amen sista.
Rape is such a nasty word….I like to consider it surprise sex.
Best pick up line: Does this rag smell like chloroform to you?
wait….I’ve done this before. I’ve made these jokes….So sad that my old account was deleted.
Rape is a nasty word, Hfx, because it is a nasty act.
Maybe you should keep your rape jokes amongst your junior high friends if you are looking for laughs.
Agree with the OB completely.
I never said rape was a good thing. Just saying the word sounds nasty.
You can joke about anything with no real consequences because this is the internet and your mother told me I could make those jokes….after I fucked her.
hfx you are beyond. lets hope you dont have any daughters ever. no matter, i hope no female close to you ever gives you a reason to feel the repercussions of rape. if you think the word sounds nasty maybe you should be on the receiving end of the act of rape. in certain circumstances men are not immune you know. but i would never wish such a violent act on anyone, not even the ignorant like you.
Right on, Woggie! Sock it to the ignorant, the violent and the stupid among us.
In this morning’s Gazette there was the story out of India about three sisters between the ages of 5 and 11 who were gang-raped by people like zilla. What a piece of shit!
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Ignorant? I don’t think you know what that word means.
I hope you get wrapped wog.
hurr durr see wut i did thar?
From Wikepedia: *Rape* is a type of sexual assault usually involving *sexual intercourse*, which is initiated by one or more persons against another person *without that person’s consent*. The act may be carried out by physical *force*…
So yes, she was *forced* to have *sexual intercourse*, or *raped*. Both are correct.
And your idea of “rape” being romantic makes me wonder…
MM i feel so bad for the women in India. they have so much repression to deal with and a long road ahead of them for acceptance. let alone equality. yes zilla sounds a lot like the men in that god forsaken country. if not i wonder if there would be any way to smuggle him into india on some barge. he’s a little worse than a piece of shit.
If anything, Wogshite, they feel sorry for you. You could’t get laid in india even if you had horns, a brass bell and a silver nameplate on your harness that read “Daisy”.
There are sick sacks of shit out there, who get off on hearing stories of women being raped.Just saying
If a man rapes a woman and it can be proved without dispute, his dick should be placed into one of Ilsa’s (of ‘She-Wolf of the SS’ fame) mini-guillotine, chopped off and fed to the pigs.
ivan you make light of a very serious problem with wiomen everywhere esp in india. my response to you is the same i told hfx. but knowing you. you would probably like to be on the receiving end, sicko that you are. i guess in your case anything is better than nothing.
Wrong again, Honey. I make light of you and your on-line persona. Just you. So stand up on your own hind legs and stop hiding behind others. Your own self delusions are a pathetic enough shield, but they suit you perfectly.
“By the pooey knickers of Sister Brenda of Rhimmlapp, I swear this to be so.”
ivan i just realized something. by making light of such a serious issue like rape and female oppression, you have probably caused a few on here to see you as you really are. that, my friend, is going to cost you some serious bribe gifts at the next summit. you will probably never really know for sure if those bribe gifts got you over this hurdle. on second thought skip the bottle of 74 and your visit to the gutter for today. you got some serious gifts to put together to squirm your way outta this one buddy. tsk, tsk…
Claiming I’m a rapist is typical of someone who supports a religion that spends most of its time shitting on everyone. Go protect more priests while they rape little kids you disgusting excuse for a human.
lalalalalala you just got rapped!
God shall wrap you with his rap stick.
Rap is good. Rap is awesome. Everyone should enjoy Rap. Rap rap rap rap rap rap.
montrealman can’t handle all this rap. He gets mad over rap so easily. I bet he was wrapped. lalalalalalal rap.
Wogshite, every word you type is an endorsement of the robust sort of misogyny only found in sexual psychopaths and organized religion. I’ll put my trust in my flesh and blood friends and not your imaginary ones.
just telling it like it is ivan. take my advice i gave tt thibk before you speak. get goin on those gifts ivan you got A LOTTA WORK AHEAD of you. SERIOUSLY. YOU MUFFED UP BAD BUDDY.
Hey, Ivanski, if you’re ‘muffed up’, I’d say you’re a lucky man!
