The New Sexual Predator

MidVicious

This has been around for quite sometime. Women who use a man to get pregnant and then extort him as welfare...

This has become a serious problem in America. Women are doing this in cliques, according to a guidance counsler at a high school in the midwest, and the problem has become serious to an extreme because women aren't being held accountable for this type of behavior. They try to entrap the men, extort and sometimes verbally and physically threaten. In many cases, the man isn't even the proper suitor, making this paternity fraud.

When this guidance counsler labelled these girls "Sexual Predators" the high school girls became so upset, they got their parents involved and had her reprimanded. Which in turn means, what they're doing is absolutely legal.

So listen, especially young men on your way to college, watch your ass and be very, very careful. Don't think of it as paranoia, it's just the type of warning you'd give a woman to watch out for male predators. Be careful. You may even say you use condoms and the such, but that no longer matters. If she's a predator, she'll use any means...

Please post statistics or at least a reference that isn't the damn daily mail and I'll believe you.

Until then, you just sound like you're pulling it out of your ass.

Oh god...

The truth is that there are thousands of other 'accidental mothers' out there. You have only to look at the statistics to realise that.

More than half of all conceptions are outside marriage, for a start. Couple that with the fact there has been a sharp increase in the number of children born to those in the 35-39 age group, and you get the picture.

bullshit detector at red alert

you need a new article if you want to continue making this assertion

Brian888

You have got to be fucking kidding me. This has the same stench as the Welfare Queen bullshit that Reagan foisted on us in the 80s.

Because, you know, it's not as if these hypothetical guys have any means of preventing their sexual partners from becoming pregnant.

nexuscrawler

You do realize the Daily Mail is a psycho right-wing version of the National Enquirer right?

Kagera

Oh those sneaky women, always trying to find ways to get a guy's money.

If only they can be honest and independent like us.

I pity them really.

You MORON.

So what you're telling me is that woman are getting pregnant as a means to the easy life? I can think of a number of simpler ways to the easy life.

This is a complicated scheme. I think handcuffing the guy to the bed and stealing their wallet might work better.

Elki

I read the title and had this image of magazines covers that have "The New (Soldier/Athlete/Adventurer)" as the issue's topic, and imagined this high-tech rapist with night-vision goggles, a tight black outfit, and a utility belt with incomprehensible gadgets.

Also, the Mail blows.

Not exactly the easy life either. It's welfare. Homeless people can get welfare and they don't have to keep someone else alive.

I especially can't see college aged girls doing this. No one working towards a degree could think getting pregnant is a better option over earning the degree.

The tubes. Tveest dem'.

Isn't the whole point of the article that older women are doing it?

This whole thread is stupid and should be locked.

so i should think twice before having a one night stand with someone when I am unsure of their motives

my cousin did have a girl (exgirlfriend) who came up to his college over christmas break, got him drunk, had unprotected sex with him and then mailed his parents and him the used positive pregnancy tests.

the kid is now almost 2 years old and my cousin pays child support.... but its not like he had millions and it wasn't for the money. she did it because she was lonely and stupid and didn't know what to do with her life out of highscool except pop one out (and no one else was stupid enough to touch her).

Kagera

Is this debate even worth having?

Isn't the very idea foisted on us by the OP so ridiculous that this should be locked and fade away?

I mean, I used to call my girlfriend baby during sex because that was the last thing I wanted from her. Now I call her sandwich.

Whoa whoa, Doc. Don't jump to any conclusions right before our date.

Yeah, it's a pretty dumb article.

I have no doubt that there are women conniving to get pregnant as a means to attain some amount of material comfort. I also have no doubt that there are other people out there attempting to do both more complex and more villainous schemes than this. Personally, I'm not worried about either group affecting me because there isn't any actual evidence of anything happening on a scale above "practically invisible."

Also, I'm not sure why I'm bothering to type this. I don't think the OP will be revisiting this topic / or that if he does this thread will last long before a lock from the pile-on that will follow.

Sorry, didn't check realize the source as the Daily Mail.

You have to understand, where I'm from, this seriously has become a major problem in a lot of schools on the east coast. This was sent to me by a friend of mine and I read it and thought, holy shit, it's finally getting some attention.

Anyway, I meant what I said. You wouldn't believe how many people fall into these traps everyday. You can mock it if you like and lock the thread if it becomes worse, but the fact remains, it is a major problem.

Evil Multifarious

if the frequency of events like this constitute a "serious problem," then i think we face a number of even more terrifying threats to American safety, including

-crocodile attacks
-emu attacks
-people-dressed-like-emu attacks
-exploding watermelons

Seriously, though, New Sexual Predator makes for some pretty exciting ideas. I don't think they're fulfilled, here.

When Kara is not generating human beings, I understand she plays a fair bit of The Sims. Outside of Kings Quest VI, it's the only game Brenna has ever genuinely tolerated. I've played a fair bit of the new one myself, but it's not wrong to say that I mostly watch television. That is to say, I watch sims watch television, because apparently just watching regular television isn't lazy enough. I watch television by proxy.

The primary feature Brenna was looking for in The Sims 2 isn't there, which is the ability to put furniture in the corner, facing a room. There are hearth configurations she can't manifest in the game, which strikes her as criminal act. For my part, there's a lot more "game" there - in addition to whatever short and long term goals you have established on your own, each sim has a series of wants and fears that need to be managed. You'll find that these things are correlated a lot, in that you'll have a teenaged sim that is extremely enthusiastic about kissing girls but also mortally terrified of being refused. Not really anything I need to explain, there.

Everything else just has greater depth: if you buy a couch, you can choose different upholstery and woodgrain options. There's a fairly elaborate (at least, by my standards) "make-up" option when creating your sims now. You have absolute control over their facial bone structure. When you want to cook something to eat, you aren't limited to "dinner" or something like that, there are a host of menu items based on your cooking skill. Anyway, yes. It's a better dollhouse than the first one, which will either attract or repel you. That's all you really need to know.

I've completed the main campaign in Dawn of War, but that doesn't mean I'm particularly dedicated - unlike offerings from Blizzard, which I will admit are almost ridiculously elaborate, Dawn of War has a single campaign which is only ten or eleven missions long. The campaign hits all the right notes though, as far as the setting is concerned, but I'm really not satisfied. I don't feel like I wasted my money, I feel like I want another "helping." The game is from Relic as you'll recall - Relic, who gave an entire RTS expansion away for free. Hopefully they will recall some of that old benevolence and dish it up.

Though the game in the box is already terribly amusing, as a fan of 40k in general my mind has already wandered to the ineluctable retail expansion pack. It's customary to get a few new units for existing armies in the *Craft games - but there's still so much left in Warhammer 40k to kick out. The anime-inflected Tau. The Matrix Space Zombie Necrons. The Tyranids, which Starcraft players know better as the Zerg. Relic could also forego a new army, and go the Command & Conquer: Generals route - each of the armies they've already implemented in Dawn of War have, according to the tabletop rules, myriad sects within each to which special rules apply. I'd rather see a new army altogether, but honestly I'm still so elated that they didn't completely fuck this up that I'm willing to invest a bit of faith in them.

(CW)TB out.
