Hey, don't be offensive and you won't get called on it. Pretty simple.
Do those rules apply to you as well?
[/QUOTE]As to your point, my guess is the 23% of college age women in the US who report sexual abuse while in college would disagree with you:
Study: 23% of women sexually assaulted in college - CNN.com
You can make excuses and question the methodology all you want but those numbers or ones like them are seen in a lot of studies. [/QUOTE]
The study referenced includes "alcohol/drug facilitated completed penetration". So it would appear that if anyone here has had sex where your partner had consumed alcohol you would be considered a rapist in the study.
In perhaps the only conceivable parallel to the situation in Cologne, the online surveyors employed such a broad definition that "'forced kissing" and even "attempted forced kissing" qualified as sexual assault.
In fact, campus sexual assault has actually declined from 9.2 per 1,000 college students in 1997 to 4.4 per 1,000 in 2013. Far from being a site of violence, the study found that female college students are safer from sexual assault while in college than at any other time in their lives.
If Jeff were to actually read the studies he cites, he'd see that statistically the majority of campus sexual assaults that do occur are as the result of the efforts of individuals committing multiple acts not the roving packs of testosterone fueled fraternities he blames. While the trends on sexual abuse on campus are thankfully headed downward, those in large European migrant communities are not. Attempts to provide a moral equivalency to the situation in Cologne and elsewhere are simply nonsense.
[/QUOTE]No matter what the fraternities/packs of young men on campuses SAY about tolerance of that type of behavior, their actual ACTIONS are no different than what you saw in Cologne.[/QUOTE]
Perhaps I’m mistaken. I'm involved with a major university and I'd like to know the fraternities that support sexual abuse and a reference to the packs of roaming sexual predators on campus. I've been invited to a meeting with the dean of one of the business schools next month and I'd like your information as I'll raise the issue.
If anyone would like a somewhat balanced view of the situation on American campus life, you can read it here.

Is Jeff now a moderator? When he posted:

It appears that his offensive comments are tolerated when others that are less profane are not. It causes me to seriously regret extending my paid forum membership.
