The debate was about rape and I think my post was cogent, clear-sighted and consistent with the topic of discussion.
Originally posted by @dj2beckerThe discussion was about a commission investigating the cover up of child sex abuse. No one was being forced to testify.
Do you believe someone who has reported a rapist but would like to remain anonymous should be forced to testify?
Originally posted by @dj2beckerWell robbie carrobie did have an issue with it. He believed there is less sexual abuse of children if it is kept secret.
I have no issue with a commission investigating the cover up of child sex abuse as long as the victims give the green light.
Originally posted by @dj2beckerI don't know exactly how they could be "forced" to testify, but it would morally unsound of them not to do so if the testimony would save other children from being raped.

Not quite as amusing as the time you claimed to be FMFs lapdog. Oh yes and the Bronwyn character was also right up there.
Originally posted by @fmfDo you believe it is morally unsound for a victim to be in shock and ashamed and for them not to file charges because they're afraid of retribution from their attacker and also afraid of being called a liar?

Originally posted by @dj2beckerNo, I don't believe it is morally unsound for a victim to be in shock and ashamed. What I think is morally unsound is not talking steps necessary to prevent other children from being raped.

Originally posted by @fmfIf your sibling was raped and wanted privacy on the matter would you go to the authorities without her consent?
