ive certainly felt like this all day. I think it clearly shows up the big problem with our legal profession. We have a legal elite drawn from an exclusive social group, most of them are interbred over many generations, they can not now be expected to operate at a huigher level. Sadly however, they are allowed to continue in spite of congenital insanity

Oh yes, I couldn't agree more. I think the term "beak" is quite appropriate, perhaps they should precede that by "brainless".
Have you ever tried going to court without your lawyer? I have (with my divorce) and they didn't like it because I wasn't paying into the system. It was so obvious. I mean I thought I was speaking plain English, but apparently I wasn't making any sense! I felt as if I was in an episode of Monty Python!

That is horrible, who would say such a thing. You know when I was 22 I was raped by a very handsome man that was friend's with my boyfriend, I was devastrated and when I contacted my divorce attorney, since I was going through a very complicated and long divorce at the time I was told not to press charges since it would make me look bad since a rape case is your word against his. I have regretted ever since taking that man to court, knowing that he probably raped many more after me.

he almost certainly did, what we know about rapists is that they dont stop until they are caught

it is certainly ignorent, what i feel most angered by is that it was a member of the legal profession that said it, not a male in a pub

What you have written is really amazing.I mean i could not understand fully.The trial actually said that.Rape is a crime which is difficult to prove & it is reality that is has such a low rate of conviction.It takes all sorts of humilation to prove that you have been raped.

that was wrong to say to that girl. Just because she is over weight dosnt make it right to sexually abuse her like that. I dont care who you are NO ONE has the right to rape another person for any reason.
The reason there is a low report rate is because people dont report it when it happins because they are afraid that they are going to be marked. I know I was raped and not proud of it.

I am speechless, shocked and outraged. How dare anyone ever say that about rape (of women)? And i suppose if a fat, ugly 16 year old BOY was annally raped he wouldn't be expected to have welcomed the attention would he? No, of course not, he'd get all the sympathy in the world. It seems that it's perfectly ok to rape women these days, that in fact we women are just asking to be raped or should be greatful if someone raped us. I'm truely disgusted by this attitude. What a malicious, nasty, horrible, insensitive thing to say. I hope that person gets excactly what they deserve for saying such a thing (and i hope it's a very nasty thing they get!).

Rape is a subject that has always saddened me, its something so senseless it should never happen, especially to a child.
You're right "no wonder few report rape" they are made to feel shameful, for something that wasn't even their fault, while sometimes the rapists are given props.
