Sky's crime correspondent Martin Brunt said Campbell was arrested on Wednesday afternoon after a woman walked into a central London police station and made an allegation of assault. Police arrested the 36-year-old model at a house in Westminster, central London. She is still being questioned by police, Brunt said. The Sun newspaper reported that Campbell attacked her drug counsellor. The paper claimed the therapist made a complaint after she was "scratched all over her face" by the catwalk model. It is believed the woman Campbell allegedly assaulted was her counsellor. A spokesman for Campbell said he believed there had been a "misunderstanding". He said: "We are sure it will all be sorted out when the police investigate." Campbell is subject to to an ongoing assault case in New York. She is alleged to have thrown a mobile phone at her housekeeper's head in a row at her Manhattan apartment. She failed to turn up to a hearing in September and the case was adjourned until November 15.

Hmm.. not sure about this. I'm not active enough in church to know how this will be responded to. Me, I say what have you got to lose and send it. Thoughts..? Dear Rev. : I received your judgment granting the annulment in the above noted case. While I agree that during the tribunal investigation the judge has the advantage of gaining certain insights, I do believe without both parties participation your insight is not complete. It was my decision not to participate because I took my vows seriously and choose not to mock the union of marriage by creating falsehoods to support a decision that would appease my partner and be able to marry in a church. I understand that it is my right to request any and all documentation used to aid you in reaching this decision and at this time I officially request to review those items. I feel that I may have been defamed and libeled and reserve the right to pursue legal action. I also want to note that I took great offense at your closing comments advising me to seek some sort of counseling. As I stated above you have been privy to one side of the story and as the saying goes there are usually three. His, hers, and the truth. The fact that I have been happily married for 5 years and have severed all ties with my past is in itself a testament to the love and strength I have gained from my faith, congregation, and priest. At the very least I find it ironic that I am being suggested to seek advice on life matters considering the very public scandals involving the Catholic Church in recent times. Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone… I anticipate the arrival of the documentation I have requested in a timely manner. Thank you for your assumed cooperation. Regards,

And the mayor also came in at the end to help out a bit. His signature was needed at the 11th hour was it not? It's been a long time so I may very well be off on the details.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 08:20 PM) Yep -- Blago is a lying sonofawhore. In the latest national report card, Illinois had the largest achievement gap between low-poverty and high-poverty students in the nation in three of four tests in reading and math. One-third of Illinois public schools failed federal academic standards, reflecting a deplorable achievement gap, leaving far too many students behind. Illinois is not keeping its teachers. High levels of teacher turnover and attrition contribute to a shortage of high quality teachers and chronic low student achievement. The national attrition rate for new teachers over a five-year period is 46 percent, and Illinois far exceeds that rate with 58 percent attrition. Jim's daughter is a counselor in Naperville - used to teach, and his son's wife is a teacher in Bolingbrook. They literally have horror stories about teaching and they make s*** wages, IMO, for what they do.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) we should change the title of this thread to texsox vs. steph..... either that or open up a whole entire new subforum for them lol Ehh.. pass. I didn't intend for it to go where it did but my point was being twisted so I wanted to be sure to clear it up.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 08:15 PM) What happened to all that lottery money that was supposed to fund education? It went to education alright, but other funding was taken away. Classic shell game. I was just going to ask that...

UFC is on Spike TV right now. Yikes this stuff is brutal.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 07:43 PM) oh, her name is steff too? Na. I know another Steff and she's real nice. I think I have the market covered on crazy b****es named Steff. Her name is Carol and she's a few years older than me and been re-married for 5 years. She is not happy about being told she should get counseling before marrying again.. LOL.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 07:30 PM) So in other words.... the law doesn't work. Why keep it? Ask someone who has an opinion on ditching it.

Yikes.. she's writing a letter back, and she's pissed. I know this will be hard to believe... but she's more vile and b****ier than I am when pissed.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) So, if they're getting past porn with this law in place... which is either unenforced, unenforceable or most likely both. What's wrong with overturning the law to ensure it isn't capriciously used for the wrong reasons? They are getting whatever is free out there. Something like what was suggested earlier, the .prn extension, might be something to look into.

Sorry for the delay... I just saw this thread. "Eff me sideways with a lunchbox." New fetish among football players...?

Tex I don't need to nit pick anything. Every post in this thread from me has been crystal clear and involves Alex and the Rangers and nothing to do with the Yankees. Ironically, the same exact thing Jason stated several time earlier in the thread: rolleyes. I'm sorry you can't comprehend that. Maybe you can get that nosey accountant who sticks his nose into your scouts families financial matters to clear it up for you. You have a lovely evening as well.

My girlfriend who's stupid ass abusing (convicted twice) ex-husband filed for an annulment cause he apparently found some stupid ass skank to marry him and because she didn't give a s*** she didn't participate, just got a letter back today stating it was granted. She emailed me this part of the letter... "The information in your case indicates that it would be beneficial for you to consult a priest, deacon, or other pastoral minister in order to come to a fuller understanding of the Church's teaching regarding marriage. If you have not already done this, the tribunal recommends that you do so in the near future before any marriage" LMAO... This coming from the orginization who hides child molestation. Her questionable actions during the marriage included once leaving him to rot in jail after a beating that left her in the hospital for 4 days, and another time throwing his belongings into the street after he beat and raped her. He claimed she "abondoned the marriage". Uhhh.. no s*** sherlock. I hope his little floosey saved a little cash to pay for the divorce she will likely be filing within the next year or so.

