Law Covering Sexual Contact With Students Passes House

[Isaac-Saxxon]

I have read all of your post Tracy and all of joepoles post too. You are not even in the same league as joepole. joepole does not have to beat his chest or go on rants to make a point he does it in a way that we all can learn from even when we do not agree. I will give you a E for effort

[joepole]

>you seem to have this overwhelming desire to separate graduating seniors, Graduate school students, Scholars college students, and High School student of or beyond the age of consent from your numbers, just like you wanted to omit the clarifications I made on the water topic.

You specifically mentioned incoming Freshmen:

"a city with about 15-16,000 people and have an influx of about 9000 freshmen, over half of which are totally legal females on their own for the first time and ready to party!AND it happens EVERY fall."

...so my original numbers only included those. I didn't include graduate students because I didn't have the same age/sex/hometown breakdowns for them and they were so small in number (I was actually wrong, about the number, it's more than 61.) I broke them down by age, regardless of school year because the law only applies to people up to age 19. I went up to 20 because that's how the data I had listed the age groups. High school students don't apply because your statement specifically applied only to incoming college Freshman girls.

>I'll admit the number of incoming freshman was considerably larger in my day than it is currently specifically because they have raised the qualification standards at NSU.

When were you there? Enrollment has been increased fairly steadily at NSU from the mid 80s until a few years ago. It never (in the data I have) had Freshman classes near 9,000, however.

Total (male/female/total) undergrads in:
1974-2,307/2,777/5,084
1984-1,955/2,594,4,549
1989-2,379/3,881/6,260
1994-2,866/5,040/7,906
1999-2,807/5,233/8,040
2004-3,198/6,216/9,414

>I am also speaking specifically about people who live within the city limits of Natchitoches.

That's fine, but you should keep in mind that when most people speak about the citizens of a town they talk about something similar to the MSA, not the city limits. I live in Shreveport and I would certainly consider people living out on Ellerbe Road to be in the potential dating pool.

>we are in near total agreement on the issue...

There really isn't an "issue," I was just giving the actual, correct numbers to go along with what you were saying. Yours were way out of line with reality.

1. The bill DOES NOT specify freshmen only. You are arguing me, not the topic, and although not a violation of the rules the admin reposted, it is annoying none the less and why you remain on my ignore list even though I choose to read some of your posts. It's all females, 19 and under I think it was, that are enrolled in school....and that encompasses pretty much over half of the TOTAL posts you've wasted on this subject. Feel free to carry on like you're retarded or something if you wish...we all know better and the chances of me reading two replies if your next one is even similar in nature are slim and none.

2. I realize 10-20 miles in the Shreveport/Bossier area is insignificant but it IS in Natchitoches. That's specifically why I picked MY city and those distances instead of YOUR city and another distance.....AGAIN you are arguing a moot point just for the sake of arguing.

3. I'm not way out of line with reality, you chose to argue my random estimate of the number of citizens this would be affected in a special town with special settings....namely Natchitoches, then attempted several times to justify your pitiful argument by consistently excluding students from 2 colleges and 3 high schools.....and as you can see by Isaac's post, this type of "propaganda" can be quite effective....but you already knew that too, huh?

[joepole]

>The bill DOES NOT specify freshmen only.

I never said it did, You were the one that specified Freshmen-only:

"...have an influx of about 9000 freshmen..."

>I realize 10-20 miles in the Shreveport/Bossier area is insignificant...

I never said anything about 10-20 miles, I said the Natchitoches MSA which is more like what most people consider to be "Natchitoches" when discussing people that live there. I also gave numbers for the strict city limits.

>I'm not way out of line with reality,

You said over 4,500 Freshman girls come to Natchitoches each year. the actual number is much smaller than this so I was correcting your way-off estimate. You then tried to justify your estimate by claiming that the numbers were higher when you were there. I again gave you the correct numbers that showed this was not the case.

Someone that consistently misunderstands and misinterprets clear contradictory evidence shouldn't throw the word "retarded" around so freely.

>justify your pitiful argument by consistently excluding students from 2 colleges and 3 high schools

"My pitiful argument" consists of the actual, correct population numbers, they don't need justification to any reasonable person. I excluded nothing. The numbers I gave included the Scholars College (total enrollment 108). The numbers in the first post didn't include grad students because you had specified incoming Freshmen.

