Man Owes Child Support For A Kid That’s Not His

This is disgusting…
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida (CNN) — Francisco Rodriguez owes more than $10,000 in back child support payments in a paternity case involving a 15-year-old girl who, according to DNA results and the girl’s mother, is not his daughter.
art.rodriguez.wsvn.jpgFrancisco Rodriguez is fighting for leniency in his paternity case. "It’s not right. I’m not the father, " he said.
Rodriguez, who is married with two daughters and a son from his wife’s previous marriage, is fighting for leniency. "It’s not right. I’m not the father, " he said at a recent court hearing.
He says he knew nothing about the other girl until paperwork showed up about four years ago saying he was the father.
He now has DNA results that show the 15-year-old girl wasn’t fathered by him. He even has an affidavit from the girl’s mother — a former girlfriend from 1990 — saying he’s "not the father" and asking that Rodriguez no longer be required to pay child support.
Yet the state of Florida is continuing to push him to pay $305 a month to support the girl, as well as the more than $10,000 already owed. He spent a night in jail because of his delinquent payments.
Why is he in such a bind?
He missed the deadline to legally contest paternity. That’s because, he says, the paperwork didn’t reach him until after the deadline had passed.
Jesus freakin’ Cristy. When does common sense come into play here? This poor guy is being gouged by the government for a kid that isn’t even his. The kid’s own MOTHER doesn’t want him paying child support! Just more proof that in America, men get screwed by the courts on a consistent basis. I’m sure this guy isn’t the first dude this has happened to either. I’m just surprised he’s not living in California!
Men Just As Talkative As Women?

So it would appear, according to a new study, that men are actually just as chatty as women…
Researchers who bugged 400 students to log their chats found little difference in word count between the sexes.
The University of Arizona study, in Science, conflicts with previous US research suggesting women talk almost three times as much as men.
Whether someone was an introvert or an extrovert was more important, said relationship experts.
What are the 546 words women say that men don’t?
In the study, women spoke a daily average of 16,215 words during their waking hours, and men 15,669 words.
The researchers say this difference is not significant.
Lead researcher Matthias Mehl said: "What’s a 500-word difference, compared to the 45,000-word difference between the most and the least talkative persons?"
The most talkative man in the study used 47,000 words while the least used a little more than 500 over a few days.
The researchers admit that their findings may not apply to all men as they only studied university students.
Also – who were the men talking to? Because let me tell you, when you’re on the phone with a girl, you tend to be a lot more chatty than you’d normally be!
Know When To Dump That Bitch…

Sometimes, I just don’t get men…
HONG KONG (Reuters) – A Hong Kong woman who blinded her boyfriend in one eye in a fight six years ago has been jailed for jabbing a chopstick into his other eye, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
ADVERTISEMENTLast November, Po Shiu-fong, 58, accused long-time boyfriend Kwok Wai-ming, 49, of having an affair, the South China Morning Post reported.
During the row, Po stabbed a plastic chopstick into his left eye, which she had already blinded six years ago when she poked it with her finger.
"Po became hysterical when she saw the wound and mopped it with a towel. The pair then went to bed," the paper said.
"The next morning they had another argument in which she grabbed a chopstick and stabbed Kwok’s right eye," it said.
Two days later, he sought medical treatment and filed a police report against Po, whom he had dated since 1993.
The paper said he didn’t report the attack six years ago, telling the court his silence was "a love sacrifice."
Kwok lost 10 to 20 percent vision in his right eye, the paper said.
Po was jailed for six months on Tuesday.
"If I forgive her, God would not forgive me," the paper quoted Kwok as saying. "No matter what, nothing could compensate for the loss of my eye."
I’m sorry, but if a girl STABS ME IN MY EYE, that’s a cue to dump her and never ever EVER get back together again. EV-ER. What kind of a hard-up loser would stay with a girl who repeatedly STABS HIM IN HIS EYE? This loser definitely got what he deserved for being a total dumb ass. But I do think this is good commentary about the state of affairs for men who simply can’t get laid, so they stick with whatever woman they can get, even if it’s BAD for them.
Best. Job. Ev-er.

So I guess the good folks in Melbourne Australia like to keep tags on their hookers, and they pay some very lucky private investigators to do it…
Illegal city brothels will proliferate in Melbourne’s city centre, according to the owners of legal brothels, unless the State Government cracks down on their operators.
The warning came after the Melbourne City Council last night decided against resuming its former policy of paying private investigators to have sex in illegal brothels, to gather evidence of a breach of planning rules.
Instead, Lord Mayor John So will join with the Municipal Association of Victoria to put pressure on the State Government’s Consumer Affairs Department to do more about illegal brothels.
Planners say illegal brothels in the city centre are growing.
