I bet you meant rape on freedom. And here I would agree: there is a very fine line between law that protects and law that "rapes" . I think it can be a subject for the great lecture or a work, or even more - for the whole philosophy. I don't think, that since invention of democracy by the Greeks, anyone has made an effort to think (maybe I am mistaken) if the "good" of mass can be totally dependant on the bunch of greedy, close minded lobbies of own "good" only, that wright the law for that mass, taking us for nothing more then "a mass" and not seeing the individuals. I know that nobody invented nothing better then democracy, and I am myself will stand up for it at any time. But... as you say.... there is a fine line...

I don't understand your question but rape is against the law no matter what. But sometimes a rapist gets away without a sentence and I think that is outrageous. That happened in Ireland recently when a judge gave him a suspended sentence coz he came from a good background and was never in trouble before, even though he pleaded guilty.

Rape surely has to be one of the hardest crimes to prosecute as it rests on the their being a lack of consent to the sexual act. There are rarely witnesses to the event and if their are it is often many men and only one woman so it is not only one persons word against anothers but one against many. It also involves sympathetic treatment of the victim and intrusive physical examination for evidence. Even when all the physical evidence points to rape it only needs the man to say the woman agreed to sex for the whole of the woman's previous sexual history to be aired in Court, the whole proceedings aimed at painting the woman as one of 'easy virtue'
There is very little to be done to change the law. which already makes it clear that unconsentual sex is illegal, it s a matter of proving it.....

How so ?
I think rape is pretty clearly defined.
I'm assuming you're question is alluding to the difficulty there can sometimes be in proving rape in court.

These are completly different topics, the contrast each other in every literal sense, now if you are meaning to sya that the leagl system 'rapes' us o pure justice in that sense i would agree but your question is obligatary to that fact.

I for one, think that many of the laws we have rape us as a society...

Sorry, I cannot honestly understand your question, but if you are asking if a person deserves to be raped - ABSOLUTELY NOT, what ever the reasons given.

law and rape are totally different things. maybe you should think through your questions before trying to be clever/funny.

i think there is a VERY wide margin between what is lawful and what is rape.
