If there was a lot of Hollywood folks would be out of the spotlight entirely, and several tv shows would be cancelled.

Oh, they only stopped making console games in the middle of the decade, they continued doing PC til 2008, and their site is still live, with updated versions of all their games available for sale and download. Cool. www.wisdomtreegames.com Lots of non game stuff too, for the Sunday School teacher on here. Ok, I think I'm done now.

The games were http://www.gamefaqs.com/gameboy/585698-exodus-journey-to-the-promised-land and http://www.gamefaqs.com/gameboy/585765-joshua-and-the-battle-of-jericho and were developed by Wisdom Tree, defunct since the middle of last decade. Their other titles, ones I would likely trust given the fun of the two I played, are found here http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/company/72695.html and can probably be found on emulator/rom sites, for those interested.

@Shalmaneser: The games I played a lot were two actually pretty well done puzzle/adventure games. You played Moses in one, and Joshua in the other. As you cleared each stage a piece of trivia came up, about the exodus and book of Joshua respectively. It was a multiple choice question, and you advanced whether you got it right or not. That bit of trivia was the sole actual 'Bible' in the games. The rest of it was just in the setting, more or less.

There have been many Christian video games over the years. Some of them even pretty cool. I used to have a couple on the original game boy that were fun.

Laws against texting and walking are stupid, and invasive of our personal rights. However, laws making you automatically at fault if you get in an accident because of it make absolute sense. Just because you have personal rights doesn't mean that your rights get to interfere with those of others.

Nope, hollywood has no influence over our baby naming. Our girl was named after a ship.

There was one Saturday in Hull too, at or around CVS.

Naaaahhhh..... Just spent 15 min typing this response both to the article as well as to some of the comments.....but nevermind.

GA Tech produces a lot of drones all right.

Hey, I've known several 55-60 yr old women that I'd go after.

Of course, and not defending the guy here, he's 37 now, and was imprisoned in 1999, which means the act probably happened no later than 1998, perhaps even earlier, the way some of these cases drag on and on.

Which means that he was no more than 24, maybe as little as 21-22, (Don't feel like trying to find the actual stats right now), and the girl may have been as much as 15. Which while yes, that should be statutory rape, I don't think should be called child molestation, yet they almost always convict of child molestation along with statutory rape. Something that I disagree with. A 19 year old and a 15 year old is statutory rape, but I don't think that the 15 yr old counts as a child compared to a 19 yr old. But oh well.

So we're not necessarily talking that much younger. Still illegal tho, and still questionably wrong. I say questionably, because some of the longest lasting and most faithful marriages I know are arranged marriages between people of similar ages. Not always the guy being older, but usually.

But none of that excuses his actions today. Tho I do wonder how old the girl was. The biggest problem with the child molestation charge, and with the way this article is written, is that every one automatically thinks of small children, no more than 10 years of age. And yet 'young girl' could easily refer to a 17 year old. After all, in the eyes of many, a 22 yr old is still a 'girl'. Heck, a 32 yr old is to some, just saying.

Again tho, none of that excuses his behavior even if she was 50. He was still being super creepy and following someone off a bus.

I'm fine with that on the predators.
But there are many more cases where a young "couple" doing what young couples do, becomes illegal after his (most often) birthday, dad or mom gets PO'd and the kid is all of the sudden a sex offender for life. While there may should be some punishment, it shouldn't be prison for life. [/quote]

Same with the guy who meets the underage, yet looks of age, girl in a bar. Do we start requiring that people check the ID's of anyone who looks under 40 before doing anything? Granted, I think people should get to know each other first, and not just hook up after meeting in a club, but still.

But hey, I just got the text alert that they caught this guy. At least he's off the street for now.

[quote][b]jaclynb[/b] - An arrest doesn't always mean you are guilty....its up to the court system to decipher that.[/quote]

However, it does put you permanently into the system no matter how innocent you are. And as another said, it puts extreme financial burden on you...burden that is not lessened by being found not guilty.

@Anonymous Dude: You catch her wife in bed with another man and see if you don't consider hurting one of them. (As opposed to catching her with another woman, where you consider....JOINING IN! )

@gooddogmom: You have to forgive @Anonymous Dude: He was never taught that it isn't right to gang up on old(ish) women and point guns at them. Which is quite obvious from his comment, in which he clearly expresses the wish that the thug would be robbers had just killed the woman and taken her money.

[quote][b]cathead96[/b] - GUN CONTROL =CRIME CONTROL [/quote]

This and the picture look more like endorsements to take away all guns. Take away the guns and there won't be any criminals. I realize that that's probably not what you were aiming at tho.

Anyone with a brain knows that people who are going to break the law anyway aren't gonna shirk from owning a gun just because it's against the law.

People killed each other for thousands of years just fine before guns, and they still do so without guns today.

Thru out history, however, the gun is the first weapon to put the average 60 (or even 70 or 80, etc, ) year old grandmother on the same playing field as the average 30 year old thug.

She apparently shot to hurt, not kill. Not sure I blame her. Altho it probably would have been better to just take a frying pan to the 'illegitimate child's' head.

See, I new that I was forgetting something. That's probably been mentioned several times, but I was too hazy to read past the first few comments.

I would be all for the Fair Tax if it also abolished or at least greatly reduced all sales taxes on groceries, certain medical supplies, and perhaps low cost clothing. In other words, the necessities.

Lower income people spend a disproportionate portion of their incomes on these things compared to higher income people.

But apply the full sales tax to boats and cars and houses, etc, and implement a tax discount for houses for people below a certain income level.

Apply the full tax to all the non necessities people have like internet and cable/satellite, etc.

Eliminate the IRS, and scale back our military presence in all these countries that don't want our military there and aren't in an active threat to anyone, and reduce the ridiculous amount of aid we give to all these countries that hate us.

(One of my biggest pet peeves is all the money we spend in foreign aid to countries full of people who go on and on about how evil America is. If they're gonna hate us no matter what we do, screw em. But I digress.)

I think you'd find that the remaining Fair Tax might just equal out to what we have now, It might not be better, but it would be fairer.

I think I missed something, but I've been awake since 5 yesterday morning. Give me time.

@E.J.: I know a vegetarian that uses crock pots a lot. Of course, she uses a lot of the imitation meats you find at places at Earth Fare, but she does stuff without the fake meat too.
