Saturday, July 15, 2006 ----- BLANK NOISE PROJECT: Rape or not?
BLANK NOISE PROJECT: Rape or not?
i have mixed feelings about this post.
everyone is entitled to their opinion, so i am posting mine here so that people do not come back with hateful remarks.
a girl does not deserved to be raped because she is drunk. a guy should know better than to have sex with a girl that is that drunk. temptation is a bad thing. i'm not trying to justify his actions. but...yeah, there is a but. people should know their limits. they should not drink if they don't know how to handle themselves. now here is my real opinion...there were only 2 people there. and one of them was drunk. did he have a right to violate her. NO. but nobody knows the whole story. how many times have girls come on to guys because they are drunk and have on the beer goggles? how many times have people done stuff when they are drunk that they normally wouldn't do sober??? how can you say that this girl did not consent? she doesn't remember. that sucks. for her. who's to say that this girl did not throw caution to the wind and have casual sex with him and then feel guilty the next day? i, myself have done things in a drunken state with my own husband and then the next day i can't believe that i did or said the things that i did. how many times have people gotten so drunk that they say they passed out and don't remember. i can think of a few instances where people i know say that, but i was with them the whole night and not once did they pass out. they might have blacked out and done things unknowingly, but they did not pass out. what if this is the case here? what if she thinks that she passed out, but merely blacked out that part of the night. he might have thought she was still coherent enough. i know that i talk to people who the next day do not remember the conversation we had the night before. they weren't passed out. he shouldn't have taken advantage of her since he was supposed to be the responsible party-security guard taking her home to ensure her safety. if he did rape her, and they let him go...that sucks for society. but nobody will ever know the truth. not even her. it was a hard lesson for her to learn, but maybe she will be more responsible. maybe he will know better than to have sex w/ a drunk girl. who knows? she did not deserve it, but he does not deserve to go to jail if she did consent. she does not remember. that's what it comes down to. in saying that, i'm not saying that because she does not remember that means she did consent. nobody but the guy will ever know. and that sucks.
*patty*
me.
Sometimes I'm mad at the world, and I take it out on everyone around me...but for the most part, I'm happy with my life...
But I am a dreamer...I am a MOM, a WIFE, a daughter, an aunt, a sister, a cousin, a grandaughter, a neice, a hardworker, a true friend,
a nag, lazy, mean, bitchy, bossy and hard to deal with, but that's me...
I'm me, no matter what that may be....you can either love me, or hate me...
Did you know that every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back...
I've learned you gotta live your life to it's fullest, cause tomorrow is not promised to us, we gotta take each day and live it like it was our last.
I wanna LOVE my husband like he's never been loved, I wanna be the best mom that I can be to my kids.
I wanna ROCK OUT, WITH MY CROTCH OUT (not literally)...I don't want to have one single regret the day that I die...
I want for people to remember me...
When I grow up, I want to be a photographer...I want to take beautiful pictures of people...it's just my silly dream, don't know if I'll ever get around to doing it....one day Patty, one day...
