*agree* *NM* - 29/09/2009 04:20:32 PM 225 Views
Problem of course is that those are not 'facts' - 29/09/2009 04:58:28 PM 453 Views
first you demand fact before judgement then you make a judgement on your opinion? - 29/09/2009 05:04:59 PM 394 Views

Not necessarily true at all - 29/09/2009 06:32:18 PM 372 Views
Somehow, i heavily doubt the fact she was NOT 18 would never have come to light - 29/09/2009 06:40:20 PM 435 Views
You may be right, I don't know. - 29/09/2009 06:58:45 PM 446 Views
so you agree he is guilty to the allegation he pleaded guilty to of sex with a minor? - 29/09/2009 07:09:07 PM 352 Views
There was never any doubt of that - 29/09/2009 07:46:43 PM 338 Views

I think that I'm just more cynical than you are - 29/09/2009 09:12:12 PM 405 Views
So because i'm not cynical about the court system and have a different train of logic - 29/09/2009 09:25:53 PM 423 Views
