Good thing it wasn’t written by Rumple’s wife then. It would have been called “The Circus Tent”, written by the Fat Lady, and housing one of the world’s greatest clowns.

I would venture to say that many of the posters on this board could stand 3,4, maybe even 7 days in a Red Tent.

Why should she be punished? Hell with that logic, I guess cuz should simply get rid of the daughter and avoid having these problems!

Dave, I am serious. myspace looks like a breeding ground for weirdos. It's not a punishment. It's a matter of not letting your daughter interact with pedos. Any man that wants to talk to a girl is a freak. And it appears to be rampant on the net. In any event, I hope he gets reported!

All depends on the purpose. The chick that I mentioned earlier was the only young one that I used to talk to online, but we used to have young interns come by the emu house to learn the video editing business and we'd "mentor" them about sex and guys all the time. We kind of considered it part of the internship. You come to the house, you learn about life, not just video editing. We only had one time where one of the guys got involved with one of the girls and he waited until she graduated before messing around with her.

RumpleForeskin · Post by **RumpleForeskin** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 2:44 pm

When I grew up (in the 80s) there wasn't a lot of blatant messages being sent out by the schools or our parents about the weirdos that surrounded us. Sure, there was the occasional "Don't take candy from strangers" commerical on and probably an episode of Mr. Belvedere where Wesley gets touched inappropriately by his scout leader at camp. Other than that, there just wasn't a whole lot out there to get the message through to kids.

Now, the internet is a whole new ball game and the information alone makes it so damn easy to find people you chat with unless they are intelligent enough to keep that shit on the DL. R-jack is right, you have to make your kids aware of the issues and you have to be direct about it.

It seems television has pushed the envelope every year as to what they can get away with on the local channels. What are you gonna do, shelter your kids from that too? The more they know can't hurt them. I remember a co-worker of mine from my old job let her 10 year old son and 6 year old daughter watch South Park and Family Guy. I'm not saying I condone it but the way the mother looked at it was that she was just exposing them to things they are going to find out anyways when they get a little older.

Taking away the source is retarded. You have to teach your children how to use these things, but be aware and be responsible with these type of outlets. Its pretty fucking clear cut.

R-Jack, there is so much I could say in response, but I take it from your statement you would rather not have my opinion. That's ok with me, because I'm comfortable in the my knowledge of teens and raising healthy, successful kids. As a parent there are always worries and I give any parent credit for dealing with that.

Like I said I use it for poker, keeping up with military friends (since myspace is one of the few forums they are still allowed to use overseas in theater) and friends from high school or college. I also have two ex girl friends (one from college and one from HS) and a couple of T1B posters who it isn't my place to state they use the system here.

My privacy setting are pretty damn strict as well. My account is set to "private", to send me an "add" for being a friend you have to know my primary email addy or my last name, and you have to be 21 to even send me a message. Anyone goes to my account that isn't on my friends list only gets a picture of me and the general applications box bellow my picture and a big black box to the right telling them this is a private account.

There are 185,355,826 accounts on myspace as of 10:57am cst. I'm sure that with nearly 200 million people using the systenm there are a number of deviants and nutcases...

Yeah, that was my point, numbnut.

Not all federal statutes related to crimes against children have an interstate component attached to it. For argument's sake, let's say that every single one of them did have an interstate component that must be satisfied (which they don't). That's why we have task forces assigned with local and state law enforcement who can take the cases to the district attorney and have these scumbags charged at the state level. In conclusion, they can be charged on the federal or state level depending on the circumstances. Which was my point aimed at your interstate comment, moron. The Bureau can take things to the DA's Office. You're aware of that, right?

Maybe if you move past defending teenagers with traffic violations and move up to the big boy court (no pun intended), you might have a clue what the fuck you were talking about.

Nice Second Amendment rant that had absolutely nothing to do with what was going on here. Fucking blowhard.

They can also charge shit that has nothing to do with postal roads or IC or any other power the FF gave them as you just related in your "{n}ot all federal statutes related to crimes against children have an interstate component attached" rant.

Let me type it in big bold letters so that even you can understand it.

My "Yawn" was directly aimed at your ignorant insinuation that we don't get off of our asses to protect children unless there's an interstate component. Try to spin your way out of it anyway that you want but you know damn well that was your intention with that comment. It's not my fault that you ended up looking like a clueless tard.

I'm not sure how "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" played any part in my yawn. You might be the only jerkoff that would've jumped to that conclusion. Props for that.

As for the rest of your post... point me to the substantive part that made a valid point. I see a lot of words that mean nothing, beyond making you look more like the fool that you are.

Anything else, Atticus Shrimp?

Hey fuckhead, you are not SUPPOST to get off your ass unless there is a IC issue or some other issue enumerated in the USC and you would have got that if you were not a ingnant jackbooted thug with a 4th grade education and a 98 IQ.

Try to spin your way out of it anyway that you want but you know damn well that was your intention with that comment.

Actually my point was the opposite. Nice try though.

I'm not sure how "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" played any part in my yawn.

That is because you are a tard. No worries. After someone peppers you in the face with some buckshot for being an ignant jackbooted thug you might come around.

I see a lot of words that mean nothing…

Work your way up to being smarter than a fifth grader and get back to me.

I can only take what TV0 gives me, Y2K. I already poked holes in his dumb ass comments and his only retort is to call me a tard and a 4th grader and not address my points. Why is that? Surely, if he had a valid point he would've stated as much. Had he produced a counterpoint, I would have addressed it. As you can see, he already managed to contradict himself in back to back posts. I stated that not all federal statutes related to crimes against children have an interstate component attached to it. He replies "Gee ya think?" I'm sure that both you and I took that as TV0 saying that he is well aware of that fact. In his very next post, he tells me that I'm not supposed to get off my ass unless there is an interstate component. Which is it? I'm just so confused that I'm not sure I can go back to work.

