There you go again. Spewing venom at the family. Must be something in your

What is your problem?
A lot of people feel that way. When was the last time you heard about
the thousand or more people still missing and probably dead in their
ruined New Orleans homes since Katrina? How many college kids end up
dead of drug overdoses or alcohol and pills binges on spring break in
Mexico? How many thousands more, men and women alike, are missing now
and have for a lot longer than Holloway? Is Natalee more important
than any of them..... or all of them?
The worst of it is that Holloway's parents do seem to enjoy the
limelight. Especially that unhinged mother of hers. I find her so
irritating that I can't watch her anymore. But it's my impression from
all that I have seen (and heard when I fled the room) was arrogance
and a bunch of sabre-rattling about how she hates dealing with people
in Aruba. I never hear her speak affectionately about her daughter.
And where else on earth would people dig up everything but the
cemeteries looking for a body when there's no hard evidence that there
even was foul play.
If you doubt the public reaction to this excess of media
hand-wringing, just do a Google search on the name Natalee Holloway.
The first link that comes up is "F Natalee Holloway."
I'm not kidding.
Do you have any idea how many people are put off by the way the media
has handled this story? I'm sure that in the beginning, they thought
they'd gotten hold of a thriller about a lily-white high school grad
who got mixed up with a bunch of third world devils and whose body
would wash ashore any minute. Instead, we've heard hours of coverage
of the case a day, rarely any news, and we got only a brief respite
during the twin hurricanes in the Gulf. But still there's no tangible
evidence of foul play.
By keeping their faces in the media, Natalee's parents have succeeded
only in exposing to the world the fact that their "perfect" daughter
had a rocky relationship with the mother (called her "Hitler's
daughter") and that she spent her last night behaving like a
liquor-crazed nympho in a bar.
And they just don't know when to quit.

I think a lot of people owe apologies. They haven't even come up with
evidence of a crime so far. So why smear anyone with "guilt"?

She's 18, he was 17. Maybe she raped him.
Why does the fact that she was drinking, or drunk, make it rape? If
you can't give your consent drunk, then let all the convicted drunk
drivers out of jail. They couldn't consent to driving, then, could
they?
If you think it's rape, read the Vanity Fair story.
Your driving analogy is just stupid.

You cheapen the act of real rape, actual forced sexual intercourse,
when you try to defend lewd conduct by saying 'she didn't really mean
it.' She had a choice. She made it. There is no rape.

Disgusting.
Out here in the real world, sometimes a girl has a few drinks, she dances
provocatively, she gets out of hand. Sometimes a drunk girl will make out
with you right there in the bar, it happens. That doesn't translate in to
consent for anyone to take a free shot if she passes out. Duh!

That's like saying manslaughter cheapens murder. There are different types
of homicide, and there are different types of sexual assault. But sex with
someone who is too wasted to know what is going on is an assault, plain and
simple.
What you are saying here is an insult to every victim of date rape and
similar heinous actions.

Sorry, I do not agree. If a woman asks a man to have sex with her,
even if she's had too much to drink, she's giving her consent. If you
worry that you might go on a sex binge because you're intoxicated,
then consume less or do it in a place where you won't meet potential
partners. It's that simple. We don't need sex police to tell us which
consensual acts are really consensual. Women are not so helpless and
vulnerable that we can't stand up for ourselves.

Not at all. There's a huge difference between young women partying all
night at spring break and doing one night stands while liquored-up and
women attacked by rapists.
Thank you - I was going to reply to him but you said it all.
I know a little bit about date rape myself...
