The boys that stood around and "watched" .. and did exactly "nothing" .. are just as guilty of rape as the ones that were doing the actually doing raping.

Just exactly how hard can that be for folks to understand?
I didn't read it exactly like that the last time. You painted it a little clearer that time what you meant, being proactive to get away or report the situation or even stop the crime. I agree with that.

I am only saying that as a good example, it will always 100% of the time, be the liberals that are the apologists. They will somehow try and find an angle, a justification, a rationalization, a way to excuse the behavior. Not all liberals.
Then when they get the perps to court there will of course be the attorney that champions the excuse, and the bleeding heart juror that buys the excuse and the judge that trims the punishment. Every time all the time they will be liberals.

How about trying to stick to the topic at hand when you make the sweeping generalizations? Thanks ever so.

Karfar it appears to me that finally we agree on everything except the more finite aspects of the case. We could once and for all and with great finality solve this one minor difference you and I have by polling the rapists and the bystanders.
If we could ask them the question, "Who did you vote for or support in th e last presidential election they would have only three possible answers: 1. Obama 2. Who or 3. Huh?

Exactly...I mean, in all honesty, does it even matter which political party offers excuses for the rapists? Does that change anything that happened to this young girl?...

If there was someone getting raped right in front of our faces, I swear, some of us would be too busy arguing politics anyway, and trying to ascribe political labels to peoples' opinion, to prevent the attack or make a difference in the attack one way or the other...

It would help all involved immensely if you could A. not imbibe while posting or if you do imbibe, make some sort of sense B. stick to the topic at hand & C. stick to the topic at hand that has nothing to do w/politics. Or if you prefer, I could contact the mods & let them know that some children can't play by the rules & feel the need to hijack a thread? Your choice of course.

Mistreatment of women is endemic to the Islamic culture.

Islam is Right Wing and absolutist.

I see correlations.
