Nobody gets anesthetized in the field .
Well it comes down to this Myth (and I'm sorry that your opinion of me will be drastically lowered after):
- I'm a man. I don't give a rat's ass about the issue of women statistically being more abused than men and the majority of cases going unreported. I care about myself and potential risks associated with hooking up with women on the short-term in today's environment. That's not the same as me not acknowledging the issue though; which I do.
- I do care about the majority of actual rapists walking free but not anymore than I would care for any other petty criminal doing so.
So why do the majority of cases go unreported? Could it have something to do with the majority of rape cases also being committed by close friends, acquaintances, family members, etc as your sources say? After all, isn't there a reason why a woman would be less likely to report say their extended family member than a complete stranger they've never met before? Maybe they didn't deem the potential consequences of a friend's prosecution to be worth the negative effects on the social relationship between herself and those close to the perpetrator.
Isn't this a social problem then? What control does the legal system have over women choosing not to report these crimes? Ultimately it's their problem for choosing not to, not mine.

No you just have to light a candle while standing inside a tornado.
Not just any tornado. The same one that killed Pa Kent.

I'll just quote the most relevant part of the sh!t you posted:
Exactly. As I already told DMB, this is more a problem in actual society and it's usual victim blaming/marginalizing. As well as most women feeling the need to stay silent due to, again, standards set forth by them. That should be fixed.

hmmm...
I note the irony as I sit here in my school's atrium, where overnight several hundred "project unbreakable" posters have been strung up.
Call me stupid, but what's the goal here? What are you solving by telling us what your attackers/molesters said to you? People are shitty, yes. If the women feel that they're forced to say silent due to social standards that's a personal problem. I've gained enough courage through self-empowerment to go against the social grain in many ways. People need to stop with this "I'M A VICTIM!" attitude and get a f*cking hold of their lives. In other words, these people should learn to be more like Raven .

Apparently there's a bipartisan movement picking up steam to reform banking regulations.... by loosening them. Because that's always such a great idea. Corporate Dems are the worst.
" They would no longer have to hold as much capital to cover losses on their balance sheets. They would not be required to have plans in place to be safely dismantled if they failed. And they would have to take the Fed's bank health test only periodically, not once a year.
The American operations of big foreign banks, like Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas and Banco Santander, would also be exempt. "
Truly those people must BEG for Death....Or we could go the route of... "Not Anesthetized? Isn't that what a Conversation with Kurk can be Described as?"

"Among other violations of journalistic principles of presenting the relevant evidence, I indict the MSTVNM (mainstream TV news media) for not letting their audiences know what Palestinian leaders – both PA and Hamas – say in Arabic, thus compounding the misdirection involved in highlighting and affirming what Palestinian spokespeople say in English. I therefore include footage generously provided by both Palestinian Media Watch and the Center for Near East Policy Research."
Completely unacceptable.

"New York University served up a “Black History Month” meal at one of its dining halls — complete with watermelon-flavored water and collard greens — and had to apologize when students called the school out for playing into racist stereotypes."
Lol.

Watermelon flavored water is usually liquefied watermelon; sometimes with some added water to thin it out if need be, it's delicious and refreshing on a hot day if fresh.
Hilarious they were dumb enough to call it racist.

Just find someone that says something outrageous, ???, profit.
Anyone wanna throw in with me? You can pick the crazy, I'll be your equally crazy nemesis wingnut.
