What are your thoughts on the situation with Mary K. Letourneau? Do you think the standards would have been different if the teacher were male and the student female and how?

It was my dream to do one of the hot teachers at my school when I was that age.

Maybe it would help if you linked us to a news article or actually explained what you were talking about?

We don't all read the same papers you do.

Yeah, but we're not talking about a hot teacher. We're talking about Mary Kay LeTourneau. *rimshot*

Are you saying you've never heard of her?????

Head is from Scotland...*rimshot* errr

Ummm, I think it's bullshit that the court won't let them see each other even though he is legal now, but that's totally messed up in the first place.

Some people have said its for punishment, but isnt that what the jail time was?

I dunno, I guess you could argue that they would be raising this kid and they may teach it that what they did was okay, and it may encourage their kid to do the same thing, but that is highly unlikely.

But we don't stop anyone else from teaching their kids the most fucked-up shit (5-year-old neo-nazis, pot-smoking fourth-graders).
