113. Actually, you are now making shit up to justify your irrationality

Tue Jan 10, 2012, 04:13 PM

Jan 2012

The poster said rape is not always rape and gave some examples, including:

1. Statutory rape(17 yo girl and 18 yo boy).
2 & 3. Consensual sex turns to rape when 3rd person finds out or the woman finds our she is pregnant.
4. Woman get mad at lover for something non-related to the sex.
5. Revenge.

NOWHERE did the poster use the word "regularly."

Your response was then an arrogant "Jesus fucking christ, do you sleep at night?"

I then replied that it is a valid point and cited a personal example of someone whose life was destroyed.

This only served to piss you off more.

The discussion is not of existence, but frequency. However, it is clear you would much rather shout out ANY discussion just want everyone fall in line behind you. Those that don't will get your wrath.

Like I said, good thing we are both comfortable with the fact that we are not the other.
