frezik , in West Texas Pastor Who Used Illegal Donations From Churches to Campaign for Office Is Fined $3,500

This is a town with less than 3,000 people. Why do I keep hearing about shit coming out of there? Like that fertilizer factory explosion.

voracitude , in Brett Favre is asking an appeals court to reinstate his defamation lawsuit against Shannon Sharpe

Can’t sue for defamation when it’s the truth, Bretty-boy. Or, you can, but you won’t win.

Probably. It’s pretty clear the Constitution doesn’t matter anymore. Maybe “I’m A Welfare-Frauding Fraudster And Massive Piece Of Shit” Favre can get a big enough bribe in front of Clarence “I’m A Traitorous Piece Of Shit Grifter Selling My Country To The Highest Bidder” Thomas to win the case.

stoy , in Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma dies at 89

Working in his late 80s…

That is some horrible elder abuse if I have ever seen it.

That snowball you brought to the Senate floor won’t help you now that you’re in hell Jim.

I expected a snowball joke,but you nailed it. Bravo.

I checked the article to see if this was the NULLBULGE folks again, but no, this was reportedly executed by SiegedSec. A different queer furry hacker group.

derpgon ,

I mean, there is never enough gay/furry hacking groups rooting for our rights. Keep it up!

They’re about a decade late on that front

Look, considering these operations are being run by a bunch of rich white dudes who made their fortunes ruining the environment and helping to oppress poor people, a decade late is pretty good for our justice department

By all means, I agree, fight the good fight. Just wish we would’ve fought harder earlier.

Lenny , in Lawyers for megachurch pastor blame 12-year-old for ‘initiating’ sexual contact

“That bank money was begging me to take it, your honor. Sittin’ there, with those tight little bands on; it was askin’ for it!”

shalafi , in Lawyers for megachurch pastor blame 12-year-old for ‘initiating’ sexual contact

Buddy of mine’s 12-yo stepdaughter was flirting with him when they watched movies. He was horrified and confused.

“Dude, she’s just testing her feminine wiles on you since she sees you as safe, kinda testing her attractiveness. Doesn’t even have a clue she’s doing it. Just ignore it or gently push back if she goes too far.”

And of course all was well. Thought it was a cute and funny story.

And we have lawyers trying to slide this defense?! Not to mention the guy who took it seriously and raped a child! I swear to god they used to threaten disbarment over stupid shit like this.

tl;dr Kids do stupid shit when they start puberty. It’s on the adult to see what’s happening.

tpihkal ,

I’m in my late thirties and I have to remind myself when a younger twenty-something girl comes on to me, that is never going to work and I have to be the mature one to shut it down.

stoly ,

lol I like the comment but it comes across a little “look what I can do still”

tpihkal ,

That is not what I meant but I don’t know how to explain it without sounding like a douche.

The point I’m trying to make is that you have to recognize your place in life and use that as reference to help other people around you.

stoly ,

FWIW I understood what you were saying. I am a linguist which means I’m sensitive to differing meanings that the same words and phrases have. I happened to notice it on your comment and thought it was funny.

iAmTheTot ,

I like the comment but comes off a little “look what I can do”.

stoly ,

And that’s an alternative meaning that can be divined from the original statement. It was also funny.

rowrowrowyourboat ,

I get what you’re saying, but let’s chill out on the infantilization of women.

A 20-something-year-old woman doesn’t compare to a 12-year-old.

And maybe the 20-something-year-old woman hitting on you just wants to have fun and is not thinking about anything working out with you. Presume much?

blazeknave ,

How old are you? I agree with your infantilization comment but you’re wrong here. I’m middle aged. A girl in her 20s literally looks like a child to me and the older I get, the more I see it’s fucking gross when older men date women that make them feel like they’re fucking little girls.

nomous ,

You must be looking at the wrong 20yr olds, take a walk around a university campus and tell me they’re kids.

blazeknave ,

And how old are you?

nomous ,

I’m old enough to look at 22yr olds and see them as grown women. Pretty gross to see them as anything less honestly.

Soulg ,

You’re really protecting a lot onto the other guys comments, dude. I’m only 30 and 20yr Olds look like children, both men and women. It has literally nothing to do with disrespect and everything to do perception of others as you age.

That’s why they kept asking you your age. You’re clearly also a child who doesn’t understand it yet.

blazeknave ,

Yeah. If he’s not a kid fucker, he’s a kid.

nomous ,

Says the clown acting like grown women are kids.

otp ,

The original commenter said

that is never going to work and I have to be the mature one to shut it down.

They didn’t say anything about women being or looking like children.

It’s not infantilizing to recognize that, for them, being at significantly different life stages would not be the kind of relationship they want.

blazeknave ,

Anything less? Different isn’t less. I didn’t say less. Distraction.

I hire and mentor women that age. I still think anyone that age, whether their gender, looks like a kid, when you’re older. And I don’t like fucking kids, or adults that look like kids. How gross of me.

So how old are you? Old enough to second guess how you’re going to be received by responding directly?

assassin_aragorn ,

I get what you’re saying. The way I look at it is that it’s different phases of life. At nearly 30 I really can’t relate to someone still in college. Maybe a senior at best. I’d be flattered if they came onto me, but they’re just too young for me. That doesn’t mean they’re like a 12 year old. It just means I want to date someone I can more closely relate to and who’s had experience living and working after college.

There’s a maturity factor too. I was waaaaay less mature back in my early 20s and drank and partied a lot. That’s how it should be, I’m not knocking people for doing that. Being less mature isn’t a bad thing when you’re actually young, and you should have fun while you are. There’s nothing wrong with that.

This is why I can’t fathom 30+ year old men being interested in even 18 or 19 year olds. They’re less mature (again, as they should be!) and at a very different stage in life. It’s creepy to actually want to date them.

Empricorn ,

You’re correct, but keep in mind your example is still legal! The article we are discussing is not.

collapse_already , in Republican Sen. Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma dies at 89

I remember him for blocking aid to Hurricane Sandy victims. When I suggested someone reciprocate and block aid to tornado victims in Oklahoma on reddit, I got down voted to hell.

If I wasn’t so lazy, I’d shit on Imhofe’s grave.

KevonLooney , in Lawyers for megachurch pastor blame 12-year-old for ‘initiating’ sexual contact

After this I don’t think donald trump can continue his campaign. He should step down and allow another Republican to take his place.

Oyml77 ,

He’ll just deny any connection to this guy and his cult members will believe it. Reality, truth, and evidence don’t mean anything to them.

KevonLooney ,

I’m just putting it out there in case the media wants to run the common story: “Internet is exploding with demands for some politician to step down.” And they quote maybe three tweets from randos.

Here it is media; a demand for trump to step down and stop running. The Internet is exploding and voters are demanding it!!!

AbidanYre ,

Many people are calling for trump to step down. The best people.

KevonLooney ,

True I just saw it online today. Hey there it is again!

Everyone’s saying it!

snekerpimp , in Lawyers for megachurch pastor blame 12-year-old for ‘initiating’ sexual contact

As the adult, it is your job, responsibility, nay DUTY to say “NO!!!” And run for the hills!