Under the 1994 Prostitution Control Act, which legalised prostitution in Victoria, Consumer Affairs Victoria is charged with enforcement action against illegal operators. But critics say the department never takes action against illegal brothels.
Municipal Association of Victoria president Dick Gross wrote to Premier Steve Bracks earlier this year complaining that the department had never taken "successful enforcement action against an illegal brothel".
Cr Gross said last night he was pleased the Lord Mayor was taking up the issue.
But the Australian Adult Entertainment Industry, the group representing legal brothels and escort agencies, dismissed the Lord Mayor’s response as "half-baked".
So let me get this straight… they’re paying men to go to brothers, have sex, and report on stuff? No wonder no one is shutting down illegal brothels! Who’d want to lose that job? lol.

Lap Dances Are Protected By The Constitution…
July 9, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
You know, occasionally the government does get SOMETHING right…
SALEM, Ore. — A Marion County judge said lap dances in Salem are protected by the free speech provisions of the Oregon Constitution.
Judge Albin Norblad’s ruling struck down a city ban Friday on "prohibited touching" — sexually exciting physical contact for pay.
The case involves 24-year-old Laurel Guillen, a dancer at a Salem club called Cheetah’s, who gave a lap dance to an undercover officer in 2005.
Salem residents hoping to limit Salem strip club activity called the ruling a setback. They said they hope to get a measure on the ballot to amend the state constitution to strengthen local government regulation of strip clubs.
Cheetah’s does not serve alcohol and is open to people 18 and older.
Salem City Attorney Randall Tosh declined comment but said the city would review the ordinance and consider an appeal.
I know that out here in LA, a major push for "air dances" or lap dances that must happen at least 6 feet away from the customer, were fought and overcome by the strip clubs. I don’t know if they used the free speech defense, but it certainly seems to me that "sexually exciting physical contact" is a form of communication. We can legally go to a store and pay for sexually exciting movies, so why not the contact?
Whoever this judge is – major props to him!
The Boys Project
July 2, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
So I found this website called "The Boys Project," (no, it’s not some gay porn site for all you sick-os out there.) and it’s a website that appears to be dedicated to helping young boys develop into successful men by getting more boys to focus on schoolwork and higher education. One of the interesting things about the site is that there is a page on it where they compare everything boys go through to 100 girls. Check it out…
For every 100 girls that are conceived 115 boys are conceived.
For every 100 girls who graduate from high school 96 boys graduate
For every 100 girls diagnosed with emotional disturbance 324 boys are diagnosed with emotional disturbance
For every 100 girls diagnosed with a speech impairment 147 boys are similarly diagnosed.
For every 100 girls diagnosed with mental retardation 138 boys are diagnosed as mentally retarded.
For every 100 women enrolled in college there are 77 men enrolled.
For every 100 women living in college dormitories there are 87 men living in college dorms.
For every 100 American women who earn a bachelorГs degree from college 73 American men earn a bachelorГs degree.
For every 100 females ages 20 to 24 that commit suicide 624 males of the same age kill themselves.
For every 100 women ages 22 to 24 in correctional facilities there are 1448 men in correctional facilities.
For every 100 women living in military quarters there are 642 men living in military quarters.
I don’t know, I just find it interesting how statistically, men always seem to be more messed up that women. When looking at this list, you can see that more men are born on average than women, yet we’re also more likely to not graduate from high school, not go to college, be more likely to have some type of disability, and way more likely to kill ourselves or end up in prison.
They also left out that for every 100 American women, there are 1.5 million American Men begging for sex!
Italian Beach Bans Men!
June 28, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Sorry, looks like there’s no boys allowed on this one…
Italy has opened its first women-only beach, away from the prying eyes and wandering hands of the country’s notoriously lascivious men.
The beach at the resort of Riccione, on the Adriatic coast, is also closed to children, with mothers encouraged to leave their offspring with their father or grandparents.
Signs at the entrance to Beach 134 say “No Men”. One sign depicts a macho-looking man in a bathing costume apparently ready with his next chat-up line. But he has a diagonal line across his torso, in a manner similar to signs saying “No Dogs”. Ironically, dogs are allowed on the “Pink Beach”.
“This is not a lesbian beach,” Fausto Ravaglia, the businessman behind the idea to ban men, said. “It is simply for women to be themselves.”
Cinzia Donati, 43, a housewife from Milan, agreed. “I’ve left my husband and son behind — and I feel I’ve arrived in paradise,” she said. The beach was “a really classy place, beautifully clean and well organised. It’s perfect for us women. We are so much better off on our own.”
You know, I can’t honestly say this is a bad thing, since the culture in Italy is such that men ARE quite relentless over there, so I can see the need for a private beach where women can go and not worry about being harassed or whatever.
But c’mon. This IS discriminatory. Here in the states, private golf clubs get flack for not allowing women to join, yet when men are excluded from something, it’s all "okay." Jeesh. Give me a break.
