I know she's a little young for the group--but it's material I'm sure you'll find amusing. I love it when legitimate news goes a little sleazy
-
That was a little sleazy - amusingly so and for a girl her age, she was pretty well developed.
-
Only 1 13 year old girl looked like that in my middle school graduation, and she never grew up top again (but chopped off her long hair and grew plenty down below before HS graduation) damnit!

-
She grew long hair down below?
-
How in the heck is that a revealing dress?
Did she get some lesbian nuns at that Catholic school all excited?
Those idiots running that school should look forward to getting their asses sued off!!
Quick, get them a good Jewish lawyer!!!

"She grew long hair down below?"
She must have been one of those crazed Republican Bush supporters!!!
BUSH IN 2004????

This country really has a problem with harping on little insigificant matters while often turning a blind eye to issues with consequence.
Stuff like this is insane. The mere fact that it made the nightly news is insane.

See? Religion sucks. Breasts are evil. And the world is full of bastards and hypocrites.
Catholics...just as bad as Baptists.

You know what that school and her parents SHOULD be upset/embarrassed about? The girl's horrible command of the english language.

I just googled this story, using different combinations of search terms, and found exactly two sources -- the one linked above and another one apparently from a "sister" station (it was exactly the same).
Lesson: "TV news" is an oxymoron.

No one else picked up the story because Catholic bashing is soooo last week...
-
Yeah, Catholic-bashing may be passe already, but teens with overdeveloped breasts never go out of style.
Speaking of the paltry informational value of TV broadcasts, try typing any other major city or state name in place of Cincinatti in that website URL (i.e., www.channel_________.com), and see how many identical-looking local network websites you get. I say this because my local channel 5 site is an example.
Can you say, "powerful media conglomerate"?

The one thing you can always count on in May, is that its sweeps! Networks and local channels just shower the airwaves with breasts, boobs, cleavage, and all manner of revealing and sexy stories and taglines. Its really a shame that they would exploit an 8th grade girl though.
Still, its a great time of year to watch TV!
-
"There's cleavage, but when you're as big as Dannielle, there's going to be cleavage," Meyer said. "There's nothing I can do about that."
What a great quote. I'll have to admit, she's pretty damn big!

Guys, I kid you not. I went to a co-ed Catholic high school in the Chicago area. Here were the dress code rules for girls' dresses at dances: (if I remember correctly back across the gap of 10-15 years)... dresses must come above the breast line, must be worn with undergarments and stockings, and must not be made of a clinging or revealing fabric. Strapless formalwear is prohibited, as are dresses with necklines that expose cleavage. Bare legs are also prohibited.
Needless to say, girl-watching at dances there left something be desired.
Contrast that with my second high school, where my girlfriend's turnabout dress was homemade. And all she wore was the dress, some shoes, and some jewelry and make-up.
No stockings? Just spent good money on a pedicure.
No bra? She built support into the dress so she wouldn't have to wear one. She wore a 38D at the time, and showed a delightful amount of cleavage in that dress,
No panties? She knew how much that turns me on. 
And this public high school had absolutely no problem with it.
Cool beans, eh? 
-
This is absolutely ridiculous, and it makes me more infuriated that this happened in the next town over. Of all the problems with the Catholic church in Cincinnati, THIS is what they wrap themselves up in? And of all the shit that Cincinnati has going on and needing fixing, THIS makes headlines?
Nobody said the girl was doing anything WRONG. CLEARLY she didn't buy the dress with the INTENTION of showing cleavage. No one said the girl flashed anyone, or acted in any wanton way that warranted immediate removal from an important ceremony. She just grew differently (and, IMO, better) than the other girls. So the fuck what?
GIRLS HAVE TITTIES. SOME have BIGGER titties than OTHERS. You would THINK the CATHOLICS, being the UNDERSTANDING, NONJUDGMENTAL "love-all-God's-creatures" folk they are
would "UNDERSTAND" that this is simply how their God "MADE" her. Yes, PUNISH the girl, PUNISH HER UNTIL HER BREASTS FALL OFF. Only THEN will she be free of the sin which is inextricably attached to her through those DEVIL BAGS.
Fuckin MORONS. This ridiculous bit of fluff "news" is a crash-course on one of the reasons I fucking hate the Christian/Catholic religion.

