I don't think it would make anyone sane, at least, think it would be okay to duplicate those 'experiments'. Especially if we make known the consequences of doing so. But not using the data, if it can...

I have to agree. I just can't understand why judges and lawyers love to try abuse victims who are defending themselves. If they had been attacked by a stranger in an alley, what's the likelihood that...
First I'm hearing of this, so I'm not sure what's going on, but from the sound of it I would probably say it's good news. The fact that they are even attempting to try those people for this is at...
Religion isn't actually a cause. It's a tool used by fundamentalists, and others. It's a means of controlling other people by appealing to their fears of death and solitude. There are many other...
I think good people can do a lot more than you give them credit for. And 'rising up' doesn't have to involve violence. Let the two factions perpetrate the violence against one another. Meanwhile,...
Yes. And yes. Maybe this will push the "normal" people into finally rising up against the terrorists and fundamentalists. Either way, having the nutjobs fighting each other can only be a good thing....
Love it! Too bad it's fictional. The churches could do with some rational interference.
Between ISIS and Boko Haraam I'm pretty much sick to death of so-called radical Islam. The only upside that I can see is that they tend to kill more Muslims than anyone else. Maybe, someday, the...
I'm in complete agreement with you here. The way people in authority tend to dismiss or overlook these actions is, IMO, criminal. What's even worse is that, in those rare instances where the women...
I wouldn't be so quick to split them, either. For better or worse, social media is running rampant around the world. And bullying on those sites, including threats of violence, rape, murder and...
I gotta go with those who say it's no worse than the other crap that happens in the game. First of all, it's a GAME! If you get your jollies off killing virtual people, running them over with cars,...
It's my understanding that the hooks inside are like the barbs on a fish hook. They don't prevent insertion, but when the rapist pulls back the condom comes with him, painfully, and stays hooked....
The article doesn't make clear whether or not the girl reported the first rape. I would hazard a guess that, even if she had, little would have been done about it. It would have been a "he said she...
I tend to agree, thir. The girl who sexts her boyfriend, or the boy who sexts his girlfriend, are not committing a crime in my view, regardless of what the law might say. The boy, or girl, who...
Probably nothing different than what happened to people like us. Some will thrive, some won't.
Again, some will, some won't. Education is a good remedy for such things, though not always...
The harm is to the sensibilities of the girl's parents, who are trying to deny the obvious sexual explorations of their daughter. I wonder how eager they would be to prosecute the boy who sent the...
I agree, to a point. But such people have placed themselves into the public sphere, and the way they conduct their private lives is indicative of their character. For politicians, especially, who are...
The answers are all around us. Look at the likes of Pat Robertson, Glenn Beck, Bryan Fisher, etc., etc., ad nauseum. They still believe (or claim to believe, to keep the cash flow going) that the...
It's true that he was not the cutting edge. There have been many more instances of misogyny both before and after his rant. He simply went further than most others are willing to go. But he is...
Like any other change, it happens through education. Teaching our kids that ALL people are equal, that women have the same rights and privileges as men, that no one, male or female, should be forced...
LO1121,
The first thing to remember is that, in the US at least, the vast majority of rapes are committed by family members or acquaintances, not by strangers. That does not really point to the...
One of the problems which was highlighted after the school shooting in Massachusetts was that the gun rights activists screamed about using these incidents to further the gun control agenda, saying...
It's important to remember, though, that gender roles are primarily defined by society, not by biology. Sure, there are physical differences between males and females, obviously, and differences in...
I've seen no evidence that this man suffered from any diagnosed mental illness, despite the fact that he had apparently been seen by therapists or doctors. Yes, we like to claim that this is not...
It doesn't have to be considered charity. Maybe it's just him trying to atone for the sins of his ancestors? And basically, that's what affirmative action was supposed to be about, making sure that...