2 Women Arrested For Bathroom Sex In Front Of Children

Filed under Rants & Reviews
Sex in a public restroom at a pool with families in attendance? YIKES!
Two women in Seminole County, Fla., are accused of performing sex acts in front of children at a community pool bathroom while a third woman photographed them, according to a police report.Seminole County sheriff’s deputies arrested Emily Hernandez and Johannie Jimenez over the weekend at the Casselberry public bathroom.
A woman told police that she was walking into the bathroom with her children, and noticed Hernandez and Jimenez naked and apparently performing oral sex. She said another woman was photographing the acts.
The pregnant mother said she tried to leave the area with her children but the women would not let her leave. She said she was threatened not to call the police.
The woman eventually left the area with her children unharmed, police said.
Hernandez and Jimenez face lewd and lascivious exhibition charges as well as battery on a pregnant person, false imprisonment of an adult and child under 13 years old.
Talk about girls gone wild. It sounds like these chicks were trying to make some type of amature porn and just picked the wrong location to do it in.
Women See Things Differently From Men (More Proof!)
June 27, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
We all know there are some serious differences in the way men and women mentally process information, but the news that women can actually see more COLORS than men is, well, new to me…
The normal human retina’s color receptors are tuned to green, blue, and red. Working together, the three give us our colorful view of the world. When one or more of those color receptors is missing the result is color-blindness. The genes for our red and green color receptors are located on the X-chromosome, giving women a redundant set of receptor genes. This is why men are far more prone to color-blindness than women. In order to be functionally color-blind a woman not only has to be missing a receptor gene on both X-chromosomes, it must be the same gene on each one. The chances of this happening are so slim that only 0.4% of the US female population is affected. By contrast male color-blindness is far more prevalent with 8% of the US male population affected – 95% of them with red or green receptor problems. Color-blindness makes it difficult or impossible to distinguish some colors, depending on which receptor is affected. The term color-blindness itself is somewhat of a misnomer, since color perception is altered, not eliminated. True color-blindness, wherein a person can distinguish no color at all, requires a malfunction of all three kinds of color receptors, and affects only 0.003% of the population regardless of gender.
I wonder if the fact that women are so much more receptive to different colors than men is one of the reasons why peacocking is so effective?
Scientists Develop Gaydar
June 27, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
So there’s a big write up on CNN.com about new studies which are trying to determine if homosexuality is a choice or if its genetic. In this study, they’re trying to pick out physical characteristics which could determine a person’s sexual preference. Check it out…
A growing number of psychologists and geneticists are working on the "nature versus nurture" question — a question that’s set off a highly charged political debate about whether people choose to be gay, or whether gayness is determined by their DNA.
Take Richard Lippa, a professor of psychology at California State University at Fullerton. His studies show that gay people are twice as likely to be left-handed. He also collects photos of hair whorls — those circular swirls you see atop a man’s head. He says about 10 percent of the general population have whorls that rotate counter-clockwise, but about 20 percent of gay men have counter-clockwise whorls.
Lippa acknowledges that studying hair patterns sounds strange. "It sounds a little like the ‘Twilight Zone’ or voodoo science," he says. But to Lippa, a link between sexual orientation and something that’s clearly inborn (like handedness or the way hair grows) speaks volumes. His theory: You can’t choose your whorl, and you can’t choose your sexuality, either.
"You’re born with either a clockwise or a counter-clockwise hair whorl. It’s fixed, it’s biologically determined. No one’s going to argue that your hair whorl is influenced by learning or culture," he says.
Lippa says his next step is see whether there are specific genes that control sexual orientation.
Douglas Abbott thinks Lippa won’t find a thing.
"There is no evidence of a ‘gay gene,’ " says Abbott, professor of child and family studies at the University of Nebraska.
Abbott points to studies that look at the sexual orientation of the offspring of gay people. "If homosexuality was caused by genetic mechanisms, their children would be more likely to choose same-sex interaction," he says. "But they aren’t more likely, so therefore it can’t be genetic."
For Abbott, the answer to the nature-vs.-nurture question is very clear. "I think the primary causes of same-sex behavior are environmental and personal choice and free agency," he says. "Can someone change their orientation? The definitive answer to that is, "yes.’ "
That makes Gerulf Rieger laugh. "Ask a bunch of straight guys [if they could switch to being gay] and they would tell you, ‘Are you kidding me?’ " says Rieger, a lecturer in psychology at Northwestern University. "So the other way around doesn’t work either."
In his research, Rieger shows videotapes of men and women talking about the weather. Observers have been able to predict with great accuracy whether the person talking is gay or straight. "Even within seconds, people are pretty good at figuring out who’s gay and who’s not," he says.
Like Sylva with his illuminated walkers, Rieger thinks his research points to genetics, and not choice, as the source of sexual orientation.
