Way to make it about you. I think the real problem is that he is a unremorseful child molester.

A long(ish) term celebrity marriage is perhaps a positive mark for Woody Allen and his wife.

And Mary Kay Letourneau is still married to the kid she started raping when he was 12. She's still a rapist and their relationship is still fucked up.

Letourneau was found guilty of raping Fualaau and that was due to his age at the time and her ex-husband's relative tipping off the cops who in turn notified CPS - Fualaau always maintained it was consensual regardless of his age & even his own mother concurred he was no victim in this instance. I have no hesitation in calling her a rapist because she was actually found guilty of the crime. Once a child is an adult, it's not my place to judge their relationship. I still do not get Letourneau and Fualaau just like Anna Nicole and that old ass dude, but that's just me. These folks got married and continued the relationship voluntarily, just like Allen and Soon-Yi. On some level, the continued marriage does strike a positive note in ones favor whether it should or not.

Woody Allen has never been found guilty of a crime. Woody Allen has also never been charged with a crime.

Molestation and rape are two different crimes. To date, Allen is neither a convicted rapist or a molester, regardless of public opinion. I am starting to side with Latta here and think its more the lack of any sort of remorse or even empathy on Allen's part that really pisses people off more, which I can completely understand.

Disagree.

The fact a disingenuous marriage, (one based on rape and the manipulation of child's mind) has or has not ended is irrelevant. It's like trying to argue that the effects of Stockholm Syndrome have a definite given length of time.

I'd argue you're confusing your healthy marriage with a marriage based on brainwashing and taking advantage.

Religious people take advantage of the young to steal their minds. Are you a proponent of this method?

I wasn't aware we knew for a fact Woody manipulated Soon Yi into doing anything. There certainly are some facts that seem to point to the possibility. But that is what is called circumstantial evidence. I am glad you mentioned Stockholm though, because that could be said why she is still with him as a counter to "yo dawg, I heard your heart likes what it likes". I was just thinking that this morning actually. If she was fucked with, why would she stick around. Other than money.

EDIT: I don't think it should be legal to expose anyone to religon until 18, but that's just me. I am so gonna catch shit for this.

KATG is, at the minimum, 90% Atheist. I think you'll be ok.
