Of course it's in poor taste. Being a Laker fan is in poor taste too.

And j_crazy is right. The only thing that divides a room better than a rape joke is an abortion joke.

Same thing with political correctness and stereotypes. If you make a joke about everyone, then you're treating everyone equal.

Oh well. The sun came up the next day in spite of the tragedy.
He and I are fairly amicable. I've helped him with his car and some electrical problems in his house and he has given me a hand moving things around. His wife is the only one who was offended for the obvious reason that women aren't capable of differentiating jokes and insults.

Or maybe she's been raped before and didn't find the same humor in it that you did.

I call that just being a dick. Even though you make no excuses about it, it's still being a dick.

I'm not reaching at all. I have no idea why she thinks your humor is in bad taste, but statistically speaking it's not a stretch at all.

Regardless, they say discretion is the better part of valor for a reason. People who follow that rule are generally considered by society to have more class than people who don't.

I've also noticed in my 40 or so years that low-class people aren't aware of the fact they are being looked down on by others. Kind of like how really dumb people don't quite get that they're dumb or that others think that of them.

ok.. provide these statistics that say on average girls are raped more than they're not. That's what you're implying.
A quick google search shows an estimate of anywhere from 15-18% of women suffered some sort of rape. Averages tend to say she's one of the 85% not 15%.

Of course, since I'm so dumb that I can't comprehend that I'm dumb, you can explain to me what's a higher percentage; 85 or 15?

Ok, so I'm a dick. I'm 24 and have lived my life that way. It has yet to get me in trouble because everyone that knows me knows that I make light of every situation because there are very few things in life to make you unhappy.

I'm a dick and proud of it

We'd need to know her age. If she is of college age then the likelihood of her being raped goes up by 4X.

You'd also need to know her views on rape, whether a close friend or family member has been raped before, etc.

Regardless, I didn't imply anything. I said maybe she's been raped before and maybe she has. Why don't you just go over and ask her?

So you're trying to tell us that 60-72% of college girls are raped? That's ridiculous. And if she's older than that then she was in college at some point anyway. An older woman is obviously more likely to have been raped at some point in her life than a college-aged girl.

And if you're wondering.. yes I do equate being raped and owning a Chevy.

At that point I didn't know the dogs name and asked them what they named it and they told me Kobe (hes a laker homo.. i mean homer). I asked if it was raping a white girl dog when they bought it or something and it seemed to really offend the guys wife.

Oh well.. I thought it was funny. She needs to lighten up.

BTW, thats a dumb name for a dog.

So if today you lined up 100 woman aged 80 and 100 women aged 25 there would be 15-18 in both groups who have been raped?

Even though 80% of rape victims are under 30 yrs old?
