    I didn't say anything negative about you, I just said as a matter of fact, you were one of the people who got upset - and I realize that it was YESTERDAY. Why do you view it and choose to describe it as me purportedly 'dragging' you back into the convo? I'm not. Sheesh.

    I didn't say you did say anything negative. If you're not dragging anyone back into it, why frigging tag us? Don't single two of us out then get indignant when one of us asks you not to. That's just bullshit plain and simple and you know it.

    (And yes I'll wear a temporary ban if required for my language)

    You call that tagging? What am I supposed to do, pretend it didn't happen? I don't want to talk to you, is that plain enough for you? I don't mind talking to you, but I just was having a brief convo with @federica about it. IF anything, you're the one who wants their name in neon freakin' lights here. I doubt seriously anyone but you would 'tag' me as being indignant.

    Relax.

    Thanks... but there was a time where my mother was raped in my apartment and I was asleep in my room, but she couldn't fight back because she didn't want me to hear and come out. Self-defense isn't always the solution. The solution is cutting the problem off at the source.

    That's literally a crying shame, although I'm unsure why you think self-defense wouldn't have helped her (or anybody else in that position). Its a real puzzler to me. How old were you, if you don't mind me asking? And I have no idea what your idea is of 'cutting the problem off at the source.'

    I was 14. She didn't want to make any noise through self-defense because it happened so fast. I mean cut it off at the source by discouraging rape in society, that is, being more socially aware that there are "rapists around every corner", as @Kerome put it. To see someone say that there aren't is a blow to the gut and shows just how in-the-dark men can be about this. Cutting the problem off at the source means teaching men not to rape, teaching them that they don't have a "higher sex drive" that they can do nothing about.

    So, I take it the police were of no use, then?

    What the schnapps? What kind of retort is that? I had to get ushered out of the ER when she had to get an HIV test. Stop. No. Police are of no use when it comes to rape after the fact. It's not like a robbery where you can get your stuff back. The police can't un-rape my mother, no.

    @IchLiebte - Sometimes the police are helpful - it depends on where. All the things you seem to be getting mad at me for, is the failures of our communities and our societies. So, are you or are you not a Buddhist aspirant? `

    @silver :unamused: It's clear you're quite hopeless, so I'm out of this. Educate yourself and then maybe try having a conversation with me. Peace.

    ... being temporarily/unintentionally naughty? :p

    Naughty! [I know naughtiness]

    As we all know, peace is generated by word, deed and if one has sufficient dharma sprinkles, presence. It is up to us to make the second and third step. The first always.

    What if we are fuelled by raging Dukkha hormones? Painful indignation or anger management issues? Claws growing out of ones head? Answers to:

    the usual lobster naughty corner :3
