Sorry to hijack, but the original thread is over . . . look, dude, you're sorta making a comeback on the greekchat, so i'm giving you an opportunity to rethink this statement.

-"At least two girls" is a weak statement. How many years to get these two? How does this compare to the number of campus rapes in total? How many go unreported, is this significantly higher than those that are falsely reported?

-"several college girls faking kidnapping" - uh, truth, but several college girls is an immeasurably small portion of the overall number. It's anecdotal evidence, rather than a trend. It's also a severe strawman, almost like saying "several college-aged women have faked being sick to get out of work"

-you also mentioned something about it being analogous or somehow comparable to men's rights or reactions, in a post that was deleted - ok, but if you'll allow, tell me how many men have falsely reported rapes, and we'll see how analogous it is.

OK- some points of thought for you, I think you'll find most impressive the comparison between falsely reported rapes and unreported rapes in college women. If you'd like, I'll do a fair and balanced reporting of the numbers for ya, but it's an interested read, I highly recommend it.

Uh, there are many cases when I think his posts are a little out there, but giving credit where it is due, he was correct this time.