Christians are Devils in disguise!
Think about it...they call everyone ELSE the Devil just to take the attention off themselves!
And Jesus said there will be many false prophets...so why not have so many false be-LIE-vers? 
Breasts are the DEVIL!

Funny...I thought breasts were a sign of "nuturing?" They FED you when you were younger, NOW they are evil? Don't bite the hand that feeds you...bite the BREASTS that feed you!
And if sex is so evil, as many Christians make it out to be, then how were all these fuckers born? Did their mothers spontaniously FART and BAM! They were born!?! ( The Virgin Mary? C'mon...admit it now...she cooked up that story because she cheated on Joseph! And the dumb asses be-LIE-ved it! ) Or did that star fall from the sky and turn into a baby for Mr. Stork to deliever?
No, dip-shits, mommy and daddy had SEX! So, since sex is responsible for the "miracle of life" and breasts are responsible for feeding babies that ever-so-good "Momma's Milk" what is the problem? Christians...Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, or otherwise are fucked in the head. That's why I won't listen to them tell ME how to live MY life.
After all...I'm a "Devil Worshipper" ( as dubbed by my great Southern Baptist buddies here in Hell, er, Alabama ). You ain't from around here, is ya, Heavy?
No shit, Sherlock! Fate is responsible for me ending up here.
No...it was God's will...yeah, that's it. GOD made it so! 
Forget Christianity, I worship the Almighty Breasts!

To paraphrase a line from my own religion "Love the Catholic, hate the actions of the administration of his church." Yes, I am one the "FUCKING MORON CATHOLICS!" you so eloquently referred to above. Trust me, we are not all like that. As usual, a few bad apples ruin the perception of millions of us.
If you want to continue to hate me for my religion, that's your perogative. I won't trouble you again.

Alright, slightly off topic for this particular thread, but the discussion about church and boobs brings back memories for me. When I was growing up, there was one particular girl at church whom I ogled religiously (pardon the pun
). In fact, she was the preacher's daughter. Her family first moved to our church when I was in 2nd grade and she was in 3rd, and she was the first girl I ever had a crush on. By the time she was 14 or 15 her breasts were easily in a transition from C to D, and she regularly wore dresses similar to the one our 13 year old friend was reprimanded for wearing. Ahh what a sight to behold she was! As she matured further throughout our high school years, she filled her D cups nicely and loved wearing clingy, light summery dresses. She even had one halter dress that I remember, which she obviously wore with no bra. Too bad that since college began she's become a beer slut and most of her breast weight has shifted to her gut.

I am a Christian. You are stating that I am a Devil in disguise. Why are you all bringing religion into this, when it is obviously just politics in disguise? You preach tolerance yet practice intolerance?
Man, didn't you used to be cool?

I also was thinking that.
A school simply had a hang-up over dress code. It doesn't disprove Christianity.

That sucks, Goldeneye. Plain and simple. There's no need to attack someone's religion. I don't bring my faith into it, I have seen no other Christian or Catholic do that either. I don't see any attacks on Islam or Hinduiasm...or other religions!
What a wretched person you show yourself to be with that comment. Is that how you really are? Go wallow in it if you must but let's try to stick with the breast issues around here. That whole story had nothing to do with religion per se. It was about politics, morality etc.
Whink

Methinks there's little difference, if any, between religion and politics. Both involve people/groups preaching about their cause/belief's being in the right; to hell (pardon the pun) with the rest.
What get's my goat is that the Christian/Catholic religion in general states to profess acceptance...but as this story, and world events, demonstrates the opposite. Reminds me of a line of a song:
"We come in peace, shoot to kill, shoot to kill, shoot to kill!"
And it is *not* the general code that all religions go by. Some just seem better than others in "practicing what they preach" (even though I'm atheist).

i'm also a Christian... and that's something i've noticed as well. whenever Christianity pops up... you're free to bash it, but whenever a person who is of a religion that somehow has God or even the word God in it, everything they say is taken as if they were **77** their religion on others, whether they mean to or not. it's quite one-sided.
it's just like the racial jokes you always hear... make fun of white people all you want, but if you make one little comment about a colored person... BOOM!
anyway... to bring the thread back out of the relgion bashing...
i attended a Christian school, and there was this teacher there, who was around 30 at the time... who had wonderful D cups, maybe even a little larger. and while she never showed any cleavage while at school, she always wore these TIGHT TIGHT sweaters!
so i don't know about the policy for cleavage, but super tight and body hugging sweaters over D cups on a short and hot teacher is fine.
EDIT: and NotTheMomma, that's the BEST show ever!

