B'Way Beauty Sex Bust — Page 9

Stephanie are you against the law that states that the adult is responsible for sexual conduct with a minor? And are you for lowering the age of consent to 15?
Because this seems to be what you are advocating when you are talking about a child taking responsibility for her actions.

And it gets bigger and bigger...

How many times do I have to say this:

MY OPINION does NOT have to be YOUR OPINION.


I don't expect to change yours, and you should respect MINE, even if you disagree.

---

agreed, allofmylife.

and while you guys are posing questions at me, how would you feel if you were accused of a crime and everyone and their mom said "OH, he's (or she is) guilty!!!" before your trial or any information was known?

Tom Cruise could tell ya!

MaronaDavies, you are apparently misunderstanding the intent of my posts and your previous post was hypocritical. There are two sides of every arguement.

I expected disagreement. Those who post ANYTHING on this board, even something as simple as "who was the best fantine?" should expect disagreement. That is life. I'm sorry you don't understand that small fact.

Nowhere in any of my posts am I saying children should be molested. I think you all are ridiculous for insinuating I did. I have made my previous case and I no longer will repeat myself. You all disagree with me, I disagree with some of what you have said. END of story. LIFE GOES ON.

MaronaDavies, you are apparently misunderstanding the intent of my posts and your previous post was hypocritical.

How exactly was my post hypocritical? I've read what you've posted here. You've repeatedly tried to justify the misconduct with statements such as " All I'm saying is that a 15 year-old child has say over whether she gives someone head or not.... " What is there to misunderstand about that?

I expected disagreement. Those who post ANYTHING on this board, even something as simple as "who was the best fantine?" should expect disagreement. That is life. I'm sorry you don't understand that small fact.

Don't patronize me, or anyone else on this board. Actually, I don't think you did expect that. People have disagreed with you and you've jumped on them. When posters have tried to reason with you here and talk to you like an adult, your only defenses have been "stop talking to me like a fangirl," "it's my opinion," etc. You've not been able to actually back up your statements with any sort of logical or reasonable argument.

I'm not going to read or respond to anything else you say here, because it's obvious that nothing anyone says here will get through to you. I only hope your damaging and harmful beliefs never affect anyone else.

Steph..

You are about as distuging as RTFan.


End of story.

Allofmylife, serisouly thank you being the voice of reason.

As the daughter of a criminal defense lawyer, a lot of the speculation here, and the assumption on some people's part that he is in fact guilty, is pretty awful. Words like "the misconduct" can be pretty damaging without an "alleged" making its way in there.

Again I ask-Since you feel that 15 year olds can control whether or not they give head to someone, should the age of consent laws be changed?
I am 28 and couldn't 100% control who I give head to. If Mike Tyson was physically persuasive enough I think I would probably end up taking one for the team.
The vast majority of my comments are based on the statements that Mr. Barbour has made. Also i think that we have a right to speculate and comment on this particular case. a majority of us are performers or are in some way related to showbusiness. Others on this board are fans. We are intimately aware of the Actor/audience member realtionship. As an actor I have seen and I have been in situations in which I could have taken advantage of someone.
As an actor I know all too well how diffcult it can be to deal with a star struck Fan. Just last year a 15 year old Girl started an internet fan site about me. She and her friends were very nice at first, they interviewed me and regularly contacted me through email. This was my first experience with any real fans. My first thought when they bagan the website was "Why?". I then realized that these were kids and that this would eventually die out as they matured a little. I was nice to them, but always mindful that these kids didn't really know, or want to know the real me. They just wanted to know the guy they saw on stage.
Everything was fine at first,(I actually thought it was a little strange-I am nowhere near famous) but around Christmas things got a little strange. I got an email from the president of my fanclub stating that she wanted to call me on the phone to ask me a personal question. I declined saying that I would prefer email (this was for my protection so There would be a record).
Well, on the day after Christmas she contacted me and started to talk to me about some very specific personal problems in regards to her sexual identity and possible orientation. In addition she talked about her attraction to me. She told me that I was her "Idol" and that I was the only person she felt could give her advice on the matter. I immediately, but cordially, ended all correspondance. There is no reason for her to be talkinig to me about that. I am no position to offer her advice or to counsel an obviously troubled teen. Do I feel bad? Of course. The girl was probably going through some unbelievable issues and she was reaching out for help. But I know that it was innappropritate for me to get involved, and I didn't want to put myself at risk.
I tell this story because I want you to know how Deeply Disgusted I am personnally to even think that James Barbour would take advantage of this girl in any way (and I would hope that everyone here would agree that having that girl in his bed and kissing her is taking advantage). When you are given the talent and luck to be in a position where people put you on a pedestal and admire you, it is your responsibility to never take advantage of your station.
Again keep in mind that I am basing my "OPINION" on the Statements that were made by Mr. Barbour. All of the other elements of this case-the 13 year old accuser from california, the dismissed case in florida-that will be dealt with in front of a Jury.

Neverandy you're sure not shy about posting your "credentials" on this board are you?

Let's end this with one thing we can all agree on.

Thank God we live in a nation where everyone - including Mr. Barbour, INCLUDING US - deserves and will receive a fair day in court.

THEN we can visit this story with renewed vigor, confident in the fact that justice took its course.

Now getting back to how crappy Wicked is....
