After recently having experienced my girlfriend almost being raped, I felt it necessary to post my views on these types of criminals. I'm glad that the laws dealing with sexual assualt crimes have tightened. People who commit these crimes are in a different category then other criminals. They have a TOTAL disrespect for people, and should be punished accordingly. I think even minor sexual assualt should be given hefty fines and sentences. What do you guys think?
Rape means the act of forcing a person to have sexual intercourse angainst his or her will. Now I don't understand how such a serious action, can have such a short definition. My two little cousins, both boys and both brothers, were raped by their uncle. Their grandmother knew but all she told her son to do was to apologize to the little boys. Our family doesn't know how this will affect them when they get older (they were only 3 and 2). My cousin who is now dead, she commited suicide, was raped when she was younger. She was raped before she came to live with my aunt, she was a foster child. I think that people choose to rape others, because it seems that society sometimes accepts it and ignores it. Rapist seem to get less time in jail than drug dealers. Drug dealers whos only crime is supplying people with illegal substances. Rapist who force people into sexual intercourse. Rapist who sometimes take a person's innocence. Rapist who take a person right to say no. Rapist who ruin peoples lives, because they will never be who they were before they were raped. Rapist who have females/males having nightmares about them at night. Rapist who take joy in hurting another, with an act they is suppose to be enjoyable. Rapist who put fear into peoples heart, making them not be able to trust another on a certain level. I Dont Get It.
I don't think the government actually realizes how serious it is. It take a part of you, your life. You think about it everyday. You cry at night and embarass yourself during the day. Its pure hell because one other person wanted sex.
She's lying because before she got her post removed, she said getting raped was how she lost her virginity. Yet in another thread, on the same day, she said she was still a virgin. Either she's really, really dumb, or she had amnesia and suddenly remembered.
Do you know she was lying? Because I actually do know someone who was raped at 13 and was pretty vocal about it. Something about revenge with a steak knife...but she was insane. Very insane.
wow this really got off track lol. (im sry but 'panicxcupcake' please just go to a different website, cuz all ur doin is getting everbody really mad.) At least me! and EarthGoddess
Rape is a crime that criminals even despise. In jails they have to be kept from other criminals for their own safty. I've been raped. You don't know how horrible it feels unles it's happened to you. And to not catch the person is even more horrible. Councling helps a lot. Do it.
Whats meant to be will happen.~ Tomarrow is yet another day.~ Thou shalt call me long winded.

I KNOW HOW IT IS BECAUSE I TO HAVE BEEN RAPED I HAVE NEVER TOLD ANYBODY BEFORE IF SOMEONE WOULD PLEASE TALK TO ME ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE

As far as I know the virgin Mary is depicted in the standard mode of dress at the time which always included some time of head gear for both males and females it had less to do with modest and more to do with keeping off the hot desert sun and the harsh sands
I don't know why nuns cover their hair, My great aunt is a nun and when she's in her street clothes she doesn't cover her hair, possibly it's meant to be an emulation of Mary, I'll ask her next I time I see her.

Sure, I'll try. In Islam there are rules for how people dress are allowed to dress. For both men and women the clothing has to be modest, loose enough so that it won't be pressed up against the body and framing his/her figure, and it can't be too attention seeking like with lots of bright colours exploding on the front. For men, the clothing has to cover everything between the navel and the knees, and for women clothing has to cover everything but the hands and face.
Everything that has to be covered is considered an "Oura" and I have no way to really translate that into English but it basically means something that should be private from people of the opposite sex. There is no mention in Islam to covering the face, if you've seen women that wear a little veil over their nose and mouth, but that's not obligatory, I know a couple of American converts that live here that cover their face and I have no idea why. I guess they're just volunteering to do more just in case.
In most Middle Eastern countries (excluding the evercrazy Saudi Arabia) not wearing Hijab isn't against the law or anything. In my family, my oldest sister doesn't but another one does. I don't, but that's because I'm just starting to get religious and I would rather work on the other aspects of Islam (being a good person, not swearing so much, praying) before I go and buy a new wardrobe. But I do want to wear it one day and I will when I'm sure I'm ready.
And then there are all the scholars who say that covering your hair isn't really necessary because it wasn't mentioned in the Quran, it was mentioned by Mohammad (pbuh). But most think it's safe to assume that Mohammad wouldn't have said anything unless instructed and if he had just made something up off the top of his head then something in the Quran would have been sent down to contradict it. A lot of things are outlined and the Quran and then expanded on by Mohammad and in the Quran it does say to be modest and cover everything that it isn't neccessary to uncover.
So this got kind of long... But I have a question back. The Virgin Mary is always depicted in a veil, and why do nuns cover their hair? And why does no one question it when a nun decides to cover her hair, but when we do it it's a violation of human rights? It's the same kind of religious choice.

and there's nothing wrong with moderate violence occasional or not.

This topic was so dead and you just felt the need to make an offensive post to revive it? I mean most of what you said makes little or no sense but dude:

Yeah, that is a different topic; a topic you know absolutley nothing about. Men are not sexually entitled to anything, sex is only allowed in marriage and, in marriage, both the man and the woman are entitled to sex...as in its both of their maritial duties. And sheesh, they wear dark veils? In ISLAM (which is what I guess you're insulting even then you say the Middle East) women have to cover their hair, its not women being oppressed and its not women having their rights taken away, it's women wearing hijab because it's what they believe god wants them to do. You can call it sexism, but it would make more sense to call it faith.
Whispering voices? I don't even know what you could possibly be referring to. I'm in the Middle East and I just spent an evening screaming at the top of my lungs as I was driven down the street, not cause I'm crazy but because my best friend just graduated. Yep, high school education, the education you ignorantly think girls aren't provided here. So before you post your proclamations telling everyone what you are just so sure is wrong with the world maybe you should do a little research and not just spew out all of the negative stereotypes you've ever heard, k?
And check the date on the last post before you reply next time.

To continue the argument about why there are more male rapists than female rapists is because of a great many reasons.
--Many physical sexual differences (which I WONT get into)
--Our culture ...as in the differences we create between male and female children in our culture. When someone has a baby boy, the people who speak to the young child (mainly men in this case) tend to put on big, manly voices and encourage 'manly' behavior such as sports, occasional moderate violence, and many other negative comments. Also, during advertisments, how many times do you see the lovely, kind person in the kitchen making something nice for the kids to eat that are men? What about in the cleaning commercials that advertise a product, and in these ads, (as I have seen) are women bent over, scrubbing something, or vacumming/making dinner etc. etc. while the men of the house laze about and watch tv. This problem continues over the world. In the Middle East, it is a terrible problem. The women are victimised by the men. The men are sexually entitled to women and women cover themselves up with dark veils and speak in whispering voices. Do they have access to education? No! But that is a differnt topic. In many rape cases, the man that is raping a women does not do it for the sexual satisfaction, but for a primal cause lying deeply entrenched in their subconcious minds. This main cause is the satisfaction of putting the victim (a woman) into a sub group, as a lowly person who has to respect men and serve them! NO! This can make the man feel more 'manly' as he is entitled to this woman's body. He feels he has put the woman where she belongs. These people tend to have trauma occuring to them, which, unfortunatly, is passed on to another, who might pass it on to another. It is a vicious cycle we cannot break. People who rape others do it for reasons many cannot comprehend. Rape is a serious, voilent, devastiting, evil, and heinious crime.
We can mainly only blame ourselves for the predicament we have gotten ourselves into. I am NOT saying that victims of rape should blame themselves for what has happened, but the media- no the whole country itself must recognise this problem and it's source- which, not surprisingly, is at HOME.
Thank you.
