Something really wrong here!

[Neocondriac]

A non political topic. Here in the Tampa Bay area we have had two female teachers charged with sexual improprieties in the last three days. These teachers were involved with girls. I seem to expect more from women. Your thoughts !

[Orrex]

1. Women are just as capable of idiocy as men are (nt)

[MissB]

2. What do you expect, exactly?

There have been plenty of examples over the years of female teachers sexually abusing teenagers.

I'm not sure how this is any different. :shrug:

[soothsayer]

3. Best to let the facts come out. Kids are very savvy about how to

punish adults with accusations these days.

[Walt Starr]

4. Maybe if the compensation for teachers was as high as the value of

the profession, you wouldn't end up with child rapers becoming teachers.

[Metta]

5. I find that one can't generalize about men or women, generally.

Specifically, that's another story. Anything can happen.

[mestup]

6. Why do you expect less of men?

:shrug:

[mmonk]

7. pedophilia

I think is pretty rampant here in "Christian" nation. Sorry, but it seems to be the case.

8. Just goes to show that all professions that come into contact with

children need to be throughly screened,

daycare, churches, sports and coaches, camps ect. teachers are no different in fact they should have the most intense scrutiny on them since they spend an overwhelmingly amount of time with kids. Just my opinion and isn't there another case going right now in Tampa with that female teached seducing her student with car make out trips up to Ocala?

BTW - I live over in the Tarpon Springs area. :hi:

10. Off Topic, I'm in Tarpon Springs also! What are you doing Sat?

www.stpeteforpeace.org is doing a cornering in Palm Harbor. If you have time please come out an join us!

11. 3-5 on Curlew and 19 seems like a good idea, what are the rules

in regards to protesting? Meaning what can I do and can't do so that cops will no hassle me/us or is that par for the course when protesting? Lastly is this the same place that teenager got arrested?

[recoveringrepublican]

16. Well the cops make up laws. please read though

The kid who got "arrested" (he still has no clue really what's going on. He has not received any notice to appear) was NOT blocking traffic (he would have to have a death wish to try to block traffic on 19). Just come. If you don't have time to make a sign, we have plenty. I would offer to carpool, but I'm pretty sure I will be late. If you go, park in the parking lot by the Home Depot/Jo-Ann fabric. If you don't see anyone at first, please wait, I think I'm the only one in the group that wears a freaking watch! lol

Be warned though, I fully expect the Sheriffs to be out in abundance like last time. Last time for about 10 minutes there was only 2 of us and I counted no less than 6 cop cars circling. If you have a video camera please bring it, we can never have enough.

Please come out, if you do ask for Amanda, that's me!

19. thank you for the info and I hope to see you there right now it sounds

good to me, but I must check with my other half to make sure there wasn't something already planned, but I think it looks pretty good right now.

[bicentennial_baby]

9. you expect more from us?

why? and why do you expect less of men? :eyes:

[graywarrior]

12. More important to ask...

why does this shit always happen in Florida? It's endless. And it's always about kids being abused, murdered, kidnapped....Don't tell me it happens other places, I've been here for a few years and every day, or every other day some kid gets fucked up by a wierdo in Florida.

[Connie_Corleone]

13. WTF??

There's bad in every segment of the population.

[raccoon]

14. Why do you expect more from women? nt

[ChairmanAgnostic]

15. Get Thee To a Nunnery! Lots of company in both sexes there.

Testosterone clearly makes men more aggressive and larger, but women are just as capable of being cruel, evil, dangerous or just plain bad.

[leesa]

17. Were the charges real or fantasy? Let us know when they are convicted of

these crimes after a trial.

At any rate, women get stupid too sometimes.

[NNN0LHI]

18. Its all Scooter Libby's fault. Read his book and you will see n/t

[bloom]

20. Statistics:

According to the U.S. Justice Department, 89% of sexual violence is committed by men and 99% of the victims are women.

---

So that leaves 11% sexual violence by women - also mostly with female victims - as you see here.

It might be more likely to be "news" when women do it.
