When I was 8 years old I sat next to this kid named Chuck. Today he's on the Sex Offenders list

I was browsing the list and checked my home county and saw his name on there. I guess according to republican standards that means I'm probably a Sex Offender too. Mind you, I just sat next to the kid - he wasn't very smart or cute, he was just sitting next to me. I think I was partnered once or twice with a school project because he was sitting next to me. But I never heard from that kid again and I think sometime around 5th grade he was held back a grade. BTW, I was in 2nd grade back in the early 70s.

But this is the kind of 'grasping at straws' that the republicans are doing.

should prevent you from holding public office, ever.

Your youth was no excuse!

happened to be 6 seats in that row and there were 5 of us all sitting together - he was the odd kid out I got stuck sitting next to.

I said that's like you being gay because you work with me. I'm gay therefore you are gay?

How stupid is that?

He stopped and actually said "well, I see your point."

The guilt by really flimsy tangential asssociations is so weak it is laughable.

:D

Years ago we had an acquaintance/friend who was a member of a music group Mr Pip played with. The group met weekly and occasionally socialized at parties. The guy came to our house and seemed like a really nice guy.

The guy has been in prison for a very very long time. I'm not even sure what the crime was but clearly he had a dark side none of us knew about. Guess I'm guilty of something. Don't know what though. By SARAH!'s standard we might as well be the same person.

I was a teenage babysitter. One of the kids I sat for grew up to be a murderer. I guess I'll go turn myself in now.

Who killed over a drug deal gone bad because the actual guy who did the deed moved to town when I was in fifth grade in the 80s. It happened on the mean streets of Clearwater, Kansas... okay actually probably out in a wheatfield. But still, gangsta!

her 4 year old kid.

Clearly, according to Palin standards, we need to keep me away from the children. Won't someone think of the kids?

There was a nutjob who was gung-ho about going into the marines (he went army instead when he couldn't pass the marines' fitness test).

Years later, after college, I ran into him in a grocery store where he was working as a security guard. He claimed he had been dishonorably discharged for trying to run his CO over with a truck, but before that, he had somehow been planted in Cuba to become Castro's bodyguard with the intent of killing him, was Black Ops and said that every 20 feet in the Pentagon, there's a hidden chute in the wall that leads down to furnaces so that you can kill a person in the hall and dump their bodies easily, etc.

Apparently, I have a tenuous grasp on reality.

No pun intended.

class. As far as I know he never got busted for it.

:eyes:

I mean it wasn't as if she couldn't have busted him bigtime. I can only assume she gave her consent. I mean they were both children of the same age.

That's usually why women and girls stay silent, not necessarily consent.

We were all kids ourselves, we didn't know what to think of it.

how might that make her feel? That maybe what was happening wasn't wrong, even if she didn't enjoy it?

I'm not trying to pile on. I'm just pointing out how she might have seen this. Maybe she loved every minute of it. I hope she's OK, wherever she is.

So you know I am old.

in a drug deal gone bad, but the evidence was obtained without a proper warrant and he was acquitted.

I'm screwn.

brutally murdered a young woman a couple of years later. Never saw it coming. Doesn't have much to do with me, but you'd better lock me up, just in case!

who had a close beer drinking, partying, friendship with a local banker. The company I worked for even banked with this bank. This banker was later indicted and sent to prison for fraud, embezzlement, and money laundering within his own small town bank, and the bank eventually closed by the fdic. The guy I worked for was also under investigation, but was "cleared" due to lack of evidence and never even went to trial... though everybody in town knew the two were virtually in bed together.

Now... using the republi:puke: logic, I have ties to the fraudulent banking industry, despite the fact I was just an employee of the man who was cleared, and had nothing to do with the conspiracy.

Guilt by association.

I'm a bad, bad, evil man. :evilgrin:

What were you thinking? Ohh.. i'll just "sit" next to whoever the teacher tells me I have to sit next to.

Well, obviously this is your fault.. good luck on ever winning public office. ;) :sarcasm:

and she wouldn't buy into it - made him sit there. Mrs. Raab was a cruel teacher and probably ruined my chances to be President. I think she was a Rove plant if you ask me!

In junior high and high school, I knew this creepy kid I had to sit next to often (thanks so much for putting the seating charts in alphabetical order, teacher) who was later busted for child molestation.

A couple were downright sadistic - which is related, imo.

I understand wanting to defend Obama against the "birds of a feather" argument, but your example is not really helpful.

I guess that makes me a serial killer. Guess I need to buy a Volkswagen Bug.....

Every night, by Cake, is on my iPod... I guess that makes me a mass murderer. (I love this song.)

I bombed Korea every night.
My engine sang into the salty sky.
I didn't know if I would live or die.
I bombed Korea every night.

I bombed Korea every night.
I bombed Korea every night.
Red flowers bursting down below us.
Those people didn't even know us.
We didn't know if we would live or die.
We didn't know if it was wrong or right.
I bombed Korea every night.

And so I sit here at this bar.
I'm not a hero.
I'm not a movie star.
I've got my beer.
I've got my stories to tell,
But they won't tell you what it's like in hell.
