Mister Jimmy Rapelegs says "I think rape isn't wrong". That's a value judgement.
Is it an accurate value judgement?  I don;t think so.  I don;t think that it being an innaccurate value judgment has anything to do with my personal opinions, either.

Quote:You and I say "Rape is wrong". That's another value judgement.
Okay, and?  

Quote:Scientist dude says, "Rape has been shown to have the following effects on a person..." That's a scientific statement.
right........

Quote:Jimmy Rapelegs says, "I don't care about those effects. Rape is fun." That's a value judgement.
Whether or not Jimmy gives a shit doesn;t make his value judgements accurate, mine inaccurate, or the value judgement that rape is wrong subjective.  Is the scientist off in the corner somewhere muttering "fucking primates"?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
