vicarzYet another "anti-gay" preacher busted for sex with "boys."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/26/AR2010092603579.html
What makes this guy interesting to me is his deliberate adherence to the law. I actually support him, at least so far as he should not be prosecuted. His accusers, one of whom revealed all only after being caught burglarizing the mega-church, do not claim any underage sex - only that he engaged in relationships with them when they were underage and became sexual when they were of legal age to consent. I think the dude is like 40 or 50, married with kids, but ... oddly I don't think he should face legal prosecution. If you prosecute him, then any time you interact with someone legally (with or without intent?) and later, when it is legal to have sexual relations, you engage in such - you could be sued for having "set it up" when they were minors!? Bizarre.
However, teachers and preachers do seem like they should be held to a higher standard. You're really not supposed to snog and bang people you're raising. I mean it's nice to know some of those staff _really care_ but uh...wow.
This weekend I encouraged a mother to send her child to catholic school. She had been, and nearly laser-eyed me with death at the very suggestion, but I explained:
"I've been with a lot of catholic educated people, and their kinks are fairly standard. Even from my vicarious experience, guilt is hot and the skirts get a rise. We all know it's a horrible experience full of cruel treatment and unfair judgment. However, you know what fetishes they'll have. Think about it, hippie mom, do you really want to have your kids developing fetishes that are outside the mainstream? Isn't it worth all the suffering just to be a little into skirts and bondage, with occasional sides of guilt-ridden consensual humiliation? You want your kids to be trolling the internet for Japanese and German issues they share? Just allow the abuse so they will be within normal dysfunctional parameters!"
I worked all weekend but I have some great products and I'll be taking time off soon. I'm confused why only 13 hours comp made me so tired all at once.
You know how boring I am? I got all interested in the "new" way to adjust your rear view mirrors to avoid having a blind spot at all!

Get a college degree. This is important.
Don't tell me it's too expensive, or won't make you enough to pay for it, or that you're in a field that doesn't need it. Don't rant about the system and how you're not buying into it, how those that do are sellouts, or how it's just another way of stratifying socioeconomic classes.
I have a whole new reason to get a degree. Everyone who does not is a raging bag of insecurity.
Why? Oh, well I'll tell you. ONCE AGAIN this weekend I found myself involuntarily stuck in a conversation with someone who was doing very well in their life and seemed perfectly well adjusted, that, until she started railing about how she didn't have a degree "but made more than her friends that did." I agreed with her. She ranted again. I told her I didn't think money was a good measure of success anyway. She re-told her pride about her life despite her no-college. And then again. Oh dear god...I cannot count, or have not bothered to count, the number of raving lunatics who CARE FAR MORE THAN I DO that they don't have a college degree.
Do you know how I know they care that they don't have a college degree?
They won't shut up about how much they don't care or are proud of their not-degree.
Privacy issues? Why do they always revolve around who you fuck, how many, whose taken friend you fucked, the related stds, and lack of college. Those seem to be the key issues. Sex and college.
Sex and college are also very related if you live on campus.
So get a college degree. Get it now.
Get any college degree. Get it online. Get it from McU. Get it from community college!
You don't have to use it. You don't have to brag about it. You can wipe your ass with it. You can even lie about it, what it was in, your gpa...just for the love of yourself get a college degree. Only having a college degree releases you from the lifetime of raging oral insecurity you'll bleed over drunken conversations for the rest of your life as you fight the nonexistent army of people judging you for not having a college degree.
Oh - but if you genuinely can't get a college degree; remember, even a PhD in "Theology" is available to anyone - even those without standard accredited college degrees. You can be Dr. SoNso and just always hide the fact it's in reverendology. Just don't be like all the others not-a-doctors (you know, like lawyers who make up bizarre titles to pretend their more important than people with MBAs, esq.) who spend their time trumpeting their title as "Dr."
