

The case against Affleck is based almost entirely on the ex parte allegations of the other party. It's unwise to go to the bank on that.

Yes it is. Intoxicated to the point of unconsciousness indeed negatives consent.

The very first one in the very first movie. Quite an effect on the big screen!

They may not deserve it, but they've got it.

You've missed the point three times.

I'll take that, despite the weasel word 'ostensibly'.
