  • Polanski

    Just because an adult is sexually stimulated by the sight or actions of a child does not excuse his actions. Your author attempts to excuse Polanski by saying the thirteen-year-old victim he raped behaved provocatively. So where does this slippery slope end? With the three-year-old tot who has learned that ''flirting'' melts an adult and yields ...

  • Domestic Violence Myth

    A lot of extreme feminist groups would have you believe that most domestic violence is perpetrated by men. Speaking as a woman who has seen it from both sides, been thrown around and seen the guys get smacked around too - not hardly. Women tend to start it. And regardless of who is bleeding, regardless of who started it, the cops arrest the man ...

  • Hire Relatives instead of Talent

    I can't speak for the whole country, but in my area the hiring of relatives over talent is very common. I hear a lot of ''my aunt was a teacher here for 30 years, so I never even had to sub.'' Teachers who get their jobs this way rarely worry about reprimand for poor jobs. When I sub for their classes I find lots of movies on the lesson plans. ...

  • Are we overreacting?

    Puberty being activated is not an indication that girls are ready to look for mates. The girls bodies and minds are not ready to reproduce and they are not prepared to make adult decisions about the risks of sex. False advertising about sexuality is risky. Women who are taught at a young age that men are the whole reason for being are hardly ...

  • Who pulls the trigger? You?

Man the 90's sure ...

  • Agreed

    While it may be true that skimpy fashion has existed for young girls in the past, I would have to say that the fashion industry has taken it beyond what it used to be. The word pre-teen first started in the 60s...but it seems that the fashion industry and the media have hyperbolized that stage of life so much, that people in that age group begin ...
