Re: Child Abuse Scenario...

I don't see why everyone's panties are all wadded up.

I presented a simple scenario. People answered the question. Overwhelmingly, if the allegations are true, people here believe the teacher should be punished.

That's all I was looking to find out, and I did...

Re: Child Abuse Scenario...

Why, because he asked a question that relates to current events without coming right out and saying it and getting partisanship involved?

Gimmie a break jefe shits weak. The only person who even came out with it WASN"T even steve. Granted most of the time he's a jackass (no offense steve) but that doesn't mean he doesn't have shit to say man.

No, because he obviously had an ulterior motive, and planned on using the poll to prove some point. I don't like being played like that. Had I known the real reason for Steve's poll, I wouldn't have even wasted time contributing to this thread.

whats that????????!!!! SOMEONE PLANNED ON USING A POLL TO PROVE A POINT!!?!?!?!?!? BLASPHEMY!! HERESY!!! EVERYONE GRAB YOUR TORCH AND PITCHFORKS! WE MUST BURN THE WITCH!!!!!

Don't give me that bullshit man. It was a simple question. Should the law be enforced in this situtation? Answer would be yes, in the scenario provided the law should be enforced. Now as others have pointed out the scenario and reality are a bit different, or it at least seems to be in contest. So go pull your panties outta your ass dude. People start threads on here with proving a point in mind. you don't like it you probably shouldn't post here or anywhere else on the internet. Seriously. EVERYONE ALWAYS HAS A MOTIVE. What are you 12? Grow up.



ahhh so we're reading the future now are we? Care to tell me what the winning lottery numbers for texas are today hoss?

And what proof do you have of that? Given the results of the poll and who replied to it (including Knute, a rapid Obama supporter), I certainly had ample opportunity to do that, yet I did not...

How were you "played"?

Had I said it was regarding someone being considered for a position as one of Obama's czars, would you have voted differently?

It's cute that, apprently, you're the one who got "played", and you're laughing at me.

There was no "punch" to be beaten. Anyone even mildly aware of current events would've known the case I was referring to...

I saw it on another forum.

I would say that in your scenario the student tells the teacher that it was an older man, but if you listen to the audio link I provided, Jennings did not say that the boy told him it was an older man. Two very different scenarios.

Any sane person would have know the kid was having sex, but what could he have said? "Sex is bad, mmmmmkay", the kid is 15, he's horny, he's going to have sex. Telling him to wear a condom was the best advice he could have gave him, IMO.

Jennings has every reason to lie. I don't believe his assertion that he wasn't told the relationship was with an "older man"...

The advice Jennings gave the kid is neither here nor there. The fact of the matter is that, if the kid told Jennings that his relationship was with an older man, then Jennings broke the law by not reporting it.

That point cannot be argued...

You're right, but all you've got is your opinion that he told him.

And if the kid didn't indicate that his relationship was with an older man, then Jennings probably should be commended for helping to save a suicidal kid's life.