I knew I was going to draw fire. I was not attacking the religions themselves, I was attacking the politics within them that ALWAYS manage to fuck things up for someone. Y'know, the ones like those at foot in this article and at the root of all those ridiculous groups that get TV shows canceled and censored everything from Leno to <I>ER</I> after one woman's breast fell out at the Super Bowl. Would this have managed to escalate to this level, let alone take on headline proportions at any non-religion-affiliated school? I doubt it. The politics of mainstream religion seem here, and many other places, just like in the colonial witch hunts and other cases, to be clouding the actual reason the religions are around to begin with. Am I wrong in saying that it ruins things for a lot of people when you begin interpreting the word for your own conservative (or liberal, or whatever) means so that you can attempt to make the world, or your world at least, the way YOU and others who think like you want it, conveniently backed by your scripture of choice? Anyway, I've gotten off-topic. I was speaking, in general, about the referenced morons being the often-conservative clergy who seem to enjoy raining annoyance down on everyday life; specifically--and it becomes obvious when you read it knowing this--I was talking about the higher-ups at this girl's school, as I had been in the previous paragraph...my obvious distaste for organized religion tainted it a bit and apprently made it seem like I was going for something different. I apologize to those I offended, but maintain that it probably came from some poor phrasing on my part and seeing something that wasn't really there, or wasn't intended to be.
-
You want to talk about conservatives and TV? Didn't Rev Pat Robertson run for President once? See, that's the so-called religious right which is only a clever mask for the neo-Nazi Republican party.
Yes, there is far too much effort being expended in Republican Guns and NRA crap which is why Iraq was invaded. Vote Democrat and at least the moralism can leave mainstream and a TRUE separation of the beautiful Christian Religion and Politics can happen.
WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?
He sure wouldn't run for office.
And didn't God creat the beautiful female form and those wonderful large breasts we all love so much??? God bless the busty kids. My almost 17 year old daughter is one of 'em.
See? Back on topic. You're not so bad Goldeneye (and neither is me), but you had me worried therre for a minute or two!

Didn't Rev Pat Robertson run for President once?
His campaign came to an end when a Republican Congressman accused Robertson of having lied about being a Korean War combat officer. Robertson escaped combat duty by making phone call to his father, a U.S. Senator, when the troop ship stopped at Okinawa. The Congressman had a great deal of credibility because he had been awarded the Silver Star for leading several bayonet attacks in a row against the North Koreans.

So this is a POPULAR Republican thing, then? Because we have Dub-Ya Bush and Quail in that camp as well.
Wouldn't we all be happier with big tits in our face and a pecker in the bush? I know I would.
Whink 
P.S> For those who are routine visitors and wankers, having a pecker in the bush means losing your virginity and actually having intercourse with a RL woman by thrusting your penis (repeatedly for at least 45 minutes) into her vagina...making certain she comes repeatedly...and yes, that means she jacks off as much of a load as you do. Weird concept huh?

First off, thanks JizzTits.
I agree. I hope it'll come out on DVD someday. They're owned by Disney now so if I remember correctly, so who knows when they'll show up on DVD.
Going back to the Catholic schools thing...I didn't realize how strict they were in dresscode until a show I caught on some channel (maybe Trio or something...can't remember) where they focused on a school prom. The only reason I started watching it was it was to feature a school here in Kansas City but I didn't recognize the name of the school. Anyways, most of the show seemed to show how the girls were to conform to the rules of the dance (no spaghetti straps, no cleavage, etc.) and the girls had to have the dresses pre-approved by some head-honcho lady ahead of time. I was just like..."oh brother." It was hard to believe. Supposedly though, the [censored] had fun so I guess that was what's important. Still...it was surprising to me. They did however, let a lesbian couple show up together and one won (in a tie) "Prom Queen." Thought that was cool.
Trying to think of something to keep on topic but I never really had any busty teachers. Had only one I was really attracted to in sixth grade. She was tall (like tall women) and average sized chest I guess...gorgeous as all get-go though. And married...hehe...but I was in sixth grade. Oh well.

