Ms Sharmila pointed out that the law places the onus on the male adult to exercise restraint and discipline in curbing carnality.

So... if it was a woman it'd be totally alright then?

the minor may have actively initiated the encounter

no evidence that Kwek had corrupted the minor

Sounds like she was a bit messed up and corrupted to begin with. Still 15 year olds looking for sex doesn't surprise me in the least. Considering there were girls at my school (back in the day) that were 15-16, "going out" with 18-20 year olds. Not as big as an age gap, but still... "Looking for a mature boyfriend" and all those excuses, all the guy wants to do is get laid.

According to the Women's Charter, yes.

A quote from a female friend of mine, "Boys never grow up. Have you seen a guy who is actually mentally mature?"*

I agree with her. We boys just are always looking for something to fool around with. Even after we get married, we still fool around with our hobbies; I know men 30-40+ with wife and kids and still save to buy game consoles, Fenders, BMWs and motorcycles.

It is just that they are responsible enough to set aside cash for their family first and their hobbies later.

* - I replied, "Neither do most (Asian) girls here. How many have you seen with developed assets?" I got punched and kicked for that by her because she thinks I am implying that she is flat (which in fact, she is).

Pope John Paul ll relic stolen from chapel in Italy

Well since this 'relic' is a piece of gauze with the blood of the late pope, I'm sure they are planning to clone him for some purpose I still do not know

Cow fart causes explosion at German dairy farm

Rasdorf, Germany (Jan 27): Methane gas from 90 flatulent cows exploded in a German farm shed on Monday, damaging the roof and injuring one of the animals, police said.

High levels of the gas had built up in the structure in the central German town of Rasdorf, then "a static electric charge caused the gas to explode with flashes of flames", the police said in a statement.

One cow was treated for burns, a police spokesman added.

Man fights off shark, stitches up own leg, goes to the pub

James Grant, a junior doctor, was spearfishing with friends near Colac Bay at the base of the South Island on Saturday when he was attacked by what he believed was a sevengill shark.
...
He didn't see the shark and had no idea how big it was, he said, adding that he thought it could have been about 20cm (8in) across the jaw. However, he felt no fear. "[I thought] bugger, now I have to try and get this thing off my leg," he said.
...
He quickly made it on to rocks on the shore, where he took off the wetsuit – borrowed from a friend – and saw bites up to 5cm long.

Grant gave himself stitches using a first aid kit he kept in his vehicle for pig hunts. He and his friends then went to the Colac Bay Tavern, where he was given a bandage because he was dripping blood on the floor.

Brilliant.

It would had been less surprising if it was a individual or a business than to go to court for such case, but it's surprising coming from the government of Iceland.

Petition puts Justin Bieber into Obama's in-basket

Washington (AFP) - As if Barack Obama didn't have enough problems to deal with already, his administration now is being asked to weigh in on the grave matter of Justin Bieber.

By mid-day Wednesday (1700 GMT), a petition on the White House website calling for the deportation of the Canadian-born teen idol had garnered 103,000 names -- easily surpassing the threshold of 100,000 signatures required for presidential consideration.

"We the people of the United States feel that we are being wrongly represented in the world of pop culture," says the petition, created by one "J.A." in Detroit last Thursday, the day Bieber was busted in Miami Beach for impaired driving and illegal drag racing in a flashy Italian sports car.

"We would like to see the dangerous, reckless, destructive, and drug abusing, Justin Bieber deported and his green card revoked. He is not only threatening the safety of our people but he is also a terrible influence on our nation's youth. We the people would like to remove Justin Bieber from our society."

comments: "i'm sure President Obama will do something about this...probably."
