SL Letter of the Day: A Book Recommendation.
Try some Maya Banks too. There's lots True "romantica" that flirts with or pursues BDSM. Lora Leigh has some okay poly. Just remember these are mainstream romance authors writing about kink. So its pretty tame.

SL Letter of the Day: Minor Dispute.
Okay. Sports metaphor... go. Most sports have levels and leagues. Teams and tournaments based upon skill, size, age, grasp of the game and age. How about you play hockey with an NHL team? If you can great! If you can't, it doesn't matter how careful they are you still can't measure up.
An adult is in a completely different league. Putting an inexperienced, smaller child in the same arena is inherently dangerous. Not because they can't play, but because they can't play like an adult. Developmentally appropriate touching (sexual type activity at the child's level) ie. Tickling. Hugs. Cuddles... can be done. But the adult generally understands that we are keeping it in the children's league. Full adult sex, in all its varied forms is not for the peewee players.
Hugs between adults can be fun sexy time! Hugs between an adult and child can also be fun, but nit sexual because we are playing at their level. Not bringing a child to ours

Okay ankylosaur. I've cared for infants and toddlers with STI's from "games" played with them. Did they consent? Does the child consent when they accept the candy? Is that permission to perform sex with the child?Children cannot consent. Because they don't fully understand. Once they are cognitively able to understand what is being asked of them then consent can be given or withheld.
Lets not also forget the power dynamic. Children rely on adults for food, shelter, care and often their emotional and mental needs. If the adult wants sex, the child cannot refuse without risking some of their basic needs. Its not just a power imbalance. Its a risk no dependent child can afford.
That's why its wrong. Children don't truly understand and the power imbalance. Its the same with people that fantasize about rape. The act of sex where one party cannot refuse, regardless of why, is rape period.
I personally believe the age of consent should be lower, 15 or 16 in some cases. But kids that age can understand what they are doing, and make a yes or no choice. A six year old can't. That's the problem.

Why Does the World Hate Americans?.
Gotta say, I would love to have that problem. Regardless of how much money is earned there's always some douche that thinks he or she deserve more just because they are. If that 350k is so bad you are stuck, try living for a while in my shoes. I dare you.

The Spread of Spreading.
To Gingrich : when one person in a relationship makes demands or attempts to coerce the other into something the other isn't comfortable with. The opposite of GGG. ie. My girlfriend says she will leave and take the kids if I don't let her peg me.
Also the Grinch's anti marriage cousin. Not featured in the Christmas special.

Snap Judgment.
Why didn't Loomis guys just call the cops themselves? They report "hey this guy is taking pictures of the inside of any ATM we are concerned that he will try to rob it or break into it and steal money." SPD has grounds to ask for ID, they take all info and then deal with whatever reasoning he had for doing what he did. They write a report, Loomis asks for a copy (which they can do...) and then they have the info for their internal reports? All REI had to do was sit back and let them fuss at eachother and it would have been fine.
