"Coming to a neighborhood near you."


Does anyone know the definition of "shunning"?

You sound like a dope-smokin' liberultarian talkin' like that.

That Massachusetts court alraqdy has a list of favorite animals doesn't it?

That's what it's really all about, right?!

[beavus]

Not necessarily a bad idea. Bring some of those recessive phenotypes to surface so we know where they are lurking. You folks need to look at the bright side of consanguineous procreation. And, hey, it worked for the Ptolemies.

"60-year-old Dorchester man accused of having sex with his 15-year-old stepdaughter at least six times"

Ok...so incest....according to their interpretation of the law doesn't work in this case (not that I agree with this idea).....I think plain ol' statutory rape of a minor would suffice....

About 15 years ago in Malibu there was a guy who was convicted of raping a horse. Years later same guy - same crime - different horse. Way beyond my fertile imagination - that

I have no use for this court, but it is a basic tenet of legal theory and practice that criminal statutes are interpreted very strictly: "No crime without a law." The reason for this is obvious - flexible criminal laws would give the government way too much discretion to define criminal conduct after the fact.

The conduct of this disgusting man is not incest according to the law. The legislature should change the law immediately and include stepparents.

In Massachusetts? That would just be a challenge to rule the statutory rape laws unconstitutional.

[BossLady]

Does Mass. have ANY rape laws or has the Kennedy family had them all erased??? The girl obviously didn't have consensual sex with this creep....

[thoughtomator]

It would be even more creepy if it were the same horse

"....now dogs are routinely sodomized in Sweden to the point where they need medical treatment...."

This sounds like something out of a National Lampoon Magazine from about 25 years ago. Life imitates art!! Remind me never to be reincarnated as a Swedish dog.

About 10 years ago, when I was living in Darlington, SC, I noticed an article in the Florence Morning News about a local man who had been arrested for sodomizing a Chihuahua. He had been turned in by a member of his own family, they having evidently warned him, after previous episodes of this behavior, to stop. I've wondered about many aspects of this affair...mostly, "How?"

Is Ted on that list?

Perhaps, but the real point of this article is the hypocrisy of this particular activist court, which rules as they wish to fit their Leftist ideology (irregardless of the law or the will of the people), and then craft the law to fit their ruling. These two recent cases illustrate their bias and disregard for the legal process.

When ruling on the incest issue, they ruled using the strictest interpretation of the law, using semantics to justify their ruling. But when ruling on the homosexual "marriage" issue, they flouted the letter of the laws, instead reading their own words into the Massachusetts Constitution (and then demanding that the legislature rewrite the Constitution to fit the judge's subversive interpretation).

The only thing worse than flexible laws, are "flexible" judges whose rulings are not based on any laws, but rather on their own personal ideologies. That is Judicial Tyranny.

[BossLady]

Exactly! Bend and shape the laws so they get their way....

"and now dogs are routinely sodomized in Sweden"

Hey, just because some Swedish girls are only semi-beautiful, is no reason to insult them by calling them dogs.

The woman's organization, NOW, recently wrote to the US Post Office protesting the sign on the doors of all Post Offices, "No Dogs Allowed." NOW protested that even ugly woman have the right to buy stamps and mail letters.

I had a college buddy who was accepted to medical school in Arkansas. He got a job as the "coroner" for want of any better qualified applicants. The police department responded to a call from a frightened woman. Her husband wasn't in the house and she heard strange noises outside. Upon arrival, the officers noticed a horse tied up to a nearby fence and a step ladder nearby on the ground. After some searching, the officers found her husband. He was bare naked and laying in a heap in a nearby bush. There were two hoof marks in the middle of his chest. He was dead, thus the need to call the coroner. After bagging the body, the STALLION was lead away to the barn.

Bump. And a link to a related (and neglected) similar article by Shelby Steele.
