Not taking sides here but this is a great post.
@franklinstower heart is right though.
After that I find this to be a very ugly thread.
Some of the replies I'm reading make me want to puke.
What ever happened to chivalry? What about honor?
I sound like such a white knight here but quite frankly I find the people behind this, the con men, to be worthless scum.
It's so easy to sit back and use terms like "slut", "whore", whatever and blame what amounts to children being taken advantage of, and yes I'm well aware 18 is legal, but anyone with a few miles behind them knows that 18 is still a puppy.
I'm clearly going old school here, but in cases like this I always wonder where the MEN are. I believe it is our duty as men to protect others from this sort of thing. In addition to the money they have to pay I also think every person involved should get their asses soundly beaten.
