like I said on the BB, you can't get stinking drunk and rob a bank and then say you didn't know what you were doing. The law's answer in that case is to say, "OK, don't get drunk then. Also, you're still going to jail." Getting raped is not something you choose to do.

    - if someone takes money out of someone's wallet while they are drunk, it's still theft - zork Apr 26, 10:31 3
      - she was drunk! and she left her purse laying there, open! it was an invitation to take her money. -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 10:32 2
        
        Wouldn't a better analogy be, "She said I could have the $20." -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 10:33
        
        And her purse was really skimpy and sexy. It was just asking for it. -- nm - mara Apr 26, 10:33
    - I'm with you on this. (Though I think biology has a big role to play there in that alcohol usually hits females harder.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 26, 10:29
- not at that age and that level of intoxication, we've decided. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 10:21
