Gene Simmons and Ice Cube on the definition of rock and roll:

Gene......at some point......ya just gotta shut up.

[Mister Ed]

Y'know, I kind of sympathize with Gene Simmons on this. Rap to me seems qualitatively different. It does seem like there is something to the notion that you can expand the definition of something to the point where it becomes meaninglessness.

Now, it kinda sounds like Gene is actually trying to classify Rap as lesser, which (while I don't personally enjoy it) I wouldn't do. But I do think it is different to the extent that an argument can be made that it doesn't belong in the same Hall of Fame (though it is certainly possible that a single group could perform more than one genre of music, and gain entry to multiple Halls of Fame that way).

Agreed. There are shared roots but even Motown (a direct predecessor to R&B) can be pretty clearly separated from hip hop.

I would

But if the outrage in question is Simmons' prediction of the end of rap, well that's just unrealistic to expect anytime soon.

Well, yeah, that just sounds dumb. It seem like if you look at history you can see that any time somebody predicted the imminent demise of something they didn't personally like, they invariably end up looking like a fool for it.

I sincerely hope that woman NEVER sees her child again.

When I lived in FL, I was in charge of bringing my sister's yellow lab Reebok to and from work. If I had to stop somewhere for five minutes, I closed the Windows, cranked the AC and left a sign on each window saying the AC was on, then locked the car while running from the outside. And those were just really quick five minute stops that didn't happen too often. So, the dog was really chill in the car.

'Dentist of horror' Jacobus van Nierop jailed in France

A Dutchman dubbed the "dentist of horror" has been sentenced to eight years in jail in France for mutilating the mouths of some 120 patients.

Jacobus van Nierop, 51, "took pleasure" in causing horrific injuries to patients in the small central town of Chateau-Chinon, prosecutors said.

He was banned from practising dentistry and fined €10,500 (£8,140; $11,900).

Van Nierop fled to Canada when suspicions arose and strongly fought extradition to France in 2014.

The court in the central French town of Nevers heard that patients had suffered broken jaws, recurrent abscesses and septicaemia from van Nierop's work. He had drugged patients then mutilated them as they slept in his dentist's chair.

Prosecutor Lucile Jaillon-Bru said van Nierop had carried out "useless and painful procedures".

She said his aim had been to earn money through claiming on patients' medical insurance schemes and to take "pleasure at causing pain".

Reports from inside the courtroom on Tuesday said that van Nierop had admitted responsibility, saying he "wasn't interested in people" and could not remember his patients.

One 65-year-old victim said van Nierop had pulled out eight of her teeth in one sitting, telling judges she was "gushing blood for three days... and had no teeth for a year and a half".

Van Nierop appeared to show no emotion during the trial, replying mostly with "no comment" to any questions.

His defence argued he was suffering "psychological problems". One expert said Van Nierop's "narcissistic tendencies" had stripped him of any moral judgment but another said the defendant was "perfectly aware of what he was doing", AFP news agency reports.
'Larger than life'

Van Nierop was arrested in France in June 2013, after the number of his victims passed 100.

However, he fled the country before his trial was due to start in December that year.

He was tracked to a small town in the Canadian province of New Brunswick and arrested under an international warrant.

Van Nierop was many people's worst nightmare, the BBC's Hugh Schofield says.

Like many parts of rural France, Chateau-Chinon is badly served for medical provision, our correspondent says, adding that locals initially seemed delighted by the hard-working and smiley dentist, a larger-than-life character who witnesses said was rarely seen without his "big 4x4, a big dog and a big cigar".

But then the horror stories began. People said they had had teeth ripped out for no reason - they had been given heavy anaesthetic, then left with abscesses and infected gums.

GASP! Do people do it any other way?

[Big Daddy Dave Skywalker]

Reading the actual article, it says it was oral sodomy. Basically they are saying the girl was drunk and gave the boy a hummer which she recalls giving willingly but doesn't remember what happened after that. And since no other penetration could be detected, they weren't going to call it rape. It doesn't sound like the kind of thing to ruin a boy's life over, though I can see where a precedent can start here that let's some scumbag off under different circumstances down the line.

[plastroncafe]

Legally they can't charge him with rape, because that's not how the statue is currently written. Here's to hoping the legislature closes that loophole.

That doesn't suddenly make what he did not rape, and I hope it follows him for the rest of his life.
