Sheldon Gonzales said he was asleep on his couch Tuesday night when he was suddenly "awakened by a burning sensation in the crotch of his pants," according to a report from the Broward Sheriff's Office.

Standing over Gonzales was girlfriend Berlinda Dixon-Newbold, cigarette lighter in hand.

Gonzales quickly realized the bottom of his shirt, which was lying over his crotch, was on fire. He was able to put out the small blaze with his hands, police said.

When Gonzales tried to leave, Dixon-Newbold confronted him at the door, and a "heated argument" broke out. A neighbor called police, who showed up and arrested the 38-year-old woman for aggravated assault.

16. I'm going to do this once.

You responded to a poster who attempted to point out the double standard with regard to mutilation of the opposite sex. You, for some unknown reason, seemed to think it was appropriate to respond counter his point by pointing out the inadequate sentences for perpetrators of rape and, by implication, one balances out the other. I was attempting to point out that one has nothing to do with the other and that perpetuating another wrong in response to a wrong is also wrong.