“just telling it like it is ivan. take my advice”
Since every word you type, including conjunctions and prepositions is a bald-faced lie, the only place I’ll be taking your advice is down to the harbour to bob around with the rest of the untreated sewage. I will, however, be unveiling a bold new work at the next summit, titled “The Mind of Wogdog “

Be sure to pop over and say hello.
but isn’t this the same chick that is now not co-operating with the cops. good thing it wasn’t one of my relatives , they wouldn’t have been called. we take care of our own, and mercy and pity falls way behind in the priorities of things.
nah i don’t associate with haters like you who make fun of raping women. fun is fun but that, my non-friend, is where you crossed the line. and i bet i’m not the only one who feels that way. i will venture to say i am probably the only one to admit it. why. because i can’t be bought br your bribery gifts. thank heavens MM figured that one out for all of us. who woulda thunk it.
Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, are you Wogshite? Sub-literate compostion , no syntax and zero comprehension skills. All the originality of a metronome.
The only line crossed here, was when you deluded yourself that you could play with the grownups.
ivan, the man who jokes about raping women, has spoken.

Good afternoon Woggie. Well, you certainly have been busy with the haters, particularly the pompous “Chairman”, and I want you to know that I admire your fortitude. If you don’t mind, I’d like to add just a thought or two to your comments.
: (02/27, 12:13PM)
Yes Woggie, one can only shudder at the plight of the women of India, even if they are not members of the “Untouchables.” And the complicity of the police. What a country! The oppression of women is systemic. All rapists, of course, are cowards and defenseless women, particularly the very young, are targets to prove their “manhood.” They are just swine, Woggie. And you’re right about zilla too. Compared to him a piece of shit looks pretty good.
: (1:19PM)
You’re right again when you say the the “Chairman” has crossed the line. The reason for that, of course, is that in spite of his exalted position among his lap dogs, sycophants and bum-suckers, he is a very little man in every sense of the word.
: (1:41PM)
One can only hope that you are right about that, Woggie, seeing the “Chairman” as he really is. However, his “gift-giving” power play appears to have duped a number of individuals on this board and those who haven’t been sucked in by those “gifts” have been conned by his false “bonhomie”. Take note of those upon whom he shines the light of his approval, those whom he glad-hands and those whom he back-slaps. Without minds of their own, they bask in the warm glow of his approval.
(1:54PM)
Yes Woggie, you are indeed just “telling it like it is.” I wonder if, for the next summit, he’ll wrap his “gifts” and perhaps even write a little accompanying note. That should have them eating out of his hand. The stomach turns.
(3:17PM)
No Woggie, you’re certainly not the only one who feels that way. I know you can’t be bought and that’s why I admire you.
As a concluding thought Woggie, I was thinking that it might be a good idea to close down communication with the “Chairman” as, it appears, you have already done with the Crone. You see Woggie, they have the same vindictive, obsessive personal profile. They are haters, just two bitter people. I don’t even bother reading their posts anymore but, of course, the decision is yours.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
I’d like to go on record and say that I don’t think we should have cruel and unusual punishment, such as chopping dicks off, in Canada. The sentencing is way too soft though. It should be treated like a murder.
However, to add to that. These crimes are hardly ever reported.. that has to change in order for anything to get better.
Most rapes or sexual assaults go unreported because the police,courts and even our mental health systems re-victimizes rape(sexual assault) victims.
Rape is a strong nasty word as the rapper pointed out. The sound of the word will make people change the station they are watching/ listening to. The media has a responsibility to their sponsors to make sure that people don’t do that. IMO that’s why they avoid certain words.
I get that Boru but there are people sitting in a cell right now because they sexually assaulted someone. Clearly the system works sometimes. I don’t know what, but something needs to be done to increase the percentage of cases that are reported. But no one can force the victim to come forward it has to start with them.
As far as what to do with the perp once he is found guilty, I’m for sentencing similar to first degree murder charges or they should be put in a mental hospital until he is deemed fit for release. The way it is now, a rapist can straight up tell the prison “don’t let me out, I’ll reoffend” and they let him out anyway because his sentence is up and they can’t keep him. That’s crazy. That happened in a case I read about in be paper years ago, I believe it was the guy who assaulted the gas station attendant and slit her throat. The woman survived. The system didn’t look out for the public’s safety in that instance.
Yes the police,courts have learned how to better deal with sexual assault victims over the years unfortunately the victim is still mistreated and not given the supports they need to be able to heal from sexualized trauma’s.
Even the mental health system in NS are ignorant of how best to deal with those who have suffered sexualized traumas.What professionals at mental health do is send Avalon Sexual Assault Centre the people(some men/boys)
who mental health “can’t” fix or don’t know how to help them.Avalon receives very little from the government per year to cover those costs.They recently had to let go their “go between” for the victim and court.She made a huge difference in the rapes being reported along with the nurse who meets the victim at hospital,to support the victim and to make sure a rape kit is done after the rape occurred.
