It's been quite a few Tuesdays that you got a Range Rover Land Rover, are you storing them in a pole barn somewhere? At the price your getting them for, you could make even more money flipping them.

I could NOT hate so-called "christians" more if I tried.

I think you hit the nail on the head. This is about money, not protecting kids.

It's almost like a these malignant assholes have amnesia that covers their lives from about age 12 to age 40'ish. Did they never do something stupid with their friends that came back later to bite them in the ass? Do ANY of them want to see their own kids go away for 16 years for a sharing a bare tit or a dick pic with their friends on a lark? Do then never go out and go skinny dipping in some pond (or a neighbor's pool after dark)? I sincerely hope the first ones pinned to the wall by this stupid law are their kids. Let's see their supreme moral probity then...when Billy Bob or Betty Sue hears them doors shut and Mommy and Daddy idiot can't see them except visiting day. On the other hand, some of these pricks may see this as a way to avoid paying tuition all together and a decade or more in the slammer means that college fund can get repurposed.

soon, we'll all be in a private prison, unless we can afford to buy our way out of it.

A pregnant eleven year old was forced to marry her rapist, as a way to stop the investigation of said rape. It was in Florida, natch.. (https://mobile.nytimes.com/...

Fun fact:. Many US states have no floor on the age a child can marry wth parental consent. Isn't that a delightful thought? https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

(The text is missing from the pic, not sure how, but the grey states are the ones with no minimum legal age to wed)

Imagine that somebody rapes your eight year old daughter, Jenny. You don't want that good, decent man to be locked up, just because Jenny's​ collarbone was on display, which means she was asking for it.

What to do? I know! Take her to your pastor and have her married to her rapist. If she repents of her trollopy ways then the Sky Wizard will forgive her!

Ugh. I feel sick just saying that sarcastically but, the truth is, this is happening on a daily basis in the US. Roughly ten children per day get married in Texas. (37,000 between 2000-2010).

It's not just Christians either, Haredim (ultra-orthodox Jews) practice it too. The age from which a girl can cause men to "sin" with her sluttitude is three years old. The tempting tots must never be left alone with any man or boy, and must be covered from the neck down.

Teenage girls are often married off, it happens in my country, and the US, Israel, and Canada. The 'Lev Tahor' group was basically the FLDS but dressed entirely in black. They lived in a commune in Canada, and tried to import some child brides.

The US is riddled with hypocrisy and hysterically with regard to sex. A grown man can rape a ten year old as long as he legally owns her, but Becky and Kyle can't send each other pictures without the fear of at least fifteen years behind bars, and a prison welcoming party eager to meet the new inmate, who's just been sent down for "producing" kiddy-porn. Fucking ridiculous.

Sounds just like pence the dense philosophy.

Yeah, let's put teens in prison with skinheads and drug dealers, but let wall street scammers and bankers off with a stern warning "not to do that again." Now go pay your fine, you bad man.

whSo what would be the penalties for biffing the girlfriend on the hood of the chevy, or ford or the trunk lid or any any interior seat or on the grass next to the vehicle or on any flat surface near the vehicle or on the family kitchen counter, dinning table, tv console or in the back yard under the persimmon tree. Or just not wearing any smallclothes and biffing your way across the city parks and play grounds pn any given Saturday or Sunday or in drive in theaters, or walk in theaters. Or the back booth at the malt shop.

How about the choir loft? or in the sacristy after a funeral mass. We both agreed that it was life afirming act

Would all of this have to be listed in the ordinance to be valid? What about retroactive violations? Reenactments? Is there a age frame - for example if we biffed it on the picnic table like my 40 year sweety did last Saturday can we be arrested? Is there a saute of limitations?

Finally, does Wonkette have a legal hot line?

Oh and could you get back soonest -- big birth day celebration for us in two weeks so we want to know waht our options are. And don't tell us to get a room! No romance in that.

I understand where you are going with it. I wasn;t clear on that. To me, making that sort of thing mandatory, with the force of law behind it, is not workable in any way.

If the parent or guardian want to go that route, fine and good, but it shouldn't be the State's job to enforce it.
