Was this the perp who rapped her? I think I heard about that on the news. She said something about "Hammer don't hurt em."
No seriously. We consider the bartender who over-serves the guy who smashed his H2 into a van full of kids to be culpable, who is to say the women who fails to report and/or cooperate in a rape investigation isn't culpable if the rapist is able to rape again as he wasn't caught the first (or likely 10th) time. Don't say it hasn't happened. I'm even thinking there were some lawsuits in some form between women who were victims of the same rapist. (I'll research this, love that sort of shit. ((The case research, not the rapes..)))
I'm just glad I'll never get rapped, can't stand Hip Hop.
DAMN IT! My wickedfire debating career just went out the window with that one misspelling lol.
That would be pretty horrifying though...
No shit, the guy always had a posse with him. You'd be the gang bang champ of the world after that rapping.
We'll forgive you because your avatar is fucking GREAT!
Alright, back to the matter at hand. The scenario you describe isn't a one for one exchange though. The bartender serving drinks is both fully aware of his choices, and not the victim of the crime. Situations like these are not as black and white as you make them out to be. While it would obviously be best if the girl reported the rape, I don't think any of us can judge her for not.
What if it were your wife or girlfriend who was next. Would that affect your judgment? This happens a lot more than you'd think. I'm not saying it's right that the victim be compelled to report it, I just think that in our imperfect system, the only chance we have to get anywhere close to true justice is to adopt the attitude that we're all in this together, one for all and all for one, even if it hurts the one emotionally.
Maybe the bartender example was not close enough, but here is a situation that I think is close, and happens daily...
Wives no longer have the say on whether or not they "press charges" if they're hit or abused by the husband, yet the police are mandated to charge the husband (if there's evidence) if the wife cooperates or not. Now this logic can be applied in the raped woman's favor, even under my ideas, but the opposite is also true, the woman doesn't need to consent for the police to gather as much evidence as they reasonably can, than pursue the rapist. If that means they charge the woman with failure to report a felony/crime, then so be it, assuming the crime comes to light.
We're all in this together, are we not. Why should one group suffer to protect another? Isn't that what our bill of rights, civil rights amendment, and a host of other laws are designed to do?
Why should a child suffer to protect the convenience of a woman? My position is the child shouldn't suffer. Abortion as birth control is simply wrong.

Seeing as we're in one of the funny interludes, before things get serious again, I've just gotta know: How long till this thread merges with the Skittles thread?
(I'm going to hell, aren't I?)
I was actually going to post a link to some Tshirthell Tshirts, but they're no longer available *sigh*

Generalizations
Just saying I wouldn't have missed any thing if I was. Who knows maybe I would have been born to someone else. Open minds see possibilities. Closed minds only see problems.
