He's been reading the blog and says he is ready to post some comments.<BR/><BR/>Welcome, Dan.<BR/><BR/>************<BR/><BR/>The term "co-ed" literally means "co-education." (Duh)<BR/><BR/>It harkens back to a day when colleges were either all-male or all-female.<BR/><BR/>These days, it typically means "young women who attend college." It does not normally apply to returning adult students.<BR/><BR/>But to return to the issue of legal age: There are instances when female students move into college at the age of 17 and then turn 18 during their freshman year.<BR/><BR/>Therefore, some co-eds are under age.<BR/><BR/>My point is not that Francis knew or didn't know about the specific ages of these girls. I'm sure he didn't card them.<BR/><BR/>Instead, I think when you begin meddling with this kind of black magic---where you try to "get over" on someone by exploiting them---particularly in sexual ways---you might find youself in serious trouble at some point.<BR/><BR/>That's all I'm saying. He opened Pandora's Box (in more ways than one) and now he's living with the consequences.<BR/><BR/>Was it worth it? Maybe he thinks it is, but he's in jail right now and there are people who are waiting for him when he gets out.<BR/><BR/>That would suck big time.<BR/><BR/>DDDDDDDDDDDr. Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16057337879095636133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503056.post-3530649750753965012007-10-29T11:36:00.000-04:002007-10-29T11:36:00.000-04:00By defintion, co-eds are supposed to be at least 1...By defintion, co-eds are supposed to be at least 18, aren't they?Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618874766251321861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503056.post-68675263663214461602007-10-26T19:16:00.000-04:002007-10-26T19:16:00.000-04:00I'm curious as to if Joe Francis created the conce...I'm curious as to if Joe Francis created the concept of "Girls Gone Wild," thinking that he could actually get away with exposing coeds like he did. You can't tell me that he didn't know these girls were underage. Sociopath is the best word to describe him.<BR/><BR/>In any case, he can still utilize his millions of dollars on something else once he gets out of prison. Maybe Joe Francis' Family Fun Mini-Golf Strip Club.<BR/><BR/>Sounds about right, eh?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>DRDReillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13547217316074657108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503056.post-6099307975252468872007-10-24T14:20:00.000-04:002007-10-24T14:20:00.000-04:00Yes, I think I have that problem from time-to-time...Yes, I think I have that problem from time-to-time as well. Perhaps it's more of a challenge in a globalized society to think socially, when your social circle now inludes people everywhere, instead of just your local community.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618874766251321861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503056.post-73131117339086619542007-10-24T12:08:00.000-04:002007-10-24T12:08:00.000-04:00You won't be surprised to learn that sociopathy is...You won't be surprised to learn that sociopathy is clearly linked to parenting issues, particularly alcohol-related parenting issues.<BR/><BR/>In other words, if you have a parent who abuses alcohol, you will not receive much empathy as you are growing up. Therefore, when it's time for you to practice empathy, you really can't tap into it and effectively show empathy for others.<BR/><BR/>There are clearly organic factors that contribute to sociopathy. For example, if you have psychotic episodes--like OJ--then your sociopathy is more extreme than others who might merely appear callous.<BR/><BR/>However, much of it seems to be a training issue: If you were not trained to empathize with the plight of others, then it's going to be difficult to develop that notion as an adult.<BR/><BR/>Therefore, characters like Joe Francis just worry about "what's in it for them" and they don't worry---in fact, can't even imagine---the consequences.<BR/><BR/>Out.<BR/><BR/>DDDDDDDDDDr. Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16057337879095636133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503056.post-49130989374333698432007-10-22T15:11:00.000-04:002007-10-22T15:11:00.000-04:00I think sociopathy can be a slippery slope.

But, you could say it is the nature of a sociopath that they want to be caught, because they want to be brought back in line with societal norms - as Dosteysky put in - "there is not future in being a rebel" or something like that.Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618874766251321861noreply@blogger.com
