Wait, we are condemning those comments? We can't do that, we might lose our credibility as one of the top internet rape joke troll sites.

I like America, it's a country where they might execute the mentally ill but on the other had they also vote them into positions of great power and responsibility.

Here, we don't execute them, instead we make them perform for our entertainment.

It's a lot more entertaining if there is power and responsibility at stake in their performance. It adds the the suspense. :coffee:
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Betty: Well, it's been awhile since we had a little cuddle.
Yellowbeard: I raped ya, if that's what you mean.
Betty: Okay. It was half-cuddle, half-rape.

...

Yellowbeard: I'm sure I killed the last one I raped, it can't have been you.
Betty: Well, the afterplay was a bit on the rough side, but not fatal dear.

...

Yellowbeard: Oh, been out raping, lad?
[sees Troila]
Yellowbeard: Nice work lad.
Dan: No, I haven't raped her!
Yellowbeard: [disappointed] No, you wouldn't have you poncy little git! You're not the prawn of my loins, your mother's a bloody liar!
[grins]
Yellowbeard: That's what I liked about her!

...

Betty: When little Dan came along...
Yellowbeard: Who's Dan?
Betty: [indignantly] My and probably your son!

...

[Betty throws a book Dan had been reading on the floor]
Betty: Read, read, read, read! Let me tell you something - last time I read a book, I was raped. Let THAT be a lesson to you.

...

Betty: If there's one thing I've learned, it's learning things never taught me nuthin'. And books is the worst.

...

Yellowbeard: She's yours, is she then, Dan? Let me have a bit of a prod at her first.

There is a difference between saying if you didn't want sex you wouldn't get pregnant (a medical statement) and a discussion on whether there are different levels of rape or when in fact rape actually occurs.

All countries either have different legal levels of rape or at least have very different sentencing guidelines, in the UK sentencing can be a few months to life imprisonment depending on the circumstances. Consent obviously isn't a black or white issue. Someone may get drunk and legally consent to sex when they wouldn't do so if they had been sober but if the courts and/or the man believe enough brain cells in the women were working its not rape.
When only criminals carry guns the police know exactly who to shoot!

What Adkin wanted to do, I think, was deny access to the morning after pill to rape victims. Seems it's their choice whether or not they get pregnant, and anyway it's probably just an excuse to get the pills free, the lazy bitches.

Rape?
If you'd woken her up the next morning with your lips on her clitoris, she may well have called the cops and had you classified as a perv. Not many dudes do that...

But when Assange wakes someone up with surprise sex, she might press charges because she's really a foreign agent or otherwise involved in the witch-hunt that has it out for him.

"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
That would be interesting if true, and I've never heard that before. Unless he misunderstands that human females unlike most other animals don't display their fertile times.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

In this case, George Galloway is 100% accurate.
What Assange is accused of isn't rape, it isn't even a crime in Britain, or the US.

In Sweden they have a joke. It's " that counts as rape, in Sweden ". If, for expample, you brush against a woman, they say, "that counts as rape in Sweden".
Because if you don't get a signed consent form, and ten good witnesses, virtually every instance of sex counts as rape in Sweden.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.
