If an 18-year-old was messing with my 15-year-old daughter, he'd be lucky if all he got was a jail sentence for violating my demand that he stay away from her.

"but face it. kids experiment and have sex. they always have and always will. you sexophobes who don't think so are naive.

or have you forgotten how old you were when you first 'did it'? "

Maybe in your time it is common but it wasn't in my time.

Sexaphobe? LOL! Name calling doesn't add to your credibility.

Most likely your kids are having sex. With a "parent" like you, how could they avoid having sex at a younger age? You expect it.

BTW, years ago people didn't live long so they married at a younger age too.

[nmh]

I understand ... .

Then you have someone like Chef Dajuan in #78. Is it any wonder life and now sex is cheapened? You have people like Chef Dajuan defending sex at an early age.

This idiot forgets ... it's not a matter of not catching gonorrhea, crabs or syphilis - it's aids. Aids is a death sentence and the best this nitwit can do is state they're going to "do it" anyway - not if they know the consequences could cost their life. It never ceases to amaze me ... the arrogant stupidity of people.

When my daughter is 16 then we'll CONSIDER her dating. Allot will depend on her maturity level and if we believe she is a responsible person - able to stand up for what is right - even when labeled a "sexaphobe" by idotic people such as Chef Dajuan .

everyone i was in jail agreed i shouldnt have been in jail ...

Well there you have it;
acquitted by a jury of your peers ...

While you are in college, you might want to consider reading, writing, and respect for lawful authority. It might keep you from a lifetime of disappointments.

Bucchio was 17, and Lambert was two weeks shy of her 14th birthday when they first met at the movies at the Pheasant Lane Mall in Nashua, N.H., in July 2002.

That's all I really needed to know. 17 YO hits on 13 YO. "But her family liked him..."

[don-o]

Is it just me, or has FR become just overrun with sex theads?

[nmh]

Chef Dajuan: "i have. and with me being black i bet my equipment is bigger than yours is."

You: "I generally don't think about other men's "equipment" so I will defer to your expertise."

I nearly choked on my chicken noodle soup. I'm nursing a head cold. So the size of the "equipment" is what matters?
LOL!!!!! Sometimes I have to pinch myself ... and wonder ... geesh! Probaly can't do squat with it but hey, he has more ... LOL!!!!

A nation gone mad.

[iconoclast]

This is not a situation for the courts. I'm surprised at you. Are you losing it?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

exactly.

[Chef Dajuan]

my kids? i'm 17.

[Chef Dajuan]

excuse me? i'm not promiscuous. i prolly know more about std's than you do.

yeah i know the consequences, that's why i'm not sleeping around. besides...i have and have had someone special in my life for a while now.

i don't cheat.

[iconoclast]

I can't rationalize away punishment like you can. The girl would be scarred for life - emotionally.

nmh, are you nuts?

These kids are infatuated with each other. 17 and 14? Big deal. The parents should be able to keep this under control.

God, I'd hate to be a kid in this nutty nation. The worst I ever had to contend with was a father sticking a shotgun out of his bedroom window.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Wow. These two got off easy! When my Dad found out I was foolin' around with my High School Sweetheart (who was my husband 14 months later) we had a "Family Meeting" with MY parents and HIS parents.

Talk about humiliating! Did it work? Nope. We still did whatever we wanted to do because we were "in love." And no, we didn't get knocked up (which was their primary fear; none of them wanted to be Grandparents while still in their 40's.)

Some kids can handle the responsiblity; others can't. But I agree with the Mom above who said the boyfriend is all the more enticing if he's "forbidden fruit."

I invite my teen's friends and girlfriends over here at every opportunity. I'm good at subtle interrogation, because I don't want to be a Grandma in my 40's either! ;)

Yeah, yeah. What goes around comes around.

[iconoclast]

Hi Jaded .... you sure are.

[Chef Dajuan]

p.s. the name-calling was uncalled for. just because i'm young doesn't mean i'm stupid.

you didn't have to be condescending. a lot of you are here i'm finding out. i came to learn and share. not be talked down to.

are you going to chase all the young people away who believe in conservatism and the gop like you all believe in them?

you're not going to live forever, you know. so why chase away the next generation of conservatives?

yeah, i was a little testy today cos i was home with the flu and felt like crap. for that i apologize. also for the sexophobe remark. but there were certainly better and nicer ways for you to set me straight than calling me an idiot and damning in advance kids i don't even have yet.

[iconoclast]

Is it just me, or has FR become just overrun with sex theads?

I dunno, but its sure become infested with other worldly, puritanic, hate mongers.

[don-o]

huh?

I don't know about that but this thread is almost like falling down the rabbit hole. Very bizarre.
