However the Duke lacrosse rape case turns out, one lesson that absolutely will not be learned is this: You can severely reduce your chances of having a false accusation of rape leveled against you if you don't hire strange women to come to your house and take their clothes off for money.

Also, you can severely reduce your chances of being raped if you do not go to strange men's houses and take your clothes off for money. (Does anyone else detect a common thread here?)

And if you are a girl in Aruba or New York City, among the best ways to avoid being the victim of a horrible crime is to not get drunk in public or go off in a car with men you just met. While we're on the subject of things every 5-year-old should know, I also recommend against dousing yourself in gasoline and striking a match.

Everyone makes mistakes, especially young people, but the outpouring of support for the victims and their families is obscuring what ought to be a flashing neon warning for potential future victims.

Whenever a gun is used in a crime, there are never-ending news stories about how dangerous guns are. But these girls go out alone, late at night, drunk off their butts, and there's nary a peep about the dangers of drunk women on their own in public. It's their "right."

Yes, of course no one "deserves" to die for a mistake. Or to be raped or falsely accused of rape for a mistake. I have always been unabashedly anti-murder, anti-rape and anti-false accusation — and I don't care who knows about it!

But these statements would roll off the tongue more easily in a world that so much as tacitly acknowledged that all these messy turns of fate followed behavior that your mother could have told you was tacky.

Not very long ago, all the precursor behavior in these cases would have been recognized as vulgar — whether or not anyone ended up dead, raped or falsely accused of rape. But in a nation of people in constant terror of being perceived as "judgmental," I'm not sure most people do recognize that anymore.

It shouldn't be necessary to point out that girls shouldn't be bar-hopping alone or taking their clothes off in front of strangers, and that young men shouldn't be hiring strippers. But we live in a world of Bill Clinton, Paris Hilton, Howard Stern, Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman," Democratic fund-raisers at the Playboy Mansion and tax deductions for entertaining clients at strip clubs.

This is an age in which the expression "girls gone wild" is becoming a redundancy. So even as the bodies pile up, I don't think the message about integrity is getting through.

The liberal charge of "hypocrisy" has so permeated the public consciousness that no one is willing to condemn any behavior anymore, no matter how seedy. The unstated rule is: If you've done it, you can't ever criticize it — a standard that would seem to repudiate the good works of the Rev. Franklin Graham, Malcolm X, Whittaker Chambers and St. Paul, among others.

Every woman who has had an abortion feels compelled to defend abortion for all women; every man who's ever been at a party with strippers thinks he has to defend all men who watch strippers; and every Democrat who voted for Bill Clinton feels the need to defend duplicity, adultery, lying about adultery, sexual harassment, rape, perjury, obstruction of justice, kicking the can of global Islamo-fascism down the road for eight years and so on.

This is crazy. (I can say that because I've never been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. Although I did test positive for "Olympic fever" once.)

In no area except morality would a sane person believe he can't criticize something stupid because he's done it. How about: If you've ever forgotten to fill up your car and run out of gas, you must forevermore defend a person's right to ignore the gas gauge. Or if you've ever forgotten to wear a coat in cold weather and caught a cold, henceforth you are obliged to encourage others not to dress appropriately in the winter.

This deep-seated societal fear of being accused of "hypocrisy" applies only to behavior touching on morals.

But we're all rotten sinners, incapable of redemption on our own. The liberal answer to sin is to say: I can never pay this back, so my argument will be I didn't do anything wrong.

The religion of peace's answer is: I've just beheaded an innocent man — I'm off to meet Allah!

I don't know what the Jewish answer is, but I'm sure it's something other than, "therefore, what I did is no longer bad behavior" — or the Talmud could be a lot shorter.

The Christian answer is: I can never pay this back, but luckily that Christ fellow has already paid my debt.

I bet you wish you could claim that was your writing but good job finding it.

Sooooo what you're saying Red is that the girl WANTED and DESERVED to be raped?! Nice guy you are...























































I kid, I kid!

[katana0215]

I've been saying this all along. These people dont deserve what happened to them, but they also should have known better than to put themselves in the situation where it could happen

In regards to the Natalee Holloway case- It's very sad and I feel for the family but what the HECK were they thinking when they allowed her to take a trip to Aruba with her friends (with chaperones or not) as a Highschool Senior.

I never ever would have allowed it. My parents would not have allowed me to go either when I was that age.

My parents woulda let me go. Most trouble I woulda gotten myself into would have been getting speeding tickets on the bike. If my kids grow up to be partiers, they sure as hell won't be allowed out of the house. If they grow up to be typical teens that can think for themselves, then let them go, they need to be "let go" sometime.

Some people enjoy that lifestyle. Most young people do. Unfortunately some have to pay the price to do so and the rest of us have to live with the repercussions. So a carful of high school seniors gets killed every year on prom night while driving drunk! Uh oh, better put a law into effect that makes everyone else's lives horrible by making the licensing age older! Because those kids didn't know that speed + alcohol + prom night adds up to TRAGEDY! Yeah, lets make a law! That'll show those 4 kids who are dead! And the rest of us to who were smart and played the game the right way are STILL fucked. Not only are we put into the same boat as those people but we now have to suffer because of their mistakes.

My girlfriend was talking about a 12 year old kid who could make macaroni and cheese on his own. She was amazed. Then I told her that I used to come home from school to an empty house, start the wood stove, bring in wood and make MYSELF food with the stove. She didn't believe me. It took my mother confirming for her to realize that not all kids/people are as stupid as the people you see on the news. That Natalee Holloway girl was an idiot to travel 800 miles to another country, get that trashed, leave her friends, go home with some strangers, etc. Yeah, it shouldn't of happened, but I don't bring my life savings to north springfield and count it on the sidewalk either. That stripper at Duke should have known better. The kids at that party with the stripper should have known better. That girl in new york that got raped and killed by the ex-con after she spent till 3am drunk off her ass to the point where she needed help walking with no friends with her in a bar? She should have known better. There are bad people out there. Accidents also happen. Shit happens. DON'T THINK LIKE SHIT.

It's not about saying "How can you say that? She/he wan't in the wrong!!!", it's about saying "Any other person would have been smart enough to keep themselves out of an obviously bad situation".

End of rant.

I got your point. I too, was I guess what you'd call a "latchkey kid" and did for myself as you did for yourself.

I didn't do alot of the things that most teenagers do because my parents put the fear of God in me.

Guess that's why I didn't get my first bike until the age of 28!

[richw]

I was latch key at eleven

I also did a lot of stuff I shouldn't have because of lack of supervision till like 6:30 PM



My favorite line drawing is when is it rape.

Semen are rushing down your shaft and she yells stop. Is that rape.

Back up 2 strokes is that rape ?

There has to be a line drawn where a situation has been put in motion to a known end and once having agreed to that your committed.
