    The Ignorance of Atheistic Denial of God

    You should put the toilet seat down for her. :p

    Sex Object Test

    They sure are. Come to think of it, I did quite a bit of freelance marketing too, working for a woman. Not once did she advise me to find soft porn images of sexy women to help promote her client's products. At one point she did say that when choosing stock photos, women's happy or peaceful...

    Sex Object Test

    Yeah, that's what is so odd about this whole discussion. It seems some men here are so cushioned from female perspectives in their lives that they confuse male perspectives with objective truth. I'm doing my best to communicate one to them, but it's hard to get through the wall of mansplaining. :D

    Sex Object Test

    That's the thing. They are not selling to men. Women overwhelmingly dominate consumer spending, and yet their business is pursued by a culture of men who mistakenly believe we see ourselves as - or wish we were - sweaty, pouting, simpering tarts who are ready for action at any moment. Either...

    Hey, buddy! I was surprised we weren't already friends. :)

    Teacher threesome scandal

    What personal insults? You said yourself that you are having trouble getting past the fact that in your imagination, this is really hot. I am encouraging you to try to get past that and consider the ethical implications and the consequences of an organization tolerating intimate teacher-student...

    Teacher threesome scandal

    Yes, and when you do unethical things at work, you get what? If you said "fired", you win!

    Teacher threesome scandal

    I haven't said you're Satan, I've made three completely rational points that you refused to address because you apparently can't get over the fact that you find this particular massive lapse in professional judgment sexually arousing. Conflict of interest, abuse of authority, and harming the...

    Teacher threesome scandal

    OK, so if sex between teachers and students is universally disturbing, why not employ only teachers who don't do that, and not teachers who do? How will you keep tuition and enrollment high, and assure that the credentials awarded by your school are respected, if you are willing to employ...

    Ha, I noticed that. Do you want me to delete the quote?

    Teacher threesome scandal

    I think you are grossly underestimating the damage a teacher does by banging his or her students. Not only to their students, but also to their employer. You never answered my question, which wasn't rhetorical: do you know any parent who would knowingly send their kids to a school that tolerates...

    Teacher threesome scandal

    I think you're missing my point entirely. That it is a critical, career ending lapse in professional judgement to bang one's students applies regardless of the age of the teachers or students. It has nothing to do with the age of consent, or statutory rape laws. It's deeply unethical, for many...

    Facts about the frontal Lobes

    Exactly. Thinking Important Thoughts is fun and all, but I also enjoy breathing, walking, ducking when something is careening toward my head, having a heartbeat, digesting my food, etc. And I enjoy love, dreaming, sunshine on my skin, sex, and that upbeat, optimistic, excitable feeling one gets...

    Teacher threesome scandal

    What is your response to the idea that the "crime" in this situation is a major, critical lapse of professional and ethical judgement on the part of a teacher in relation to her students, and nothing to do with the idea of a 24 year old and a 32 year old sleeping with a 16 year old? I have slept...

    Eight Things Your Pastor Will Never Tell You About the Bible

    I didn't read the article until I saw who thought it was rubbish. That was enough to persuade me it must be good, and it was! :D My seminary educated father expressed similar sentiments, though more succinctly. He said there are two versions of Christianity: one for the clergy and another for...

    Teacher threesome scandal

    I was legal at the time. The age of consent used to be 14. I expect he just preferred more mature and experienced women, so he fended me off until I was one. I think cause and consequence is a more effective rehabilitation tool than punishment. You have to admit, being sacked from one's...

    Teacher threesome scandal

    Again, this is not a double standard. The teachers are being prosecuted as aggressively as they would have been if male, and nobody here has defended their behaviour. Boy, do I ever get sick of people comparing actual news stories and public reactions to hypothetical news stories and public...

    I had a hot social studies teacher. Vavoom.
