Just because you didn't get called to go over there...that's beside the point. All soldiers are heroes in my book. (And they should be in every American's eyes.) <br /><br />One of my very best friend's son was just signed to the Naval <br />Academy a few months ago. I went to the signing ceremony and bawled my eyes out, I was so proud of him. Both of my boys are making noises about joining the Army and Marines after college.<br />While I will be scared for them if they do, I will also be incredibnly proud of them.momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-44317793063673438702009-08-15T06:38:24.708-04:002009-08-15T06:38:24.708-04:00Not sure about the Hero bit, I was in during Deser...Not sure about the Hero bit, I was in during Desert Storm.

Lopsided handlebar mustache and usually look like I need a shave.<br /><br />Or<br /><br />B: I am 40 fit, long haired goateed. With the look of the devil.<br /><br />Your choice on how I look.

You are a hero.<br /><br />Second, you didn't tell us you are a hottie! (There really is something about men in uniform that is very sexy.)<br /><br />Third, if a woman of any age is truly ATTRACTED to a man of any age (as long as it's legal), and is dating him based on that attraction, I have absolutely no issue with that. My objection is to women dating men they are not necessarily attracted to, but are mostly in it for for perks....as in choosing an older man BECAUSE he can spend money on them, etc. I really dislike using people, especially in ways that toy with their feelings. <br /><br />The girls I knew who dated much older men did so entirely for financial reasons, and I still say ICK to that. Sounds like the younger girls you know are a bit nicer and more ethical than the ones I saw doing this.momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-41280429077032059192009-08-14T06:50:16.788-04:002009-08-14T06:50:16.788-04:00Navy.Navy.CuriousDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344420270102218927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-33309114645703163492009-08-14T06:00:48.462-04:002009-08-14T06:00:48.462-04:00CD

Not like they were going after guys who were slobs. These were not older overweight guys, ugly guys by any stretch of the imagination. Anyone remember right after Desert Storm when they had the parades in NYC? I was there and OMG these girls were coming out of the wood work and throwing themselves on us. Most of them had older boyfriends. The girls were a pretty mercenary bunch. They wanted Rich, good looking and out going men to take care of them. The sailors marines and soldiers were useful for a night out to party. We were after all heroes then.CuriousDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344420270102218927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-36031760552441202822009-08-13T21:21:03.051-04:002009-08-13T21:21:03.051-04:00Although Curious dad,

Unless you are one of the LDS sects that practice under age Polygamy. <br />And no you do NOT have to chase them, which is one of the biggest crocks I see people spewing, very rarely does the guy start persuing the girl from the get go, usually he gets a signal from her that she is willing to be persued. Granted there are scum bags who do persue and there are scum who once they know they girls is willing will do what they can to get in her.<br />I know in my neck of the woods to many 16-17 year olds chase after the 19-27 year olds because they are more "mature" (read better able to give a good line too her), over all better looking then the boys they are in high school with (hey did we not have a discussion about this on the pedophile teacher thread?), treat them at least at first better and can take them out to something besides, behind the local high school.<br />I know of a group of girls in NYC that are or were under 19, at the time they were ranging from 15-17 when I met them, that actually hunt for older men to take them out. Their reasoning is these guys have money are willing to show them a good time, and will not cop a tantrum like the boys in high school will if their ego gets put out. They can easily get in the high end clubs on these guys arms and just party with their friends while in the club as long as they walk back out with the guy they came in with.CuriousDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344420270102218927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-30393242873926596372009-08-13T12:19:10.530-04:002009-08-13T12:19:10.530-04:00I am curious as to where the mother of this teen i...I am curious as to where the mother of this teen in the first story was. Secondly, where was the father of this little boy? Did the mother know of her daughter dating a man who was 27? Isn't dating or having sex with someone under 18 considered statuotory rape? At least in Wisconin it is.<br /><br />And with this man being 27, he wasn't charged with rape or sexual assualt of a child? <br /><br />My ex fiance had me pick up a young lady who he claimed as his "cousin". Said "cousin" didn't talk much when I drove her to his house. He didn't say much either. After I dropped them off, I had a sinking feeling that something was up. A few hours later, "cousin" called me and asked me if I wanted to go out with her and my fiance. I cussed her out, telling her she may have had him, but he was still my man and it was my house. I never did see her again. The girl he cheated on me with was 16-17 years old. My ex would love Utah, since he loves young girls. That's why I am not with him anymore.MissDeeHasTeethPullednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-12408146713379106492009-08-11T19:25:23.924-04:002009-08-11T19:25:23.924-04:00Well...everybody needs a trademark, right? heheheWell...everybody needs a trademark, right? hehehenot moomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-700334171818639982009-08-11T19:05:55.807-04:002009-08-11T19:05:55.807-04:00The length of the response told me that it was Mom...The length of the response told me that it was Mom and not Moom!

I guess, not having been on the jury and not having heard the trial, I am going to have to trust that they made the best decision they could with the information given to them. There must have been evidence implicating the mother specifically, otherwise the police would have been all over the boyfriend...who would be the first typical suspect in such a case. They had no reason to try to pin it on the mom instead of him...unless there was some evidence. <br />Think of the jello story. One of them took hom to get jello and then all of a sudden he is fatally injured within about a minute. Probably the mom would have been the one to take him to get a snack. And it sounds like the mom admitted to being the one with him when he died. (Remember the "seizure?")<br />And if it had been the boyfriend and she walked out to the kitchen to find he had killed her child and her first thought was of his immigration status, rather than the fact that her child was dead, she's a complete heartless idiot. <br /><br />It would also mean she participated in a crime directly related to the murder of her child by hiding the facts. If that crime came back to bite her in the butt in a bigger way than she had hoped, oh well. That's the thing about being a criminal...you sort of put yourself in a position where a judge and jury have to try to reconstruct just exactly how heinous of an a-hole you actually are...and if they get it a bit wrong in one direction or the other...well...maybe it would have been best not to put yourself in that position at all. Maybe don't kill your child in the first place, or don't let your boyfriend kill your child...or, if, God forbid, he does hurt your child, stand up for your child...maybe just for once stand up for your child. For the last time you have a chance to do anything at all for him, make sure his murderer is punished. Duh. (Even though the use of that word is apparently causing somebody here to foam at the mouth.)<br /><br />As for the pathetic cries at the end of the trial that her boyfriend is getting away with murdering her child...maybe that would have served her better to say it on day one...if it was true. (I very much suspect it is not.) And how do we suddenly believe her now, when she lied before? <br /><br />Either way, for the sake of her other kids, it's best that she's out of their life picture.moomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-43842191146601233112009-08-11T09:41:30.055-04:002009-08-11T09:41:30.055-04:00Wait, the kid that was found by the curb- a simili...Wait, the kid that was found by the curb- a similiar incident happened last year?

These chicks are on MTV, for crying out loud. You said it perfectly: they are tv stars because of their poor choices. Sure, it shows them learning how to change diapers, and throwing up and stuff like that but over all it shows that they are doing ok. I think it sends a horrible message to teens.

If you read the long news story the boyfriend said she did it, she said the boyfriend did it. Boyfriend also had a prior DV and testified against her in exchange for not being deported. I think there is a really good chance that she didn't do it. She still sucks for originally lying to cover up for her scum bag boyfriend. But, look how tiny the girl is in her picture. Do you think she could snap the spine in half? That actually takes force.

This is a very atypical result...hence the many, many young women with multiple children, all from different fathers. <br />And even if the girls are having hardships and groaning about lost opportunities...they are still frickin' television stars BECAUSE of their poor choices.

The only big problem I have with it is the fact that all the daddies stuck around even months later, which doesn't happen in real life. But, if cameras are involved, I'm sure that makes a difference.
