"Forced." "Violent." Etc. I would have advised against combining "legitimate" and "rape" because legally all rape is legitimate rape. So let's ask the question: would you allow your 16 year old daughter to date a 45 year old man? Or, if you're more into the concept of courtship (which, btw, I...

And that's why it's legally classified as statutory rape, fully in compliance with the reasonable limitation on age regarding what minors can legally accomplish. Most 12 year olds aren't legally allowed to make decisions regarding a number of things because it's recognized that most 12 year olds...

The trauma the nazis subjected the women to wasn't rape, but a situation where the women thought they were about to be killed. I can't find any studies that specified the woman who had just been raped was ovulating. Your very words prove my point. Your lack of objectivity is disheartening...

By the laws of the land, absolutely correct. Are you intimating you wish to see both the young girl who wantonly threw herself into the situation AND the man both receive some form of punishment? Or neither? Or is there some other alternative?

Willke's primary source was a doctor named Mecklenburg; who based some of his conclusions on experiments conducted by the Nazis during WWII. And I hate to be the one to point this out to you, but both Willkes and Mecklenburg are pro-life; which, unfortunately, means their conclusions are as...

My question for Aaron: what happens if you receive no corroborating scientific evidence?

By the laws of the land, yes, it's quite accurate.

Aaron -- yes, God would call it whoredom. What do we call what the 45-year old man did?

Well, I'm man enough to say my initial assessment seems to have been wrong; and and I need to do some more reading.

And Obama hasn't already? Think you need to read up on Ryan's current plan (not the 2011one that Obama and Biden mistakenly (purposefully?) keep referring to), and find out why it's being co-sponsored and supported by Democrats...

Let's face it: Anyone who makes assertions and then doesn't believe they have a responsibility to provide proof of those assertions.... ...probably hangs out with Harry Reid on the weekends.... And that's enough "trolling" from me.

Wait--so now it comes out that Gawker uses the same "off-shore tax dodging" ... but it's apparently wrong if Bain and/or Romney do it? Pay attention, CTB: either you believe Obama is going to pull us out of this economic mess and Romney isn't; or vice versa. Be honest with your evaluations...

AGREED. Although, if the republicans want to ensure the female vote, Ryan's gonna have to lose the shirt and show off those P-90 abs! (historically, women voters have been known to vote for the better-looking of the candidates....) (in case anyone missed it: just kidding!)

Final(?) analysis on this: there's a few limitations I haven't found work-arounds for. For example, I've been moon-lighting with a university, teaching a couple of classes. The mobile browser (BTW: I switched to Chrome; works great for the most part) allows me to get into the university's online...

The problem with secession is economic. What state is prepared to institute its own currency? And on what will that be based? How will it institute trade laws with what remains of the US and other countries? For that matter, will any other country recognize its individual sovereignty? And how...

I don't have a good answer for you. People are too comfortable with their creature comforts, and are willing to put up with increasing indignities to maintain life "as they know it." Even here on Baptist Board, people that I usually agree with surprised me with their willing acceptance and...

I do believe justwantpeace and OR have posted two of the funniest responses I've seen in a long time.

Translation: "I can't prove it, but I'm right and everyone else is wrong."

Poncho, normally I would agree with you; however, I have to point out that Columbine changed our way of thinking about these things. Back when you and I were younger, people would say such things, but it was usually a comment about another person's character that caused us to make such...

You made the statement; the burden of proof is on you. When a prosecutor says someone is guilty of murder, the burden of proof is on the prosecutor; the defense doesn't have to prove they didn't do it, although it helps. If you're man enough to say it, then be man enough to back it up...
