  Re: Re: Re: My Professors Would Fail The People Who Wrote This Letter.

  many older instructors/prof still allow print encyclopedias in my exp, but dont allow any electronic sources as they either dont trust them OR in even more cases, dont understand computers well enough to check up on the sources.(sadly I am not even joking, my buddy had one recently who cant even use email they have a TA who prints it for them, then types up replies from hand written letters...)
  
  I have had instructors who allows wikipedia as a source but not as the primary source, BUT you could comb threw the sources on the wikipedia artical and link them, and it was fine.
  
  made me laugh..
  
  did have one that would fail if you even mentioned wikipedia in class, but gave me an a+ on a paper I did about wikipedia and the fact that time and time again its been found to be just as if not more reliable then dead tree encyclopedias(both are known to contain errors, dif being wikipedia can be fixed quickly and easily.....paper book cant)

  Re: Re: Re: I wonder if I will read articles here again

  seems quite logical to me.
  
  like a friend of mine who "believes" in his wifes religion because he loves her and he dosnt want her to leave him(and she would if she knew he thought her religion was a bullshit cult)
  
  he pretends to believe, even trys to convense himself he believes, but get a few drinks in him away from her....and down come the pretenses..
  
  believing in a god in order to be rewarded after death or to avoid death....sorry thats not true faith.
  
  kinda like people who believe in science but dont understand a single thing about it....and will believe anything somebody says if they say its science...

  logic is the biggest enemy of faith and religion.
  
  every athiest I know who started christian turned after reading the bible fully, NO christian I know or have known has actually read the thing cover to cover...not a single one...
  
  they have read the "good parts" in bible study's but never the full book..

  Re: Info

  glad to see my gut feeling on this was correct, and what i learned other places as well.
  
  to bad that the persecution had to drive her to kill herself.
  
  I would bet they made threats of her going to jail/prison and such as well, as thats quite common if they cant get you to do what they want.....anything to get what they want, even if its creating a victim.
  
  as to the students.....well, i really doubt it was THAT bad, i mean kids can be cruel but, also tend to have short memories as well, most of the issue Im willing to bet falls back on the DA and the Cops who couldnt just let this go for her sake of nothing else.
  
  and Im betting why they didnt throw the book, weak case as you said, hard to get a conviction when you cant get anybody to testify to somebodies guilt....

  Re: Statutory Rape

  I suggest you read the story behind tims inflamitory blurb, and the other comments here.
  
  1. it wasnt rape like you and he imply.
  
  2. she likely killed herself due to the harm their relationship did to him not because of the relationship itself.
  
  3. this jail time isnt for rape or even statutory rape, its for being kicked out of a treatment program, despite the fact he joined another one and completed treatment and on top of that is considered low risk (not a threat to anybody)
  
  ah the joys of the internet, people jump to conclusions and want a guys guts on a stick(well in this case 2 guys, the judge and the creepy old man who had sex with this girl years ago...)
  
  again, I dont agree with what he did, it wasnt ok, but he has been punished, he will be punished the rest of his life, he didnt force her to have sex with him, he didnt kill her.
  
  He did something really fucking creepy and stupid....but it was not rape no matter what the law may say(actually, if you read the charge, it wasnt even a rape charge...rapes not part of the charge wording at all....)

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  nope, he networks with 2 of the business networking groups our business is part of, he also does anger management, drug/alchohol and other types of counselling/treatment, nice guy really.
  
  part of why he and his partners started the SO treatment was because there was a need for an honest program in the area, most if not all of the others are not about getting people treated but about making 60-85usd a person on "group treatment" that amounts to packet work(that he showed some of us) and sitting around talking 1-3 times a week(at 60-85bucks a time.
  
  do the math
  
  say they do 6 groups a day, 5 days a week, averaging 15 people a group, 2 times a week at 85bucks a head.
  
  thats alot of money, and a good reason to never NEVER let anybody even those who your test say are perfectly normal off without years of "treatment"
  
  and Tim nice attack, I get you dont like or agree with my opinion on this topic...
  
  but I dont agree with your faux news esque blerb on the topic either....it seems you wrote it to fit your very angery view point, intentionally leaving out very important details....like the fact he had completed a treatment program and the sentance wasnt for the "rape" it was for having gotten kicked out of one program for what the judge considered minor violations....or the fact he finished treatment at another location and was/is considered low risk.
  
  I get that you would love nothing more then to see this guys guts on a stick as hes burned at the stake....
  
  but the fact is, most of the world wouldnt call this rape, and your posting about it is VERY misleading, I mean....damn dude when did you get the job working for faux news/msnbs?

  Re: Re: Re: This is sick...

  I would like to think I would, but, Im an "odd duck" in many circles I tend to be more logical then emotional about such things.
  
  rather then flip the fuck out, I would have talked to her, and, unlike this mother I think I would have noticed something was wrong before she offed herself.
  
  I also will never shame my kids regarding their sexual choices, I have seen what that does to a person, and how growing up in a home where sex wasnt anything dirty or to hide...well, Im less worried about any child I have hitting puberty and having sex then I am about making sure they know how to use protection and avoid std's and pregnancy.
  
  sex is a natural part of life, yeah what this guy did was creepy, but then again, we dont know if he or she where the aggressor.....I would take for how the case went down, that it was likely she had alot more culpability then most guys here would like to accept....otherwise.....i think books would have been thrown.
