Absolutely not. That is risky behavior.

Mixing ketchup with mayonnaise could lead to ranch dressing and even worse, thousand island. Mayonnaise is a gateway to other evil condiments.

A line must be drawn. There must be law and order.


Ketchup and mayo are acceptable to be mixed.

Even better is Sweet and Sour sauce from McDonalds (downside, you have to go to McDonalds) mixed with Mayo. Glorious.

There is a line. And its mustard. Mustard is god awful. The best thing for mustard is the trash can.

It's not risky behavior. Are you suggesting that engaging in a group sex act heightens the chance of rape, etc?

No, I'm stating that sexual promiscuity in any form could increase the odds of a false allegations. More extreme behavior may further increase those odds. FWIW, I don't believe him to be guilty, but I believe his poor judgement contributed to allowing this to happen--and he stated as much in his press release.

Having sex, period, could increase the odds of false allegations.

I understand, I'm in my early 30's and not so far removed. However, it's not like that for everyone and I, for one, will raise my children virtuously despite society's crumbing morality.
Understood, my friend, but eventually your children become their own person. No one raises their child to be a drug addict or violent criminal, either, but the world is full of them.

We live in a world where our kids have been desensitized to certain things that others hold dear or even morally corrupt. It is what it is. You asked another poster whether they would like it if their daughter participated in a group sex session. I think the answer for most is that they would prefer that they didn't. However, I have a very open relationship with both of my daughters and my son and I know that they are both intelligent and comfortable with their sexuality (all are heterosexual) and if they happened to make that decision it would be something that they were completely comfortable with. At that point I have to trust my kids and their decision making. They have rarely failed me or my wife (let alone themselves) in that department in 24 years. I have always been of the opinion that sexual repression is just as dangerous (if not more) as promiscuity. There should be a healthy balance and those scales are different for EVERY individual.

Now, if my son or daughters took part in that for the sake of posting it on the internet? Yep, I'd have a huge problem with that. For me, as a father, that's my line of demarcation. We all have one.

Mustard is a stand alone thing. Doesn't play well with others.

Mustard is a stand alone thing. It can stand alone on the shelf of the grocery store when I don't buy it.... or it can stand alone in the garbage can if a bottle of it works its way into the house.

Why any straight man would want to be naked with another hairy beast is beyond me....and I imagine that the smell would be too.

If you are willing to draft him in the third that means you believe he is innocent. If that's the case then you should be willing to take him earlier

You can believe he's innocent without being certain of it. It only makes sense to build the risk into the cost of acquisition.

Just some advice for kids looking to get drafted in the future:

As the draft approaches, avoid women you don't know.

Stay out of clubs, and if you do go to one, go with several friends, and at the first hint of any sort of dispute, bail.

Don't hang out with anyone smokin up, or anyone who has a record.

Stay off social media. Don't mention if some random booster gave you $$$, don't let someone video you taking a hit with a gas mask on.

Basically, go into hiding, don't even answer your phone unless it's your mom, your agent, or an NFL team.

It's just too easy for someone to cost you millions, and the world if full of evil people who would love the opportunity to do just that.

Morality did not just crumble overnight.

Back in the 1950s that darn rock and roll was responsible for all kinds of debauchery with your parents.

It is crazy and alarming at the same time, but I have learned the bigger a deal you make out of it, the worse it gets. The best thing to do is talk about it versus flipping out.

But your last point is important. Most parents are not equipped to be parents. Morality is just different. The big part is the lack of parenting and accountability.

If my kid turns out weird and I have a problem with their lifestyle choice, I better start looking at what I did versus whine and blame some sort of moral decay for the situation.

I totally agree.

I'm not so concerned about morality per se, but it did drive many generations of parents to have a basis for raising their kids. People pushing morality often went overboard in past generations, but they at least had some type of guideline as to implement rules and restrictions for their kids.

Now many parents have no clue and without being part of some group such as the "morality groups" of the past, they have nobody else to give them guidance on raising kids.

Most humans and especially teenagers need some structure and rules. People think they are doing their kids a favor by having minimal rules or structure, but it just makes life more difficult for those kids once they leave home and figure out that the real world does not pamper them like their parents did. Even if people don't believe in morality, at least teach kids about manner and respect.

As in most things in life, the key seems to be balance.

My girlfriend's son is 16 and many people would not believe what girls send him via text and other messaging methods. Girls send out provocative (to say the least) photos in group text messages. They compete to see who the boys will "grade" as the best photo for a specific body part or the best "action" video. I seems that many parents don't even care what their kids are doing and definitely are not talking to them about morality.
And yet there's been a big drop in teen pregnancy over the years...maybe teens just get off to texting rather than the good ole days and just doing it
