You guys do come out with some good podcast shows. I have to say that the Obama topic still was a big one for me when listening to the show out of all of the topics. Yes it is about time they have masculine man SGL movies to come out. So sad about the little one getting HIV because sex is in your face all damn day and they going at in Elementary school. These young ones saying sucking a penis is like kissing. NO LIE! Crazy…

I would like to say I was born and rise in Oklahoma. This state has been a republican state since elections started. Now in Oklahoma I remember clear as day them saying right on the news channel that Oklahoma will not follow through on Obama pass laws if they don’t have to.

Obama isn’t God so like us he has to work at cleaning up somebody else mess and his own. I believe he deserves another 4 years to do it. Hell it even took Clinton both terms to get our economy right and it wasn’t as bad as it was and is now. It could have been worst and I think that’s why Obama gets a pass. Then you had his charm and determination you got people sticking up for him.

Put it like this when you’re in love a person is perfect you know there is no such thing as perfect because we all have this picture in our head what is perfect. So this person is imperfectly perfect to you. You do this with family members, friends, lovers, and etc. Obama has a lot of us in love and when you have someone like Mitt as other choice you just fall more for Obama.

As long as you voted u talk all you want but it’s the one who don’t vote that need to shut the hell up in my opinion. Anyway keep goin hard on em Discreet City.

Also, just to add a bit on when I listened through to the end of the segment there.

You guys talked about responsibility of the kid and I was truly just shocked. Blaming the victim much? You can not talk about responsibility of the kid as though he had a true understanding of the gravity of the situation he was entering. There are many parties at fault for the destigmatisation of AIDS and many more at fault for inadequate sexual education, but you just can't single out this kid and say that it's his fault because he wasn't responsible enough. And if you didn't seek to say that it was his fault, what were you trying to do? Be edgy for ratings?

I usually enjoy your segments, but this genuinely worried me.

I respond here since the commenting system doesn't seem to let me respond directly to your reply.

The whole reason we have age of consent laws is that children are not expected to understand the consequences of their sexual actions. Whether they are able to have sex or not is irrelevant and whether they lied *initially* about their age is also irrelevant and may I add in almost all cases of these incidents happening, the 'she/he said he was 18' defense is ignored as there's no way to substantiate whether either side is telling the truth, so let's drop that particular point and presume the kid did tell his attacker he was under-age. If not for the fact that the attacker had previously targetted young kids, we could presume innocence in both parties.

If anything, the kid may be guilty of breaking the terms and conditions of going on the app in question, but the issue is that he is not responsible for his actions related to the conditions of the incident. Children are exceedingly easy to manipulate and given that this man had previously gotten kids to have sex with him and clearly specifically targeted them, only indicates that he was obviously quite good at that manipulation.

Let me state this in another way for you: no, he is not 'in any way' responsible for what happened. There is no situation in which a sexual assault victim is responsible for the fact that they were assaulted. There are situations where it is deemed not the fault of the perpetrator, but there are never situations in which the victim is responsible for their circumstance. Have I made myself more clear?

Your response is almost *more* concerning

"This was not his first sexual experience." - Are you saying he would be less guilty if he were a virgin? That's horror movie logic. Because he's had sex before does not make it any more okay to blame him for being assaulted. If he's had sex before with older men, it just makes it even more worrying not that he was having sex with older men, but that older men were willing to have sex with him.

Also, what evidence do you have to suggest that he could've had HIV before he had sex with the guy? Is this just based on the fact that he wasn't a virgin? Because it kinda seems like you're insinuating that he was targeting this guy to have someone to blame his previous contraction on. Otherwise, why bring it up?

I'm not accusing you of not saying that the attacker was wrong: I'm saying that you shouldn't accuse a victim of being not entirely innocent because not only is it insensitive, it kind of disturbingly displaces the blame from the attacker. Let me repeat myself: there is no situation on earth in which an assault victim is even partially 'responsible' for their assault.

HOLY SHIT Are you really saying that holding a 15 year old accountable for getting someone pregnant is like holding a boy of the same age accountable for getting infected with HIV by a 30 year old man who knowingly raped him?

To quote your own blog post, "Before they had sex, Sumlin said he was 21 and asked the boy, “Are you really 18 years old,” and the victim replied “no.” Sumlin then asked, “Are you 17,” at which point the victim replied, “younger.”

To further quote: "If he had been truthful about his age from the beginning and the adult STILL continued the conversation, that would be a perfect case for an episode of "To Catch A Predator." - It doesn't matter when he says it: knowing that the kid is under age at any point in time makes this a 'perfect case' of statutory rape. It doesn't matter what the kid said or did: it's still statutory rape because the child was not of the age of consent.

Dude I advise you just delete this whole comment thread and take it back before people see it, because that is offensive as shit. You need to re-evaluate the way you think about this stuff! Meanwhile I'll be busy never reading another word you write.

Sorry Luke but I find your argument illogical and full of political correctness just for the sake of placing this sexual active teen in the same league of real victims of rape, molestation, and incest.

In no way did he deserve the results of his poor life altering choice but he is not free of blame.

I don't have the patience or time to tell you how or why I disagree with your comments.

By the way the post was about the 15 yr. old and not the 30 yr. old
