		<description>Why should anyone be surprised by such a statement?

In the United States in 2005, 37,460 white females were sexually assaulted or raped by a black man, while between zero and ten black females were sexually assaulted or raped by a white man.

What this means is that every day in the United States, over one hundred white women are raped or sexually assaulted by a black man.

Pitman? Because I, like Stacy, rescue them and know better than most people what great dogs they are. I have also participated in humane investigations and I know first hand that people that participate in this would kill a human in the blink of an eye. However, people just don&#039;t get it, it&#039;s not a damn contest.</description>

		<description>To follow up- this argument seems to be saying &quot;a person who abuses animals is worse than someone who commits crimes against humans because he/she will inevitably commit crimes against humans.&quot;</description>

		<description>I have seen the following argument made several times: &quot;dog fighting is worse than rape because because it is a gateway crime, leading to even worse offenses.&quot;

There are two logical problems with this argument.  First, the slippery slope argument always has the problem of causality- you have to prove that animal abuse is legitimately a gateway crime for other offenses.  Second, there is a false dichotomy: lets assume that sure, animal abuse is a gateway to greater offenses and that this should be considered in evaluating its severity. Shouldnt the same logic be applied to rape?  ie: Rape is a gateway crime for worse offenses, and this should be considered in evaluating its severity.</description>

		<description>You know I think some people are venting hatred on the wrong person.  He didn&#039;t say he thought rape was okay... He didn&#039;t say he thought crimes against women were okay.  He simply stated that in his opinion, torturing and killing animals is worse than what Kobe Bryant was accussed of.  On the scale of &quot;bad things&quot; I put them about on par with each other.  Of course everybody&#039;s opinion of th scale of &quot;bad things&quot; is going to be different.  A rape survivor may of course say rape is the worst thing in the world, possibly worse than murder.  But nobody here is saying rape is good.  Somebody who has lost a child in drive-by shooting will say gang warfare is the worst.  Somebody who came home from Iraq after losing a buddy might say war crimes are the worst.  Nobody is really saying anything any different.  They are all saying that LIFE (simply LIVING and also QUALITY of living) IS PRECIOUS and should be protected!!  Some won&#039;t get what I&#039;m saying and may think I&#039;m inhuman for saying that (just as a lot are saying of Larry Smith), some will understand where I&#039;m coming from in my feelings towards ALL life being precious (not just human life).  For a large quantity of people, torture, abuse, killing, in any form for any creature, is equally &quot;bad.&quot;  Does that mean I think rapists should get lower sentences closer to animal abusers?  No, quite the opposite!  I think animal abusers should get greater sentences closer to rapists.  Rarely is animal abuse the &quot;end&quot; of crime.  It&#039;s more often JUST the beginning.</description>

		<description>I stopped reading the comments after a while, *but I have to, as the raging feminist that I am, say a big AMEN to pitman&#039;s comment regarding the link between animal cruelty and crimes against humans.* It&#039;s not an either or choice. A person who would treat this kind of cruelty towards animals as entertainment isn&#039;t going to have respect for any other form of life either. 

&quot;We can judge the heart of a man by the way he treats his animals.&quot;</description>

		<description>Or

We could focus on resolving problems instead of subscribing to the fatalist idea you have mentioned.  It&#039;s those kind of thoughts that lead the world to the state it&#039;s in.  Think of economists who make the statements &quot;In the long run we are all dead&quot; as a reason to not worry about the long-run costs.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;And to Black Archmage,

Ever think about the fact that people use science and math and technology to make money so they can do the things they actually enjoy? Few people solely derive pleasure from the repetitive trial and error involved in science or the strict adherence to rules in mathematics.
&lt;/em&gt;

Yes, I have thought of that.  That&#039;s why I long for the days when the human race destroys itself.  It will happen.  We as a special are too greedy and self centered.  Maybe we wouldn&#039;t have awful acts like rape if we weren&#039;t.  But no, we insist on raping each other and committing other heinous acts not only against our own but other species (such as dogs) as well.  Perhaps after we have destroyed ourselves, math will calculate a better evolutionary species.</description>

		<description>Umm... why don&#039;t you start requiring people to actually use information that can be traced back to real people so we don&#039;t have 12 year old boys spouting things their drunk daddy says at home.

It&#039;s not alright to have people shouting their disgusting beliefs in a way that other people think they&#039;re normal and acceptable.

Both crimes are horrible and every person should know that.   If you want to make a stupid comment saying that dogs are more valuable than women, why don&#039;t you use your real name and include your address to.  Or would you rather just insult people and make them feel horrible while you hide behind a moniker.  Everyone can be hurt, don&#039;t think you&#039;re a better person because you attack someone and they cannot retaliate because all they know about you is your an idiot who goes by a name like &#039;pitman&#039;.</description>

		<description>After reading some of these posts, I&#039;d say save the dog.  It will help to reduce our own species.

Sports is about as useful as the arts.  Both are a waste of time an energy.  Math and science are all we need to progress and evolve as a species.  I&#039;m not opposed to keeping fit and not opposed to the use of proper language to better communicate with each other.  But football, baseball, painting, theater, and the likes are pointless gestures to make money and create dissension.  Sometimes I miss the days when we stood under the threat of nuking ourselves.  Too bad we didn&#039;t.

Math &amp; Science baby, that&#039;s all we need.</description>

		<description>look, while Kobe is obviously a DICK, for doing that without permission, I don&#039;t think it constitutes a CRIME.
I constitutes a Mercedes because he can sure as hell afford it, but I don&#039;t know about a CRIME.
&quot;Hey, let&#039;s have sex.&quot;
&quot;Sure. I like sluts!&quot;
&quot;Hey, I&#039;d prefer it in front.&quot;

&quot;ouch.&quot;
&quot;Oh, sorry. That&#039;s what I like to do.&quot;
&quot;you&#039;re going to jail!&quot;
&quot;What??&quot;

Just ask the man for an apology and MONEY because that&#039;s a goddamned RUDE thing to do, even if it&#039;s cheap groupie sex.
Ask first, fellas.

The dogfighting thing I&#039;d place on an equal level....maybe.

		<description>Both Nancy DisGrace and Larry Smith were out of line.

Dogfighting and killing dogs are just as worst as rape.  Smith should have never compared one travesty with another and he should have never appeared on Nancy DisGrace.</description>

		<description>1) Why was Kobe compared to Vick?  Because they&#039;re both black?  The argument right there falls on it&#039;s face.  

2)  How is rape related to abuse of dogs or vice versa?  They&#039;re not.   They&#039;re both bad and they&#039;re difference abuses.  

3)  When is the media and our culture going to start taking rape seriously as a crime?  And all the related offenses against women such as domestic abuse, stalking, harrassment at work, etc.?  How did we go from 1970 to 2007 and then back to 1950 in terms of respect and rights for women?</description>

		<description>&quot;Magic Underwear&quot; Romney is a cartoon character. I wonder how long it will be  before some good cartoonist makes a super-hero of him.

One can imagine the super-powers one could have with super-underwear.

I can see it now, a super-Chickenhawk mormon missionary in diapers that saves the world.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Who would you execute first Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffery Dahmer or a seeing eyed dog that helps blind humans or the family dog that nearly every week saves his owners from unsuspecting fires in their homes? &lt;/i&gt;

Can&#039;t we execute them all at once in a gas chamber?</description>

Not their style. They aren&#039;t afraid to post things under their own titles.

Anyway, back to the topic:

Rape, versus animal cruelty: Rape is worse.

A dog fighter may be a savage, cruel bastard who should rot in hell, but at least he isn&#039;t harming our own species.</description>
