Google Ken Buck and "buyer's remorse" you'll find pretty much everything.

Dunno, but you know, she really wanted it because she was drunk! Us women and our slutty ways or something stupid like that.

You'll have to excuse me for not keeping up with what is going on in CO. I also don't get much time to watch television, anymore. I literally work 7 days a week. Maybe I should have said THAT instead of about where I live in regards to not hearing about it.

Or just said that you hadn't heard about it.

But in italics. And all caps. So I knew you meant it.

Idk - I don't live in Colorado. It made national news.

A lot of people get their news on GC (thanks to posters like DS who troll news sites all day for interestion stuff - seriously - I don't believe him when he says he has some sort of job other than that, I think John is paying him) but I wasn't about to start yet another thread about rape.

You could start a thread, though. It would be a good topic, if you were willing.

This particular topic is a little too politically and emotionally charged for a lot of posters on GC, and a little too little politically and emotionally charged for a lot of posters on GC.

It'd probably end up in closure.

True. I feel like I derailed the thread when talking about victim-blaming but, I do think we need to consider how cyber-bullying affects people and how we shouldn't just say, "Well, they can get off that site." I'm mainly thinking about THAT SITE (you all probably know what site I am referring to) where you can post a thread about what a skank so-and-so is. It's pretty upsetting and I would be horrified if someone made a thread about me on that site. I can't even imagine.

Oh, it is. In fact, it goes by a different name. If you want, I can pm you the site name. I just don't want to give it any recognition on this site.

There are a multitude of sites based on the same premise.

On the cyberbullying thing - I do think there's a bit of a difference between types of cyberbullying. For example, starting a thread like "SALLY IS A WHORE!" is different than starting a thread like "SALLY IS A WHORE, CALL HER AND TELL HER, HER NUMBER IS 555.0812, HER EMAIL IS sallyisa@whore.edu, HER HOME ADDRESS IS 515 Hooker Ave" etc.
