Or bought a gun, or run the bastards over, or gone through the red light,
etc etc?  This is Australia, not Somalia.

RLA>>> I'd love to see some idiot being charged with incitment.

PE>> Charging the victim - just typical of you black-cock-suckers.  

RLA> Wot? Jealous eh Paul??? 

Disgusted at people who would blame the victim of a carjacking.

PE>> Women get raped in parks too, ... Why not charge them with 
PE>> incitement to rape too!

RLA> Under certain circumstances where they _could_ have prevented it... Yes. 

In ALL park rapes, the women _could_ have prevented it - by not going into
parks, and instead hiding under their bed all day, preferably with a group
of another 10 similarly minded women.  Not too many rapes happen in that
situation.  Probably gets a bit smelly though.

So now that women are responsible for all rapes, let's just charge the lot
of them with incitement.  You commies are bizaare.

RLA> Remember I believe in taking responsibility for one own's actions. I've 

This is absolutely correct.  If you rape someone, you take responsiblity.
If you GET raped, you are NOT responsible.  You seem to have lost the
distinction between the doer and the done-to.

RLA> had enough with people telling me I was "abused as a kid"
[I wasn't] or 

People walk up to you in the street and say "you were abused as a
kid", do they?  Porkies are piling up Rachel.

RLA> I've "been sexually harassed only I didn't know it" [I
wasn't]. If I put 

Some pretty bizaare people you meet in the street there Rachel.

RLA> myself in a potentially dangerous situation _I_ am responsible. I wouldn't 

Bullshit you are.  You can not be responsible for a bashing unless you are
the basher.

RLA> ain common but people _do_ have brains & should be encouraged
to use them 
RLA> rather than depend on streached resourses & blame the government, the 
RLA> "locals"... anyone else rather then themselves.

You can't blame yourself for being bashed, only the basher can be blamed.

PE>> It is not sufficient to live in your nice low-crime area and 
PE>> laugh at other's misfortunes.  

RLA> Fat lot you know about this area then.

When was the last time a member of the public got bashed to death?  BFN.  Paul.
