When is rape not rape?

Re: When is rape not rape?

Evasion I see. Well, thanks anyway.

Re: When is rape not rape?

LOL

I clearly saw you were not happy with the silent/pleasant ending. And were trying to ignite that again.

Your question did not need an answer from me.

Welcome.

Re: When is rape not rape?

Well pal, thing is you kept going on about rape is like this. All the endless paragraphs of your former posts account to nothing if you can't even tell us what your definition of rape is.

It is called backing up your claim. Ya feel?

Re: When is rape not rape?

Nope. Not at all. Never said or 'claimed' I had any intention to define it. I only talked about what it 'might' not be (Myths) or be questionable (splitting hair) in my posts to make it a balanced discussion .

As a person of some knowledge you do not need my definition (there is none) what should rape 'clearly' looks like do you?

It does appear you want to drag the discussion for no real reason that anyone can benefit.

BTW: This is the second time you wrote 'us'. How many are you posting? j/k ;)

Re: When is rape not rape?

i think he meant us.. as in everyone reading the thread...

Re: When is rape not rape?

This is rape:

"any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person"

lets not make our own definitions.

Re: When is rape not rape?

You don't have to explicitly state that you have an intention to define it. I'm saying you made a claim of "rape is rape when it looks like rape" <- this was your claim. You did not clarify what rape is. So you cannot say rape is rape when it looks like it if you can't define rape. The description of rape is imperative to the claim you keep repeating. Otherwise the rest of us (us being the users of GS who are reading this hogwash) are left confused.

Definitions of rape vary from person to person (as you may have noticed in these threads).

I'm not dragging this discussion. I'm saying if you're going to make a claim, then back it up.

Re: When is rape not rape?

Again I never made any claim to define. You assumed I claimed that.

In cases where it is claimed that rape did occur, what do you want to see as rape being clearly committed?

The judgment definitely will depend on irrefutable evidences right? if there is any doubt, then the person should not be considered criminal (basic rule of law-even a student of law knows that, nothing new).

I acknowledge for lack of proof some people may get away even in the best of justice system I said that before. But unfortunately there is no other better choice. On the basis of ..........let me use your own word hogwash claim, hearsay or hair splitting the person should not be condemned.

Besides, there is a risk to the person be punished if claim was indeed found to be baseless.

Re: When is rape not rape?

Homestar, forget it.

There are claims, and then there are warrants to support it. I suggest you look both terms up.

Re: When is rape not rape?

So what is the point?

Claims and warrants when issued does not mean the person is criminal. :smack:

I failed to see what is your position? Explain please. I gave you simple rule of law. Any problem with that?
If you do, then why argue with me? Change the laws.

Re: When is rape not rape?

the law also states tht marital rape exists… just saying :slight_smile:

Re: When is rape not rape?

LOL..Sure. That same law says rape has to look like rape. Just saying. :)

Re: When is rape not rape?

rape doesnt have to be forced!!!!!

ex: statutory rape because kids can not consent.

or even if ur too drunk to consent... it is rape

sooo... wht only looks like rape isnt rape... even some things tht dont look like rape can be considered rape...

it is pretty much sex tht is not consented.

Re: When is rape not rape?

no it doesnt!!!!

read my post b4...

Re: When is rape not rape?

Yes it does. Try not to put weight on ‘look like’ word. Use the word evident then.

If it is evident that the sexual activity was indeed performed with a minor or not consent-able person that means it “looks like” rape and it is rape.

Am I the only one here getting headache in typing the word rape so many times? I am sure readers would be. :hehe:

Re: When is rape not rape?

You guys have too much time on your hands. Gupshup and Gupsters make my head spin and send me into a never-ending twirl ... as if I am drunk when I am really not!

Re: When is rape not rape?

so wht "looks like" rape???

Re: When is rape not rape?

lol.. yaa i spent my whole day here today and got nothing done!! lol wht a waste of my precious time.. but it was fun just relaxing

Re: When is rape not rape?

Very true. 'Someone' wanted to draaaaaaaag it for no reason. As I mentioned above. Time to close this thread I suppose. :)
