livendive 8 #26 March 7, 2007 QuoteQuoteI wonder if a rape victim in America who happened to be found with a few pounds of marijuana in her backpack would still be charged for possession. It's a separate crime and unrelated to the rape, why shouldn't she? Now, (hypothetically) it would be really crappy to immediately punish her for her crime prior to working the more serious crime that was committed against her. hypothetically. hypothetically, they could deal with the rape, and then punish her later for her crime once she's better composed. hypothetically. That wouldn't happen in real life. The article said 5 of the rapists had been arrested and sentenced to 10 months to 5 years (far too light of sentences according to my thoughts, but sentences nonetheless). The woman has not yet been lashed. I think the law she's been convicted of breaking is sad, but it is also unrelated to her having been raped. I also think American anti-drug laws are sad, but getting raped doesn't give one a free pass on them. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

tbrown 26 #28 March 9, 2007 And we're spending the lives of our youth and our tax dollars to shore up these cocksuckers.....but I suppose they have the oil, so they can get away with it. On second thought, my apologies to the cocksuckers of the world, they make a lot of men happy - keep up the good work.... Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

It's the secular non-religious regimes (like Saddam Hussein's) that are evil. Right, nevermind that virtually all of teh 911 terrorists came from there....... as in, I agree with u.

Lucky... 0 #31 March 9, 2007 QuoteHey Bill I bet her punishment would come to a screeching halt when the person doling out the lashes gets blown in half from over 2300 meters away. Too bad that won't happen huh? Yea, then we have to commit 100's of billions of dollars to fight some RW fear mongering BS war, so let's let the rest of the world fix itself.
