In reply to the discussion: ‘I was targeted after I made Assange sex crime claim’ says accuser of Wikileaks founder [View all]napoleon_in_rags
(3,992 posts)Hmm. How about I read about rape statistics:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics
And I pick a random stat. How about this one:
Other research has found that about 80,000 American children are sexually abused each year.[9] It has been estimated that one in six American women has been or will be sexually assaulted during her life.[10] Largely because of child and prison rape, approximately ten percent of reported rape victims are male.[11]
Now dividing 80,00 by 365, I discover that 219 children are sexually abused in the US each day. But to be really vacuous, I decide to ignore ALL of those cases, and focus on an overseas situation, which was originally reported as consensual sex without a condom, involving a whistle blower journalist, who reported information leaked by Bradley Manning showing the murder of journalists.

I then try to cop a self righteous attitude about ignoring the 160,000 US children assaulted since the time of the Assange allegations, by focusing on this one vague case involving a whistle blower as the only rape case worth talking about.
Seriously, how's that for vacuous? Did I win? Did I make a more vacuous post than before???
