1604: Alienating

[zappbrannigan]

I'm too lazy to read through 5 pages of fighting, so if some of this has been brought up/answered, whatever ;-)

I voted that Chemda's right because if you look at attempted murder vs. marrying your ex-wife's adopted daughter at face value, attempted murder should be seen as being equal, if not worse.

Michael Jackson, Roman Polanski, etc are much worse, but I'm not taking those guys into account because that was not the argument. The base argument is Allen vs. Malley. On the Wikipedia page for Woody Allen, it says:

This seems to imply that Woody Allen wasn't involved with raising the child. It's still "grossly inappropriate" to start up a relationship with the kid when she comes of age, but then is trying to kill somebody not a little "grossly inappropriate" ?

thats my point, exactly (about the Allen thing. im on keith's side on the poll). thanks zapp.

[Keith]

Of course he never signed papers to adopt her. He wanted to fuck her!

[Junkenstein]

alright but that doesnt mean he really abused the kid. its probable, but not as proven as the jackson polanski cases.

makes me think more of the jerrry lee lewis thing.

@Keith

That's speculation. If true, okay fine, he's worse (much worse), but it's not fair to bring speculation into the equation.

EDIT: Also, it seems like if he really wanted to fuck a kid, he wouldn't have waited until she was 20 to start up the relationship.

When was he proven guilty?

[Junkenstein]

he paid the victims so they would drop the suit and then died.

in the end i guess the situation is similar. i just have a hard time envisioning alllen as a child rapist.

[zappbrannigan]

It's not about envisioning Allen as anything. If it came out that he was doing something with Soon Yi as a kid/teenager, I wouldn't be surprised, but as far as I'm aware there's no evidence of that.

I'm comparing the act of starting a relationship with your ex-wife's adopted daughter when she's 20 (and you're in your 50's) vs. attempting to murder a roommate (even if it's in a manner that could easily be thwarted, probably wouldn't have worked anyway).

[Junkenstein]

yeah on that i still think that dropping coke in juice, and not really killing the person, isnt as bad as a michael jackson molesting a child or even a woody allen marrying a stepdaughter way too young for him.

so yeah my vote stays with keith.
