And offer up unsolicited passive aggressive advice like 'Don't have kids'?

I note how the analogy was in reality not commensurable. What do you do? You say you've been drinking for years and that none of your friends are rapists.

And not just me. Literally millions of people of all ages go out drinking and never rape each other.

The conclusion? Well there isn't a valid one of course. What do you do? Imply me and my friends are rapists.

That might be the conclusion if you were following along, which apparently you haven't. The conclusion is that it's possible to drink and not rape. Because if you DID drink and rape, well, you'd be breaking the law regardless of how many shandies the victim had had.

And it sounds to me like you've been raised in an environment where there are mitigating factors to take into account when an unconscious kid gets raped. So, absolutely, it sounds to me like there's a better than average chance you and your friends get rapey of a drinking session, what with all the mitigating factors you seem to want taken into consideration. Don't take that as sly implication, take that as extrapolation.

I'm not sure what is worse: how cliche of a response that was, or that you couldn't predict it.

I'm sure you'll come up with an incorrect resolution to that particular rhetorical question. And then you'll tell me about it.

And actually, your analogy did claim precisely what I stated. You even went about it in a very traditional and predictable way. You opened with a thesis in the form of an analogy. You can make jokes about how I shouldn't become what I am, a teacher, but it's pretty clear you need to get back in a classroom. You literally just crafted a position paper where your opening thesis was in the form of an analogy which you later drew conclusions. Then, you denied that happened. You might want to spend a little more time in a classroom setting with an educator, it might help.

No, it didn't. There was no timeline set as to when I started drinking with my buddies, nor how long I had known and been socializing with my buddies. What happened is that you assumed I was talking exclusively about adulthood, OR you chose to apply the notion that I was talking exclusively about adulthood, and then you ran with that erroneous assumption.

That's fine, there are good teachers and bad teachers. I guess it depends on the district and what's available to the board.

Of course you go on to brush aside what I've actually said in many posts now and come up with some truly idiotic summation of 'hey, kids, eh?'.

And yet you've repeatedly pointed to age as a determining factor in the mitigation of the case.

I agree, that's pretty stupid.

The ending I do have to admit was surprising. You did catch me off guard there. You posted a clear analogy involving you and your friends going out drinking. Then, in this post, you say I made that analogy. I readily admit I didn't see that coming. Of course the main reason why is because it's so obviously not the case. But hey, you surprised on that one, so, ah, good for you.

Ah, I see the confusion. I only said the analogy was yours because the analogy was yours.
Yeah, if there's something that's perfectly clear about me posting on this board it's that I don't make sense. This is why so many think so...

Awww, do your friends all think you're a special, special soldier, pumpkin?

That's awesome for you. Do you have a certificate hand signed by all the posters?

I'm terrifically impressed.
