Rape in Oranjemund!

[barb (Fry)]

I read her book, heard her interviewed on radio and even had the pleasure of attending a talk she did, for she was on the circuit as a motivational speaker for a period of time, don't know about now..........she is truly amazing - but then you have picked out many examples of people who have been inspiring in their ability to learn from their atrocities to be real survivors instead of victims.

Rape is a crime of violence (and power) - and most often doesn't result in death, I do believe there may be an adjustment in the opinion of the courts leaning more in the favor of the woman, instead of just trying to proof that she brought it upon herself.
The difficulty lies in determining who the genuine cases are from the attention seekers and get even brigade

Difficult one, don't get me started on the new crime of date rape with the use of rohypnol.

ref pg 1. Carl Wrbka . Talking to old timers . Van Eden was caught redhanded stealing the victims "transistor radio " in the single cauters . Van Eden then stabbed him with a screwdriver , and according to the old toimers , hid the victim in the scrapyard south of the Jowells gerage . hours later he took the uncocious victim , then tied a large stone around his neck , and threw him in the river . the cause of death was drowning and not from the screwdiver stabwounds.

Thanks Cherry, this forum cannot be used as a platform to promote bigotry, sure you may air you opinion, but within reason, bearing in mind most of us have black friends and partners.... it is easy to blame "them" for everything, but we all know that you get bad genes in all population groups and if you happen to live in a society where a certain ethnic group  makes up  80% of the population, you will obviously see that their group will have the largest percentages of any issue, ie. crime, poverty, hiv etc.....

This topic is about rape of a minor in ORANJEMUND . If anyone wishes to continue to debate the political aspects, move it to the General discussion board under anything goes.....

Well put Michael. After all, a bigamist is a fog in Italy, and that would belong in the weather section. :emot19:

Sorry Mike, could not follow you here, i dont find that post from Cherry ???? Wanted to form my own opinion

Regardless of what it could have been, we must all bear in mind not to make any racist statements althought i am often temped to. I for example had copied a Joke from our board and posted that in USA. Got nasty mails as beeing a racist. I deleted that Joke althought to me it was funny.

Suggest to keep sticky stuff in PMs......

I agree with you Snr, the temptation is strong sometimes, especially when you live in the "new" SA. I suppose we'll have to just hope for a solution to be found soon which will suite everybody. I don't forsee it happenning in our generation though.
