I don't know if we can say for certain it doesn't apply to all black holes... but you're welcome to test the theory out.

Pff, that's the easy way to accomplish the same thing. Live a little! Fly into a black hole!

I'm inclined to agree with you. I do not recall him saying that.

Those are not all covered under the Roddenberry-Abrams Principle. You've described the Roddenberry-Aroeste, Roddenberry-de Lancie, and Roddenberry-Behr Principles!

I think you mean Gary Mitchell...

Interesting... Still can't understand how the front of a building would get ripped off/collapsed, but the rest would stay standing.

For what it's worth: you at 15 and him at 19 would be perfectly legal in Canada. Hell, so long as you are marginally older than 15 now, it wouldn't have just been legal due to a close-in-age exception, but it would have been completely legal, as the age of consent was 14 from the 19th century (at least that's what…

I'm pretty certain he was charged with what would be called our statutory rape law...

Not really, most of these sex crimes carry mandatory minimums, not sure why they did not apply here.

Age of consent was raised from 14 to 16 sometime in the past 4ish years.

Well of course we do! We just don't call it "statutory rape", like how we say indictable offense and summary conviction instead of felony and misdemeanor.

Minimum sentencing is, unfortunately, all over the Criminal Code. Just doing a search through the Code for "a minimum punishment of" found 75 results. Now, a lot of these are hybrid offenses, but even if we cut the number in half, that's still 33 offenses with mandatory minimums.

It's not a knockoff, it's an upgrade.

" This guy spends his time scouring Flickr for "people in real situations," i.e. minors whose parents probably didn't realize what they were getting into by posting their yearbook portraits on Flickr, and shaming them in explicit detail for having boobs."

Yeah, I hate religion too.

Makes things easier... kinda the whole point of religion—why think for yourself when you don't have to.

I feel like the "who are almost always boys" was an unnecessary sexist jab. Do women not need to be told not to rape anyone? Is it less important for them? Is it okay for a woman to rape a man?

Are you saying that the bias facing women is that they are incapable of properly reading a study? ... Because I don't think that's a bias, and it's a bit sexist, though based on this one article alone, it is 100% accurate.

A quality question to an article obviously very lacking in quality if it made such an obvious mistake.

Just out of curiosity, what are your credentials?
