Was Bristol Palin raped?

oh you're right, you're right

I shall just have to kill myself

You know, you're right, Dittany, I had never realised that about myself.

I do think that. I think that all men from 8-80 should be allowed, nay encouraged, to go out and about raping and impregnating any female of any age as whim takes them.

How could I have been so wrong?

Thank you for helping me see the error of my ways.

Pretty much every report I;ve read has the AP as source.

"NEW YORK (AP) -- Bristol Palin writes in her new book of losing her virginity to boyfriend Levi Johnston on a camping trip after getting drunk for the first time on too many wine coolers.

She awoke in her tent, alone, with no memories of what had happened as Johnston "talked with his friends on the other side of the canvas." She had vowed to wait until marriage. And she had lied to her parents about where she was going.

Palin, a 20-year-old single mother and the daughter of former Alaska Republican Gov. Sarah Palin, tells a story of "deception and disappointment" in the book, "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far."

The memoir, co-written with Nancy French, is scheduled for publication by William Morrow this week. The Associated Press purchased a copy Friday."

I'm going to have to give up - work to be done.

Ok, so Bristol Palin is a hapless child who was forced to get drunk and be impregnated by rapist Levi.

Happy?

hahahahahahaha

Yep, every Afghani is a stone age dweller. Right on.

And I know why the age of consent was introduced. But we are talking about now, and girls of 15 who consent because they enjoy their sexuality.

Yes, age of consent is very important to protect young girls. Men all know what the age of consent is and really they have no excuse for raping girls under it.

Hully - there's a man walking around today who I know is a rapist. He may never have been prosecuted, he may never have been found guilty in a court of law, but I know he's a rapist. Never being prosecuted doesn't change that.

And I suspect that one day, deep down inside, Bristol will equally know that Levi is a rapist. I don't think she'll ever come out and say that, given he's the father of her child, but I think one day she will know.

Hully, she says its what happened. Its not just a snippet of an interview on a dubious site, the Associated Press has a pre-release copy of the whole book and they are reporting it as such, with no denial from Palin

where?

You saying he's a rapist don't make it so.

Do you really not see how unfair to him it is?

Hully, she says its what happened. Its not just a snippet of an interview on a dubious site, the Associated Press has a pre-release copy of the whole book and they are reporting it as such, with no denial from Palin

So, if she says its what happened, either she's a liar or he (in UK law anyway) is a rapist. One or the other is true, and I'm from sad experience more inclined to believe that a teenage boy would take advantage of a young girl when drunk than to believe a teenage girl would lie about losing her virginity in such hideous circumstances.

And some are concerned to be cautious and just.

So prosecute him

On the basis of what she has said, she was raped and he is a rapist.

everyone

So why is it all right to say in advance of due process that she was raped and thus call him a rapist?

Nobody is suggesting that he be arrested and charged on the basis of the interview. Presumably Bristol doesn't want that anyway. But even if she did, or it was decided to go ahead in the public interest, every would expect proper evidence gathering and witness statements.

With respect Boss, you don't know any of that. Extrapolation is dangerous in all cases. One should refrain whether it concerns men or women.

So, based on the snippet of interview, would you be happy for Levi to be arrested and charged?

This isn't just about drunken party type sex though, is it? Its about a child, a child, who was so drunk she couldn't remember anything, who had previously said to her boyfriend that she didn't want to have sex before marriage, having her vagina penetrated with a penis whilst drunk, in all likelihood to drunk to give consent. Yes we don't know the full story, but I do know that if my DD had come home and said this had happened, I'd be calling the police. And if my DS came home and said he'd done the same thing, then god help me, I'd probably be calling the police too.

And some are concerned to be cautious and just.

I think the main problem with the thread is that there are different agendas going on.
