samsungxoxo Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I was just reading about this young woman who was anally raped by her so called boyfriend. After several posts, I just didn't felt pity for her. Why? She posted about the boyfriend being in jail for 8 years and that he'd done violent things in the past (the typical girl hoping he'll change). That's when I just stopped reading the thread and didn't felt too much pity for her. She knew who she was dealing with already. Same just for Andrea Yates' ex husband. That's the woman on the news that actually killed all her 5 children. However, the man was warned in advance by the doctor not to have any more children and that she still was on medication but he didn't listen. I didn't feel much pity for him either. He left the kids alone with a sick woman.. he knew who he was dealing with and did nothing.
Green Posted June 30, 2010 Posted June 30, 2010 I was just reading about this young woman who was anally raped by her so called boyfriend. After several posts, I just didn't felt pity for her. Is this a LS thread? Sounds interesting but I doubt she was looking for anyones PITY as you put it. Why? She posted about the boyfriend being in jail for 8 years and that he'd done violent things in the past (the typical girl hoping he'll change). That's when I just stopped reading the thread and didn't felt too much pity for her. She made a mistake, does that mean she deserves to be raped? The answer is NO. Same just for Andrea Yates' ex husband. That's the woman on the news that actually killed all her 5 children. However, the man was warned in advance by the doctor not to have any more children and that she still was on medication but he didn't listen. I didn't feel much pity for him either. He left the kids alone with a sick woman.. he knew who he was dealing with and did nothing. Look maybe you CAN see it all comming but in the world I live in I don't write people off. People do stupid things and put themselves in bad situations IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY DESERVE IT. Instead of thinking about PITTY you may want to try to have UNDERSTANDING for people and RESPECT for them.
Author samsungxoxo Posted June 30, 2010 Author Posted June 30, 2010 Green if I was dating a man and knew he had a violent past or see him getting in fights... I would run so fast without saying a word. I would be like ''Ok bye''. I never said they deserved it but obvious warning signs were there in which were ignored.

What you are trying to say is because you are smarter then her she doesn't deserve any understanding... that instead she deserves "Should have known." I think that is a nasty way to be toward some one. Most of the problems in the world can be easily fixed from my perspective. Doesn't really give me the right to go around acting superior to every one and everything as it shows no RESPECT. Its about being able to step outside of yourself and understand that SHE DIDN'T WANT THAT even if she made BAD CHOICES. Because she is not her BAD CHOICES.
Eve Posted July 3, 2010 Posted July 3, 2010 I hear what you are saying Samsung! There are scenarios that scream, 'run bitch run' and people stay in them. I have long since concluded that it is only necessary to create systems and services for people to escape/leave certain situations. This is because people are not always in control of their senses and will stay in destructive and damaging situations until they basically have had enough. At that decisive point, I think people should have access to support and as a society we should try and make it known that certain behaviours are crimes above all else. But personally I dont get involved in situations unless the person wants help. People can and do deliberately put themselves in harms way by simply not being observant. Take care, Eve xx