Professing ignorance of the English language so profound that you cannot even understand a simple declarative sentence or two is pathetic beyond the pale, but I guess if you had any brains you would be a federal prosecutor instead of a jackbooted thug.

I will lay it out in 3rd gradespeak for you so maybe you can get it.
First, there ARE fed laws without an IC component (or other Constitutional basis) but there should not be. These laws are not Constitutional but no one seems to care (or know) that they are not Constitutional. The people that make (Congress), interpret (Justices), and enforce (Jackbooted fucks like you) said laws are making the federal government way more powerful than the FF had intended.

Second, you are too dumb to get that as evidenced by your last post to Y2K and all of your posts to me.

Third, because of jackbooted thugs like you many citizens are arming themselves as a means of protection from a government run amok.

Have fun in the shallow end of the gene pool tard and keep looking over your shoulder because with your stupidity level Darwin is sure to be quick on your heels.

You must be really great in the courtroom.

TV0: I object!

TV0: Becuz' it was ignant and stupid.

TV0: Yes, it's stupid.

TV0: But your Honor, it's stupid.

Settle down a bit, sport. You're taking this a little bit out of the context in which it was meant.

Within the confines of my job, if the Supreme Court has decided that some law or action is constitutional, you better believe that I'll use it within the scope of my job. Why wouldn't I? If I have some problems with the law from a personal standpoint, I'll use my right to vote (just like the rest of you) to try and effect change. It's a job were it might be necessary to separate personal feelings and beliefs from professional one's. I guess if it got too much, I'd search for other employment.

Take a soldier for example. The average man does not want to take another's life. That's his personal belief. If he joins the military and is sent out to war, he may very well have to kill someone. He doesn't want to but it comes with the territory. There are some aspects of my job that I don't particularly enjoy or even 100% agree with but if it's legal, ethical and constitutional - I have no problems doing it. That's not to say that I would not take it up with my superiors or the AUSA that I'm working with or whatever. I may eventually jump when they say jump but I'm not a naive rat following the pied piper. I certainly question authority if the situation warrants it.

The comment was also aimed at our vertically challenged friend in as much that I'd rather have the nine people on the Supreme Court making decisions than him.

Fair enough?

What this all means is that "we the people" don't really trust "you the government", so much so, that many of us feel the need to arm ourselves to protect ourselves not only from direct threats, but from those who purport to protect us from such. I'm pretty sure that's where TVO was coming from with his 2nd amendment comment.

I'm pretty sure that his comment came out of left field and had nothing to do with the topic at hand. It was that time of the month for him to go off on an anti-gov rant. I simply replied to someone that protecting our children is arguably the most important thing that we do. I'm not sure how anyone can see a problem with that but TV0 had to crowbar his way into the conversation and make some snide remark insinuating that we woudn't do jackshit unless it had an interstate component to it. My yawn was aimed at that comment because 1) not all federal statutes regarding crimes against children have an interstate component and 2) we work in task forces which allow us to use the laws on the state's books. I'm not sure where the "right to bear arms shall not be infringed" was at all relevant to the conversation. As I said, he forced that issue to pick a fight. All he has done since it fail to make a valid point and toss around juvenile insults. If that passes for intelligent debate around here nowadays, feel free to prop the little guy up all that you want.

Can you read? I specifically told you that my intent was the opposite of that. I specifically said you WOULD get off your ass even when there was no IC issue (or other Constitutional basis) and that I feel that that is a huge problem with the feds today.

And for your information a soldier takes a different oath than you took.

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

See the difference tard? I bolded it for you not that that will help your little pea brain grasp the magnitude of said difference. You are held to a higher standard more like the oath an officer takes.

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."

Officers (and FBI agents) are suppose to pipe up. Non-Coms are not (with a few exceptions). Get it fucko?

Where was I comparing my oath to a soldier's oath, you moronic twit? You're as fucking dense as a black hole. It was a simple comparison that sometimes people need to set their personal feelings and beliefs aside while performing the duties of their job - whatever that job might entail. I guess I shouldn't have used an example of another "job" that involves a Constitutional oath. Of course, who would've believed that someone would have thought that was the actual comparison. My bad. I broke the golden rule of "know your audience." In this case, a fucking idiot who jumps to conclusions that aren't there. The first thing that popped into my head was the job of a soldier and it wasn't because we both swore an oath to the Constitution.

Would another example work for you? Let me see... let's say that you're very anti-alcohol for whatever reason - straight edge, religious reasons, health reasons, family killed by a drunk driver, whatever the case may be. You decide to take a job as a waiter at a local restaurant that happens to serve alcohol. You could work anywhere but this is the place that you decide on. Now, if you refused to take drink orders for the patrons, odds are you wouldn't be employed long. You otherwise love the job and make good money doing it so you set that one personal belief aside in order to keep said job. You put the overall experience of the job ahead of some of your personal beliefs and opinions. It's worth the sacrifice to you. Hopefully, you take this example at face value. I think that I'm safe because I'm pretty confident that a waiter does not take an oath.

I haven't gone through my post with a fine toothed comb. I'm kind of eating and typing at the same time. There's potential that a typo/misspelling exists. I certainly don't want you to have to use any of those big guns that you have tucked away in your smack arsenal again.

This thread has become a bit long, and a little off topic.
