Not really reported by spud.dups · 2008-11-10 03:53 · Score: 1 · on Press Favored Obama Throughout Campaign

I find what wasn't reported more interesting then what was. Many people still don't even know that Obama has a lawsuit against him in the Supreme Court.

Or that when Obama went to visit his grandmother on Oct 21, he had a lawsuit pending against him in Hawaii.

Maybe we should take a second and read what the Middle East thinks of Obama.

"But we were taken by surprise when our African Kenyan brother [Obama], who is an American national, made statements that shocked all his supporters in the Arab world, in Africa, and in the Islamic world.
"We hope that this is merely an elections 'clearance sale,' as they say in Egypt - in other words, merely an elections lie.

So what was it that Obama lied about to his Arab, African and Islamic brothers?

You all may call me a conspiracy theorist, and maybe I am, but my world is sure a lot more exciting. Even if these clams are extreme, aren't they at least worth looking in to? I mean, if they're false then why would supporters even care that we do?

ageofconsent.com isn't bad, but a bit more of an authoritative list can be found in the Hawaii Age of Consent Task Force Report pages 65-68.

The graphs on those pages indicate very specifically the "pure" age of consent, and the stepping age of consents for different age ranges.

Hawaii licenses already meet all requirements. by Shag · 2005-02-11 11:19 · Score: 1 · on House Approves Electronic ID Cards

In fact, it's already met it for years. The state Department of Transportation web site has sample images available, and it looks like even the old format ones pretty much met the new bill's requirements.

The sample images don't show the anti-counterfeiting measure, but there's a color-shifting sorta holographic overlay. The machine-readable measures - barcode on the older ones, 2-dimensional code on the newer ones - are obvious. And yes, the photos are digital, printed right onto the plastic.

And of course, all the other things that are required by the bill - full name, current address, date of birth, gender - are also fully met by Hawaii's current licenses.

If you can't tell, under the old ones, it was standard to get your Social Security number as your license number. When I first got a state ID card, they were still using the old format, but I was able to "opt out" having my SSN visible (though it may have still been in the bar code). By the time I got my license a few years later (after one from another state expired), they'd switched over to the new style. I still occasionally run into people who look confused when they need my SSN for employment purposes and can't find it on my license, though.

Re:WAS JESUS A GAY NIGGER? YES HE WAS! by JimBobJoe · 2004-01-04 23:07 · Score: 1 · on What You Can't Say

I do not believe in the tenants of NAMBLA, but sadly its existence squashes any discussion of what the real age of consent should be. Fear of PC backlash requires that I say I don't know what the age of consent should be, that I am not for lower it, just that it should be possible to discuss the issue. Ideally it would be based on some testable mental maturity of a minor wishing to enter adulthood.

Interestingly, many cultures seem to set adulthood at 13 (like when youre bar/bat mitzvah happens.) There are countries with an age of consent this low, but not in North America.

Having said that, age of consent is there for parents, not for anyone else. It simply makes them feel better much like anti-tattoing laws (for minors.) Therefore drives to raise it seem to come from parents.

Hawaii recently raised their age of consent from 14 to 16, entirely because of conservative/religious pressure on the state legislature.

Interestingly, they did it as a trial for a few years, made a report, and then made it permanent. The report makes for a very interesting read...as far as I can tell, the task force came to the conclusion that there wasn't any particularly good reason to raise the age of consent to 16, but it didn't seem to harm anything either.

But another reader may examine the report and disagree.
