wanna be drummer Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 So they don't have the same rights as other people? And somehow it's alright to be inconsiderate and cruel to them when talking about their personal lives? I think they are public fodder because the public shows poor judgement.The justice department sure as hell doesn't think so. Celebrities could kill people, have it become common knowledge, and still walk off scot-free. Ever hear of OJ Simpson? Celebrities can't be treated as eqals with commoners if they don't start acting like commoners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaughterOfZeppelin Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Celebrities are human beings and ought to be considered as such, not simply as targets for every ugly emotion that people keep buried inside. As for what is extremely offensive, I would consider the remarks in this thread about pregnant celebrities to easily fall into that category. But there is the hypocrisy. I have sympathy for her I really do, however I feel still that she's using her pregnancy as a means to further her fame and finances. I don't really know what your point is anymore, I guess that no one should be allowed to voice that opinion? By simply being here, involved in this discussion, you're being a hypocrite. And what's offensive is you implying that people who have an opinion on a celebrity matter have a disregard for human life. That's quite a stretch even for the dramatic.

DaughterOfZeppelin Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 So she should not have a career and means to support her child? I certainly hope she is considered worthy of having a life, her life, without falling prey to the dictates of others. What's offensive is the disregard for human life on this thread. She absolutely has a right to have a life and career, no one's denying that. The fact that she's using her unborn child to make a profit is what's revolting. Also, just so you know, there is a thread about Oprah a few spaces down, better hop on over and make sure everyone knows about her rights as a human being too.

zepyep Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Hi all, LOS ANGELES — Jamie Lynn Spears may not be the only one who is expecting. Casey Aldridge, the boyfriend Jamie Lynn says got her pregnant, could also be "expecting" — a visit from people wearing badges. The Internet is abuzz with the question: Since Jamie Lynn is 16 years old, does that make her a victim of statutory rape? If Casey is indeed the dad-to-be, and the blessed event took place in Jamie Lynn's home state of Louisiana, then the act could be classified as a "Felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile," defined as "sexual intercourse with consent between someone age 19 or older and someone between age 12 and 17." However, some reports say Casey is 19, some reports say he is 18. If Casey were tried and found guilty, he could face a maximum possible term of 10 years imprisonment, possibly with hard labor. According to Louisiana Revised Statutes 14-80 and 14-42, an individual can legally consent to sexual intercourse when he/she is 17 years of age. And in cases (such as Spears') where the victim is 15 or 16, the defendant (Aldridge) must be no more than two years older for the sexual intercourse to be legal. "It states clearly in the Californian Penal Code that any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor (under 18) who is not more than three years older or three years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanor and faces up to one year in a county jail," said criminal defense attorney Jim Hammer. “But if Aldridge is actually more than three years older, he could be up for a felony, which carries a maximum three years in prison.” According to the code, "unlawful sexual intercourse" is an act of sexual intercourse accomplished with a person who is not the spouse of the perpetrator, if the person is a minor. “Police can openly investigate the case, but the biggest challenge would be to determine [in] what state the act actually took place,” Hammer said. However, criminal defense lawyer Christopher Darden says charges are unlikely. “The father of the child may have committed a criminal offense or misdemeanor by having unlawful sex with a minor,” said Darden. “But unless the complaint is filed from the minor’s parent, it is unlikely that this will be taken further.” The New York Post cited Aldridge's age as 18, and Deputy Sheriff Jimmy Travis of Tangipahoa Parish, La., where the Spears family lives, told the paper that Jamie Lynn and her boyfriend didn't break any state laws if they conceived in Louisiana. "From my preliminary investigation, she is 16 and he is 18," he said. "If, in fact, it happened in the state of Louisiana, that does not violate any criminal statutes." He said the age of consent is 17, but that officials don't prosecute if the two are no more than 24 months apart in age. "Sixteen and 18 is OK, 15 and 19 is not," he said. A rep for Jamie Lynn declined to comment on the pregnancy reports, which appeared in OK! Magazine on Wednesday. "What is in OK! is their story," said the spokeswoman. "We cannot comment on its accuracy." So much good news,......... Edited December 21, 2007 by zepyep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IGG Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) It passes the time but oh excuse me Paula Deen is making a holiday recipe on the food channel and it looks good. She's got sugar all over her from sampling and said she had to get rid of the evidence during the commercial. Oh wait, sorry this thread is about Jamie Lynne Spears. Your endless sniping about threads being, or not being on topic is off the charts, and is boring the pants off of a good percentage of the frequenters of this board.

Electrophile Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 ^^If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. No one here needs to be lectured by you on the sanctity of human life. If you don't like people making comments about celebrities, stay the hell out of threads about celebrities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Maybe this thread should be closed. Even the title sucks. Maybe you should stay out of the thread if you don't like it. No one is forcing you to reply to any post contained therein. If people want to discuss this, let them. If you don't want to discuss it, leave.
