Cee Lo Green: ‘People Who Have Really Been Raped Remember’

New York Post ^

[nickcarraway]

Cee Lo Green, who on Friday pleaded no contest to one felony count of furnishing ecstasy to a woman before returning to her hotel room, doesn’t seem to know what constitutes rape.

[ I’ll get flamed for this, but any woman who voluntarily takes drugs or drinks herself into a stupor is voluntarily giving up control of the situation. Stupidity has consequences. ]

I understand that argument, you don’t ever blame the victim, however exposing yourself to risk is a risky thing to do...

In Islam they blame the victim IN ORDER TO excuse the wrongdoer. In a sane society we punish the criminal reguardless of if the victim was exposing themselves to risk or not. The victim that exposed themselves to risk become cautionary tales to others so they do not become victims later themselves...

So no, if you argument was that because she was “asking for it” we should let the scum off scott free, then I would flame you... But you don’t seem to be arguing for that.

The consequence of stupidity should not be an excuse for wrongdoers to continue their wrongdoing...

Too often liberal academia and media conflate “acknowledging the risks” with the idiot argument of “blaming the victim” when it is not.

So I will not flame you for acknoledging the risks.

But is it “legitimate rape?”

I feel the same way about women who jog around with music blaring in their ear buds. You can't be aware of what's going on around you and by the time someone grabs you, it's too late to avoid it. Until that one really bad thing happens, young women seem to think it won't happen to them.

An overdose of Ecstasy may result in cognitive and memory impairment potentially to the point of retrograde (forgetting what happened before the event) or anterograde (inability to learn new memories after to the event) amnesia.

However, it is unlikely to have these effects from a normal dose of Ecstasy.

Surprisingly, users of Ecstasy strongly recommend that people do not have sex while under its influence, as it somewhat desensitizes the muscles in the back, which can lead to severe back pain later.

You’re correct that stupidity has consequences. It does not and should not exonerate a criminal.

drinks herself into a stupor
My college roommate had a rule that she insisted all her friends follow. No one drinks alone. There has to be one (somewhat) sober girlfriend who is in charge of the safety of friends who are drinking. "Everyone comes home together no matter what."

One night it was my turn to be the DD, and she got pretty wasted. I had to pull her off of a guy who thought for sure he was going to get laid that night. He and I almost got into a fist fight around closing time. I told him, "You don't understand. I promised I'd follow her drinking rules."

Well then I say they ought to incarcerate the uninformed black man so that he might get to know what “real” rape is . . . don’t drop the soap!!!

Cee Lo?

He's the cousin of Hi-C.

I he related to Cee Lo Phane

I had a hip replacement and don’t remember a thing about it.Perhaps it’s the *drugs* that cause you to forget.

I am with you on that, I had knee surgery and remember being wheeled to the OR and then waking up in the recovery room. Them was some gooood drugs.

But is it criminal for a drunken man to have sex with a drunken women? Many universities seem to think so and exonerate the woman of all culpability.

I wonder if he’s speaking from personal experience?

He's a creepy looking guy. Here's his and Madonna's Superbowl halftime show. The creepiness begins around 09:35. And Madonna feels at home dropping down into hell at the end of the segment. Unsettling.

My argument is not that “she was asking for it” but rather that she was stupid to put herself in a situation where she COULD be raped. If she has no memory of the event, then it is probably best for her.

[GeronL]

What is best for her is not to be raped
