"The story said the boy's parents had insisted on a statutory rape charge. Their motive? Before I venture a guess, I would want to know the penalties of the various applicable laws. The story didn't say whether the DA had wanted to charge…"

"Sam, if you are still checking responses to your seven-month-old post.... First, some context. I see many "leftist" policies as soft-headed and many "rightist" policies as hard-hearted. Your analyses above are incomplete enough…"

"Thanks, Joan, I don't remember where I first heard of a one-cell mutation that evolved to eyes. It might have been in a comment about Dawkins' explanation. I don't know who once said, evolution is wasteful. It is; for every mutation…"

"Richard Dawkins demonstrates the evolution of the eye "Creationists and supporters of Intelligent Design like to point to what they call the "irreducible complexity" of the eye as proof of the existence of a designer/creator. In other…"

"Oh dear, the "the law was intended to minimize the number of children on welfare, not protect a child from predatory adults! That needs to be clarified.  "

"Oh, I see what you are saying. Writing, as I did, implied design. Oh my goodness, NO! That is not what I meant. Thank you for catching this. The very last thing I want to convey is a design by a designer. Thank you!"

"More. Warning! Metaphors Ahead! I'm not picking on you, Joan. During twelve years in Catholic schools, nuns and priests had poured so much "concrete" around what they'd planted that the first fractures required a traumatic event.…"

"Uh-oh, Joan, are you saying "our reason for having eyes is to see"? That eyes have a purpose? I would have said, "I see because I have eyes", I hear because I have ears; I breathe and smell because I have a nose, etc. I'll…"

Joan Denoo replied to James Healey's discussion What is the purpose of sex? in the group Conservative Atheists
"Why do we have eyes? To see, of course. There is no value statement in this, it is just fact.  Why do we have ears? To hear.  Why do we have noses? To breathe and smell.  Why do we have mouths? To eat, drink, and breathe.  Why do…"

"Re statutory rape. Some years ago in California, an adult woman raped an underage boy (yes, it sometimes happens). The boy's parents wanted the woman charged with statutory rape. The case went to the state supreme court, which held that the…"

Sam On replied to James Healey's discussion What is the purpose of sex? in the group Conservative Atheists
"The problem is the leftists have made it our business. We have to pay for the offspring of other people's sex because of the welfare/entitlement state. We have to pay to take care of other people's Veneral diseases thanks to…"

Yo, A.T.:
