    I love how all the LibTards are arguing with you and telling you how much greater they are than you. You're right. He didn't kidnap her to the definition you understand kidnapping to be. He manipulated her but he didn't kidnap her against her will. What he did was illegal as hell, but she willingly chose to go with him.

    It' is too the same as some teenage prostitutes. Remember Tracy Lords? Nobody forced her into porn at 16. She chose to. She did everything she could to deceive the people in the business so she could get in. Sometimes kids just do what the fuck they want to do whether its' right or wrong. It doesn't help that creepy child molester teacher man enabled this girl and manipulated her, too. He'll get his due justice in the end but he didn't kidnap her. I suppose transporting her across state lines validates some sort of legal definition of the kidnapping law, so that's why reporters write it that way.

    Unfortunately, as is the case with almost EVERY FUCKING story written now, you've got to read between the lines to get to the truth.

    Suck on that LibTards.

    Still puzzled as to how the board vigilantes have not stormed this thread.

    By calling someone something with the explicit message that that thing is bad, you're showing prejudice against that thing. So we get our dictionary definition.

    Calling someone a pussy, yeah, that's probably misogynistic. You're saying being like a woman is bad.

    Bitch is a little more nuanced because of multiple meanings. It could be something you say to be hurtful toward a woman. It could describe a particularly headstrong woman in a manner meant to demean. It could reference a subservient member of a relationship, most notably the cliche of a forced gay relationship in prison.

    But as CD said, it's mostly meant to be plain hurtful. Some words are hurtful because of the histories behind them. Thus they get tagged with an adjective indicating some of that history (and I don't know why I'm reacting to this trolling that imagines "asshole" is a "gay/feminine related word")

    Eloquently put.

    Not related to the thread title, but this is the type of liberal stupidity that is published in a "mid-major" SoCal newspaper.

    Segregated living linked to higher blood pressure among blacks study finds

    Seriously, black people who live in black neighborhoods have higher blood pressure than black people who live in integrated neighborhoods because they are "isolated" from white people.

    Thanks. I wasn't going for eloquence.

    You have a point about "asshole". I find it interesting that many of the hazing incidents you find in sports have literal asshole involvement (a gay or prison domination subtext), so I thought I would include it.

    They stopped making rookies dress up in public as women right?
