Too Stupid to Have Sex
Anyway, I was made known of this case that occurred very recently in the UK. My professor mentioned it in class and I HAD to post it here.
UK courts have banned a 41-year-old man from having sex as he is not deemed intelligent enough, with the judge claiming “it in his best interests” and local authorities ordered to actively prevent him from pursuing any further sexual relationships.
The 41-year-old man, described as “sociable” and well behaved, was accused by his local council of having a “vigorous sex drive” which was inappropriate given his IQ of 48.
He had been happily involved in a sexual relationship with a man he lived with, but the local council disapproved and moved to stop it on the grounds that he was too stupid to give informed consent. He has since been prevented from having any further sexual contact.
However, he requested he be allowed sex once more, telling the judge “it would make me feel happy” and “I want to kiss them again.”
His psychiatrist reported he had limited understanding of sex and that he “believed that babies were delivered by a stork or found under a bush”, and “sex could give you spots or measles.” He even tried to prevent him receiving sex education as it might leave him “confused.”
For reasons which are perhaps not difficult to surmise, he had apparently never had sexual relations with a woman, having only experience with wide variety of homosexual practices.
Further complicating the case was the fact that the man was suspecting of behaving inappropriately towards children on several occasions.
The judge ordered him not to be allowed to have sex any more:
“I therefore make a declaration that at the present time Alan does not have the capacity to consent to and engage in sexual relations. In such circumstances it is agreed that the present regime for Alan’s supervision and for the prevention of future sexual activity is in his best interests.”
However, he did order that attempts be made to provide him with proper sex education so that he might gain the capacity to consent.
PS: None of this material is owned by me. Plus, something to think about eh?? XDFriday, February 4, 2011

Dragon Age Legends
According to developer EA2D, the studio's mission is to make social games for gamers, and Dragon Age Legends aims to bring role-playing and turn-based combat to the Facebook space. You play as a trusted advisor to Viscount Ravi, who asks you to help rescue his son from danger, which of course sends you on quests. Something like how Dragon Age played out.
Unlike
I've been lucky enough to get into the beta - partly due to the fact that I own Origins and Awakening but then again if anyone else wants to give it a try I've got extra keys! With this game, I believe EA is testing to see if gamers bite. After playing it once I can't say whether it will work but it seems plausible that it just might.

Why HTC smartphones are the best among the rest
It saves your life!!!
John Garber from Atlanta, was shot outside of his club. The story doesn't have a bad ending thanks to his trusty HTC Incredible! His phone was in his breastpocket when he was shot and it practically saved his life! Kudos to HTC for perfectly built phones! The man says he'll never buy phones from another brand again, and I think that sort of loyalty is well deserved in this case.
Anyway, a short update this will be. As late as it is, Happy new year all! Oh and for a picture of the "phone of the hour", check it out below.
