Thats a pretty general statement ISUkappa.
But honestly, I don't want to debate this issue too much because I know its more of an emotional/politcal issue to most people than a logical one. Something that gets in the way of good dialogue.
I just included this because it seems that some of our members had a common but erroneous belief that the amount of "true" claims of rape out weighed the "false" by a magnitude of hundreds to one. Something I also used to believe.
The numbers don't bare that out. As many as one quarter to one half of rape claims are false . . and thats being on the conservative side.
