Am I the only one who has never used any social media site? - Page 9

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 11-07-2014, 12:02 AM

Nope, you are correct, sir! The R&J laws are designed to protect couples who were together BEFORE one turned 18 while the other is still a "minor". As soon as ONE is of legal age, as long as they were together intimately BEFORE the legal age, no one- even parents- can say boo about it. But they have to prove it. Also, it only applies when BOTH parties were minors when they became intimate. Doesn't work for couples when one is much older. And even if one is still a minor, in some states, they can even still get married, as long as the minor has parental/guardian consent.

Depends on what point in time you hook up with her. From what I've heard she can control her powers now.

Leo and Jester, you two are a gift.

Yeah, I sorta think that all these social sites take away from face to face contact. But it seems to be the way of the world now.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-07-2014, 08:19 AM

Oh, man, you guys are always good for a laugh. Good ones.

*CyberCubed* · 11-07-2014, 11:12 AM

I still can't believe the whole last page was basically approval of underage sex between minors as young as 14.

*plastroncafe* · 11-07-2014, 12:16 PM

I can't believe you put "scare quotes" around the word rape.

*CyberCubed* · 11-07-2014, 12:43 PM

So that's what it means to put a word in quotes? I see that done on other forums and I thought people were just trying to emphasize a word. No idea it meant "scare quotes."

What if I told you this wasn't a persona? What if I told you....this was the real deal?

~~Leo656~~ · 11-07-2014, 01:40 PM

Then everyone suddenly shifts gears and starts talking about how tighter restrictions on who is and isn't allowed to vote is actually a really, really, really good idea after all.

And there's a difference between "approval" of something and saying "Hey man, sh*t happens, that's real-life for ya." Build a bridge and get over it, slick.

Anyways, your view of the world seems highly influenced by movies and cartoons, which is odd, because you apparently are employed which would entail spending lots of time around other people, plus, you're not much younger than I am, which means you can't have grown up as sheltered as you sometimes seem to be unless you were raised by like, Carrie's mom or something.

I'm actually kind of inclined to think that at least most of it really is just You being You. Maybe I'm naive, but doing the math in my head, it would take an amazing amount of effort to keep up this kind of persona and someone would literally need to have NO life in order to do so. I'm gonna go ahead and give you the benefit of the doubt and say you just needed better friends growing up or something. See, I grew up in a house where people kept beer and guns out in the open and watched porn at 4pm, and I clearly turned out Terrific, so my guess is, you just needed more of that kind of thing.

Not that you aren't one of my very favorite people here. I will burn this place to the ground if you ever leave. I will find a way.

I guess it comes from upbringing. My parents were middle class and while we aren't rich or anything, I always got what I wanted as a kid. My parents are still together to this day and never divorced. My father sells insurance and my mother is a school teacher. I finished up College with a BA back in 2008.

Now I'm not going to pretend I have this great job or anything, I probably make far less than a lot of people on this forum do, but I always have extra money to buy whatever I want like games, comics, DVDs, etc.

Also oddly enough, there is not a single gay person in my entire family, and this extends to all my uncles and aunts and cousins and whatnot. My family is very old fashioned given my parents were born in the 60's and we are from a white neighborhood.

~~Leo656~~ · 11-07-2014, 02:38 PM

It's adorable you don't think anyone in your family is gay. I'm pretty sure if there's more than ten people in your family, then statistically there has to be one in there somewhere.

Pretty sure one of my cousins is. Other than that I'm not sure. Most of my family members are chicks, but I'm sure just based on sheer volume that a couple of 'em must "swing". Just because people don't advertise it doesn't mean nothin'. If your family is as conservative as you imply, that'd be all the more reason that if anyone was gay they wouldn't be making noise about it, so you wouldn't know anyway.

*plastroncafe* · 11-07-2014, 03:02 PM

I'm with Leo on this one, just because everyone presents as straight doesn't mean they're all actually straight. And if you're really the same online as you are in person, you'd be the last one they'd tell.

Well literally all my uncles and aunts are married in straight relationships. Most of their kids (my cousins) have girlfriends or are married themselves. Likewise my grandparents and parents never had any homosexual encounters, especially since this is going back to the 40's when that just wasn't done.

I do have some siblings and unless they magically turn gay in a few years, I'm pretty sure they're all straight.

I feel like I might be taking away the magic of Christmas when I tell you this, Cyber, but...they had gay people in the 1940s.

Though while I do applaud you for recognizing the difference between being in a straight relationship and being straight, unless you've talked at length with all of your grandparents...I'm seriously doubting that you know with any degree of certainty that they've never had a same-sex encounter.

My grandparents grew up in the 30's, 40's, and 50's, and they grew up in the typical American household. My grandfather's were in World War II. My grandmother's were typical 1950 housewifes like you see on TV. It was not done back then by them and everything was by the books like clockwork.

Likewise I know for sure my parents never had any same-sex encounters. My mother never had a relationship in general before my father. And my father couldn't be more straight than anything.

Seriously, I have an "old-fashioned" and "by the books" family. No divorces, nobody cheating or having an affair, no homosexual relationships, etc. Its like 1950's America in the modern 2000's.
