I'm really hoping Mr. Mindgames gets together with Mrs. Mindless--it would be great entertainment to watch when she gets her hands on his tank. |

It's not touchy at all, it's the only way to have a rational discussion: make an assertion, and then back it up. This can take many forms, statistics or mathematical modeling being two examples. Some people think all assertions are equally valid, regardless of corroborating evidence. They pick and choose actions and beliefs based on a combination of wishful thinking and what they can shoehorn. This makes them very susceptible to odd superstitions, held loosely together by a hodgepodge patchwork of belief systems. The result of this mode of thinking is finding a vague significance in disparate events, based on what amounts to faith. It's essentially the same epistemological structure as fundamentalists of any stripe. This explains the scorn held for rational evidence-based discussion, since they don't see it as an appropriate response to the proclamation "I believe...". |

I wonder how many references to "bot" there have been recently? I'll just say it's been used 23 times in the last 2 days, and then that can be the truth. Talk about needing new material. |

True. It's a complete steal of my Bzzzt-Does-Not-Compute-Bzzzt Mock-mockage of last year. He didn't crash and go haywire at it, though. Bless. |

This one is priceless.
Your 16-year-old daughter falls for a divorcee of 36 and wants him to move in. Would you let him? Meet the parents who did
haha, PWND. |

OH gosh, let me stop reading before I vomit all over myself "Alison claims to be "very mature for my age" - something she says her lover told her not long after they met last October." HA! I think we have all said that... Right before we made a huge mistake in our lives! AS for the parents, they are obviously completely incompetent, and should not have been allowed to breed. |

There's so much wrong with every facet of that story that it is very entertaining. Good catch, Mock. |

She's going to do it, and there's no law against it. May as well keep her close, make sure she isn't being abused, and keeps her options open. Perhaps they put a birth control pill in her oatmeal every morning. |

Apparently, nothing illegal about it in England, though I wonder about buying her drinks after he knew her age. In some states, the relationship would constitute statutory rape. That's wholly dependent on what's defined the age of consent, as well as any special age difference laws in place. Of course, regardless of the legality, it's monumentally stupid. A mid-teens girl in love with a mid-30's slimeball and inept parents letting the guy move in. It sounds like something from a daytime talkshow. |

I agree with Korill actually - it IS ridiculous but at least they can keep an eye on her if she's living at home with them and make sure she's being treated well. When it all falls apart they're on hand and ready to sort out the mess. |

Or they could assert some parental authority and prevent the relationship instead of enabling it. I assume the legal age of majority is 18 in the UK, so they could put a stop to it if they were so inclined. |
