I think that authority figures are quick to jump on issues such as “sexting” and they are even quicker to ban them. Not only is your point about a nude picture being equivalent to face-to-face nudity true, but also, you tapped into a subject that I am quite passionate about – education is worth more than avoidance.

If parents would take more time to explain to their children the problems that could arise in the future from sending nude pictures to each other instead of banning everything that poses as a threat, I think we would all be better off.

I know that I have been informed well by my parents about the dangers of acts such as sexting – although maybe they didn’t specify this act, in particular, during our discussions – and I, personally, have never felt the urge to send anything even remotely pornographic to another person.

Roth: You are lucky to have intelligent parents. But, if your mother and father did not teach you about the nature of danger, maybe the best lesson would be a police officer smashing your door, stripping you naked to search for nude pictures of yourself that you may have hidden, and throwing you in prison. After all, you would be a hardened criminal.

Roth: Extending this futile conversation would be a horrible mistake.

Roth: You are correct. I should agree with everything anyone says. And, I ought to accept unwarranted locutions, like “You are 100 percent, absolutely wrong Jake.”

Roth: I meant Johan Backlund. That was a really dumb mistake. Thanks for pointing it out, Bob.

Roth: You’re right. I did!

This year, Matt Kemp has a better OBP and Batting Average than Ichiro. Plus he has way more homeruns, RBI’s and Runs scored than Ichiro.

You are 100 percent, absolutely wrong Jake. Matt Kemp is far superior than Ichiro Suzuki, especially today.

Roth: If you are referring to Kemp’s first 14 games this season, then you are correct. But, such a capricious judgment has no merit. Based on your argument, Alex Gonzalez is the best shortstop in baseball. In an ideal lineup, I would still prefer Ichiro as the leadoff hitter to Kemp or Guerrero. I am not inflexible, however. If Kemp has a significantly better year than Suzuki, I would certainly re-evaluate. Yet, I would not do so based on irrelevant statistics, like RBI and runs scored. And, since when are home runs an important consideration for a top of the lineup batter? Here’s a tip for you, Kevin. Quit proclaiming absolute certainty on an issue that is debatable. It just makes a weak argument seem weaker.

Roth: At least Mayers plays physically.

Roth: You’re looking at a hypothetical question practically. The query concerned a woman who would have equal qualifications to men.

Roth: Thank you for writing on behalf of yourself.