I feel sorry for that girl. It is just silly, let her change, something to let her graduate.
-
You all are missing some very important points. 1: she and her mother are Catholic. 2: The dress code rules have probably been in existence for decades, but more importantly the mother by enrolling her daughter in this school, agreed to abide the the codes set forth by the board. Graduation Day would be and is a poor choice to set out and change those rules. I ask you this, how is it different than reading and accepting the terms of this forum when you join, and then have the unmitigated gall to get upset when you are reprimanded for breaking a rule?

Ok i will now jump in on this thread. I don't give 2 shits about religion or whatever, but it is just plain FUCKING wrong to google for stories about overdeveloped [censored] .
Some of you guys probably sit there and jerk off to these [censored] who parade around the jenny Jones show, and that makes me sick.
As Cary Grant said in one fine movie one "when they are above 65 they are protected by nature and WHEN THEY ARE UNDER 18 THEY ARE PROTECTED BY LAW". Some of you guys really have a sick fetish for CHILDREN!
-
You've ID'd everyone here and can safely say that there are no teenagers here...people who are mere 4 years older that might find this a little interesting? Or how about the citizen's of Ohio? Or the Catholics? I will just point out that no laws were broken here.
BTW, the quote you took was asking readers to notice how identical tv and radio websites are because they are owned by media conglomerates. At no point in that quote did he ask us to Google for [censored] breasts.
-
And of course, whoever found this news post could only have been looking for info on teenagers, surely not just looking for anything to do with, say, the word cleavage.
But hey, don't let reality get in the way of your judgements, man. Besides, I'm sure you could never look at a female under 18 and think she looked sexy, because you obviously have the ability to know exactly how old everyone around you is. Oh, if only we were all as talented as you, we could post about how sick everyone else was on the Internet, and all would realize our wisdom. You have much to teach us, O Perfect One.

Well, Whink, my apologies for offending you, but I do have some VERY negative experiences with Christians in my past. But then again, they were mostly Southern BAPTISTS...so maybe Baptists are the ones I should target.
I do find it strange that Christians ( that are TRULY trying to follow the "word" of the Bible ) can be on this Forum or Site. Have I not heard that "LUSTING" after women is a "SIN?" Should Christians not try to AVOID pornography since it is a "sin" and you should be trying to live a life of purity? Just wondering...the Christians I have met would say that YOU are the non-believers and the hypocrites.
Me? I don't consider myself to be a man of any religion. I can't find one that I can trust. No matter what I do, I am considered evil or wrong, so I say SCREW religion!
Name a religion that says smoking, **94**, chasing beautiful, large breasted women, and BLASTING Heavy Metal music is allowed, and I will be a believer and follower. Hell, the only thing I like to follow is women, so I say I worship women! 
Why did I bring religion into this? Simple. I'm fucking tired of religious people trying to control my life or shun things that I admire.
And as far as being cool? Hell, I was never cool. I am just a hot-headed flamer from Hell. Cool? Nah. Smoking? Yeah! 
Sorry, Whink, but religious people have caused me a lot of hurt and sorrow in my life, so I tend to despise them. Maybe I shouldn't blame them ALL, but when I get pissed off, I flame first and ask questions later.
Sorry, for the "friendly fire..."
-
oh it's possible HM. i'm sure i've posted this before... but here's the link again to "Liberated Christians"
http://www.libchrist.com/
God created man and women, and sex... they are all good things. sex is good, even swinging is good. read about it from the site. of course the real sins are things like [censored] and cheating... but even if you're not religious, i'm sure you wouldn't do those things either, right?
-
Religion and I don't get along much. I've had my negative experiences. Bottom line is that anytime an institution, whether it is political or religious, begins to think FOR people it then becomes inherently evil/corrupt. Unfortunately, this is an integral part of both these entities hence their effectiveness. The only real freedom anyone has is the choice to decipher for themselves what is right or wrong.
... Oh and I like boobs a lot. Especially ones that grow.

As well as indiscriminate sex. Heaps of real-world problems with it too.
As for Southern Baptists, I was raised that way (currently not anything, really), they're not as bad as they're made out to be. It's the same old problem, a very vocal few setting the image for everyone. And yes, Baptists can get VERY VOCAL. But, at it's core, it's about feeling strongly about something, and not being afraid to let others know about it. The problem is when people let others know about it at the top of their lungs, and when their feelings just naturally rub everyone wrong...
-
I do find it strange that Christians ( that are TRULY trying to follow the "word" of the Bible ) can be on this Forum or Site.
The Bible is an R-rated book.
A friend of mine from way back was very religious, and not just in the self-rightious hypocritical way but he was a really good person who married his high school girlfriend and who even served in the Peace Corp. But he loved softcore porn and was completely open about this and said that he and his wife watched it all the time.
-
Thats very true, especially the Song of Solomon. Thats why most preachers won't touch that book due to the fact it talks about sex.