IMO Things have changed a little; not enough to make a difference.Women are still treated badly.
I really don’t think changes to system the rests on the victim’s shoulders. If the reporting process is so horrible for victims, how are they supposed to do anything about it? Unless you had about 10 witnesses, who were neither your family or friends, and who filmed it, good fucking luck. All the perp has to say is “I thought she would like it.” Case closed. No malicious intent, no rape.
People may be sitting in jail for assault, but for every one of them, there are ten more people walking around free who should be there beside them, and that certainly is not the fault of the victim. After being assaulted, it’s hard enough to remember to eat and breathe, let alone to try to change the legal system.
The fact that Avalon lost funding for their legal advocate, one of the few people who actually supported assault victims with the reporting process just shows how little the government cares about sexual assault and its victims. The government has no problem handing money out to businesses who don’t need it, yet victims of crime and abused animals get less and less.
You’re just supposed to walk into some building with strangers and you have no idea what’s going on, they leave you waiting, they’re disorganized, you’re terrified you’re going to say the wrong things, everything is so uncomfortable, and you can barely form sentences that make any sense. Oh, and you’re completely alone. No one is allowed to accompany you. Because the assumption is that you’re a liar. It’s a horrible process, and to say it’s up to victims to change it is ignorant.
eh.. why did I start this again..
You could argue that it ‘shouldn’t’ be up to the victims to change the system but that’s how it’s always been and always will be. No one is ever going to care about your suffering than you. People in the past have had to fight for their rights, they weren’t handed them. The civil rights movement for example. African Americans didn’t just sit around and wait for the government to allow them to vote and be equal members of society. They fought. If victims of this awful crime continue to suffer in silence, what is anyone supposed to do about it?
As far as police assuming you’re lying, that’s going to be the case any time you have a situation where it’s your word against that of someone else, no matter the crime. Not sure what if anything can be done about that. Maybe we need a task force like Law & Order SVU that specializes in these kinds of cases, maybe that would make it easier for victims to come forward and also to get a conviction. I’d be in favor of that, even though I’m not one for more public service employees. I think the cost would be justified if it got more rapists off the street. Do the HRP even have a sexual assault division or anything like that? If not they should. People should be able to deal with someone who is experienced or even specializes in these kinds of cases.
The sentencing needs to be stiffer too, like in the states. Canada has become somewhat of a haven for sex offenders. I’m not saying the system doesn’t need changes but what change could possibly make those 95% of victims decide to come forward? Answer me that. Give me some ideas. The victims have to take action. Of course people are going to be skeptical, of course people aren’t just going to believe you without conducting an investigation. That is not unique to sex crimes, it’s just that the guilt is harder to prove.
It sounds like you’re speaking to your specific experience. If so that really is terrible but there a lots of people who it has worked for. If you reported it and you had a solid case and things didn’t go your way then you have every right to blame the system, but if someone doesn’t report it they can’t just say it’s because of the system. The system can’t help you if you don’t try.
I don’t think the change rests entirely on the victim’s shoulders but when 90 something percent of cases are unreported we have a problem, and no one can do anything about it if they don’t know about it. I don’t know how anyone can dispute that. Does anyone really disagree that if more cases were reported, more convictions would be handed out? Anyone? Am I the only one who thinks that most of these offenders do it more than once because they get away with it?
I’m not disputing that a lot of these cases get handled poorly but I don’t think that’s a good reason 95% of victims to suffer in silence. If you care so much about helping victims, do your best to make sure rapists don’t get a chance to victimize other women by reporting them.
If I’m ignorant or a bad person for having this opinion that is based on logic and numbers than I guess I have to live with that. I just want to see less people, less women be victimized and I think that they need to speak up in order for that to happen. Change doesn’t happen overnight, especially when so few people speak up. I’ll vote for changes to the system, I’ll sign petitions, I’ll protest, I’ll stomp a rapists fucking head in but there’s only so much I can do as a non-victim.
I also wish we as a society could have more of a mature dialogue about this issue because it seems to always end the same way. We all want the same thing, less victims, more scumbags off the street. We all need to do our part.
If i were a cop, I’d plant drugs on rapists. because you KNOW a rapist only goes to jail for a few months if that. But a drug user spends their life there. Our system is fucked up. So why not make that work to their advantage? Sometimes i wish i was a cop.
