4 days a week…usually a 1 hour Strength & Conditioning followed by  1 hour of kickboxing.

I love topping. I could imagine bottoming one day, once I'm in a long term relationship with a partner I trust. But topping really turns me on.

Hmmmm I've definitely had some great times toking up or doing edibles and then getting pretty randy. Although mixing up pot with other things is also fun, too.  Ride the waves, bruh

Hmmmm I like sex at parties, hiding from people.  Outside works too.  Inside.  I think I just really like sex. But a little outside sex with the fear of getting caught is definitely a turn on, probably because of all the adrenaline.  #adrenalineslutjunkie

Huge public parks with wooded areas…like Golden Gate park in SF.  Or a few other parks in the city.

Hmmm…I think it made me comfortable with having lots of sex. But it also made me more suspicious of people who didn't get regular testing. Just because I found myself getting tested every 2-3 months while on PreP.

He's quite the cutie.

I find it fascinating that RoyalCrown has to go back 28 years to find something to comment about.

It's pretty obvious that the 5 punks committed a crime.. HOWEVER.. I am taking a look at this case and have some comments that should make RoyalCrown happy. 
If you want, give me the names and ages (and exact birthdates if you can) and I will look up those "fellows" charged in the attacks.  I have found some, but not all of their names and ages.  I have not yet done background checks on them.

REGARDLESS of that… 
The death penalty is stupid.  It costs far more to execute someone than to keep them in prison for a lifetime.  Far too often, people sentenced to death have been later found to be not guilty.  (the man I sometimes refer to would have been executed if the country he is in had the death penalty.. a lot of people are going to pay dearly when it is revealed that not only is he not guilty, but the proof that he is not guilty was always there - but ignored.  The actual killer was a drag queen that lived directly above the accused man.  The drag queen committed suicide a few months after the murder).  Given the choice between a lifetime in prison and a quick painless execution.. it would be far more punishing to keep them in prison.  Dead people feel no pain or remorse.

Some, if not all of the accused Central Park 5 were minors at the time.  suggesting that they should be executed is absurd.  You don't execute minors.  The reasoning part of the human brain is not even fully developed until about 25 years of age.

The victim was not killed.. and executing someone for rape is absurd.  At the MOST, they should castrate a rapist - not execute.

It seems that the accused 5 were OVERCHARGED.  The woman was raped, but since there were several people involved, it is difficult, if not impossible to PROVE guilt unless you find their DNA up in her vag.  They did find DNA of one person whom was not one of the 5 charged.  The only way you could prove rape is if they confessed to doing it themselves.   Even then, I don't think they were sufficiently represented, nor old enough to be making a confession.   Furthermore, even if they did make a legitimate confession, the fact that they made the confession should have resulted in a plea bargain where they would NOT be convicted of rape - otherwise why would anybody confess to anything?  Keep in mind that at least 10% of people who confess to rape only do so as a plea bargain to avoid more severe punishment.

There is a big question of what those five were doing at Central Park at 9:30PM.   I doubt very much they were there to have a picnic or feed the pigeons.

I think the biggest issue with that case is how the punishment for rape is so severe, and the burden of proof is so low.  One simple example of that... a man and woman have sex.  The man dumps the woman after sex, or doesn't call her back, or gave her a fake phone number, or didn't pay her, or gets an STD, or finds out the man has a girlfriend / wife, or gets pregnant, etc.  The woman who was completely consensual at the time, and perhaps even seduced the man, is then pissed off, and decides to file rape charges.  Pretty much no male is safe from that scenario.   There have been countless cases in the news of celebrities charged with rape.. and this happens all the time with non-celebrities as well.

I am not shedding any tears for those 5 thugs.. but they were not treated properly by the judicial system.  Trump's biggest fault has been how much faith he puts in the police and the judicial system.   They should have been charged with lesser crimes, and spent a couple of years in jail.   The compensation they eventually got was grossly excessive.   Four of them got $7.1 million.. the 5th got $12.2 million.

