Yeah but over there its not about being passed out drunk even, they just speak about intoxication which would limit the decision making of the persons involved.

First blush, none. Isn’t that a given? Isn’t that definitional? I see a law that will not prevent a crime, but invite criminal scrutiny into non-crime. Of course the crime is heinous, before someone tortures this post into into an unrecognizable non-sequitur and an example of rape culture. But the heinousness of the crime matters not in examining the efficacy of the law designed to prevent it. What Pandora’s boxes are opened by the statute? I am glad I’m old. Imagine the interviews, testimony and deliberation and the lives at risk. You could acknowledge that while the law will not prevent crime, it will make justice easier to achieve after one. I’ll weigh the language’s ability to deliver justice against its ability to do deliver injustice. I am playing amorous scripts over in my mind and imagining twelve of my peers sorting through them. “She was rather unenthusiastic. You're under arrest.” Haven't we all agreed that so called signals like “she asked for it, she dressed provocatively, she danced seductively” are NOT legitimate defenses? Signals mean nothing until they’re ... absent? Rape is evil. I’m trying to think of an adjective for the well intended nincompoops writing fixed language around the infinite variety of human intimacies and interactions. We have reduced the most human of interaction to a contract in order to gain a protection that doesn’t arise. Ah, progress ... BRB, Gun Free Zones is on the other line ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted September 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 These first three games are huge for the Bills. It doesn't get any easier after those 3, and good teams win games they should. We are better in every aspect than the Giants other than RB , TE, and maybe O-Line.

Never has, never will. This is the story of humanity. Laws, and taxes now that I think of it, are the price we’ve all agreed to pay for the privilege of living in an organized and peaceful society. Yes, I’m well aware the shine is wearing off, mostly because the law is In no wise prepared to deal with money and those few who possess it, but I digress. It’s not as complicated as you make it. Indeed, to argue that a lack of consent for sexual activity/contact can be explained away in certain circumstances based upon nothing more than the perception of the offender deprives the non-consenting party of human agency. Which is and always has been the problem/the point. Minus consent, affirmatively given, sexual contact/activity/jerking it whilst blocking the only exit is a crime. End of. Teach your children this, everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 When this league is bad, it's unbelievably bad. This drive, from the spot on that 3rd down to that delay, is complete trash And Cam Newton is completely broken. Wow is he bad right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and more, I find myself thinking that the emperor has no clothes when I’m watching those games. Also, I have to think Newton’s shoulder is fubar’d.
