I give up. Sympathy for a rapist just because he is a Nepali. You guys are trying dream up all sort of excuses because he is from the same country as you? Eastsidaz, You seem to think that what he does was not serious enough, and simply throwing out of the country is a punishment enough. But I guess me and many other people disagree. What's stopping him from doing the same thing - say back in Nepal? You'd like to have him deported to where? Also your pathetic arguments trying to justify his actions don't make any sense? How can she resist ? She was intoxicated. We are going in circles. You seem to imply (read your arguments carefully), that he didn't rape her, because she was drunk. You seem to argue here that drunk girls are fair game. Well many people will disagree with you. Having sex with a girl - drunk or sober- without her consent is wrong. And that is rape. I was not getting emotional, I was just getting a sarcastic. Pray tell me why the girl should share the blame? AbsolutelyObsolete, so you think getting drunk is a strictly male pregorative? Girls can't get drunk at all? So anytime you get drunk, next day when you wake up, you start thinking of joining AA or rehab? Don't you think that's a bit of a double standard? BTW girls do rape drunk men as well (It happens more frequently than you can imagine). In vast majority of these cases, men don't report it as what happened inflates their ego :-). Check out that recent case in Norway where a girl was convicted of raping a drunk man. Things are changing. cheers