Here are the names and ages of the 5 thugs.. or I should really say three...
Korey Wise            18      1 traffic citation
Raymond Santana  15    41 theft, 90 prostitution
Yusef Salaam         16     4 robbery, 4 rape
Antron McCray       16     6 traffic citations
Kevin Richardson    16    4 Sodomy, 4 robbery, 5 rape, 4 2nd degree murder

Keep in mind that almost all of these charges are BEFORE the Central Park event.  (the traffic citations are after)
The jury were probably not OFFICIALLY made aware of the crimes of Santana, Salaam, McCray, and Richardson because they were juveniles at the time. 
Of the 5.. two seem to be "clean"
Santana is obviously a thief and prostitute - but otherwise clean

Yusef Salaam is a robber who can't keep his dick in his pants..
Kevin Richardson..  that guy truly belongs in prison - it seems he had participated in crimes with Yusef Salaam.

The guy with the lavendar scarf is the prostitute..   :bsex:

I hope RoyalCrown is happy now..

Frederick, I actually am proud of you for once being able to define your opinion, follow through without any deflection, defend that opinion and thoughtfully critique every single instance of the topic of this thread. Thank you. Why was it so hard to do that in the first place? You even pointed out the president's faults. And while I disagree with most of what you said, I do agree they were not treated properly by the justice system which is the case for millions of poor people (regardless of race) in this country.

You're right that this case goes back some 28 years; however, the president was asked while campaigning for president in 2016 does he still feel the same way and he replied that he does. That makes it fair game until he either addresses it again or walks back his claims. I actually am for the death penalty but only when there's undeniable evidence that the person up for execution actually did the horrific crime. I believe the death penalty is a deterrent and I don't think I'll ever change that position. I agree that rape should not be crime punished by death penalty, only capital murder. So there's some disagreement between us there but that's why this is called the Politics & Debate section, so we can debate and not reduce ourselves to childishness.

I just can't thank you enough, sincerely, for finally showing that you can stay on point and make your argument. I respect you for this and I hope to see more of it. We don't have to agree or want the same things, it's always been about defining your argument and debating on the merits of your argument instead of deflecting and derailing without debating. I'm not being sarcastic or anything like that when I say you can help make this forum live up to its name again. So, what do you say? Are you going to help make this forum great again?  :hug:

Frederick staying on point and making coherent arguments.
Like that time Trump successfully read the teleprompter at the State of the Union.

Facebook is the ONLY social networking utility that demands real names.

I don't see what the problem is.  There are plenty of other social networking sites.  Go use one of them.

I have explained this before, but maybe you missed it.  I will give you the short version.
An extremely horrific murder was committed.  I posted comments about it.  My comments were so accurate that hundreds of people decided that I was the murderer.  The more I denied it, the more they were convinced.  I don't even live in the country that the murder took place, nor have I ever been to that country.  The actual murderer got my contact information from the media, and started taunting me.  The person accused and later convicted of the crime was framed.  The murderer thought I was this man who fled the country.  The murderer confessed to me on facebook with details that only the murderer could possibly know.  The murderer continued to message me even after the accused man was apprehended.  I later discovered the true identity of the man who was messaging me.. however by that time, that man committed suicide.  The confession is contained in my Facebook account - which has been disabled.  Ain't that a bitch?    I will stick my neck out and get the man who was framed out of prison,  but so far, I have not had the time, or money to do that.  It will require me dragging my ass to another country which speaks a language that I don't speak.  
Let me conclude with one thing.  I have 100%, irrefutable proof that the murder was committed by at least 2 people.  I have shown my proof to  over 20 people who HATE the man who was convicted, and everyone of them admitted that my evidence proves that there are at least 2 killers.    I even contacted the defense attorney for the falsely convicted man.   I managed to get his cell phone number.  When I contacted him, he acted as if he was very interested, but was in his car at the time and would call me back the next day.  He never called back.  His own lawyer is a fraud who was hired by the government.  The murder had ties to the government of that country and also to China.

So you're gonna tie this point to a reason for not taking down statues of Confederate generals?  Or do you want to complain with a slippery-slop argument?

Hmm…let me stop trolling and just out-right laughing at you, for a moment.  'Cause, in truth I'm just here to get some free points to put towards my ratio.

