Sex offenders driving with bright green license plates.

Rape and molestation can never be justified, however, I would also go far enough to say that you should not walk around with honey in your pocket if you dont want to be inundated with flies. And young women need to know that they can't walk around town as a flirtatous half-dressed teaser and expect not to be confronted by some horny guy with a long beard, glasses and trench coat. And if he is breathing heavily you are in for double the trouble.

I have heard women many times say, "I should be able to wear anything I want to and not get raped." which is 100% correct in a perfect world. But because not every creep thinks that way, if you don't want to be in that situation, you best not do the things that would facilitate that.

If she wears a bikini to the beach and the trench coat guy shows up, there is something wrong with him.. but if she wears that same bikini to the mall and the trench coat guy shows up, then there is something wrong with her.

Parenting (or lack of).

I worked as a teacher at an elementary school for four years. Safety is paramount. Pictures of all the registered sex offenders living nearby were posted in our staff workroom. In addition, I was talking with one of my junior high students who had a paper route in the area, and he informed me that one of his clients was a sex offender, and his newspaper supplier had informed my student and his parents of that fact and had supplied the sex offender's address.

If there's a reasonable chance that you will attempt to harm another person, based on your having been convicted of the same type of crime in the past, you deserve to have signs in your front yard, different plates, hell, even walk around with a placard on stating what you've been convicted of. Innocent people don't deserve to be put at risk to protect a convicted felon's civil rights.

No, there isn't anything wrong with her in either case. There is something wrong with you, however, for thinking that way. In fact, you started off with claiming there was never any justification for rape, but you wrote your whole paragraph justifying rape. Perhaps this thread should keep going...let people's true colors come out...
