Out-groups and berhaviors, stemming from joking about rape

I suppose when my foot goes halfway up his butt hole it would technically count as sodomy, but I think you're just trying to make a joke about a very serious problem with society.

Sodomy isn't funny, and it will come back to you in the end!

That just happened.

WTF are "out-groups and berhaviors" ??

A "behavior" is an observable action taken deliberately. An "out-group" is a a category of one or more people considered to be outside of the the central, popular, or normal group.

Your saying that if they were talking about real rape, that would be awful, but since they were just comparing the similarities between winning a basketball game and rape, there was nothing awful about it? Say, just like when a left-wing-nut compared Bush to Hitler, or a right-wing-nut compares Obama to Hitler, there is no stigma attached, it's just a metaphor?

Comparing winning basketball to rape trivializes rape, in the same way comparing Bush/Obama to Hitler trivializes Hitler. The difference is that Hitler is gone, but rape is something people face every day.

I think you have it backwards.

The rape is being used to elevate a rather meaningless sports win into something more, a brutal act of dominance. One has to acknowledge the brutality of rape in order for the metaphor to work.

We don't have a culture that rountinely minimizes death, and its considered rude to go up to mourners of a recent death and blame them for the death. By contrast, we live in a culture that minimizes rape, and its very common to blame the rape victims and their friends after a rape. So yes, I reacted to one, and not the other.

Are these facts, or just your personal assessment? I feel that there is at LEAST as much desensitization to death as to rape in our culture, and it's just as easy for me to find fringe groups that protest at funerals as to find fringe groups who blame the rape victim. It seems that your whole argument hinges on your own personal context of what should or should not be considered "offensive".

WADR, I know what a behavior is. Please re-read the question.
 
I personally wish that you guys find something less vile a thing as rape to mock One Brow with.

Hell, let's go back to the topic of you guys being mob-like ******** to anyone who doesn't fall in line with your group hug actions. That'd be much more acceptable.
 
On a more serious note, does the OP suffer from hemophobia? I only ask because it's never fun to suffer from fear of anything.
Just found it curious why there was not punctuation (.) at the end of the thread title.

You WILL hug all of us exactly HOW we want you to do it. If not, we'll kill your family.
 
Woah, this thread is brutal. Started out horribly and the STD took it from there.
