Kill them both after a SPEEDY trial and get them off the planet - we don't need to waste the air they breathe.

Them and child molesters. Send em on the expressway to the other side. Good riddance.

This might be off topic, but we can't forget that rape is at times bundled with a murder.......The argument over which is worse seems a little trite.

We all know that in Asia, that rape is seen as more socially acceptable. There are tons of guys over there that are into it and even help their friends carry it out. These guys were just exposing one of their collective norms that we find abhorrent. Just the term "rapeplay" sets me off, so I'll just pipe down. Just one last thing: Those fucking juveniles over there, and all their peers, can suck a b.o.d's. Without their consent.

but killing them would also help to reduce the population - just sayin.

Maybe we could make a video game about killing rapists and child molesters. Then we could sell it on Amazon and put the proceeds toward prevention or whatever. That way if kids emulated the game IRL they would...

I think you are painting Asia with an awfully broad brush there. Not a terribly accurate one either.

According to this website, Japan (which produced this video game) is #54 in the world for its rate of rape, with 0.017737 per 1,000 people. The United States is #9 with 0.301318 per 1,000 people. That's 17 times more rape case per capita in the USA.

You are right. I was supposing it was more prevalent when their Prime Minister gave it a public nod. Excuse me.

Rape stats. are only good if they are reported. If it is as common as eating breakfast with a large spoon, what is to report?

Let's not forget the forcible trafficking of young girls. Some people call it prostitution. I call that rape as well.

Aha...good point!

This whole thing really digs deep. I can't understand a culture that still treats women like they do. I'm sorry...you will never ever ever ever see me anywhere near anywhere there. Buncha sickos. Yeah I'm stereotyping, but I don't care.

I'm not a expert on Japanese culture, so I had to rely on the statistics I found doing a Google search. I guess I'll have to take you word for it that Asians think rape is normal.

WTF? You are kidding right? I don't think there is a culture in the world that accepts that.

Japan Pledges To Halt Production Of Weirdo Porn That Makes People Puke
Quote:
"We honestly had no idea people did not enjoy this stuff," said Cultural Affairs Minister Kazuhiro Nakai, expressing regret for the thousands of hours of bondage porn, rape porn, utensil-rape porn, food-rape porn, frozen-food-rape porn, vomit-enema porn, elder-care-coma-patient-rape porn, and the kind of a porn in which a nubile youth is kidnapped, stripped, tied down in a wading pool and raped. "We are deeply ashamed for whatever it is about these films that has made people around the world vomit so vigorously. Please know that the content was only intended to entertain and arouse."

Well that's what Cicero is saying. The statistics I found that counter it don't mean anything. Not just the site I linked but this one too.

I see from the stats that the rate per 100k is less. How did one make the leap that it was more accepted or tolerated in Japan? I must be missing the smoking gun where someone documented that behavior as acceptable. As I recall they had a pretty big fit when some Marines were accused of rape a few years back. I must be missing something.