...Gee, and I really thought I would never have occasion to find extreme hardline difference with anyone who quoted Cary Grant at any random moment. (I was, and am, actually thinking of making him my avatar. He's one of my idols.)
This post was, in a polite word, idiotic. We were never asked, as Sheber pointed out, to Google anything. And I doubt the poster found it on Google either. You know, some uf do LIVE in Ohio...this stuff DID make the news here, y'know. God forbid someone should accidentally spy something shocking while tuning into the evening news to learn a little more about the world they live in... I'd also like to second Sheber's point that we were never told to Google ANYthing...the link there was provided just as it would be provided for any news story...the pictures on the site (a NEWS site, you'd know if you clicked) just illustrate how ridiculous this story is. And I don't take it lightly when someone comes into a thread here throwing around accusations of jacking off to children. Have you noticed that nearly all of the discussion in this thread hasn't even PERTAINED to the girl, but the general issue itself? That's a VERY serious implication and you need to stop and think twice before throwing out the term "**07**" like an Ace of Spades.

I live in Ohio...the law's different here? Not that I care, it's just interesting that you don't hear about that. Or at least I don't. Though I'd understand why it's something no one would really publicize.

Wow, where the hell did all you people go to school? Heaven? You're all acting as if its unreasonable she got kicked out of graduation for showing a lot of cleavage, AND also putting the blame on Christianity. I suppose most of you were too wasted to even remember the big blurry hangover that was graduation, eh?
Now this story is apparently about an 8th grader. I'm going to tell you something about the HIGH SCHOOL I graduated from. That's grade 12 graduation, not grade 8. And note that my school was not private and did not have any religious affiliation, it was PUBLIC school. I don't know any of their rules for cleavage, since I never had to worry about breaking that rule, seeing as how I'm male and all. But what I did see as extremely stupid arbitrary rules was their rules for guys' facial hair. You had to be completely clean shaven, no beards of any kind at all. And not just for the actual graduation ceremony either, even for the meetings in the gym days before. I got sent home on one of those meeting days because I had like three fucking tiny ass hairs on my chin. And I reiterate, this was a PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL. Considering that stupid ass shit, getting sent home from 8th grade graduation because of revealing too much cleavage seems perfectly reasonable to me.
-
So, did you ever grow that beard?

Yeah, after I graduated I went like an entire year without even so much as trimming the hair on my chin.
Gotta love college, so much better than the lower level schooling.

Well Jizz and Whink, perhaps there is a side to Christianity that YOU got to see that I haven't, and I hope all is well.
I'm still not crazy about religion as a whole, but as long as I don't get flak, then I don't care.
We seem to share an admiration for beautiful, busty women, so in THAT sense, we're all "brothers of the BE Faith!"

I read the link that was posted. What point did I apparently miss?
And I was using my point more in showing the uptightness of the school has nothing to do with religion, because half of the responses in this topic were flaming Catholicism. Its just how authority figures are. And I don't think the cleavage thing is not unreasonable at all. School is supposed to be an environment were [censored] learn, not to "flaunt their goods" so to speak. My own experience was much more absurd than this one was, and mine didn't even have the religous angle. That's why I used it as an example.

