I go away for a while and this is what I come back to?

Emotions are worthless. Leave them behind. The only time they come in handy is when fear gives you the urge to survive, and the andrenaline to enhance your capabilities.

And yes, a shitty life is infinitely preferable to oblivion. In oblivion, you don't get to eperience the joy of a new day, the crispness of the air, the songs of birds, the cuteness of cats, and the simple joys of existing.
:v DOES NOT COMPUTE!
You can't have it both ways. You can't claim to both value emotions and not value them at the same time. If you say emotions are worthless then you've pretty much invalidated every point you could possibly make, as all arguments against abortion (and all laws in fact) are rooted in emotion. It doesn't work. Why would the emotions of one person be more better than those of another if neither of them have any value?
You can't ignore the effects of physical and/or emotional abuse. They are invariably debilitating and invariably difficult and many times imposible to manage. No matter how much stoic Vulcan bullshit you vomit into this thread you can't make that untrue. (I will link studies when it isn't nearly 3am.)
and are we actually debating "she was asking for it?" seriously...?
Alright I'll address it.... I guess... ugh...
Obviously there are situations a victim could put his/her/eirself in which rape is more likely to happen than others. This is a truth. It may be very difficult to determine what those situations are, but it is true. A victim might make some stupid decisions that could lead to a greater likelyhood of being raped. So rapists prefer idiots (of course the likelyhood of being raped in a western country is so miniscule that I would debate even this point in most cases). Obviously this means idiots are at fault for being idiots rather than the rapists fault FOR FUCKING RAPING A PERSON. I'm sorry but I just cannot fathom that having sex with a person without their permission (implied or otherwise) could ever be anyone's fault but the rapists.
