A mathematically generalized definition of rape

Post Reply New Topic

OP: Er, no, you're a fruitloop.

in any case, i think the OP was using the term "rape" figuratively.

like how i might say, "Golly Gee Willickers, the cost of things sure has gone up alot these days. Just the cost of that movie ticket last night alone has positively raped my wallet."

It's okay, Horus. The misunderstanding could have been on my end too. LOL

I am not interested in which is worse because I am not willing to accept either one of them. The infant who dies of SIDS, which the medical community estimates maternal smoking causes half of these preventable deaths, wanted to live just like the victim who was sexually assaulted and murdered. I do not care which death was worse because it is wrong to kill the innocent. (I am not denying the right to use lethal force in self defemse.) Sexual rape is concentrated and dramaticly terrible. But forcing factory workers who can't just go find another job to breathe cigarette smoke day after day for years can and often does inflict diseases in which the death bed is a violent torture chamber with the cancer slowly mutilating the victim who takes months to die. We could compare a fast get it over with rape murder and debate which is worse, but I ask that we not make such considerations because that threatens to give one kind of violator or murderer credit for being better than another.

In the case of fetal alcahol syndrome, a child is born forever damned to a life of innecessary mental retardation and all that goes with it. I do not know whether that is less violent than any given sexual molestation of that child and I do not care because I want that selfish mother who thinks she has a right to do such a viciously selfish thing just because the law gives her permission to be put in the same category as a sex offender.

We have to place boundaries on bodily integrity and give a yes or no answer to crossing those boundaries whether the trespass is slow cancer causing cigarette smoke that contaminates too many public places or whether the violation is sexual and I think I made a mistake in accidentally starting a debate on which kind of violation is worse. The answer is not which crime is worse but that none of these violations should ever be tolerated.

There are people who starve themselves to death with anorexia and I think seeing everyone around them growing fat terrifies them into purging and starving. They are tragically mistakened to react the way they do to their understandable terror of having pop culture's alien fat installed in their bodies because there are ways to exercise and eat that are healthy. If the neglegent parent chooses to feed her child McDonald's or Hardees or all the disgusting bad foods large corporations market so aggressively, I hold both the parent and the corporations who are more than accomplices to the crime responsible. The child was too young to decide he or she does not want to be obese. That child's body has been violated and that is not tolerable.

You can keep arguing your point, barney. Alcohol consumption during pregnancy is bad, but it is not rape. Nor is smoking around your children.

I am not interested in trying to figure out whether a type of rape with less violence than another type of rape is worse than slowly poisoning a prisoner by forcing him to live in a cell full of tobacco smoke till he dies of cadriovascular disease or his body is mutilated by cancer is worse than having to grow up in a house full of cigarette smoke. Nor am I willing to introduce the invasion a child experiences when introduced to sexual practices that deny the child time to grow up and learn what he or she has a right to know and be able to make his or her own informed free choice with another consenting adult, e.g. marriage or bethrothel into the comparison. People have committed suicide over being obese so one would have to consider the individual victim and what is most traumatic if one wanted to rank violations, but again I doubt the value of attempting to evaluate which in a list of evils is worse. That is why I will defend myself against someone trying to force cigarette smoke into my body as violently as I will someone trying to force his sex organs into my body. Being willing to accept cigarette smoke in an effort to be coourteous makes me feel like a dirty whore as much as being expected to perform a sexual message on an employer in an attempt to beat the competition in trying to win that high paying job, but that's just me and I do not expect everyone to be the same or like me.

My intent is to introduce an intolerance for all these things because they are evil and I do not care which is more evil than which. I hope that adds understanding to this discussion that became more heated than I had intended it to become (not that I would ever question peoples' rights to express themselves freely and candidly as I value the honesty of candor above all else upon the matter.)

You don't need to equate any of it to sexual assault to show that these things are wrong and shouldn't be happening.

I've been raped. Trying to say that smoking in public is rape is sick in ways that good words can't be used to describe.
