1. LOL. So true. nt

[Dr. Strange]

2. H-how did you know I'd be here today?

:rofl: :rofl:

3. Why nab him now is the question?

I have no sympathy for him, but I want to know what the Swiss are getting from us.

[Dr. Strange]

7. I don't think the Swiss are "getting" anything from us.

We just happened to find out where he was going to be ahead of time, before he left France. So the Justice Department filed the paperwork for extradition. Ironically, though, Polanski's lawyer may have been partially to blame: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=389&topic_id=6673389

16. Polanski has a home in Switzerland and 'visits all the time.' Suddenly he's 'caught.'

Uh-huh.

4. K/R!

Mocking but true.

That fucking pedo "artist" still thinks he should get away with it.

5. Note how the media always say "he had sex with a 13-year-old"

There's no such thing... if an adult has sex with a 13-year-old, it's called rape. But you never hear a news report saying he's been convicted of rape, only of having sex. I guess rape is just too ugly a word for an artist.

6. Except that this cartoonist uses the term, "raped a child." n/t

[JuniperLea]

10. Yeah, that's what makes it so unusual:)

You so rarely see it in print, or hear it spoken... takes a cartoon to tell the truth. Welcome to 21st Century America.

[Codeine]

8. They should be more honest, "forcibly sodomized" or "ass-raped"

are far more accurate than "had sex with."

[JuniperLea]

9. Seriously...

And don't forget "drugged her first."

[proteus_lives]

12. Yeah, it's sickening.

It's rape, black and white, same in all languages. Rape.

[Rage for Order]

13. Yes, but is it, you know, "rape - rape"?

With apologies to rape apologist Whoopie Goldberg

[proteus_lives]

15. I saw that and I have to wonder, what's wrong with her?

Are hollywood people really that different/warped?

[reorg]

14. because that's what it is

You are wrong, it's not called "rape". The legal term in California is "unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor". Other countries and languages also differentiate between rape and other forms of sexual abuse.

[Whisp]

11. I want to do the Fried Green Tomatoes thing to that filth.

boil him up and serve him up to some assholes here that want him to get away with this.
