323. I hear what you are saying
But so far I have received only a couple of responses regarding this supposed minority of DUers who justify rape. I mean out of 80,000 registered posters, a couple certainly do not represent a minority. In fact, it would be considered statistically negligible. I was more referring to the people who condemned people like myself who were urging caution and intellectual honesty instead of reacting from the gut about a situation that seems to be more complicated by the day.

There is no excuse for rape, plain and simple. I am hardcore on issue of murder, rape and violence and think that people who do these crimes need a helluva lot more time in jail than they are currently receiving. Because this subject, by it's very nature, is so emotionally charged and has alot of power with alot of people, we need to be extra cautious about some of the conclusions people reach on these boards and to actually read what people write before they are lumped into the very few individuals who either are: 1. Mentally ill 2. Freeper trolls trying to stir the pot 3. Attention seekers or whatever who claim that rape is sex.
