Rape worse than murder ?

DaveDaRave

Someone said footloose raped their eyes, people raged.
If he said footloose murdered his eyes, no-one would care.
Why the double standards ?

You think rape is worse than murder ?

Well id rather be raped than murdered, thanks.

Murder is obviously worse than rape.

Both are terrible.

Why would you ever need to grade them, unless you're involved in deciding sentences for criminals?

Well, whichever it is you've rightly put me off Footloose.

There was an over reaction to that post I think.

There is life after rape, no life after murder. Probably sounds cold to a rape victim but there it is.

Your subliminal message is duly noted.

We're missing the really important question here:











Which is worse: hericide or episcopicide?

Apparently all the rage in south africa is for women to buy yokes with metal teeth and keep them warm down their nether regions. If anyone tries to rape them it basically rips the lad to shreds.

Dunno if there's a male version :P but I'd say it's bloody uncomfortable!

I think society views rapists with even more disdain than murderers.

"Let's not turn this rape into a murder"... nah in all seriousness, they're both heinous but I have to go with murder being (slightly) worse than rape. But it's not like a food pyramid, you shouldn't try either OP.

I agree. Theres worse things than death.

Let's be realistic - rape is a very serious assault on a person. But it ain't murder. Criminally, there are both heinous crimes and should carry similar, but not equal sentences. Only because there has to be a deterrent against murder as differentiated from rape.

But it doesn't take their life. A strong-minded person will be scarred by it, but will get over it. Yes there are those that will always be afraid to go out at night and so on but I'd like to think that with effective counselling, most would still be able to lead relatively normal lives. (maybe I'm being naive, I'm an optimist).

It's hard to make a decision hypothetically, but I cannot under any circumstances see a way that if given the choice I'd choose death over rape. The human instinct is to survive no matter what, after all.

You can't get over death.

Having not died yet, I can't possibly comment. I think though perhaps with time and therapy you could recover from rape, you can't recover from death.

No way!! I'm posting from beyind the grave
On a more serious note,both offences should carry a mandatory life sentence because in my eyes they are equal in offence.

Riddle101

Why does one have to be worse then the other, why can't both be equally bad? I mean, they're both serious offences with harsh consequences. With murder, you die. With Rape, you have to live with that traumatic memory for the rest of your life, not to mention being raped itself is a pretty bad expierence. I wouldn't wish my worst enemy that type of faith.

DaveDaRave

my point was posters were getting extremely offended by the OPs use of the word "rape", by saying his eyes were getting raped by the new footloose movie. However they wouldnt be offended if he said his eyes were murdered, an equally or more serious offence (arguable i guess). i wanted to know, why are they so offended by one and not by the other ?

A very old gentleman told me years ago that in his time there was no such thing as rape, because he reckoned that a woman with her skirt up could run faster than a man with his trousers down.

deco nate

if someone kills you,thats the end off.
if you are raped,how do you go about your life??
ah sure they did'nt kill me??
sure ill be grand:rolleyes:

Wouldnt say anyone fully recovers from a rape. Know a few people that were the victims of abuse/rape. It eats away at people like a cancer. People that have survived murder attempts dont seem to carry the same baggage.

People who haven't survived them carry no baggage.

He's stated his opinion, one I agree with. I could call you a bullshítter for having your opinion, but I don't.

You're the one who needs to grow up, to be fair. (And maybe learn to punctuate :pac:)

That's the reason why saying the movie murdered your eyes wouldn't be considered as offensive imo. Murder was always considered heinous by society but rape wasn't at all. In the bible the punishment for murder is death and the punishment for rape is a fine of 50 shekels and having to marry the victim.

Because it's only newly considered to be a heinous crime people think of it as worse than other more run of the mill crimes. Imo

No I didn't. You're deluded if you think that's what I was trying to do.

I nor anyone else on this thread should have to listen to you spout any more rubbish. That is, of course, after we've decoded the thinly veiled insults from your txtspk.

I am not. I'm just trying to point out why I think that murder is worse than rape. You are welcome to disagree without insulting me. I'd prefer not to be raped or murdered, but if given a choice I'd go for the former. Your opinion may vary.

This isn't to make light of rape, it really isn't. Victims of rape have to suffer personally, victims of murder can't suffer in a direct sense because they're dead, but that crime to my mind is still more heinous. I don't know where this vitriol is coming from. Again, it's just my opinion and is shared by the legal system of most countries.

ok,you need to get a grip.
really!cop on ffs.you seem to think im goin after you.