I think we've learned the mods can't close a thread just because someone asks. I think this thread's pretty much proven the truth in the old chestnut, "Don't discuss religion or politics in mixed company." It's gotten out of hand, and I apologize again for any part I might've had in it.
-
Though it's veered OT, this thread is still (to some extent) about the original subject at hand, so we'll leave it where it is for now.
In an effort to get it back on track I will mention that the local news here ran a segment on this bruhaha (sp?) last night, in which both the girl and her mother were interviewed. Yes, the girl is quite developed for someone her age, but when she opened her mouth the ignorance that came out of it (and no, I'm not referring to her accent but rather to her use of the language and what she was attempting to say) made her seem like an even younger spoiled [censored] (hard to believe that she's in 8th grade really). Her mother (not a looker) was even worse... she basically insisted that it's impossible 'these days' to find any kind of dress without a plunging neckline of some sort for a woman with big breasts... as if Walmart stores only stocked cleavage-baring outfits for anyone with a Dcup rack. Though her clip was brief, it didn't sound like her mother had much more in the way of language or logic than her daughter did.
Folks can rail against the represive or puritinical mores of her local school/community all they want, but when it comes right down to it local standards aren't unreasonable. The girl didn't HAVE to show off cleavage in order to appear in a class photo, and wearing a dress with a higher neckline wouldn't have infringed on her Consitutional rights in any way so far as I can see. Furthermore (now I'm sounding like an old codger, I knwo) what sort of parent lets their buxom 13 year old daughter go to school ANY day with exposed cleavage sufficient to make a Vegas lounge singer proud? Come on, though she may have the body of a 21 year old, that girl is 13... a [censored] emotionally and intellectually! Who could possibly think that the kind of attention such an outfit would undoubtedly attract would be a positive thing for even the most intelligent 13 year old, let alone one like her? The mother bought the dress and knew it was being worn and sent her off to school that way... the mother is to blame IMO.
You could tell from their attempts to cast themselves as victims during the interviews that some attorney has convinced them that they've got some kind of case against the school or school district. Ah, America!

Well Palomine,
That is the most level headed thing I've heard said about it to this point, so I'll join in now that we're back on track.
1) There's got to be some sleazy lawyer behind all this.
2) The mother should definately have known better.
3) I've seen plenty of dresses she could wear that wouldn't have let on just how big she is (my Aunt Carolyn had to dress my cousin very conservatively to disguise her 12 year old D-cup chest - and she managed!)
4) The girl certainly can't be held responsible for any decisions at all about it (even if she was reasonably intelligent.) It seems to me the mom wanted everyone to see how big her daughter was. That dress left no doubt whatsoever. And it got them on TV!

Hmm. Kind of reminds me of this back on page one...

You all are missing some very important points. ... 2: The dress code rules have probably been in existence for decades, but more importantly the mother by enrolling her daughter in this school, agreed to abide the the codes set forth by the board. Graduation Day would be and is, a poor choice to set out and change those rules. I ask you this, how is it different than reading and accepting the terms of this forum when you join, and then have the unmitigated gall to get upset when you are reprimanded for breaking a rule?

I think News 5 will need to do a follow up on this story when the girl is 18 and able to speak intelligently on the issue....

seriously tho, it's insane and her mom should know a bit better, it's clear she didn't mind the press, and throw on a shawl and the damn dress is fine.

<<throw on a shawl and the damn dress is fine.>>
LMAO! Problem solved.
Are they really thinking of going to COURT with this?? Now I think that's just insane, going way too far. The fact that it's STILL on the news is actually insane too, suing is just beyond lucid thought.
I haven't seen the videos...isn't it a shame that we don't teach our children how to properly communicate? That's not a skill, but a necessity, and the lack thereof will cause them problems for the rest of their lives...and the ripple effect will cause our nation problems for generations untold.

Well, trying to keep Palomine's words in mind, MY arguement was not so much about THIS case, but other cases.
Yes, I agree that a 13-year-old probably doesn't need to dress in a very attractive manner, but you MUST admit that many religious and authority figures seem to have this overall belief that "CLEAVAGE IS THE DEVIL'S TOOL."
I mean, I don't get it. Yes, 13-year-olds probably don't need to dress that way because they are still "children" and don't need to behave in a overtly sexual way ( not to say that JUST showing cleavage is overtly sexual ) but there are cases where even 17 and 18-year-olds get the same ridicule. Hell, even women in their 20's and up get the same treatment. "Showing cleavage is WRONG. PERIOD."
Why?
Why are breasts so "evil?" I mean, REALLY!?!? WHY!?!?
Sure, it creates "distractions" and I'm sure parents don't want their daughters being "stalked" by excessively horny young males ( or Hell, MALES at all ) but I just think that people try to make the whole thing seem like more of a problem than it is. Yes, I'm getting a bit off-topic, but I want to ask. If she WAS 18 and was getting the same treatment, would it be fair or not?
I don't know...I just get tired of this crap when people are saying that any young lady that shows cleavage is doing something "sinful" or "wrong." Perhaps my arguement belongs in a different thread, but this case did remind me of it.
People need to stop being so damn uptight about sex and sexually related themes. PERIOD.

I have never seen that behavior out of anyone (clergy included), with the exception of strict parents. And I've been around a pretty long time...
