I'm waving off you as an afterthought, Tan. Language is a beautiful and complex thing, and crafting it "well" for you is beneath me. Your comprehension is still lacking to not pick up on that, it wasn't exactly subtle. You did get the "don't give a shit" part right, just not the thing I don't give a shit about (Just because your comprehension is so bad, once more, it's you). You're a bad troll Tan, and if you've been reduced to grammar trolling me? I've been successful

What, you think I'm talking about your posts aimed at me? Your flagrant, haphazard butchering of our language has plagued your posts for years. It's incredibly obvious you don't consider it worth the effort to express yourself properly. Listen, that's totally fine, nobody's forcing you to respect mankind's greatest achievements. I would have thought a guy who spends so much time expressing himself through the written word would understand the significance of proper language usage, but what do I know? You probably sign your name with an "X", don't you?

I'm pretty confident I express myself eloquently enough in a casual setting like a message board. But oh gosh, it's such a revelation to realize I'm not perfect. How will my ego survive this assault by someone who couldn't even comprehend the moon landing. Oh wait, derp. That's right, I'll just remember that if you're grammar trolling me for misplaced apostrophe, and that's all you have against me to try and make yourself feel better about how stupid I make you look? That it probably means, intellectually, I am as far above you as you are above the pre-schoolers you teach. (And there are others in this thread smarter than me, Tan. Can you even fathom how dumb you are compared to them? It must be like that feeling smart people get when they zoom away from Earth to a shot of the whole universe and realize how tiny and insignificant they are.)

But you seem mad though, Tan. What's wrong little buddy? Trolling not working out like you thought it would today? Well, on Monday you can go back into work and try really hard to imagine the kids you teach as peers, and feel all superior when their comprehension is actually worse than yours because they don't understand why the kid doesn't like Green Eggs and Ham. Maybe that delusion will build your self confidence up enough to have another go at me.

I don't know why I have to explain this to you, but the grammar thing was arbitrary. I don't give a shit about your missed apostrophes (OK, I do a little, but I acknowledge it doesn't matter). The point I was making, Lith, is that it's ridiculous to take an experience, a stance, an opinion, a point of view someone has, and use that as an excuse to dismiss what they have to say about something entirely unrelated. If I came in here claiming to be an expert on space travel, then of course my once having doubted the moon landing would be relevant. The fact that the moon landing thing keeps coming up again and again is not surprising when it's from people who don't actually know how arguments work, but it is surprising coming from you. You should know better. I chose the grammar thing because it could just as arbitrarily be argued as a pinnacle of human achievement as the moon landing. Do you see how whether or not you understand "its" vs "it's" has no effect on whether what you're saying makes sense or has any merit? If you do, then why is it a huge mental leap for you to understand that whether or not I once had doubts about whether the moon landing happened has no effect on whether whatI'msaying makes sense or has any merit? Constantly bringing that up as some kind of catch-all even though it could not be less relevant is lazy as fuck and more than a little dishonest.

At least you took the high road, though.

People get found guilty of things beyond a reasonable without physical evidence all the time. Therefore you can't automatically dismiss a rape case just because of a lack of physical evidence.

how many of those are overturned when physical evidence is discovered? A shitty aspect of the American legal system isn't an excuse.

Pretty reasonable take on the campus rape issue. Also, mentions this about hte new Harvard policy I didn't know about...
Third, universities should insist that determinations of guilt or innocence rely on a "reasonable-person test," according to which the accused is only culpable if a reasonable person would have considered his actions to be wrong. Without that standard, his fate may rest on her subjective judgment - if she feels that he imposed unwanted sexual contact on her, no matter what he actually did, then he can be found to have harassed or raped her. (Harvard's controversial new policy leaves out the reasonable-person standard, which is partly why 28 of its law professors have publicly objected to it.)

Two wrongs don't make a right. Besides, I'd argue our ideals are sacrificed on the throne of crony capitalism.

That too. We live in a society where we let people get sick, starve, suffer and die for the 'ideal' of capitalism.

But god forbid we sacrifice some ideal to make it easier to put serial rapists in jail.

So you in fact ARE for lowering the burden of proof in rape cases? I mean, I really don't see any other way for your sentence to be taken.

No, I'm just pointing out that it's weird where this line about our ideals suddenly gets drawn.

I get what you guys are saying. "These crazy lying bitches are ruining it for the rest of you women, so you're just going to have to deal with some rape."

And I'm saying, "These serial rapists are ruining it for the rest of you guys, so you're going to have to deal with some false accusations."

Obviously both of those positions leave a lot to be desired. The media's selective reporting is creating an environment where real rape victims are discouraged from coming forward because of the proliferation of stories about fake rape accusations. And if real victims are discouraged from coming forward, then all you're going to have is attention-seeking fake victims in their place. Do you get my point here?

a_skeleton_03's anecdotes back this up too. How many real victims do you think never say anything, because of the mockery of the system that fake victims have made of it?
