Violence begets violence. Love conquers all. These are the teachings according to Buddha.

If I tell someone to fuck off then I am disrespecting them. Instead, I choose to tell them how their actions effect other so that they may see how they harm others and perhaps they will be more aware of their actions.

What bothers me is being judged by society when someone else has committed a crime. What bothers me is that the chances of that crime happening again is nil but there are others out there who feel as I do exactly because of the type of sentiments expressed on this board. (your post is fine, please do not think I am pointing fingers)

If these people know that their actions restrain the law from doing it's duty when a rape victim refuses to talk then that is their karma. (it is anyway, but at that point they are aware of it) If they were not aware, perhaps they will think before they make such statements next time. I wish for our society to become liberated and women to be empowered to speak out without fear of any kind.
