Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Russell Brown,
police have dropped all charges against Darren Hughes, for lack of evidence.
it's nice that charges have been dropped. what's the consensus on members of parliament picking up teenagers?
as a starter for six i'd like to return to the conversation what said, 'dazza, WTF are you thinking?'

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Bart Janssen,
Because part of the mechanism for coping is to distance yourself somehow. It may play merry havoc with you later in life but it’s a way of managing at the time.
yup. maybe 10 years ago a mate told me he was surprised i’d never told him my mum was in the slammer when i was a kid.
i’d never mentioned it because i hadn’t remembered until he told me.

Where are the anti bullying adds that show someone standing by watching while their mates rape someone?
agreed. being an enabler is as offensive as being a perpetrator.
@craig. as per our other conversation.

But no, that wasn’t the joke I was anticipating.
i was tempted. but my new station in life demands decorum.
all the same, a fetish for a pearl necklace atop a rugby jersey? mixed message there.

But it makes me feel as if little has changed, the soup(society) we all swim in produces, with another generation, the same result.
that would be the key for me, ensuring no next generation of mine does stupid shit he might regret.
doing us all a favour really.

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Deborah,
That’s a very scary thing to do i.e. to interrogate your own past behaviour.
i think too many people only associate rape with violence.
what recent high-profile cases have taught me is that the definition is far broader. broad enough to make me take a very long look at my own behaviour.
the main problem i encounter is the concern that while my intention may not have been to hurt people, i could have inadvertently. the question this raises is, WTF to do about it?

Up Front: Respectably-Dressed Sensible…, in reply to Emma Hart,
I’d like to see ONE discussion where people talk about what they – and everyone else – can do about rape prevention.
am late to the party, am very busy doing other stuff - so, possible reiteration of someone else.
my (most humble) suggestions for rape prevention are twofold, and aimed at the guys:
- think about whether you’re already guilty of it
- just don’t do it. -
Hard News: Cheer Germ, in reply to Peter Darlington,
