20. I agree. DU could survive easy if 6-0 alerters were taken out of the game for 2 days.

When you can't get even one of those 6 people to vote against a loathsome ****** such as myself, well, that's a weak alert, right there.

What gets me- what galls me- is the blatant disingeunuousness of the alerts, and the hyperbole around stuff like this thread.

It is spun as "mocking rape", when it is doing no such thing.

What it's mocking is the persistent attempts on the part of certain people to argue- in the face of zero evidence or even contradictory evidence- that things like porn, or dongle jokes, or draino commercials with sexy innuendo somehow have something to do with rape.

Continually making these arguments- essentially, trying to attach unrelated cultural complaints to the very real problem of rape- that trivializes the seriousness of rape IMHO.

Rapists cause rape, and that's where the blame for rape ought to lie. We should all be able to agree on that.

How does it work if you alert and lose? nt naaman fletcher Apr 2013 #13

I believe if you lose 6-0 on your alert, you are not allowed to alert for 24 hours. (n/m) ProudToBeBlueInRhody Apr 2013 #14

thanks nt naaman fletcher Apr 2013 #15

It should be *48* hours. pacalo Apr 2013 #19

My own personal belief is that rapists are probably motivated more than anything else pacalo Apr 2013 #21

I think some people are deeply damaged or otherwise, I suppose, fucked up is the proper word. Warren DeMontague Apr 2013 #31

Absolutely. There are bad seeds, too. pacalo Apr 2013 #32

I suppose some people become fucked up enough to be rapists due to childhood trauma. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2013 #33

In any case, the rapist seems to have a lot of disrespect for women pacalo Apr 2013 #34

I agree that it seems to be motivated by rage, hate and disrespect. Warren DeMontague Apr 2013 #35
