maybe we should simply have required stores selling it to take down the driver’s license information of everyone buying it (like they do when you buy pseudoephedrine now). That way, we’d have a list of likely next generation sex offenders to look for next time someone’s victimized in their area. Of course, that’s not fair to those who would buy it out of curiosity and find it too icky to play.
I know it might be meant as a joke, but I should just say that this is a really, really horrible idea.  There has been a lot of time wasted and have been miscarriages of justice based on going after fantasists - this idea only makes sense if you're prepared to move into the realm of Thought Crimes.  The reason given why it's "not fair" isn't the right one.

Yes, well--I'll add again that I don't like that particular article, but it seemed like a good introduction to couch the game within.

Especially because there's no way I can link directly to the SA review on it.

When I saw this, my first thought was "Can we make this mandatory for all males at say, age 15?"  :o
:O

I'm just waiting for Simmura to read this. It's like Vector and the Gentleman topic a while back. It's just a dumbass thing to say.

What if I WANT kids at 18? (I don't ever want kids, but hypothetically speaking.) What if I've a girlfriend who also wants kids at 18? Suddenly, some stupid government regulation has ruined my plans. It's one thing to require a vaccination for Chicken Pox. That's a disease.
Pregnancy isn't.
THIS MAY HAVE BEEN POSTED. IF SO, IGNORE MY ASS

There is apparently a few injections that will reverse the process. So it doesn't matter.\


Edit: Ha, I didn't realize the length of this thread. Cool, blast from the past, yo.

Bumping with this bullshit.

tl;dr, Kansas politician thinks women should "prepare" for the possibility of rape in the same way that he prepares for the possibility of a flat tire.

Edit:  Thought it was Texas, it's Kansas.

I believe we had this somewhere already.
Rage thread, if I'm correct. However, I can't tell if it has been discussed adequately.

Well, duh. In todays society you really only have yourself to blame if you do not keep a spare dignity, heart, and body but most importantly a new psyche in your trunk. You know, 'cause you have to be prepared.

Well its all about having the tools on hand to deal with the crisis. Flat tire, tire iron. Rapist, pistol.

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

I wonder if he's prepared for his own rape and hope he gets raped. I really do.

Until men can get pregnant, it still wouldn't be full karmic retribution.

If I were a Kansas legislator, I'd offer an amendment that any woman who is raped and denied an abortion in the state of Kansas, will have their child support paid by Rep. DeGraaf. After all, he should be prepared for these sort of things.

Maybe if he gets STDs with STDs of their own, we'll get there.
