Free speech is an illusion. If your opinion does not match the PC majority you can be fired/ostracized/jailed for it. What a joke.
South Africa’s biggest forum. Discuss, discover, and connect with thousands of members.
I don't think she's wrong or has anything to apologise for. Look at the stats for baby rapes and you will see a pattern. But highlighting that would be racist.
Way to much PC BS going around. Call a spade a spade.
Unfortunately a spade is only a spade when white people are under the spotlight. Blacks & their culture, nah, even if they regularly use it to justify their 'otherwiseness'.
I'm certainly liberal on some issues. Maybe not all. I'm definitely not conservative. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?You Sir! are a liberal..... I hope you feel the same passion if God Forbid a murder should ever happen to one of yer kin!
Actually, an unbiased examination of comments on MyBB will show that it's the centre aligned people who get shouted down the quickest. Extremists on both sides have the loudest, most vociferous voices.
And, God/Allah/Jehovah/Yahweh/Krishna/Buddha/ancestors forbid that anyone point out anything that can be construed as attacking white privilege or acknowledge current good being done by government.
It's rare that a debate does not rapidly deteriorate into the two extremes - people in the middle who are able to hold a balanced view are quickly relegated to the ignore zone.
Some of us live in the real world where things are not black and white, where we have white, black, Indian, colored, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, atheist, foreign, old, young and middle aged friends, family and colleagues.
Retreat to your simple stereotypes, it's a free country after all, but don't expect people to take you seriously.
Which culture says you must rape babies to cure AIDs? Again, don't say black culture, give me an ethnicity and a name
Show me another one that says it? My bet is there isnt one
Kleijn spent three years interviewing 10 men in maximum-security prisons around South Africa, all of whom were serving long sentences for raping children younger than three.
She wanted to “understand the why”. She emphasised that understanding the behaviour was not excusing it. But, if you can understand “the why”, then maybe you can start to find a solution. “If you show empathy for a rapist, it is not the same as showing empathy for their act,” she said.
She found that the men were all “severely damaged human beings”, and it’s for this reason that they did what they did. They feel no empathy or remorse because they don’t know how.
“When I interviewed these men, when we did the final debriefing, they thanked me because they said it was the first time in their lives that someone actually listened to them without judgment, with empathy and with respect, and that says everything about what went so wrong – that no one listened,” Kleijn said.
It is also important to realise that rape is not about sex.
The victim just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Kleijn said rape was about power, and that all the men she interviewed had experienced high levels of anger before committing the rapes.
No rape is not about sex and in this instance it is clearly about making AIDS or HIV disappear
