  1. Re:Missing the Point on State Senator Caught Looking At Porn On Senate Floor · · Score: 1

    Maybe we should drop the whole deal and vote on the back office people... put some term limits on staffers perhaps? Or find some way to make them do more than know the summary...

    I know I wouldn't get too far if someone only gave me summaries of the projects I work on...

    welcome to Wisconsin. If you are under 18, it IS statutory rape.

    you're missing the point still... I live in WI, and the whole big deal isn't about kids having sex because they were told how to.

    It's about that this would either say you can't teach ANYTHING (which would be legal) or if you teach abstinence, you MUST teach safe sex. If a teacher KNOWS that someone under 18 years old is having sex, it is a crime in WI and they are legally compelled to report it. If they do not, then they are in violation of the current law.

    That is what the big deal is about, what is the new law of the day?

  6. Re:Why contradictory? on Wisconsin DA Threatens Arrests Over Sex Ed · · Score: 1

    statutory rape WILL label you as a sex offender. If you are 18, and your girlfriend is 1 week from 18 and you get caught, if her parents want to press charges, even if she does not, then you are then a sex offender.

  7. Re:Translation for the legislative impared. on Wisconsin DA Threatens Arrests Over Sex Ed · · Score: 1

    using the condom isn't the part he's talking about. He is talking about a teacher KNOWING that one or two people under 18 are having sex. THAT is statutory rape in WI, and the teacher knowing it and not reporting it IS a crime.

    Telling them how to is contributing the the delinquency of a minor. That is what he is talking about. He wants the laws to be straightened out, and to NOT conflict.

  8. Let's Be Foolish on Evidence Weakens That China Did the Recent Cyberattacks · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So... Throwing this out there...

      hypothetically could it have been the Human Rights groups in China?

    Yes it would be an odd move as it could put themselves and their friends in quite a bit of danger, but it could also be high reward, if other countries fall for it and do something about it (if they could)

    I know it's bad to think about the victim as possible being the one who set things up, but from time to time we need to at least explore the idea, or you will get played repeatedly.

    Better yet, move to WI!!!

    at the current time, we allow unlicensed OPEN carry.

    It's the way we are get around the pesky no concealed carry law...

    it may not last long, and if a Milwaukee cop sees you, they will take you down first, then make sure you are ok to carry it, but it's legal for now...

  15. Re:What do you bet... on Feds At DefCon Alarmed After RFIDs Scanned · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The criminals are the ones who will carry WITHOUT the permit...

    Your friend's dad was obviously trying to follow the law by not carrying, and the guys upset with him have no concern about the law... which goes back to the whole idea that banning these readers makes no sense, because if a criminal is trying to steal your ID, they know that is already illegal, so why not just throw an illegal reader and an illegal gun on top of it?

    Um no... the gun totin trigger happy people aren't the problem...

    do you think criminals CARE if they are breaking the law? Do you think having a nationwide concealed carry law would make all gang members and others suddenly stop carrying until they got a permit?

    If you do you are sadly mistaken... the ones who are regulated and don't carry are the law abiding people... Typically not the people you need to be worrying about. Typically.

    They did the figures and in many states if you are a single mother with 3+ kids, you are better off not working at all. you make more than $20-$25 an hour this way, plus you don't have the stress of work.

    We need to be responsible for taking care of ourselves, we need to have winners and losers in kids games, we need to have a benefit for working, we DESPERATELY need ways for someone to "get ahead" otherwise why work hard if it doesn't change what you walk away with?
