And Idiot of the week award goes to...

[Asta Kask]

...a man in search of paid sex in Sweden scored with a hot chick and put a nice, fat $100 into her bank account to ensure that she actually comes to the designated place of meeting. She doesn't, so he traces her down and calls her.

Turns out the girl is 13... but he talks to her father and demands the return of his $100. He is now arrested, but his main comment is "I still think it's lousy she didn't turn up."

a) buying sex is illegal in Sweden
b) buying sex from a 13-year old is definitely illegal in Sweden
c) few fathers would respond kindly to a request that their daughter return the money a person paid to have sex with them

Yeah, not the brightest bulb in the factory... :smallsmile:

[Keld Denar]

The big news here in Seattle is that a motorcycle gang from the south end was speeding along the interstate when a cop decided to pull the lead guy over. He flipped on his lights and moved up to chase them. One of the motorcycles cut in front of him, and the officer swerved to not kill the guy. He ended up rolling his SUV about 4 times before coming to a halt. The lead biker circled around, got off his bike and walked over to the injured, trapped officer. Then he laughed, flipped off the officer, got on his bike, and rode off.

The officer, being smart even though he was simiconsious, didn't look at the insulting guy. He looked at the guys bike, especially the license plate number.

Poor guy, he's now got the ENTIRE South Seattle State Troopers, along with most of the sheriffs and city cops looking for him. I'd be seriously surprised if he hasn't already been caught at ~36 hours after the incident. Police are a brotherhood...you screw with one cop, you've screwed with every officer in every state who finds out. I hope they put his handcuffs on EXTRA tight, just to show him the love they feel. Its never a good time to mess with the police, but in light of everything thats happened in Seattle in the last year, its a REALLY BAD TIME to do it.

[AtlanteanTroll]

He's dumb, but the girl is STUPID. And he should've gotten his money back

[Mx.Silver]

He's dumb, but the girl is STUPID.
Really? Because she's currently $100 better-off :smalltongue:

I dunno, I'd thank him for the information as I sought out the authorities.

Then I'd probably kill my daughter for one, resorting to that sort of con-job and two, being traceable.

She was able to be tracked down by Mr. Pedo and if paying for sex is illegal then I imagine so is selling it.

[Asta Kask]

Nope. According to our politicians, that would be punishing the victims. Selling is not illegal.

[AtlanteanTroll]

I. Thats not right

[CoffeeIncluded]

Alternate title: People whose life expectancies can be unfavorably compared to those of mayflies. And then we owe the mayflies of the world an apology.

[Andraste]

Nope. According to our politicians, that would be punishing the victims. Selling is not illegal.

So, they can't arrest a prostitute, but they can arrest her customers?

[Coidzor]

Nope. According to our politicians, that would be punishing the victims. Selling is not illegal.

Technically he may not be a pedophile. If the girl used an adult pic just hoping to score money or gifts, and wasnt bright enough to think there would be consequences, as far as he knew she was an adult.

[Demonman]

I really wish people would not throw the word idiot around. He's hardly an idiot. A pervert yes. A pervert who didn't think things through definitelly. But I've seen better examples of idiot.

I think it's great your country puts an interesting spin on sexual deviance controls. Wish America tried something like that. I think the whole "it's illegal to buy, but not sell" may sound ridiculous and hypocritical at first. But it makes sense as it essentially means anyone can advertise themselves as an escort, but never has to follow through. Putting anyone willing to pay into the predicament of either wasting their money, or like this guy, demanding it back and risking being caught pursuing illegal forms of sex. (Which it should be illegal. But it should be illegal with pizzaz!)

Here in the U.S. we have things called "entrapment" which make it harder to make pizzaz laws. Which I can understand. But our system picks and chooses. Drugs are more profitable then sex. And whilest it may be less morally wrong to just snort a line, since money's involved, we go after that. I'm one of those rare few who can think for themself and be very pro-drug but very anti-sexual liberation. But then... like I said... pizzaz. The paradime bores the hell out of me. Rules don't have to be boring. Or aggarvating. People who don't know how to make them not so should not be able to make them.

[thubby]

should probably get off this current line of discussion. getting into politics >,>

[Coidzor]

Mostly it was a useful shorthand. Girl is still an idiot if he could track her down.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Unless, she had intent to sell.

Idiotic to have such an intent, but none the less...

[toasty]

Unless, she had intent to sell.

Idiotic to have such an intent, but none the less...

She apparently didnt cuz she didn't show up.

Then again... 13 year old girl, so...

And yes, we should be careful to not get into Politics here, I could mention quite a few political jokes here, but I won't.:smallwink:

[Asta Kask]

The 'idiot' part referred to him asking daddy to give back the money, given that his actions were illegal.

[RandomNPC]

I'll give that buying is illegal, but then selling would be providing illegal ... substances? anyway, prostitutes get arrested too, unless they've bought off the cops. (yea it happens sometimes, lets leave it at that)

I'll give the guy points for not busting into the house and demanding what he paid for, but otherwise he's an idiot.

[Coidzor]

As were hers if defrauding people is illicit.

