    Judge unsure drunk sex was rape

    The girl didnt say no...for me the line of rape in cases like this is if they say"no" or do anything in any way that would indicate they dont want it [e.g they could be passed out drunk, but if he starts pulling off her pants and she tries to pull them back on, thats a no] She actually did more...

    Should women be allowed to serve in the infantry?

    Well my position is pretty clear on this, because shes not a psychopath. She might be mentally strong, be a cold hearted, mentally calculating bitch, but she probably still doesnt have that right degree of fucked upness and disregard for her own safety that is 1000x more common in men and make...

    Suicide, 4th kid in 6 months

    The older i get the sadder these stories become. A few years ago i would have laughed that a girl got upset and killed herself because of something on the internet. Now i cant help but think what a waste. Maybe the school is a toxic environment, it sounds like a fucked up place and you never...

    I have never let my schooling interfere with my education....

    School isnt just about academic education. Alot of it is education about real world stuff, if you are only getting your "life education" from only one person who has lived through it, how accurate is that going to be? Learning from 20-30 or more adults is far better in this regard. Socially...

    Which source of knowledge is superior

    I would say empiricism is a more robust school of thought concerning knowledge, empiricism had a very powerful impact on the scientific method in that anything scientific must be testable and it must be falsifiable [that is, there needs to be an approach or a series of experiments that can be...

    HIV: Are scare tactics useful anymore?

    TBH the reason i wear condoms is because the only person i trust is myself and i dont want to be a daddy yet, not because i think its likely i will get HIV. The thing is, that in terms of killers, i doubt AIDS even makes the top 100, if we wanted to make a big impact on health there are so many...

    HIV: Are scare tactics useful anymore?

    Its just stats, dont be upset. I dont engage in risky behaviour, and i wear condoms. IV drug users are at risk because sharing needles has one of the highest rates of transmition. Yeah i have read about the strict procedures of brothels and such, but only about 80 women a year get infected...

    HIV: Are scare tactics useful anymore?

    This study was done on relative risk per act, it showed that anal sex is about 10x more risky than vaginal sex. Antiretroviral Postexposure Prophylaxis After Sexual, Injection-Drug Use, or Other Nonoccupational Exposure to HIV in the United States </P><P>Recommendations from the U.S. Department...

    Some are born gay, some achieve gayness, and some have gayness thrust upon them

    Good thread idea. I havent done much reading on the biology of sexuality, I know there are many biological factors such as differences in the brain etc, but i do know alot about the psychology of gender, which is similiar and i believe a big part of your sexuality is because of how you were...

    HIV: Are scare tactics useful anymore?

    oh ok, well thats very concerning. I still think the right course of action is to be upfront with what is going on, scare tactics just breed hatred for minority groups, yes they might get people to wear condoms, but its dishonnest and not right. Give people the truth, the upfront facts and then...

    HIV: Are scare tactics useful anymore?

    Its more because of the numbers than anything, the gay community allready has a large, established population of HIV pos people. They also engage in riskier behaviour, anal sex is about 10x more likely to result in transmission than normal vaginal sex. IV drug use is also about 10x more likely...

    Would you eat Camel?

    Theres not many foods i wouldnt try, as long as its an actual dish, and people somewhere eat it. Cannibalism or primates[too close for comfort] i wouldnt unless i had to for survival, but if i was travelling, i would still give gross stuff a try like balut and even something really disgusting...

    HIV: Are scare tactics useful anymore?

    Whilst thats a classic, fantastic add...its very intellectually dishonest. The statistics say its pretty much only gays and IV drug users who have HIV and they tend to keep it in their own areas. How many babies and cute little white girls are actually getting aids in australia? It isnt...

    Would you eat Camel?

    Hmmm.... the thought of eating it seems kind of distasteful, and if its that expensive i wouldnt buy it, but i guess when i was a kid i thought the same of kangaroo, which i now know is a delicious lean, moist meat and the kangaroo has nice soft paws so it doesnt damage the soil, and they are in...

    Should women be allowed to serve in the infantry?

    Yeah, i say let them have a shot at it, just dont expect many to make it. Whilst theres probably... i dont know, a few hundred women in the defence force who would be fit enough for front line duty, theres probably only about a dozen who are mentally strong enough. By all means though, let them...

    Should women be allowed to serve in the infantry?

    Its not just about being physically fit though, its about having the right mental grit with a splash of the right kind of fucked up to be good enough. Someone said before that SAS elite troops had a similiar style of thinking serial killers. How many female serial killers can you name? The vast...

    Should women be allowed to serve in the infantry?

    You arent ruling out half the eligible population, you are ruling out the maybe 20 or so elite women who are fit enough, strong enough and mentally hard enough to survive and be effective on the front line. Theres a world of difference between normal army fitness for non combatants like...

    Should women be allowed to serve in the infantry?

    I never said it was fair, and I dont support it, i am all for equality. I am trying to think of valid reasons why the army thinks women aren't allowed on the front lines and that came up as a strong reason from my army friends. I dont know if men SHOULD act protective of women. Part of me feels...

    Peter Grarret - morally compromised?

    funny, but he is probably a lot more realistic now he is actually in politics. If i was him i would be doing the same thing, nuclear powerplants are the only viable alternative to burning dirty, polluting coal.