QUOTE(GaelicSoxFan @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 04:40 PM) Big Jim Thompson. I liked him because he usually put partisan differences aside for the good of Illinois. And he kept the Sox here.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) Honestly, you should bring that up at a library board meeting (or to someone on the board). You pay for their services, so give them your feedback. We have over and over again. They claim they aren't the parents and it's not their job. It's a catch 22. You send your kid to a safe place like the library to do research for school and this is what they are faced with. They tried filters but then the adults complained. QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 04:51 PM) Public schools can filter internet access. If they don't, maybe as a parent who gives a crap about your kid seeing such things - you should go to a school board meeting and insist on it. And there are filters - in Plainfield, Naperville, and Bolingbrook I know for sure - but still I know kids are still getting at porn. My step-daughter and daughter-in-law have some horrendous stories from the schools they work at about catching kids IN CLASS viewing porn. It's unreal.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) Which money amount are you talking about? Go read every post I've made in this thread. It's crystal clear.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 04:13 PM) Then why, with all that fan fare and bold red letters post that quote? It was already linked over and over again that the Rangers have to pay. No one disputed that. red and bold. You must really feel silly now. Mainly because you kept stating that 1. the monetary amount could be changed if he was traded and 2. that the money did not follow him because it was paid to the Yanks, so I wanted to be sure that you were aware that you were wrong. I don't feel silly at all. Why would I. Exactly what I stated is exactly what is being done.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 04:12 PM) Don't parents have to sign off on usage of the internet there? I know mine did in high school and at the library while I was under age. I wish they had to at the Plainfield one. Every time I go in there the group of boys at the terminals is a dead giveaway as to what they are doing. We also have a mini community center next to the fire house and they have access in there with no supervision that I've ever seen.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) But parents can buy products to regulate their own internet network, much like parents can set their tv not to play certain channels. If a parent is to lazy to do this, then I dont care what their excuse is. Most children know how to use a remote, know how to click the "Video on Demand" button, and then know how to get "late night entertainment" which broadcasts 24/7 on almost every cable movie network. I think the comparison to not allowing children to eat at fast food places without parents permission is pretty much the same. When I was a child from the ages 8 up, I often was able to walk to food places, white hen, etc and buy whatever the hell I wanted. My parents had no control over what I ate, outside of limiting the money the gave me. But a parent can limit the internet access they give the child. What we have here is a failure of parents to be proactive. They want some one else to raise their child because they couldnt be burdened. What's to stop them from accessing porn from their friends house who's parent isn't as responsible or some other location? My sister's daughter knows how to use the PPV, and while she doesn't live at my house I have a block with a password because she visits often. I don't ever recall buying my own food unsupervised until I was around 9th grade and had a choice between mac & cheese or greasy pizza in the school lunch room. I think your stereotyping is unfair and uninformed. Assuming.. oops, I mean ASSuming , in this situation is not fair because while a parent may be doing all they can to stop their child from accessing porn it doesn't guarantee they aren't accessing it somewhere else.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 03:27 PM) OK Steff, you win. This and every other debate we may have in the future. LOL you are priceless and I love you for it. Boy.. you sure are a piece of work. Just because it says they are paying it doesn't mean they write an actual check and mail it to his house. Men who owe child support pay the state and they forward it on... doesn't mean they don't owe it or pay it to their ex's does it. Lame example but the only one I can think of at this moment. Is it hard to breath from so high up there on that horse... :rolleyes.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 03:40 PM) Where exactly is a kid going to go that will get them unfettered access to the internet other than a friend's house? Seriously, because whenever I need internet access to check my email on the road - I always find myself out of luck. Isn't that enough? If it's not at home the parent can't stop it can they? With food - what a crazy comparison - until the "child" is paying for their own food a parent is filling them with things they choose. While in Hawaii Jim and I found free internet access all over the place. QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 03:42 PM) I'm not convinced that sexual behavior is really as out of control as it is portrayed in the media. I look back at my friends and how sexually active we were (or really weren't) when we entered college (6 years ago), and I think that the hyperpromiscuous teen is still in the minority. With D having just turned 6 and my "granddaughter" , , just 3 months old I have somet time before I have to get worried with that stuff.

Thanks to computers everywhere accessible to anyone it's way easier to control a child's diet than to control what they view on the internet. Sad. QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) That's an interesting link, but how do we know that the music/tv/culture/etc is what's making kids violent or sexually active? Could it be that kids who are interested in that stuff are just DRAWN to those types of media? It's an interesting article, but it doesn't have any real scientific or research credibility--which is what people need to make claims like, oh, it's the fault of porn or music that's ruining society. I agree re the credibility. Though I can only speak for me and my childhood.. I didn't have half the exposure to the things "kids" today do and like I said above sex was unheard of in my social circle at the age it is now.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) I'm calling bs on that. I need to see some stats (from a reputable journal) linking porn and teen pregnancy, STDs, and age of first sexual encounter. I don't buy that argument AT ALL and I would like to see some scientific support for your claim. Hey Soxy, not sure if you would call this reputable cause it's not a major health mag or hospital linked study. But some of the figures are down right frightening. And it actually makes arguments for both sides being duiscussed here. http://www.focusas.com/SexualBehavior.html QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Oct 25, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) Well then, maybe the government should fund research into treatments that would retard puberty until they reach the age of majority.... after all I hear that puberty is a major factor in encouraging kids to experiment with sex. And we have to think of the children! Thanks to a lax social climate, busy parents, and pushing the envelope tv shows, IMO. Back when I was dealing with puberty sex was the last thing on my mind and I can remember like it was yesterday the first time sex was actually introduced to me - not the actual act, but the talk of it - and it was loooong past the age it's at these days.
