Flashing/"Burberry man"/ What's considered assault?

no. you didn't lie. you're probably wrong (i definitely think so), but anyway you didn't lie.

(and for the record... someone conflated one chamber, the house of representatives, with the entire congress (which is both the house and the senate). the whole congress is the branch of government, so of course the house alone wouldn't be co-equal to another branch)

In terms of lawmaking and such it's more of a triumvirate of the House-Senate-Exec. SCOTUS often is not involved.

Anyways its kind of a semantic argument over a general point- The House has significant powers and responsibilities. They aren't some helpless sidelined entity and they can't be absolved of significant responsibility.

Full Metal Jacket is a REALLY dark comedy. Prove me wrong.

So what started off as thread to discuss ...Init?

Mods!!!  .

Ronnie is trying to rail this thread back into good order! Stop him!

Hahaha, DMart trying to imply he's done time  (a holding cell) totally reminds me of George Costanza trying to be the bad boy in The Little Kicks. 

A night in holding is not doing time. Only mentioned it because someone mentioned it being illegal. Anyways lets leave that behind.

After you watched, and I can't imagine not liking, Apocalypse Now try and find Hearts of Darkness, the documentary on the making of Apocalypse Now.  That'll give you a whole other level of appreciation for Martin Sheen's hotel scene where he's losing it.  It wasn't acting.

I have the double disc Blu-Ray and the second disc is just HOD. Yeah, Martin Sheen was super unhinged back then.  Had a god damn coronary making this movie, literally.

Now this is getting REAL off topic, but I went to Toronto Int Film Fest, years back and they showed Apocalypse Now with Walter Murch in attendance.

Who is he? He's the editor of Apocalypse Now. He also invented 5.1 surround sound, of which AN was the first to be mixed in this new "surround" format.

I asked him a question after the movie and it had to do with how much film they had after shooting for years. He said they did the math and they had collectively shot 450km of film that they had to sift through to edit.

For reference, the drive from Seoul to Busan is 400km.

Holy shit.

No it is not assault. It is breaking and entering and indecent exposure.

If he is between her and the door, it's assault.

why did they shoot so much? how many hours is that? how much is usual to shoot for a film?

Wait, is this slowly becoming the "Thread For Pointless Ramblings?"

hahahaha

Play a record.

The production was really chaotic and with the weather in the Philippines, and the director (Francis Ford Coppola [Godfather Trilogy, The Conversation]) having a breakdown in health and mind, and just everything going wrong. So many takes, so much shit going south.

You have to understand that the guy was nominated for

1972: Godfather: Best Screenplay (Won), Best Director (Nom)

In the same year (1974), at the 47th Academy Awards, FFC won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay for Godfather Part II. But that's not all, he was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay for The Conversation.

This guy was on top of the world. When Bong Joonho won this year, it kind of me reminded me of 1974, one dude just raking in the statues.

The pressure for him to make a movie that was good............... .. I can't even imagine. He flipped the whole studio system on its head. Easy Rider made it known that private financing and a self produced movie could work. FFC has always been the artsy type and know one believed that Godfather would be anything. The producers wanted to fire him so many times.

He took forever because he could. He had the money and the time to do it HIS WAY.

all right then, i'll let him off

If he is between her and the door, it's assault.

No, it's not. Unless the guy made a clear threat it is not assault. If he was just standing there flashing, there is no clear threat.

Blocking the door and menacing someone is CLEARLY assault. Dude just put himself between the girl and the only exit and exposed himself sexually. That's an action with threat that is causing someone to fear for their safrty and is being done with intent.

Dude was INSIDE HER HOUSE. He INVADED her property.

Coupled by the fact that he wasn't alarmed in any way when I did make eye contact with him.  Didn't move/wasn't phased at all.  He kept on masturbating, not breaking eye contact at all.  He didn't run away....There was no way my friend and I could escape..he was blocking the only viable way out....If my friend wasn't there in my heart of hearts I do feel like he would have "properly" assaulted me. His behavior was escalating.

These actions, tripled by the fact that he was watching/stalking me makes me consider this an assault.  I've explained this all before
LIC  but you are still on your quest to be right.  At this point I think you are just trying to stir shit up because you have nothing else better to do. 

I'll give you a task cause clearly you are bored:  Why not fix yourself that "award-winning" pulled pork sandwich you bragged about (but clearly Stef's recipe was better), hop on a hammock (preferably with holes in it), and contemplate for a while on why you don't even have a decent slaw to add to it.....and then after that go and make yourself a badge of honor reading "LIVIN' MY BEST LIFE"! Tack that onto your mustard/bbq sauce stained shirt, and call it a day!!! Woo hoo!  Another day in the tropics for LIC!

Wasn't assault. Was home invasion, trespassing, indecent exposure, intimidation.

Annnnnd I just choked on my lemonade laughing. XD

I am honored that you think so highly of my pulled pork and thoroughly amused at how little you think of LIC in this post. 

I want to note that a lot of the naysayers seems to be focused entirely on physical assault. But that isn't the only form of assault. Verbal assaults and acts that threaten physical harm, such as him posturing himself in a way that made her believe he would have sexually assaulted her if she was alone, whether such harm is perpetrated or not, constitute assault in a court of law -- I say this as a person that spent the last year preparing for and taking a sexual assaulter to court, researching the different definitions of assault, and what ramifications would be held against him at different levels depending on which specific allegations they decided to use.

I really did my best to avoid getting into this, but screw it.

Another homework task:

1. Look up "definitions of sexual assault"
2. Realize that the definition varies between jurisdictions and is quite expansive in some cases
3. Conclude that there are most likely some jurisdictions in which this incident could qualify as sexual assault
4. Stop insisting that because the incident doesn't match the definition that you carried to the conversation, only your definition matters
5. Reward yourself with a pulled pork sandwich for learning something new and becoming a bit less of an asshole

Well, like I said a few pages back. Crimes need definitions otherwise the appropriate punishment cannot be applied.

I agree with your post in principle though.

4. Stop insisting that because the incident doesn't match the definition that you carried to the conversation, only your definition matters
