Bald Eagle,

Ever since you called me a bigot and a hypocrite last week I've been able to successfully ignore your posts, but the following prompts a reply:

It is also true that many more men are raped in this country than women are. Of course, they are mainly prisoners,
so I guess it is not considered important enough to be a public outrage.


I cannot figure out if you actually believe statements like the one you made here or are deliberately trying to provoke. You hang out here, asking simplistic questions, then calling those who respond to you names like "condescending". You do not engage in any of the personal discussion here, instead asking others to do your work for you. Why don't you go to google and see if Dr. Laura responded to the letter that E posted?

Do you have any evidence to back up your inflammatory statement that more men are raped than women in this country?

Frankly, I doubt it. And I challenge you to get off your feathered ass and provide some before I put you on ignore.

This has always bothered me. It didn't seem that part of your prison sentence should be rape. That it is tolerated by the guards and prison establishment and even excused as part of the punishment by some people is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. I'd rather be in solitary.

And many of those people are in jail for non-violent drug crimes like possession and shouldn't be there in the first place.