"It doesn’t seem to be the social environment, it doesn’t seem to be the parents or peers that make you gay," he says. "It seems to be something that comes from within."
They left out voice pitch and lisping. =)
Study Proves Women Are Perverts
June 22, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
So a new study was just released that shows women process sexual stimuli much different than men do.
When men look at pictures of women in the buff, where are their eyes likely to go first?
Men are more likely to look at a female’s face before gazing at other body parts, according to a new study by researchers at Emory University.
And when men and women look at pictures of heterosexual sex, women look longer at the photos than men do, according to the study published in the journal Hormones and Behavior.
Both findings may run contrary to what most people think, but they shed light on sexual attitudes that really aren’t all that mysterious when considered in a scientific light, said psychologist Kim Wallen of Emory.
Wallen and his former graduate student, Heather Rupp, showed still photos of couples having sex to 30 women and 15 men between the ages of 23 and 28. Each was rigged up with a high-tech eye-tracking gizmo to measure where his or her gaze went first, and how long it stayed there.
While men went straight to the face and lingered awhile, most of the women were more interested in what was going on in the pictures — the sexual activity.
Not surprisingly, Wallen said, women on hormone-filled birth control pills were interested in the overall view of the photos and "background" items like jewelry. But women not on the pill were more interested in areas of both men and women normally covered by clothing.
Rupp, who’s now at Indiana University’s Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction, said the "eye-tracking data suggested that what women paid most attention to was dependent on their hormonal state."
The scientists traced the findings to a brain region called the amygdala, which processes emotional information and excitement.
In an earlier brain-scanning study, Wallen found more activation in the amygdala of men than women in response to sexual stimuli. But the cause of the increased activity was unclear, and Wallen and Rupp’s latest study suggests higher amygdala activation in men may be related to their increased attention to faces.
They’ve also concluded there are biological and evolutionary reasons for what they found.
Women can tell by looking at naked men whether the guys are in the mood, Wallen said, but women’s bodies don’t reveal much.
Which is why men home in on their faces.
"It’s cryptic, but facial expression is one way of showing an indication of interest in and enjoyment of sex," Wallen said.
I found this article extremely interesting. I think it’s more proof against the "you have to be good looking" issue, since it seems women don’t tend to focus in on faces as much as men do. It’s the actual act tiself, and the emotional aspect to it, that women tend to focus on. (at least, that’s how I’m reading this article. You guys let me know if you think I’m wrong.)
I also found it interesting how men need to look at a woman’s face to gauge sexual interest. I think this is something we all instinctively know, but aren’t conscious of. Women KNOW when a guy is aroused. That can’t be faked. But guys need some type of clue. That’s why learning to read a woman’s body language is so important, and learning to recognize indicators of attraction as well.
15 Things Women Say That Guys Don’t Want To Hear
June 22, 2007 by Thundercat
Filed under Rants & Reviews
Some dude wrote a pretty good list of things that women say that we, as guys, just don’t want to hear. Check it out…
1 Any stories about ex-boyfriends, even ones told against the poor blokes. If your ex was a violent, brainless, tattooed ex-con, this will only make us feel boring and unmanly. And scared.
2 The phrase ‘I’d say it’s bang-on average, if not slightly bigger’. Best to steer clear of the size issue. Like us talking about your weight, it can only lead to misunderstanding and hurt.
3 Obsessive accounts of your diet and exercise regime. Men like skinny women, true. But they dislike being exposed to the borderline eating disorders and pathological obsessiveness that produce them. And curvy and sane always beats mad and thin. Eventually.
4 The accusing phrase, ‘What’s wrong with the blue dress, then?’ after we have said we like the red one.
5 Any details of your day at work. Although men can find the most basic things endlessly fascinating – the number of buttons on their shirts, farting – they will suddenly develop ADD when it comes to your professional life. Unless you are a porn actress. No, actually, even then…
6 Any information about things you thought about buying. We are perfectly happy to admire actual purchases, but yearning for those phantom shoes/dress/bag exasperates us.
7 Stories about other men patronizing you. This will give us an irresistible urge to ruffle your hair and say in a kids-TV voice, ‘Awww, did dey? Did dey do dat to oo?’ I know, sometimes we’re asking for trouble.
8 The word ‘Fine’ as a stand-alone sentence. The scariest syllable in the female vocabulary.
9 The sound of weeping. It destroys us.
10 Any details of strife you may be having with your female friends. The endless round of hurt and rapprochement that constitutes girls’ friendships mystifies us. If she’s that much trouble just delete her from your bloody mobile.
11 The phrase, ‘Hang on, I’ll just reply to this text before we order’. We want first claim on your attention, woman.
12 The phrase, ‘Can you turn over, you’re snoring’. Great, that’s both of us awake.
