After the Paris massacre thing I think we both lost the right to demand censorship of offensive jokes.

I'm just asking nicely. It's just not something you joke about.

How do you rape a nun?

**** her without consent.

I asked nicely. But that's fine. I know I've joked about worse (we all have) but it's also not the first time I've asked for rape not to be used for humor. I've never once joked about it.

TH, the book we were just talking about recently, Sagan’s Forgotten Ancestors, deals with this really fairly. He explains where our genetic proclivities come from and makes a fantastic case, using evolutionary biology the entire way, that peace is possible.

I understand that. If she still says no you may have to take another approach.

We can end the rape jokes now. It'll only go south from here so just quit while you're all ahead.

The very obvious opinion on it: is bad.

How do you feel about rape?

Rabid animals; prosecute, incarcerate. Shoot them sometimes. Defend innocence enthusiastically.

I really want to read that. I wish it were on Kindle. Batty, what was that site again, that library one?

Sorry Hawk: for some reason it didn't take the other quote, the one about two causes for poverty. All I was saying is that it isn't the case (or wasn't) that people are just born poor and then it's their own fault they can't get out of poverty, but that the haves in society keep the have-nots down. I think that's a valid enough argument, is it?
