I apologise pal.
I was angry and I shouldn't have been insulting to you.
What I said could be deemed offensive and I want to say sorry!
Forgive my intolerance.
If not I would have helped her hunt them down and would have RAPED them myself and then killed them...even if I wouldnt enjoy it.

Apparently lying and stealing is worse than rape. huh?
Then why make out it by saying it or did your ordeal give you the right to act out and become irrational and kick out at anyone who points out that allegations of rape are being used to silence a whistle blower.
Get over yourself because some girls are raped "Violently" as you put it by their farther at a young age and it does not turn them all into men haters who won't listen to reason.
Tell me would you prefer to swap your ordeal for that of Julian if you are honest because I am not sure you would.

Perhaps I misunderstood your post because I always believed that the allegations against Julian were false to silence him.

By definition, rapists must rape. If they weren't raping, they wouldn't be rapists.
If you rape once, you are a rapist. One can try to not do it again.
By that definition, if you lie once, you are a liar, and if you steal once you are a thief. I guess I just don't label people like that.
moving on.
Rape is a just a tad more brutal than lying and stealing? NO?
You can play semantics all you want but, this isn't what the thread is about.
If you rape a woman, you take a part of her soul. If you lie to her, you take a part of her trust. If you steal from her, again, you lose her trust.
Soul/trust.
What's more valuable to a person? I'd rather lose my trust any day as opposed to a part of who I am....my soul

Yes and that was just what I was saying if you go back and look.
This coin has two sides and the other side is men being charged with rape when they didn't do it which to me is just as bad, dare I even say worse because the consequences can last years.
False allegations of rape should also include a mandatory time in jail and then genuine cases might get the justice they deserve but by that I mean don't go out with someone for a few months, go to a party, get drunk, jump into bed and then talk about rape.
what's missing in these cases is something similar to man slaughter where the guy has got into gear and the girls say no having played along which might mean more men admit the assault and the system works better.

Can you prove that rape causes a person to lose part of their soul? Can you prove there is a soul? When people state what appear to be opinions as facts, I like to see some empirical data ;-)
That being said, I do agree, rape is vile, it's generally a brutal one-on-one attack. But let's step it up, let's say your business partners cheat you in a business deal and you lose millions, how does that effect you, your family, your extended family, etc.? What are the psychological ramifications of that kind of rape (rape is the theft of your body temporarily)? How about politicians, changing laws and generally ef'ing up society, sending jobs overseas and destroying the economy, how many lives does that destroy, how many suicides, how many broken families? Now an order of magnitude greater, bankers destroying whole countries over greed and imaginary fiat currency, how many people does that effect? How many people commit suicide, lose hope, have their families torn apart and irreparably destroyed by cheating business partners, scumbag politicians and corrupt bankers?
I see opinions on here for punishments for rape that really are disproportionate to the actual one-on-one crime, especially since none of these ef'ing bankers, politicians or cheating business partners every seem to go to jail. And if they do, what is it, house arrest, a couple of years, a bit of probation for destroying tens to hundreds of thousand lives? I agree with the more "radical" approach above in another post, a 25 cent bullet saves roughly 3 to 6 million dollars over a 20 year period.
Now what do we do about the politicians and bankers ;-)
