I had saved the name for months. When I finally got around to joining it was taken, but since I had never saw it I just shortened it. Should I change it? Is that possible?

You can, but why would you?

You shut your mouth!

Wasn't sure if it bothered sweetassodapop, and keep answering about the copycat.

You do understand that if there wasn't an "innocent until proven guilty" law many, many more men would be falsely accused and thrown in jail than there are now. It would be so much worse if that law didn't apply. In a perfect world you would be able to take a man/woman for their word but in the real world there has to be proof because of all the lies told from each side. Some may go free that were guilty because of lack of evidence, but way more innocent get to walk because of lack of evidence.

the fbi puts the percentage of false rape accusations around 8%. in truth, the idea that less that 35% of rapes are even reported at all suggests that we should be far more concerned that women we know have been raped / assaulted and don't feel safe enough or don't think they'll be taken seriously enough to report versus the idea that women are routinely throwing around rape accusations to ruin men's lives. that's where reading the data puts me, anyway. i do understand your point, tho.

I’m sorry for any confusion! I’ve had this name since 2012.

Name fight.

By law? No, not that I've ever seen. People say want about bad things all the time, unless that person implies an intent of following through with an action, no, not a classified as a threat.

How do we define intent?(by law)

If it’s just by following through with what you said it would no longer be a threat, right?

Considering "hill people" is offensive enough to some on this board to justify threatening (implied sexual) violence, maybe it's fitting that you posted this.

I sincerely hope that you nor I are part of that 8% when we quit requiring proof for a women to claim rape.

Well, sure. I'm just more concerned that statistically, more than one women or girl that I know and love will be raped or assaulted and there's a high probability nothing will be done about it.

Look, no one "wins" this discussion. Its depressing as hell. I'm gonna leave it alone.

"I am going to"- threat
"I will kill you" -threat

"I want to" - not threat
" I wish you were" not threat.
There is no law against wanting to smack someone. There is a law against telling them you're GOING TO .

It doesn't help that many national news rape cases end up being a hoax or money grab. That hurts men and women reporting rape more than anything

that 8% is a really high actual number if you think about it and justifiably creates pause for the others. Its unfortunate.

It would add a color to my rainbow if all accusations were genuine but that's not the case. Because of 8%, we have to vet every single one to make sure it's not one of the 8%.

I'd rather let a guilty man walk before putting an innocent man in prison, an ideal called Blackstones ratio and used to be a liberal ideal. Ben Franklin echoed the actual line with "it is better 100 guilty persons escape than one innocent person suffer".

It has flipped in the realm of rape for some reason.
