NEWS: Maybe She Wanted to be Raped

I read the entire post. Which has nothing to do with the only thing in your comment with which I took exception, which was asserting that a kid getting too drunk in a bad situation is stupid. The rest of your post has nothing to do with the initial insult to the victim. She may in fact be stupid. There's no way to know from the article. But it is most assuredly remarkably stupid to assume stupidity to be the reason a young girl gets drunk around strangers.

So, right back atcha: Please finish reading a post before going off the deep end.

And as to going off the deep end, try having YOUR wife get raped and then NOT go off the deep end. I will NOT apologize to you or anyone for going off the deep end and wanting these wastes of oxygen out of the way. And I hope it never happens to anyone you care about. It's bad enough with an adult. But, for a child, I can't even imagine. If it does happen to someone in your life, though, I wonder if your very first act would be to call them stupid.

That's all. This thread is infuriating, and ridiculous assumptions about the victim's intelligence don't help.

My apologies, if i had realized emotions ran so high, i would have said nothing or at least put more thought into my words.

No problem. I should have realized you were kind of speaking off the cuff there. It WAS poor judgment, or lack of such, to get kaboodled around a bunch of strangers, but poor judgment or lack of experience with alcohol don't necessarily equal stupidity. In disregard to my previous avowal to NOT apologize, I'm sorry if it came across like my whole comment was in response to yours - only the first part was, which i now realize was merely just a . . er . . . premature literary ejaculation. Please do be careful of your wording if ever you are dealing with a victim of rape, though. The weight of every word is greatly amplified.

Again, I will cite precedent. These are the SG boards. Self righteousness & self absorption are the norm, not the exception... And BTW, thank you all for proving my point and trashing my post like good little sheep. It was very polite of you, especially since I know you hate me. It showed real class, so- thank you again.

Oh, & Bitch Associate's Degree- you haven't noticed because I ususally don't read your op-ed columns (yes, that was an intentional description). I just happen to comment whenever one jumps in my face. I'm not some troll with a vendetta, but neither am I one to bite my tongue when I see something offensive. This particular article was basically fine in and of itself (from a factual and sociological standpoint). It's your basic attitude and tendency towards inflammatory statements that I take offense to (& no, I don't find that hypocritical because my inflammatory statements don't have NEWS written in front of them in all-caps).

Lastly- again for the record- almost all of these people's responses to me have contained much more in the way of insults and hateful invective than my original posts. I never cursed & I never insulted anyone other than the "author" of the original story. So who here REALLY has the problem? Just a thought...

Damn it, Roethke! Again you made the same point more concisely!

Why, because it's true?

So, you're not a troll with a vendetta? Yet you respond to an article that you say is "basically fine" with:

I guess calling you only a troll was giving you the benefit of the doubt, huh?

No, because admitting that what you post is stupid is, well, stupid.

But it's not hard to see why you set the bar so low for yourself. It gives you a target that you might reach someday.

Ignorance: 1, Reason: 0

Bah

You've been here four months and you're an expert on the " cohesiveness of the SG community" ?

thats rich.

Do yourself and everyone else a favor and just zip it.

The comment about Bitch PhD being raped was a joke. J. O. K. E. Maybe you should pick that sense of humor up for yourself, not me. I've personally heard Sarah Silverman say far worse things than that only to be answered with waves of laughter. And once again, the personally insulting tone of your response FAR outweighs mine. Of course, if I were to respond in kind, I would be "zotted" (or one of those other cute pseudo-words). And since you seem to love playing "smarter than thou", take a second and reread this: "These are the SG boards. Since when did being intelligible become a prerequisite for posting here?" Your response: "...admitting that what you post is stupid is, well, stupid." Well, if you have even the most rudimentary grasp of English literacy, you could plainly see that nowhere in that sentence do I admit to saying anything stupid. I'm commenting on the environment, not myself. Genius. Now, do you have anything to say that's not a childish personal insult or a lazy interpretation of a half-read statement? Alright, then. BTW- if I was a troll with a vendetta, I would be commenting on ALL of her articles, not just random ones that pop up in my face. Surely someone who spends as much time on this "interweb" thing as you do knows the difference (and yes, that was a joke). I'm not even going to touch the irony in your "lowering the bar" comment, but if you think about it really hard, you might just figure it out.

And to Chainlink- you know NOTHING about me, so you're only exposing your own ignorance. I've been a member five (5) times since early '03, but I keep leaving because of jealous girlfriends & upon returning always make new profiles since most of my old friends are gone by the time I get back anyway (incidentally, those friends left specifically because of the breakdown of the SG "community", so I'm not making this up). So technically, I've got more time in than you do so maybe if anyone should "zip it", perhaps you should consider the action for yourself, newbie. Cheers! By the way, have you thought about working for the CIA? From the sound of it, you'd fit right in. Hell, you might be a Station Chief in a couple of years if you keep up that level of accurate investigation. Good luck with it...

Quoted for hilarity.

Yeah, i know. That's sort of why it was shitty. Joking about someone getting in raped in a thread about girls who were actually raped is pretty fucking low. Oh, but you think she's a bad writer? I guess that makes it cool.

No, what you're claiming is that you don't have to be intelligible because it isn't a prerequisite for posting on the boards. While that may be true, I think that's a sad commentary and says a lot about you.

And for the record, attacking your statements isn't the same as a personal attack. As for me hating you? You have some pretty big delusions of grandeur.

Pot, this is kettle. Kettle, meet pot.

burn!

Oh, no he di'int! *finger snaps*

Awwww shit son.

Boys raised by single mothers and lesbians also have alot more problems with sexual identity and confusion i.e they experiment with homosexuality and dont like it then are resentful of their gay mothers and the gay comunity as whole for confusing them in the first place. Girls too I've read plenty of studies on it.

Boys who grow up without fathers also have a harder time interacting with men, how they identify with being a man around other men can be difficult for them and they can be shunned as weak and effeminate girly men by other men because they are too feminem in there body language, speech etc. so there fore are resentful to their Mothers for making them "weak" as it were. Again I have read case studies on the subject

My point being there is two sides to every argument and to say that boys who are raised by lesbians are automaticly better off or better people for it is just ridiculous, plenty of boys and girls out there are scarred for the experience of being raised by lesbian and gay parents.

If that wasn't rape, than what the hell is?

This story made me cry a lot.

...I'm not going to make the leap and assume I know the source of this info, Tech, but could you and Bitch both please cite your sources?

It was rape. It's also a prosecutor who's either come up against an unusually tight-knit group of motherfuckers unwilling to turn on each other, or who's nutless. While admittedly not a lawyer myself, I have studied law in the past, and the prosecuting witnesses and material evidence seems strong enough to push forward instead of unilaterally dropping it all.

Here's a fairly recent study, and here's a policy statement.

I'll also point out that it's silly to say that children raised by an opposite-sex parent (or parents) have no same-sex role models; there are such things as teachers, extended family, neighbors, friends, coaches, etc.

...uncles, cousins, grandparents.

= I have to change my identity at least once a year because I keep fucking girls over and they tell everyone what a fuckin loser I am.
