When you have a society that glorifies harsh competition, harsh punishments, invading other countries, picking on those who are not the same of others, and are generally dismissive of people who have issues with this..I can guarentee that you will get some "columbine" kids from the mix.
THAT was avoidable.
Jeffrey Dahmer now, I admit that i may be pushing it, but I also feel that those types of crimes would vanish with social change as well.
Rape is all about asserting authority over others. A chance to feel superior. In a society where authority is scoffed, and people are not held down or made to feel inferior...what are the chances of rape being prevalent in such a society? A society where men and women are equal, not just on paper, but in the mind where it belongs? Where people are taught to respect other people, not because some authority figure told them to do so, not because of some horrible punishment, but because we SHOULD respect the boundaries of peoples lives. Sure, it could still happen, but I argue that it would be lessened.
WTF? Oh, Epimethian, when will you stop holding your buttons out to be so easily pushed? I find such things humorus. I merely said that in passing of your reference to somolia. You, on the other hand, came right back by creating a new "honk if you love serial killers" bumper sticker for me...which I found even more funny. If you dont balance that chip on your shoulder any better, then a mere whisper of "no nukes" may cause it to come tumbling down and crash on your pinky toe and ruin your day..LOL. Besides, I was hoping that yu would come up with something better than "lay off". You ruined a perfectly good chance to introduce me to some new insults.
Oh yeah...and saying that wasnt authoritarian.
Authoritarian is exercising complete or almost complete control over the will of another or of others.
