“thou doth protest too much.”
Its all about standing up, or sitting down. I prefer to stand. You will learn you get through life by standing up for your actions. Not making excuses.
“If this kid gets turned in and he goes to prison as a sex offender, thanks to you, his life will be totally ruined and miserable.”
No, he will have no one to blame but himself.
“at least not in anything other than in a technical statutory sense.”
Hope my opinion is not keeping you from partying? Sounds to me you do not like your idea of fun to be exposed for what it really is.
“Was she taken advantage of? Yes. Did the boy exercise poor judgment? Definitely. But was this rape?”
YES. Plane and simple. Again, it sounds to be you are trying to justify your own actions.
“In other words, you admit to rape yourself.”
No, if you read it I knew when to stop. Meaning, as much as I wanted to (have sex with her) and could have.
I knew better. Ya need to re-read. Besides you know what I meant, but it was a good attempt at re-direction.
“Do you think you would be a better man today if someone in a public forum had said “BURN him!” and precipitated sending you to prison?”
A better man today? If I was a rapist, and burned. It would be a better world. Not about me being a better man. It’s about preventing it from happening to anyone else.
“Really? How did you manage that? Do you live in the Congo or something?”
What bubble do you live in? You need to get out, out from in front of your playstation. It is a beautiful world out there.
But, it will bite you one the ass when you do not pay attention. You apparently have plenty to learn. Hence the term “lazy boy”. And, it was not directed to you. But I can see you seeing it that way.
“If that isn’t pure psychological projection, I don’t know what is.”
Like I said, you have plenty to learn still.
“Anyway, I don’t think its cool to go around shouting “BURN him!” ”
This is a forum. Not a court of law. A place to allow to express how you feel and what you think. No one is going to burn anyone. You do know that?
That would make Fluther a very powerful.
“especially not when you, by your own admission, are guilty of an even worse sin.”
Well, you are allowed your opinion as I am. But you need to do a better job of reading,
and don’t take it too emotional or personal.
Rape is wrong, no matter how you justify it being right. Or as you call it, “a status crime” or a “technical statutory sense.”
