Reply #339: I ain't nanny-statin' nothin' - I oppose smoking bans, for fuck's sake.

I just want to know who's going to defend people who try to fight and still get beat up.


My post from down-below was about my story of being a girl who got gang-raped by other girls. When you're 11 years old, with a pillow held over your face to the point where you think you're going to die, that has nothing to do with desire for a "nanny-state." That has everything to do with being a child and understanding that the greatest danger to your life is...other children.

I'm not good at fighting. Never have been. It's not one of my talents. Not like I haven't tried. I'll hit anyone who comes after me wildly - but I'm pretty uncoordinated and have bad balance, so I expect any assailant will likely win.

Does that mean I DESERVE to be beaten? On the contrary - I think all the bad karma of assault belongs on the person who STARTED it.
