I do so like the word "stint." Sounds like a mysterious, vaguely pleasing femur illness.

I went grapepicking for a week and a half in France. Then I went to Munich for half a week to attend a bit of Oktoberfest.
Now I'm back and I can't think of anything to do.
Fuck.
Black hole.
I was in Munich the week before Oktoberfest . It's a nice city.Quote:

I really, really want to stop hating all those thousands of twenty-something backpackers from all over the world who I keep seeing every summer.

You keep saying happy stuff, daring us to ask about that girl, but you SAID you wouldn't talk about her anymore, Mr. Double-Talker.Quote:

Definitely want to travel through Europe (and further). Might work for a bit, save up some money and then get to it.

Haha! Woody Allen says "Free Roman Polanski!" That's like Ted Bundy demanding the release of Charles Manson.
There's a petition going around Hollywood right being signed by some powerful names for his release.
I think there are much more dangerous people out there than Roman Polanski.
I'm not saying what he did wasn't wrong. But it was, what, 30 years ago? And the "victim" herself doesn't even want him convicted?
Just let it go, and spend all this time and money and media attention on something/someone more deserving of it.
ah...that's why...Quote:

So, seriously, has anyone heard from D_Davis?
Did he announce he was leaving for a while and I just missed it?
The counter argument is that if you don't lock him up, it perpetuates the myth that if you're rich you can get away with anything, and the passing of time will erase your crime.Quote:

Not really related to the Polanski case but more just a general opinion, I very much feel that the laws regarding statutory rape need to be re-examined.
I find it very hard to believe that a 16 or 17 year old girl "doesn't understand what she's doing" if she decides to have sex with a 30 year old guy.
Of course the situation changes if drugs/alcohol enter the equation, but that shouldn't be (and isn't) just for under-age cases. It's just as wrong if the woman is 40.
If the victim doesn't even want him prosecuted this case should be done with.

That's the thing. If the case goes to trial, they can lock him up just for being a fugitive. They want him, with or without a victim. The rape case seems almost inconsequential at this point.
