Why I hate the courts
(Category: News & Notes )

Because they do shit like this.

A 14 year old boy is the victim of statuatory rape. Over a decade later the mother wants him to pay child support for the child that he unwillingly fathered. The court says that he must. You see, it did not matter that she committed a crime by seducing a minor. Child support is about the needs of the child and the circumstances of the impregnation do not matter at all.

So if a woman breaks into a sperm bank, fills up a turkey baster and blasts away, 9 months later she could sue for child support. If a chick has a crush on some fella and slips him some scopolamine, screws the hell out of him in his confused state and drops him off at his house with no memory of the event she can pop up after the kid is born and demand child support.

After all, the circumstances of the impregnation do not matter at all. The biological father is required to support his issue. It's all about the children, y'know.

One of the things that pains me about Esmay is his stance that this is all due to feminism. It isn't. It's due to stupidity.

It reminds me of a perennial argument I have with my brother. I say the news is skewed left; he says, no it isn't. It's skewed stupid. And every so often, I have to admit: he has a point.

It just shows that the law is an ass.

Ilyka, I like your brother more every time you talk about him. "Skewed stupid." Hehe. I like that.

He's far wittier than I am. I keep nagging him to get a blog, but he's also 10 times more creative than I am, so his free time is taken up with other pursuits, like music, and he thinks no one would read a blog that was mostly about guitar tabulature or other arcane details of recording, and I'm all, "Yeah, tell that to Ken Layne or Dr. Frank." He should totally get one.