But explain to me how a statue functions?  It's cultural meaning.  'Cause so far you've compared statues to books, a metaphor I'll just round reject as language works differently than symbols or icons.

Are you old enough to be on this site?  Seriously. 
Apparently you are confusing the word STATUE with STATUTE 
Also, while I have pointed out that you laugh for no reason…   members of this site with active brain cells are laughing themselves silly over your admission that the only reason you are posting your garbage is to get some free points towards your ratio.   I'm not going to explain why that is so funny, and I hope nobody else does either, but you have revealed yourself to be completely naive and a fool.  Keep on working on that ratio Hor.  You will be disappointed though.  The section that would most interest you is gone - SCAT.   Don't even bother searching for SCATUE or SCATUTE.

No, Frederick. I'm actually referring to the symbolic function of a statue. But I can see from your reply that you're not actually interested in debate, you just want to showcase your beliefs. That wouldn't be a problem so much if you weren't so committed to racist language and sentiment, name-calling, misogyny, transphobia…the list goes on and on. But the more you talk, the more we see your true character.  So keep it up, buddy!

Dumb ignorant people are…  dumb and ignorant.  A fait accompli.

The moonbats are currently venting their frustration in not being able to destroy Trump into trying to undermine and destroy the history of the country.  To be blunt, they want to erase the history of the USA prior to about 1960.

This is not new, but is getting ridiculous now.  Those who are ignorant or ignore history are doomed to repeat it's failures and disasters.

I have two examples to share.  In printed media and cartoons - even animated ones, the caricatures and stereotypes of characters were often extremely degrading.  Black people were portrayed either as being monkeys or primitive jungle savages or lazy childish fools.  Japanese were portrayed as being evil, sinister, and lacking souls.  Italians, jews, Germans, muslims all got some stereotypical treatment.  To understand history, you have to know how people were thinking at the time.  If you search on Youtube, you can find some examples of old-timey cartoons that you will NEVER see on television anymore because they are not politically correct.

Also, at the university I attended, they had a large collection of old books from pre-1900 which they kept in glass casee.  Those books and music compositions were mind-bending.   Again, other than some hidden away, untouchable archive - you will not see any of that stuff anymore.

Assuming Trump wins a 2nd term.. that would make the Supreme Court conservative for a long long time.

Yeah, that's an interesting conjecture.  How many popular votes are you expecting him to win by?

Apparently, you still have not figured out that popular votes mean NOTHING!
If they did, Trump would have spent some time and money in California and New York.. and contested the massive fraud there.. and won the popular vote as well.    I guess you think you live in the United State of California.

I would add that after the stupid recounts of votes were done after the election, Trump actually GAINED votes, not lost.  And Trump also picked up 5 more electoral votes because Hillary's electors flipped.  Trump had only 2 flip.

What's that about massive fraud?

The massive fraud in California.. in which 11 million illegal immigrants were able to vote for the first time in a presidential election.  I don't think many of them were Trump voters.

Hahahahahahaha!  Oh, you're hilarious!

I like how you qualify your question with "openly" gay. Because non-heteronormative sex has probably existed for years, but the ability to openly discuss it varies from culture to culture and time period to time period.

It would seem that more and more K-12 schools practice a more tolerant approach to discussions around gender/sex/sexuality. It would be interesting to see the numbers, if they exist. But I've been teaching at a K-12 school for one year (after several years as a graduate student teaching at a well-known public university), and the school does a lot to encourage tolerance. Granted, I live in a very progressive-oriented area and the school goes to great lengths to project diversity in many respects.

Well, under current definitions, anyone who hasn't fucked a man with a vag or chick with a dick is a transphobe.

If you're not a chubby chaser, you're a fatphobe.

If you don't believe that wearing tampons in your beard makes you trans, then you're a transphobe.

If you don't believe that Elliot Cope is really trans (born a girl, but a trans boy who identifies as a girl) then you are a transphobe.

Tell me more about your so called definitions…I'm intrigued.

YES, of course, we can only talk about Trump's bad things.   We can't talk about our former shitty President.   Because feelings.

Oh sure we can talk about feelings.  I'm feeling like you harbor racist sentiment. But it's just a feeling. Heaven knows where it came from.
