When is taking a drunk girl home from a bar and having sex considered rape?

I believe the law states that if a participant is not able to make a choice, whether it be because they are under the influence, mentally challanged or in a coma, then it cannot be consentual sex.

Credit Cards after Death.....
Posted:
10/5/2007 6:03:22 PM
A lady died this past January (2006), and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card and added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0, now was somewhere around $60.
A family member placed a call to Citibank. Here is the exchange:
Family Member:"I am calling to tell you she died in January."
Citibank: "The account was never closed and The late fees and charges still apply."
Family Member: "Maybe, you should turn it over to collections."
Citibank: "Since it is two months past due, it already has been."
Family Member:"So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?"
Citibank:"Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!"
Family Member: "Do you think God will be mad at her?"
Citibank:"Excuse me?"
Family Member: "Did you just get what I was telling you? The part about her being dead?"
Citibank:"Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor."
(Supervisor gets on the phone)
Family Member: "I'm calling to tell you she died in January."
Citibank: "The account was never closed. And late fees and charges still apply." (This must be a phrase taught by the bank!)
Family Member: "You mean you want to collect from her estate?"
Citibank :"Are you her lawyer?"
Family Member:* "No, I'm her great nephew."
(Lawyer info given)
Citibank: "Could you fax us a certificate of death?"
Family Member: "Sure."
(Fax number is given)
After they get the fax:
Citibank: "Our system just isn't set up for death. I don't know what more I can do to help."
Family Member: "Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. I don't think she will care."
Citibank: "Well, the late fees and charges do still apply."
(What is wrong with these people?!?)
Family Member: "Would you like her new billing address?"
Citibank: "That might help."
Family Member: "Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69."
Citibank: "Sir, that's a cemetery!"
Family Member:"What do you do with dead people on your planet?"
(Priceless!!)

First of all you have to be comfortable with yourself. Then you have to accept that there are all kinds out there-----some that are into looks, some that are into personalities, some that want it all. You just have to weed out the ones that don't match what you want----for those that are asking very personal questions before you are ready-----tell them so----if they are interested in getting to know you better---they'll find other questions----if they just want to get their jollies then they'll move onto someone else and you will be the better for it.

Good Question. It is very difficult to meet new people. Have you attended any of the events posted here or on other similar sites. They are frequently held in bars but you don't have to drink-----lots of individuals don't. There is usually a band, friends to see and meet and get to know.

Right to Life or Right to Die

In regards to this previous posting: "For all patients entering a nursing home embarrassed and depressed about not being able to take care of themselves should be given the keys to the suicide room where their choice of methods would be waiting, a gun, drug overdose whatever would be preferable to having to be taken care of by underpaid strangers."
I have worked in long term care for many years and have admitted many an individual that was depressed and embarrassed and lonely and as care givers in that setting we try our best to understand. However I have to disagree that they should be given the keys to the suicide room... Many individuals adjust wonderfully and after having time to meet new people, get familiar with the facility actually enjoy it very much. Nobody at any age likes to depend on other people or feel out of control but it shouldn't be a reason to end it all......
I acknowledge that not every nursing home is what they should be but the major majority of homes are filled with caring, supportive and even loving caretakers...I have seen seniors and even some younger individuals that have needed long term care thrive and come alive.
I agree if you have a terminal condition you should have the opportunity to go out as you choose, on your terms but not just because you are depressed or going through a life change----who knows what tomorrow can bring....................JMHO

Right to Life or Right to Die
Posted:

I feel that I have to address a couple of the comments that I read in here that made nursing homes and health providers out as not caring and only after the all mighty dollar. I'm sure as with any profession there may be some of those out there. I have been a nurse for more years than I care to think about and have worked oncology and the last 17 years in long term care. I have said goodbye to my mother and fought with nurses and doctors and family when it came to hydration near the end.
There are wonderful facilities and nurses and doctors out there that provide wonderful care, including end of life care..... Not everyone is out to make a buck....
I have encountered doctors who tell families that if they do not put a feeding tube in that they are starving their loved ones. I have encountered doctors that have done their best to disuade a family from putting a tube in but in the end proceeded out of the fear of being sued.
The latest research has shown that in fact as part of our natural dying process (if hydration and nutrition is not provided) the body begins to shut down it's systems, releasing endorphins and thus the individual does not feel thirsty or hungry.
I believe that Hospice has been wonderful progress in educating the medical providers out there regarding pain control---but many still fear the lawsuits of family members due to prescribing/administering adequate pain control that may shut down an individuals respiratory system.
I have encountered "loved ones" that go completely against the wishes of their dying family members. Living wills can be overruled (sometimes), once a person becomes unable to communicate their wishes or make decisions. I've encountered individuals that have put tubes in their parents which was absolutely not the parent's wish because they cannot say good-bye. We as individuals need to pick that person that will carry out our wishes.....even if that is someone not related to you---that may not mourn you, and make decisions based on their emotions but indeed make decisions based on your wishes.
I have seen individuals that do hang on because loved ones have not told them that it is okay for them to pass, they fear for those that they leave behind.....we need to be able to say goodbye and to give loved ones permission to leave us.....and remember that it is selfish for us to keep someone on this earth because we will miss them...
I guess to summarize, there are all kinds out there.......
