Nuke any place which actually has laws such as those which would punish victims simply for being female. For being gay, for worshipping another religion.
Yep, a good way to resolve a situation where victims are being wrongfully oppressed is to kill those who oppress. Along with the victims. And everyone else. Yep.
Yep.

You don't know much about conservative Muslim law do you? A woman is Saudi Arabia was raped and beaten, the court sentenced her - not her attackers - to a lashing.

They sentenced her for being in public without a male escort though, not for being raped and beaten.
That makes so much more sense.

It isn't a great alternative but it isn't punishing a person for being raped. Its punishing a person for being in a situation that allowed rape to happen. A slight but important distinction.

It's still sucky judging though. They should've at least given her attackers a proper sentence.
gforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.
