Reply #72: Oh I agree.

But there are some here that are absolutely hellbent on arguing that every single rape victim that has ever existed is a liar that is falsely accusing an innocent man of raping them. Nothing you or I or anyone can say will ever convince them otherwise. In their view, all rape victims are liars and once we accept the fact that ALL rape accusations are false accusations put forth by lying whores looking to make a buck, we can start to deal with the realities: every single person that have ever claimed s/he has been raped is a liar and they should be imprisoned for the rest of their lives. They will stop at nothing less because, in their minds, there is no such thing as rape. To them, the judicial system is stacked against the rapist. I mean, just look at the stats:

72% of rapes/sexual assaults are not reported to the police. Those rapists, of course, never serve a day in prison. <1999 NCVS>

If the rape is reported to police, there is a 50.8% chance that an arrest will be made.

If an arrest is made, there is an 80% chance of prosecution.

If there is a prosecution, there is a 58% chance of a felony conviction.

If there is a felony conviction, there is a 69% chance the convict will spend time in jail.

So, even in those 28% of rapes that are reported to police, there is only a 16.3% chance the rapist will end up in prison.

Factoring in unreported rapes, about 5%—one out of twenty— of rapists will ever spend a day in jail. 19 out of 20 will walk free.

Obviously, facing the possiblity of a 16.3% chance of conviction, or 5% if you count the unreported rapes, the poor rapist doesn't have a chance against the system. The odds are against him from the start. Good gawd, what's a rapist to do?

:sarcasm: The REALLY sad thing is that I have to include the sarcasm tag because some people actually think this way.
