You see children, this is why you don't do drugs.

Everyone makes mistakes, especially young people, but the outpouring of support for the victims and their families is obscuring what ought to be a flashing neon warning for potential future victims.

Whenever a gun is used in a crime, there are never-ending news stories about how dangerous guns are. But these girls go out alone, late at night, drunk off their butts, and there's nary a peep about the dangers of drunk women on their own in public. It's their "right."

Yes, of course no one "deserves" to die for a mistake. Or to be raped or falsely accused of rape for a mistake. I have always been unabashedly anti-murder, anti-rape and anti-false accusation -- and I don't care who knows about it!

But these statements would roll off the tongue more easily in a world that so much as tacitly acknowledged that all these messy turns of fate followed behavior that your mother could have told you was tacky.

Yes Ann, it's common knowledge that every party that one goes to, every bar that one drinks at, and every frat house that has a kegger bash in this country, ends up with a woman getting raped, kidnapped, or murdered. It's amazing to me that there are even any women left in the world because they can't even go to happy hour after work without disappearing, never to be seen again.
:eyes:

The BIG problem that I have with this article (besides it being written by Coulter that is), is that she absolutely cheapens the horrible, criminal of a woman getting raped. She actually implies, with a sort of "hand waving you away" arrogance, that when it happens, it is just an everyday occurrence, and they were probably just asking for it anyway.

And if you are a girl in Aruba or New York City, among the best ways to avoid being the victim of a horrible crime is to not get drunk in public or go off in a car with men you just met.

Ann, do us all a favor, and just advocate putting women in burkas, and making it a stoning offense for them to be out in public without a male relative. The way you use fear mongering, as an to attempt to get your point across, is beyond sad, it is despicable.

I for one, being the perfect saint that I am, have never gotten drunk in an unfamiliar place, or attended a rowdy party. I mean, how could I with all those thugs and criminals that frequent those kinds of places? That would be suicide.

And of course, she has to give her obligatory grab at the Clenis:

and every Democrat who voted for Bill Clinton feels the need to defend duplicity, adultery, lying about adultery, sexual harassment, rape, perjury, obstruction of justice, kicking the can of global Islamo-fascism down the road for eight years and so on.

You have finally crossed over Ann. You have crossed over that fine line of rejection, and stepped into revulsion. But revulsion, while it may sound cruel, is not all bad mind you. It actually serves a useful purpose; it clues you to the fact that you're just on the wrong path. It's a subtle hint that you really need to find some socially beneficial role to fulfill.

You have indeed found that role. It's the role of the pariah. If you don't know what that really means Ann, I'll supply you with an analogy. A pariah, is the person that the kids point at, giving them that extra urge to do well in school, stay off drugs, and the example of what NOT to do, so that they can make something of themselves so they don't end up like you.

So thanks, you are actually fulfilling a vital service to our society.
