Being Raped Is Better? WTF?

On another forum I frequent, the topic of guns came up. The original post asked about folks with guns in the house.

Naturally, I stuck my nose in and came across the following response:

I'd rather lose valuables and heirlooms or be raped than kill a man.

Seriously?

There are people who think this way?

To me, this demonstrates no regard for self.

Sorry, but you're an idiot in my book.

Which reminds me of the quote: "A woman raped and strangled is morally superior to a woman with a smoking gun and a dead rapist at her feet."

I guess we should allow all rapes to occur rather than fight back.

Good thinking.

Idiots.

Thought For The Day

"No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion."

"When the history of the 20th century is finally written, one of its key features will be the wanton slaughter of more than 170 million people, not in war, but by their own government. The governments that led in this slaughter are the former USSR (65 million) and the Peoples Republic of China (35-40 million). The point to remember is that these governments were the idols of America's leftists. Part of the reason for these and other tyrannical successes was because the people were first disarmed."

Thought For The Day

"The society of late twentieth century America is perhaps the first in human history where most grown men do not routinely bear arms on their persons and boys are not regularly raised from childhood to learn skill in the use of some kind of weapon, either for community or personal defense....It also happens to be one of the rudest and crudest societies in history....With little fear of physical reprisal Americans can be as loud, gross, disrespectful, pushy, and negligent as they please. If more people carried rapiers at their belts, or revolvers on their hips, it is a fair bet you would be able to go to a movie and enjoy he dialogue from the screen without having to endure the small talk, family gossip and assorted bodily noises that many theater audiences these days regularly emit. Today, discourtesy is commonplace precisely because there is no price to pay for it."
