Are you going to give me more fog or do you actually want to honestly debate me?
I don't want to debate you, because I agree with you
Yay me.
except on the small matter of _the courts_ getting worse.
I don't think that _the courts are getting worse_.
Okay, I'm not sure if that's some kind of nitpicking, but I'll give you the benefit of doubt there.
I think that the courts have been as bad at the things mentioned in that body of research for the last 40-60 years as they are today.
Fine. I'm just a bird.
Is there any other crime as emotionally charged as rape?
No, not really.
And in fact, the meta-emotional nature of it is astounding.
Yes, ordering pineapple on pizza.
The fact that it is emotionally charged leads people to tell people about how emotionally charged it is
Except for the fact that men falsely accused of rape are, to be blunt, rarely go to trial, let alone get convicted
and the emotionality becomes amplified by people hearing others be emotional about it.
Did you get that from a fortune cookie or a feminist infographic? @Ace K
...
Sorry for being so whiny.

It's in my nature.
calm the fuck down, both of you
this is no way to converse about anything.
If I calmed down any further, you might no longer detect a pulse.

I've been here for a long while dude. And how the heck is stating reality 'stiring the pot'?
@Ace K because you couch it in this snooty "it's called reality, faggot, you've just been SEEEERVED" attitude.
Just makes people want to punch you in the face, so to speak.