My entire point was that "a city with about 15-16,000 people and have an influx of about 9000 freshmen, over half of which are totally legal females on their own for the first time and ready to party!AND it happens EVERY fall!" is not an accurate description of Natchitoches. I then provided evidence to support this. Then you rambled, changed the subject, and flung ad hominem arguments to deflect the fact that you are unable of admitting when you're wrong, just like when you couldn't read and comprehend LA's castle doctrine statute.

More of your crap that I didn't read after you choose to make your very first point out of pure crap

I did not specify freshman only, I gave you an estimate of the number of incoming freshman. My original statement was neither misleading nor unclear in any way as we can ALL see in your quote of my text. You didn't even bother to add ONLY to my text, dummy!! (see people, I'm trying)

As I have stated in just about every post now, you are creating arguments out of nothing just for the sake of arguing and that's why you'll remain on my ignore list. I specifically asked you in my previous post to refrain from such activity and your post above shows a blatant disregard for my wishes as well as noncompliance with the Admin's wishes to keep threads on topic.

Should I choose, at some point in the future, to start reading your posts again , feel free to remind me again why you were on my ignore list in the first place.


Have a nice day.

If you cannot see that contradiction then I am genuinely surprised you have the motor function to operate a computer keyboard.

>My original statement was neither misleading nor unclear in any way as we can ALL see in your quote of my text.

Correct, it was neither misleading nor unclear, it was just wrong. I corrected it. then you changed the subject.

>you are creating arguments out of nothing just for the sake of arguing

I corrected your erroneous numbers and then you began arguing against my actual, factual, legitimate numbers with ad hominem and straw man arguments.

>feel free to remind me again why you were on my ignore list in the first place.

We all know why, because I constantly correct you erroneous posts.

[Isaac-Saxxon]

Joepole you have it nailed and you can not talk to a tree stump and expect it to listen. Good post Joepole

Correct, it was neither misleading nor unclear, it was just wrong. I corrected it. then you changed the subject.

And we see here you admitting that my number was wrong, but my statement was neither misleading nor was it unclear as you indicated in your initial paragraph....and you have the audacity to use a term like contradiction.

YOU chose to argue a point I never made...namely freshman only, and that's why you're still on my ignore list.

FURTHERMORE, I never changed the subject, it's still about the proposed bill, you CHOSE to argue my numbers, and the number of people you INCORRECTLY thought I said the bill would affect rather than remain on topic. AGAIN, 100% your fault, and I'm pretty sure is a lie as well, because if you read the story then you already knew the proposed bill would affect considerbly more than incoming freshmen at NSU only. I guess it's true what they say about giving a man enough rope.

>you are creating arguments out of nothing just for the sake of arguing

I corrected your erroneous numbers and then you began arguing against my actual, factual, legitimate numbers with ad hominem and straw man arguments.

I NEVER argued your numbers, and I'm STILL not arguing your numbers.

I'm arguing you habitual omission of several hundreds students that are also affected by the proposed law, but do not fall into the category of undergraduate student, AND your insistance that the term ONLY or a synoym of said term appeared in my initial stat. I never made the stipulaation Freshman only, I merely provided aguess at the total number of the largest group of individual affected by the law in my area . Simply put, you've just told ANOTHER lie, the logical conclusion for someone of your ilk.

>feel free to remind me again why you were on my ignore list in the first place.

No, it's because you lie. I'm an adult, more than capable of making mistakes, and value the input of others ESPECIALLY when I'm wrong. Unlike many of you, I appreciate the education process and I'm not ashamed to learn from other

...the "problem" is you're still trying to argue a point.

A) I never even tried to make, and

B) that you have fabricated by intentionally omitting every single clarification I have made where you have expressed an inability to think for yourself.

As I have stated numerous times, you are creating an argument out of nothing. I gave you an inaccurate estimate of the number of incoming Freshmen to NSU every fall, EVERYTHING else is the bull**** lie you're trying to perpetuate here....and look, you've even succeeded in winning the hearts of the three stooges (I guess they've already forgotten about the car seat fiasco, huh)?
