i don't think anyone here would disagree with the idea that a college girl should go out and get passing out drunk by herself. Not that she should be blamed if she gets raped, but she should still be required to take some reasonable precautions. For example I don't blame a person who gets killed when another driver strikes his car, but I still think it is a good idea for every driver to wear seatbelts to protect them from the acts of others.
Freddie, you think that there is a line?
There is a line. However, people will cross that line. When they do, they should be held accountable, only when proven beyond all reasonable doubt that they were guilty.
I would never argue that a women deserved rape. I will not, however, feel sorry for a woman that decided to put herself in a dangerous situation. Just like I didn't feel sorry for Steve Irwin when he was killed.