Is the cop okay? And have the caught the guy yet? :smallconfused:

[Keld Denar]

Yea. From what I've read and seen, he wasn't hurt, just banged up a bit and ended up being pinned in his cruiser. Also, according to reports, the police have several persons of interest. Like I said, circling back to taunt the officer was probably not the smartest idea...

[Lycan 01]

Well, that's good, on both points. :smallsmile:



Lets see, idiot of the week on my end... Nothing immediately springs to mind. Some guys tried to run my friend over the other night while he was jogging. Like... actually tried to kill him, not just trying to scare him. He's a big guy - 6'10, a bit under 300 pounds - and he's been jogging to get in shape. Well, apparently these guys thought scaring him would be funny, so as he's jogging along in the grass they randomly swerve their truck straight at him. He dives into a ditch and twists his ankle, and they drive off like nothing happened. And since it was dark and he has terrible night vision, he didn't see their license plate or anything. So he had to stagger along on a twisted ankle all the way home, because some idiots thought he'd be fun to mess with. :smallmad:

[Inhuman Bot]

That's awful. Something like that happened here, once, but the guys who tried it ended up with 100% more street lamp in their head then they intended.

Still, those guys are pricks. Any chance of seeing what kind of car, or people were in them? Report the incident to the cops regardless?

[Lycan 01]

Wow, they took out a street lamp? Yay, Karma! :smallbiggrin:


No, he didn't see them or their vehicle. It was late, and he can't see very well in the dark. :smallsigh:


And last night some drunk chicks pulled up next to him and started yelling at him from their car. He just ignored them...

[Moff Chumley]

There's the game my friends have started playing, "Tenderloin Roulette", but I can't really say much about that... :smallsigh:

[Asta Kask]

She can't be punished. In Sweden, you can't be punished until you're 15 and expecting rationality from a 13-year old...

[AtlanteanTroll]

No Juvy for the Swedish? Shame.

[Trellan]

See, that's just awful. I've never understood why so many people feel the need to make fun of overweight people in the first place, but it's even more baffling when he's out jogging and trying to get into better shape. Seriously, those people disgust me.

[Keld Denar]

Speaking of supid people in cars...

When I was younger, we lived on a road that was on the edge of the city limits. Because of the massive amounts of snow we got in the winter, snow plows came by and plowed the road almost daily. Due to being half city and half county, city AND county plows to plow it. Invariably, one or the other would clip off our mailbox with the blade, and both agencies would point at the other for blame. My father, being the creative genious that he is, fixed the broken mail box himself until it was too battered to repair, then replaced it.

Well, one year, we had this hollow plastic contraption. Unfailingly, some time that winter it was struck by a plow and thrown ~40'. Unphased, my father took a 10' long piece of treated, hardened 4"x4" post, some ready-mix concrete, and fixed the mail box, setting the hollow plastic box over the post.

I wasn't exactly the most popular kid in HS, and a lot of punks liked to pick on me. Since its a small town and everyone knows everyone and where they live, one night these punk kids were driving by and decided to swerve over and clip off our fragile looking plastic mail box. NOT a good idea. The damage was incredible, judging by the fact that they managed to bend the post to a 60 degree angle from vertical. All police had to do was issue a lookout to all of the autobody shops in our small town, and within a week, caught the punk. Lucky kid got off with a pretty light sentance, considering that screwing with someone's mail box is a FELONY. Guess there was more there than meets the eye! :smallcool:

[Coidzor]

Oh man, so you can get away with anything as long as you're under 15, haha. Wow.

[Moff Chumley]

Things

That... is badass. :smallbiggrin:

[Teddy]

Oh man, so you can get away with anything as long as you're under 15, haha. Wow.

Not really. The parents are resposible for their children, so they can be forced to compensate for the damage. The kid can also get apprehended by the social authorities, if they find any reason to do so.

[DaedalusMkV]

Well, I've got a contender.

We recently had one of our sadly-not-rare drunken idiocy deaths. While these people generally aren't too bright, add way, way too much alcohol and things tend to get all the way to over-the-top Darwin Awards-style deaths. This particular one was an extremely drunk Tourist who decided that he wanted to go out and play chicken. Eventually, he wound up on the train tracks. I'm sure you can see where this is going. I feel sorry for the conductor and the people who had to clean up the mess...

Saw an episode of CSI similar to that, except that the bat broke off and hit the driver in the head and caused a wreck that killed them all. And the OWNER of the mailbox was arrested for being at fault.

[TDB Lady]

Another dumb driver story:

Back when I used to walk my dog early mornings and later evenings (12 hour shifts at work) , one of the neighbor kids thought it was cool to see how close he could come to us - there are no side walks in my neighborhood.:smallmad:

After several times of having to jump out of the way, hauling my 85 pound lab with me, I started carrying my hiking staff with me, figuring I would hit his mirror with it the next time he tried.

As chance would have it, the next time he tried to run me off the road, he dad pulled up behind him. That was the end of that game! I got an apology and the kid had his driving priveledges pulled for two months.:smallbiggrin:

My parents told me that there were a few postal-polo enthusiasts in my area in years past.

Now wehave the perfect deterrant. My dad had one of his welder friends make up a tank of a box: quarter inch steel plates, on a three or so inch pole, conctreted into the ground.

It's been okay so far, and likely rattled a few arms on the other end of a bat.
