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, doesnt seem to know what constitutes rape.

[ Ill 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.
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!!!
He's the cousin of Hi-C.
I he related to Cee Lo Phane
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 one of Obama’s playmates.
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.
What is best for her is not to be raped
