Looking for Russian and Ukrainian language learning materials
  • That's not how it works.

    People who can translate between English and Russian have more opportunities because their in such few numbers.

    People who can translate between Spanish and English are a dime a dozen, which is why most people who speak both languages end up working service jobs.

  • Yes, which is why it's more fruitful to say willing or unwilling. You people have misused the word so much it has lost meaning. Congratulations.

    It's dumb how someone can be 'raped' in one jurisdiction, but not raped in another.

    People want to conflate rape with having sex with 17 year olds because it elicits shock value in those who don't know any better.

  • Statutory rape is not the same as having sex with someone against their will.

    We should be saying "willing" or "unwilling" to get this point across without seeming like we're trying to manipulate others.

  • Former Spokane Valley teacher gets no jail time for sex with student
  • Because it wasn't rape.

    Rape is forced sex. He was willing.

    You're just trying to conflate the legal definition of rape with "having sex with someone against their will." They are not the same and never will be.

  • 1 year older, different jurisdiction, yadayadayada.

    The only person saying the kid was 'affected' is his mother. This is clearly a load of crap by people who can't comprehend that a 17 year old male might actually want to have sex with a 25 year old female and not end up regretting it later.

  • Good. Women having sex with teenage males is not the same as men having sex with teenage females.

    It just isn't, although this simple fact will upset a lot of neurotic people.

    Notice how the only people complaining are his mom and classmates? Something tells me he's not going to regret this later like what happens with most females who have sex as teenagers, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.
