All I will say right now is this: don't lend your keys (or anything else) to any "Browncoats" from Texas. XD


Too late.



If you merely got away with having your furniture rearranged, you got off lightly.

HK: many forums have enough sense to protect the honest membership by posting the names of unethical and dishonest persons misusing the forums to further spread their phony 'cred' and reel in other unsuspecting victims.

post so we all shall be safer, as a public service. If, at some point she makes you whole, post she has done so and how long it took.

That's a very good point.
Thanks for your input.

I'ma get my facts in better order first, though, in (futile) hopes of minimizing arguments... ((sigh))

For today's rant, WTF is wrong with people??? Oh, wait, that was yesterday's rant, too..... Specifically, I'm talking about the recent Polanski bullshit. "Hello, I drugged and raped a 13 year old girl, admitted it in court, and fled the country before the court could reneg on the plea agreement and sentence me properly (i.e. the way they would if I wasn't a wealthy, famous film guy). How dare you arrest me now!!" And the protests, including Woody fucking Allen. Yeah. Who cares if he drugged and raped a 13 year old girl, he's a goddamned filmmaker! That, like, makes everything okay, especially cuz other filmmakers say so!

Srsly, WTF.

It's nice and all that the victim has moved on with her life, and I sympathise with how incredibly disruptive this all is for her yet again... but he drugged and raped a 13 year old girl and fled the country to escape sentencing. If it were just another no-name criminal who did that, would all these protesters and filmmakers be screaming to free him?

Christ. This is why I hate people.....

Thank you!!! I get so tired of people saying stuff like well it was a long time ago.. um this is just the one time he got caught. No offender does it just once... trust me he's done it more. I'd say I can't believe the French are defending him, but.. oh yeah they're French.
HUGS HK

This is why I avoid the news most of the time. I really don't need to hear about these horrible things that go on in the world. After a while it just gets too depressing.

Can't disagree, HK. This is one of the reasons why I don't buy into celebrity. Who the fuck cares if you're famous? If you did something wrong you did something wrong, and you have to answer for what you did. Those are the consequences, plain and simple.

People suck sometimes.

and yeah, that's also why I avoid the news as much as possible.

The only reason it is thirty years old is the French would not hand him over. So arguing the time span is foolish. They say he has never done it again. Were not talking shop lifting here, this is raping a thirteen year old. These arguments don't hold water with me.
