Return of the Videos!

Friends of the Week: Brian and Dejah (you guys get to be at the top this week due to technical difficulties)

But there almost weren't any more videos ever (or at least for some time) for the reason described in the video below:



And finally another video response! But you might not see it in his responses for a bit because he has to approve it (understandably so because I've seen some really questionable things in his responses before he started making them approve only deals). Anyway, video responses are the best way to YouTube fame (or at least reasonable acknowledgment) and I've been meaning to more for some time, but this is the first one in a while. (The other's still in production as it ran too long and I either have to learn how to edit or make a new one.)

Okay, I got a maunal for those damn U-matic decks at work. Seeing as you're so good at fixing the camera, do you want to come over and give that a shot too? (I'm just proud that I might have narrowed the problem down to something I can figure out. Maybe.)
As for the second half, we knew a guy that actually did check the girl's ID, but it was a fake ID and he ended up going to prison for several years under the Statutory Rape thing because her mother found out and reported them. Yeah. I would've thought the ID thing was a good defense, but it really doesn't matter once you get to court.
I do stand by the sexist theory, however, that older women and older teenage boys shouldn't be as heavily prosecuted as the male on young girl scenarios because, honestly, that's every early teen boy's fantasy. You know they want it and that's all they're talking about once it happens. So, yeah, no sort of "ruined innnocence" there whereas with teenage girls and much older men you could make the emotional argument much more easily.
Another beef of ours is also that so many stores sell products, but they won't sell the accessories or parts to repair said products. We've had this problem many times with coffeemakers when the carafe will crack but we cannot get a replacement without ordering it online and it usually costs (with shipping) about as much as a new coffeepot. Stinking American inflation.

Read the actual story here:

She lied and said she was older. This girl knew what she was doing whereas the guy, no matter how much he wanted sex, did not know how young she was. This is also not the first man she's sent to prison. She deserves jail time and possibly her parents too because they also know she's doing this and haven't made any effort to stop her. I also don't care how much anyone wants it so I can't agree on the gender thing. If the older person did know how young they were, I have no sympathy.

Cherie, I love you. And you're absolutely right.

I love you too, Sarah! Although my ego would like to know what specifically I'm right about. Am I right about cameras, cruel girls, or just everything in general? Because I've tried to convince people of the latter for years but they just don't believe me! ;)

Hi,

Wow, Cherie you are becoming Curtis. I am glad you were able to get the lens in and it to work for you.

As for sex with young teen girls. Well I don't think it is good for anyone. But I can see why many men would be upset if the girl looks older and has a fake ID but he still got put in jail. That would suck.

But just because the guy doesn't know doesn't mean he should just take his chances. There probably is a way to tell if he talks a little more to her instead of rushing to the sex. I know guys like sex but if he takes a little time to talk to the girl then he may save himself a little trouble. She might slip up and say something about her high school friends the name of her school. If the guy would try but most guys don't really care they just want to have sex and don't want any consequences for it. I do think the girl should have consequences too. Then maybe there would be less of them trying to pretend they are older.

Take Care
