Georgia state rep. Bobby Franklin (Republican) does a whole lot of really crazy shit - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Broseph_;28273380]Anyway, innocent until proven guilty[/QUOTE] so? that doesn't change the fact that your statement was horrendus and unfounded. even the most extreme statistic positied (which, almost certainly, is an exaggeration) does not support your claim that most rape accusations are false. and even if that were true, making it official state policy to cast extra suspicion on rape victims, [I]specifically[/I], while not putting that suspicion on other victims of crimes against their person is goddamn terrible. it's the worst

where did this whole myth of women often making false rape allegations even come from?

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;28273461]where did this whole myth of women often making false rape allegations even come from?[/QUOTE] Rapists, probably.

[QUOTE=Broseph_;28273380]Anyway, innocent until proven guilty[/QUOTE] what does that have to do with being ignorant there's a difference between having opinions, and stating something as fact when it's absolutely not true

[QUOTE=Treybuchet;28267528]Except a majority of the time 'rape victims' are like those Julian Assanges trying to drag those two bitches down.[/QUOTE] Dumbest, most mindblowing post of fucking EVER.

[QUOTE=Broseph_;28273932]When I said a majority of rape victims, I was referring to the supposed victims who make false rape reports, I even put 'rape victim' in scare quotes to signify this[/QUOTE] ok so you think the majority of rape victims should be treated like "accusers" for something a very tiny minority does?

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;28274156]ok so you think the majority of rape victims should be treated like "accusers" for something a very tiny minority does?[/QUOTE] Varying reports of it being 8% to 40% is not a very small minority, and it's labeling a woman a "victim" before a investigation implies guilt upon the accused [editline]25th February 2011[/editline] Also I'm backing the fuck away from this thread now

[QUOTE=Broseph_;28273932]When I said a majority of rape victims, I was referring to the supposed victims who make false rape reports, I even put 'rape victim' in scare quotes to signify this[/QUOTE] so you were saying people who make false rape reports make false rape reports backpedal some more please

[QUOTE=thisispain;28274382]so you were saying people who make false rape reports make false rape reports backpedal some more please[/QUOTE] No, I'm saying they shouldn't be afforded the title of 'victim' solely because the filed a claim of rape

[QUOTE=Broseph_;28274449]No, I'm saying they shouldn't be afforded the title of 'victim' solely because the filed a claim of rape[/QUOTE] what difference does it make

[QUOTE=Broseph_;28274449]No, I'm saying they shouldn't be afforded the title of 'victim' solely because the filed a claim of rape[/QUOTE] do you feel the same for every other crime?

even then, what you posted now and what you posted then were two very different statements you said most rape victims aren't really rape victims i don't know how you want me to interpret that differently

[QUOTE=Broseph_;28273932]When I said a majority of rape victims, I was referring to the supposed victims who make false rape reports, I even put 'rape victim' in scare quotes to signify this[/QUOTE] So when you said majority of rape victims you meant the majority of false rape victims? That might be plausible if it weren't for the fact that if that were true, you would have just ended up saying, "The people who claim they were raped when they weren't do not actually get raped." which is retarded. I think that's not what you meant, you just didn't know what you were talking about.

republican crazy shit same title same thing every day in america

I love how you guys pull out the worst of the worst, and then just say everyone thats a part of that is exactly like them. Bad apples shouldn't ruin what people believe "ALL" republicans act like. Honestly a lot people in Washington Politics say some stupid shit, but I would say as a republican, that 90 % of the people part of the party wouldn't agree with Bobby Franklin. Grow up and stop generalizing everything and everyone. Also, I would like to say FOX is full shit, and thats coming from a Republican.

The extremes of either side are deplorable as far I'm concerned. I'll always favor the more moderate candidates. I prefer economic [i]AND[/i] social freedom, and in the wake of all this two-party-banner-waving-team-spirit bullshit that's got the whole country so riled up, it's common for only the most extreme of either side to garner the kind of support needed for serious political office. It's essentially a choice between the stupidly misguided social views of the far-right Republicans or the equally restrictive economic policies of the wingtip Democrats. A free people need a free economy, and vice versa. It would be ideal, in my opinion, for the government to neither tell us how we're expected to live our lives, nor for it to take control of the market any more than is necessary to ensure that it remains balanced. Until we see the kind of change in attitude necessary for such a progressive shift in politics, I expect that I'll remain one of those crazy independent voters.

You did not even need to put republican in the title, it is implied.

[QUOTE=Broseph_;28252557]Admit this is actually a good law[/QUOTE] Because rape victims aren't already struggling with irrational guilt, we should probably label them as "accusers" and set them apart from other victims by branding them with a title that would simply be interpreted as "liar." No, this is not a good law, l2empathy. [QUOTE=Awesomecaek;28255121]In this case I it would be obvious and easy to prove, so there would be no negative effect from the law. I can see the actual reasoning. It seems some women tend to throw sexual assault/rape accusations like nothing, often to get rid of responsibility from their own fuck-ups and such. Problem is that this would further increase the number of rape cases which get never reported, as the woman would have one extra thing to fear. It's a dumb idea, but I can't say it would be completely without reason.[/QUOTE] How is this reasonable at all? People lie and accuse other people of crimes they didn't commit just as frequently. There is absolutely [i]no[/i] reason for such a law to exist. It simply reveals his misogynistic nature and lack of understanding of the real amount of sexual assault that occurs. I really hate when people bring up the fact that a girl might be lying when she claims she was raped, and then there's always the idiots who think that number is a majority--it's not. It's an exception, and laws shouldn't be based around deviants when it will affect thousands more who are [i]actually[/i] victims.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;28278210]The extremes of either side are deplorable as far I'm concerned. I'll always favor the more moderate candidates. [/QUOTE] but the fact is is that the Republican party as a whole has become more extreme over the past few years while the Democratic party has more or less remained fairly moderate. Desire for stricter corporate regulations (especially in the wake of an economic crisis that was caused by excessive deregulation) is nothing compared to the egregious offenses against people's rights that the republicans have supported. The this thread is about may be a lone crazy, but the republicans (more or less) as a whole still oppose same-sex marriage and equal protection from discrimination for homosexuals, abortion rights, effective sex education, and stem cell research. For any moderate, their greivances with the democrats should be chump change compared to the ones he or she has with republicans. they are not the same level of bad
