Tore my friend, its fine to say whats invalid in my arguments, but don't assume you've got me pegged. You might have your bases covered in biology but I don't quite think you've got people locked down.

There could be a strategy to rape of biological motives? I think your post makes it painfully clear you're too many feet in the biological grave. Not everything is as clear cut as the laws of gravity.



And this would position my argument very clearly. You tread dangerous waters to assert that there is anything consensual about an adult (usually 40+) raping a child or to suggest as glibly as you have that date rape is different than violent rape.

If you don't like my argument, that's fine. But lets not get into who knows what about what.

Thank you! I find myself liking a lot of your posts too.

Yes, ummm, well a theory is speculative in nature, so I don't get why you're taking the more knowledgeable than thou high-horse here?

And date rape involves drugging a person, not manipulation. You're probably mixing it up with statutory rape, which is consensual, but one party is underage. Like those schoolteachers who sleep with fourteen year old boys. I guess those teachers can be proud, knowing they're contributing towards EVOLUTION. Now if only she hadn't used a condom. :laughing:

Big3, nice reply. Doesn't debunk, provide support against or really comment on any of the points I brought up. In other words : :rolleyes:

I tread dangerous waters? What are you on about? If you use violence to subdue someone and forcefully have sex with them, that is a different behaviour from sneaky ****ing someone who's so drunk they've basically passed out. It seems logical to assume that some might be likely to do the latter, but not the first, so when talking about these behaviours and the people who do them, it should make sense to differentiate between different kinds/define what we mean by rape in the context we apply it to.

edit :

Don't wanna sound smarmy, but I have a degree in biology so that should count for a little at least. If you are a cobbler and act more knowledgable than me in a thread about shoes, should I complain about it? Also, be careful that you don't mix the scientific terms hypothesis and theory. There's a theory of gravity, but that doesn't mean people in general speculate on whether or not a rock will fall to to the ground if they pick it up and drop it.

When something is not certain (aside from the general uncertainness we have about anything) - or if my knowledge is lacking - then I try to mention that in my posts.

Edit: Forget it. I'm all set.

So, do people here believe that sex for pleasure is a bad thing? Because of the consequences?

Well I think we can count on technology to make a breakthrough sometime in the future that will allow us to f*ck as much as we want without overpopulating the planet.

If all men care about is some inherent desire to spread their genes but can't get laid, than how about sperm doning?

Some men just plain shouldn't spread their genes though.

We just like f*cking a lot. But I disagree with those who think it's purely natural to want to rape. I've been denied sex my whole life and I've never had this desire, and why would I lie when I'm so honest about all the other things that creep people out?

Rapists of the sexual assault variety tend to be emotionally and/or mentally unstable in some way or another. Sociopaths, Psychopaths, Narcissists, Sadists. People with a history of repression, abuse and bitterness towards the opposite sex. Something is psychologically out of order thus it is not biologically normal.

With date rape, well that's just an example of what happens when you combine horniness with inebriation and stupidity.

Exactly.

Men think of any excuse to make being a disgusting scumbag expectable.

"Don't worry baby let me rape you, IT'S SCIENCE!"

Give me a break.
