If the Toronto police

had had months, not days, to play with their female victims...

[T]he pale-skinned, brown-haired girl—half Croat, half Muslim—spoke of being imprisoned with her mother and two dozen other women in the basement of a municipal hall in her home town of Teslic, in north-central Bosnia. Her jailers, Bosnian Serb irregulars, raped her and the others and forced them to have sex with uniformed Bosnian Serb troops deploying through the area. She and her mother each had to watch as the other was gang-raped three times a day, every day, for four months. Mirsada was released only when she became visibly pregnant, and her jailer-rapists said, “Go bear our Serbian children.”

Rape as a weapon of war. Rape as a weapon of the state.

Would it surprise you to know that that doesn't hurt my feelings?

While you're checking into "passive voice," would you also look up "fulsome?" Sorry, but that misuse puts my teeth on edge.

I offered you the chance to re-state your arguments. That would include any instance of getting the facts wrong. If you're unwilling to do so, that's not of my doing. If you reconsider, try not to erect a huge, shoddy straw man.

Well. Johnny, at least you are reading them before you purge em from existance, eh?

Have fun re-writing the entire thread to "refine" your position.

Igarvin, when you write things like this: "Butshrieking out unsupported slander by the likes of Baglow..." you destroy your own credibility. The only mouth-frothing here is your own.

Adults have impulse control... and you, most assuredly, do not.

Idiots who fly off the handle are exactly what the authoritarianstate needs to justify the wholesale tramping on the rights of us all. You are precisely what the police state needs - a flaming idiot with a mouth five times the size of his brain.

Dawg is right to draw the comparison. It points out that these types of behaviours lie on a continuum, there is no line between what is acceptable and what is unacceptable; it's all unacceptable. And we aren't any better than the people "over there" where we expect these horrible abuses to happen.
