What a lovely culture, hifiguy Jan 2016 #1

Rape culture is "lovely, deserving of our respect and acceptance"? Who says that? uppityperson Jan 2016 #4

The cultural relativists will be showing up any time now. hifiguy Jan 2016 #7

ah, how many rapes does India "REPORT" a year Jim Beard Jan 2016 #12

Looks like they don't collect is separately. I don't have an answer, but here's the wiki bit uppityperson Jan 2016 #19

They still do a far better job than we do. We don't "report" very many synergie Jan 2016 #202

rape culture is seen in many cultures. in the US college sports military JI7 Jan 2016 #42

Not to that degree. Not close. hifiguy Jan 2016 #43

you are denying what exists in the US. There is a serious problem with what is JI7 Jan 2016 #44

Thank you for stating that so well. uppityperson Jan 2016 #45

We could just as easily accuse you of "attacking" colleges sports and military as an "entire group" sibelian Jan 2016 #96

i just said in that post there is a problem with the culture JI7 Jan 2016 #111

Fair enough. It just IRRITATES me when people start making comparisons... sibelian Jan 2016 #116

the comparison is stupid but so is to claim the type of sexual assault JI7 Jan 2016 #117

Well, I wonder if hifiguy thought that was what YOU were doing. sibelian Jan 2016 #118

the problem i have is some seem to be going from acknowledging this is a serious problem JI7 Jan 2016 #200

It's an extremely awkward and complicated situation. MANY factors impinge on this. sibelian Jan 2016 #215

I didn't say that. katsy Jan 2016 #89

Yes, absolutely. smirkymonkey Jan 2016 #128

Just to clarify, you want to ban all men of a certain religion from entering the USA? uppityperson Jan 2016 #130

Only if they are young and single. smirkymonkey Jan 2016 #134

Casey Kasem was sooooo scary, as is Ahmed Zewail. Incredible, ban all male Muslims from the USA. uppityperson Jan 2016 #135

That was in reply to smirkymonkey who agrees with banning all young male muslims uppityperson Jan 2016 #138

I don't really see the problem with that. smirkymonkey Jan 2016 #142

You don't see a problem with broadbrush bigotry against everyone of a religion? uppityperson Jan 2016 #154

Well. I have to say I certainly understand your reticence to go down that path. sibelian Jan 2016 #176

The USA needs to ban big C Christians as they cause most of the problems here uppityperson Jan 2016 #178

That is a powerful observation and I agree with you with regards to emotional intelligence. sibelian Jan 2016 #214

Nope. smirkymonkey Jan 2016 #203
