    Which is worse - Rape or Murder?

    It's hard to say what is worse. I am just saying that coming from a woman's standpoint, that if I was ever held at gun or knifepoint while a person was attempting to rape me, I would try anything to escape. I would have to assume that they were going to kill me anyway and I personally would rather be killed quickly than tortured and then killed anyway.

    Which is worse - Rape or Murder?

    Being a multiple rape survivor (it happened from ages 6-13), I go with rape.

    Which is worse - Rape or Murder?

    I don't think it's ever "right" to force another to have sex, in or out of marriage.



    At what age do you believe informed consent begins? Can an 8 year old that wants to have sex with an adult give informed consent? Your blanket statement in bold above is scary without qualifiers. :wow:

    What you described wouldn't be considered rape, IMO. It may qualify as third degree sexual assault or something along those lines, however. I don't view all "rapes" as equivalent. IMO, a husband that rapes his wife, for example, shouldn't receive the same treatment as a knife-wielding stranger in a dark alley.

    Which is worse - Rape or Murder?

    But we treat it like it is, thus turning it into a psychological train wreck for the victims.

    Back in the real world, on a scale of 1-10, 1 being a paper cut and 10 being a slow decapitation with a hot wire, rape rates about a 4 on the "bad things that can happen to you" scale...and may not even rate that high. Even today through huge portions of Africa and S America women are commonly raped. Instead of seeing it as a horrible, life altering event that they may never recover from, those women see it almost as an unpleasant inconvenience. Like a trip to the dentist.

    We should all be thankful that we live in societies where we have it so easy, and are so sheltered, that we can sit around pondering silly questions like "which is worse, rape or murder". Through most of human history we would have been laughed at...and then possibly raped....for even asking a question that ridiculous.

    Which is worse - Rape or Murder?

    If you asking me whether I would rather die then be raped, then yes, I would rather die. I would die fighting. If he stuck a gun in my face I would hope that my 3 years of martial arts training were enough to disarm him. Same goes with a knife.

    But, if you're asking me which crime is worse, it all depenRAB. If a girl kills her sexually and physically abusive boyfriend after she decides she cannot take anymore vicious beatings, then in my eyes she should be let free. That scumbag deserved to die.

    But if a guy breaks into a house and kills a family of four at 4 oclock in the morning in cold blood, then he should be sentanced to the maximum punishment of our legal system.


    If a guy kidnaps a girl and rapes her repeatedly, then he should go to jail for a very very long time. If an 18 year old has sex with his 15 year old girlfriend, then he should be set free with a clean record. No matter what the laws say, you can never rape the willing. So I guess it all depenRAB.

    Which is worse - Rape or Murder?

    Quite a few years ago a local girl agreed to a gang bang with four of my frienRAB( I was NOT involved but I knew the boys and the girl. She was not coerced into doing this, in fact she was very willing...they all were drunk)
    After the first one had finished the second one started but she wanted to stop...he however didnt and had to pulled off by the other boys.
    She cried rape and threatened to go to the police.
    This was technically rape and the boy would be liable to procecution today.
    I think there should have been a penalty for that particular offence...about 50 pence.
    There are different levels of rape and although all are detestable some are more detestable than others and the penalty should reflect that.
    To say that they all should be hung..by the balls or any other appendage is just a bit...stupid.

    I can guarantee to all the macho men on here that if a couple of guys( or if you think you are hard..lets make it three) could make you just as traumatised and humiliated with a beating as a rapist could to a woman ( or man) so lets get a little reality.
    Searching your imagination for ways to inflict pain and death on a rapist is fun maybe but unrealistic.
