Well, I am Chinese and I always get stopped by them to ask for my name/number on the streets...what is up with that? Or they will just try to start a convo with me at random places and say how I have nice eyes,etc...
But I never see Caucasian men more approaching except of course...at nightclubs/bars. However, you kinda see them in public and they will secretly stare at you but NEVER does anything but look until you are out of sight. There might be one that comes along every two years or so.Lol.

I DON"T mean to sound racist(If that is running through your minds.). I am just curious and I want to get into their minds on why one differs from another, that's all!

Believe me I am NOT, and I repeat NOT a pedophile but sometimes when I am driving home from work and I pass the middle school, some of the girls dress so provacatively and are wearing tight little miniskirts or short shorts and some even have their thongs sticking out. We are talking 7th and 8th graders here. I feel guilty for EVEN looking at them walking on the sidewalks but some part of me notices that they are physically mature as an 18 year old, and I do get a little aroused but I NEVER EVER act on it but is even looking guilty? I mean is it wrong to notice or look even? Maybe I am just shocked cause when I was in middle school, I never ever seen girls dresssed like that. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

I watched both Datelines "to catch a predator" as well as the Debra Lafave media hype.

I think that these two situations are not the same and that there is a double standard both due to my gender, the gender of the "predator" and the gender of the victim.

First of all I find it ridiculous that law enforcement bothers to set up sex predators by egging them on - pretending to be young pre/ post and pubescent girls who are "virgins" and "horny".
That is ENTRAPMENT - similar to calling up people and telling them that the bank is giving out free MONEY - and then arresting them when they show up.

For EVERY 1 "predator" the law catches there are at least 500,000 who are not caught - and at least a million who saw the Dateline special and won't be stupid enough to get caught in this manner - rather, they'll end up soliciting known hookers in their communities.

I am extremely worried. Observing the American (the U.S.) economy and the world's, it looks like we all are heading into something.

Clearly notable, the American economic growth and the money spending has been decreased from theAmerican mini-golden ages during the late 1990's.

Not only that, but also there are very costly war on Iraq and war on terrorism, that does not seem to be over on foreseeable future.

I have a bad feeling that the American economy is going to have some harsh times ahead (and consequently, the world as well).

The most critical problem is, the majority of people do not take this seriously.

Do you agree? If or if not, then why?

I refuse to believe all of this political, lawyer rhetoric and manuevering by lawyers to claim that the boy that Debra Lafave had sexual relations with was "adversely affected".

When I was 16 -17 i had two female teachers in High school throw themselves at me. #1 was a 25 year old English teacher named Janelle and the other was a 35 year old Social Studies teacher named Loran.

Janelle was not attractive at all. She had boring hair, ugly toenails, and 2 crooked teeth (I think they were bicuspids or canines) and she had huge DD pancake breasts that were bigger than me almost. I told her I wasn't interested and she stepped off.

Loran however was young looking for 35, was a small White/Jewish woman - about 5'7 with nice gold hair, pretty eyes and a small body and frame like what you would see on a GIRLS GONE WILD commercial. She and I carried on a sexual relationship for over a year - we made love numerous times andI got the feeling that she generally loved me.
