RAPE and Morals?

Wow what happened to ideals that had meaning? The last 14 years have really messed with people’s awareness; for sure they are changing the views of what is right and what is wrong.

 

Torture, as such and the use of it to interrogate someone, just a few years back if you mentioned such a thing as torture, images of horrific results, starvations, violence, in humane treatment which was clarified by the use of the Geneva Convention, which if I remember right we signed, stating we would not do what the world says is in humane to our prisoners.

 

Along came the terror war and the use of special contractors, special prisons and special treatment which includes interrogating with the use of torture. Something I am sure is still against our agreement to honor the Geneva Convention, which is why the bases/prisons are not on US soil nor ran by the US military.

 

One or two more hero movies where John McClain says I am going to beat ya to death in your own house if ya don’t tell me what I want to know, will I am sure help people understand violence.

 

I suddenly get the idea I am one of the very few that have gone to court to watch a rape trail, the victim is assaulted over and over, during the trail, questioned and even their own lives are put on trail, as if they were somehow asking for the assault they received. Then off to the victim rights groups were the topic is the assault again and again, then maybe when things have moved on a bit in life, then maybe just maybe, the idea of a date becomes a possibility only to be questioned constantly for ever on the value of who you are when it comes to a relationship.

 

Both of these are horrifically wrong, worsened only by the ideals that we somehow make them ok.

 

Murder is over for the victim in a short amount of time when you compare either Torture or Rape, however even torture can be stopped, with rape it never really seems to stop, the stress over rape seems to be reflected in our communities, a moral right of men to be the aggressor, whose likes and dislikes are presented to everyone until we are numb to it. Its like its not okay for a woman to be sexually active or aggressive, to preserve a males right to be selective. Yet we forget that very stance sets the stage for the assault.

 

From our laws to how we handle the people who do such a thing all is out of whack, I can not think of a single thing that shows how much out of whack we are other than the view we have on RAPE, one or two years maybe fifteen for something news worthy, yet a child molester with multiple victims is given freedom when they know they will do it again no matter how old they are when they leave the prison system. Register? Really so we know what neighborhood they will attack from.

 

We don’t even listen to the people that commit crimes, a rapist is the lowest and is treated the worse while in prison, only a child molester is treated worse by the inmates, yet they get their freedom first. Go figure….
