Gay Encounter Posted on the 'Net, Rutgers Student Jumps off the GWB

Even if he was "out", taping anyone's sexual activity (gay, straight, solo) and broadcasting it live over the internet without their permission is disgusting. This is just another example of cyber bullying and someone taking their life because of it. When you pick on others, you never know how the person being bullied will handle it. Some people ignore it, some people get revenge, but some do take their life.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Nobody truly knows another person's limits.

And I think Amicus has the right idea about punishing these losers. It's just a shame that there's no way to punish everyone who watched this travesty for more than a few seconds.

Seriously? Rape is now an acceptable punishment? It's not a slipperly slope but a direct downhill drive from that to "she deserved it."

You're right, and I was out of line.

I did see statistics recently, and I'm not going to pretend that I remember the numbers, but of young people going to the prison, an overwhelming account will be raped within the first two days. This held true for men and women. So, sentencing someone to "just" several months or a year isn't doing anyone any favors.

I still cannot state strongly enough that this roommate was supposedly a friend to Clementi, and ended up betraying him to the point of suicide. I cannot think of any type of work where that type of behavior would make him a stand-out candidate for any job.

I'd be interested in seeing those statistics.

Numbers vary pretty wildly from what I'm finding online. You have a major reporting problem involved as well as a difficulty with people accepting a definition of rape that includes coercion as well as force.

Sounds familiar, no?

a google of rape in prison brings up sites with numbers that vary from 20% to 1-2%.

Also, I'm sure the rest of us will be more than thankful of you for jumping on the Google grenade that is "prison rape"

I saw the stats in some newspaper, within the past month, and I'm going to try to find them. The article was about younger people new to the penal system, and how parents who think that 6 months in prison will do their kid good are so out of line. In the meantime, this book and this one seem to have the same sort of information.

I searched "contractions" and got porn WITH the safe search on. I just wanted to look up some grammar rules.
