  • People don’t rape children, or anyone, because they are just too horny and can’t restrain themselves. People who seek positions of power that often give them a huge Benifit of the doubt and then rape children, didn’t end up in that circumstance by accident. Rape isn’t sex. It isn’t about being so sexually stimulated you must force someone else to have sex with you. Rape is abuse, and the point of it is harm and domination. There’s a lot of data that supports these facts, particularly psychological studies, but there’s even more than that, let’s look at some data about rape. The vast majority of rapists abuse a victim that knows them well. Friends, family, or even their spouse or partner are the most frequent victims. This is not spontaneous behavior, victims are carefully chosen and often groomed for the abuse. This can be years of preparation. This isn’t something you do because you are just too horny. Next let’s look at the victims they choose, who is more likely to be raped, a child related to the rapist who is old enough to talk and talk clearly, or a child too young to speak at all, or too young to communicate what’s happened to them? The child less able to talk is higher risk. Is that spontaneous ‘‘I’m just so horny’’ behavior? No, that’s calculated behavior. Children with disabilities, particularly disabilities that make it hard or impossible to communicate effectively, are also higher risk of being sexually abused than children who don’t have these characteristics. Looking at adult victims, elderly people with disabilities that prevent them from communicating are also higher risk for sexual abuse than elderly individuals who can communicate. If a rapist is selecting victims who are, very young, very old, or disabled, do you honestly think the motivation is sexual arousal? These are not people considered sexually appealing in western culture right now. Another point is career choices. Rapists tend to look for jobs, even getting years of education to obtain these jobs, that give them access to ideal victims, children, the elderly, disabled children, and so on, preachers, youth pastors, school teachers, law enforcement, any position in hospitals from doctors to orderlies, nurses, imaging techs, or janitors, some of these professions are aware of this, and go to great lengths to make these jobs have very limited access and opportunity to harm potential victims, and some don’t, but again, is a rapist going to get a 4+ year education, or work their way up through a profession to get access to victims if the motivation was being sexually frustrated? No. That’s not what’s happening. What’s happening is rapists want to rape someone, and many have been known to select victims they aren’t even personally attracted to in their sex life. It’s not about sex, it’s about abuse.

    If we were just a few years short of total collapse in a socialist or communist economic system, would it be OK to call either system bad?

    I’ve worked for so many retail corporations that are so single minded to quarterly earning going up to push stock prices up, they don’t even care how much money they actually make, and what they pay people. You can make 2mil a day, and they will fire everyone and close the store because it wasn’t 2.000002mil. A lot of things are breaking.




  • It didn’t start suddenly, you just only became aware of it recently. Which is fine, no one was born knowing any of this. This has been happening for decades, and Regan was the first real idiot president, but Nixon also helped start this bullshit train. They’ve always been like this, Republican radio has been at Alex Jones fever of blatant hate speech for a LONG ass time. It’s like fox news on… whatever drug makes you a worse racist asshole calling for a race war. Meth. I think it’s meth.

    Anyway.

    It’s always been here, we’re just clearly getting very close to a breaking point.






  • I worded that reply very badly, and it’s not clear to me reading it again what it would mean to you when you read it. So my bad all around. To clarify, I ment to communicate, hopefully humorously, that people assume their very specific life experiences are typical, and that everyone is going through what they are going through, even though that’s not a universal or even typical experience.

    You might already know all this, so sorry, but I think the reply I wrote was badly written.
