Exactly. And every legitimate porn site has a "teens" category, where the theme is young (or made to look young) women. Many of those clips involve the actresses holding teddy bears and hooking up with much older men.

And when most people hear the word, "teen," 18-19 are not the ages which first come to mind.

Truely squalid.

That's too much detail to be made completely up. It sounds to me like it might be based on a true story.

You missed the point. Interpol does not intervene with religious matters. Interpol would be meddling with religious matters if it refused to cooperate with a member nation because it disagreed with its religious laws. So Interpol were being fair, in the fucked up sense of the word.

Who knows, maybe the news will spread, there will be a global response, and Saudi Arabia will cave to diplomatic pressure and simply jail him for life instead of execute him. It happens every so often for women sentenced senselessly in Arab nations.

The app review process is about making sure the application conforms to Apple's prettiness standards and is free of sex, controversy, or 4-letter words.

It's a shame you were modded down. Although I wasn't going to rant about the DHS like you did, I wanted to scold the submitter for including this line in his submission:

Oh, please. Fuck off with the fearmongering. Even the DHS knows that the threat of terrorism is a bunch of bullshit.

This is actually reassuring in a sick sorta way - I always thought that people working for dating sites combed random sites and osmosed peoples pictures, without consent, as a basis for building fake profiles.

Now, as it turns out, they just keep the pictures from all the people who uploaded to their site and left a day later after they figured it was bullshit.

In my next life months from now, I am making 80K a year, driving an M3, and I'm looking for a woman who knows how to initiate and hold conversations.

My name will be Bryce Johnson, and my occupation will be engineer who loves wine, cheese, and long walks on the beach.

Yes, the example was a bit extreme, but I was trying to say that no good ever came out of social networking for me, only bad. Again, I don't need to "network" to land decent jobs, that's what references are for. Not socially networking also helps me weed the voyeurs and petties out of my personal life.

I've mentioned this before, but there is a lot that can be inferred even from a private facebook profile. An example - I don't social network, but my ex girlfriend did. Even private facebook profiles show a name and a picture to the public. Searching for her name + "facebook" on Google led me to her profile, and through the changes to her profile pic over time, I was able to (properly, verified later without asking through conversations with her) determine when she got a new puppy and when she broke up with her boyfriend.

Knowing that she didn't have a boyfriend, we became intimate again, and I told her about how I brought her only cat treats(not bringing dog treats) in a past visit even though I knew she had a puppy because it would be creepy for me to know she had a puppy then. I also told her that I used the same tactic to know when it was a good time to flirt with her. She giggled at first, then started to become angry. "It's not fair!" she said. You can stalk me online, but I can't stalk you?

Creepy? Maybe. Hypocrite voyeur? Perhaps. But not nearly as creepy as actually having a Profile and spending my workday leering at scantily-clad friends of friends online and sticking my nose all up in their business.

Somalians do have entrepreneurial spirit, they just end up being shot because of it.

...which is a pretty good solution, actually, for some Western "entrepreneurs" like Zuckerberg and Murdoch.

...and that's the beauty of the book. Most people who come into it knowing that Dostoevsky was a Christian will come out of it thinking that it is a pro-religion story, especially because what you said about Alyosha is true. However, all brothers, even Alyosha, are guilty to varying degrees of enabling Fyodor Karamazov's death.

Rather than seeing it as a pro-Christian novel with some dark characters, I see it as an all-encompassing story that people from all beliefs and walks of life could use to better understand human nature. I remember thinking that after reading the book, had I not known that Dostoevsky was a Christian, I would have thought him to be an atheist(I still believe that he was a closet atheist, a guilt-ridden sinner desperately grasping at salvation).

Also, I disagree with your labeling of Ivan and Dmitri as "not the good guys." Ivan(my favorite character) is your classic rationalist tortured by his intelligence, his logical mind refusing to allow religion to fill the void in his soul. Dmitri is your classic reckless hedonist. Again, they are not evil, only human. The only genuine bad guy out of all the brothers is Smerdyakov.
