Good day! Guten Abend! Bork de bork bork bork! (See Swedish Chef)
Welcome to the first but regrettably not the last (for my blood pressure at least) in Napalm News! Where I take a look at some of the latest news events where I cannot help but wish to flame, and some people just need to have some napalm dumped over their heads for the sheer idiocy of their comments.
Today we honour T.L.* a reader who wrote in to the Singapore Straits Time where his letter was published on page A45 on 27 August 2011.
His letter contained a line, so gobsmackingly fucking retarded, that I felt it couldn't just be left alone to stew in Singapore. This line needs to be shared with the world. Because he deserves a prize for the line. Now, to provide the necessary context so I can't be accused of taking the line out of context.
The context is recently in Singapore news, a teenager has committed a murder sparking debate about when is too young to face the death penalty? Basically, how young is too young to die for murder? Well... the discussion steers towards when a child is mature enough etc... to make those decisions. But that is not why I feel the letter was fucking retarded. Oh no. If only it just said his opinion was that murder was murder, and that you hung the murderer regardless. That in itself is controversial but not completely bollocking stupid. Because well... that is the culture of death and retribution. One which even the United Kingdom's populace sometimes yearns to return too, even though they do not know what they ask for.
No, the bloody stupid line is this. I repeat it here verbatim:
If the other objective of capital punishment is deterrence, which is deemed all the more necessary against not weighing ones actions carefully, then there should be no minimum age for exemption, because that would leave it forever open to exploitation; the way a cunning minor who seduces or tricks a foolish adult into having sex shall always have the upperhand.
The bolded emphasis is mine. The sentence above for its inept construction alone would be worthy of contempt. Its contents merely add fuel to the flames. But no, the bolded parts are what truly tipped me over the edge I must confess. To make me realize that sometimes, when you see something so fucking retarded, you have to share it with the world, and also dump some fucking napalm in a roundabout way on the author.** And also because the national newspaper is a terrible forum on which to flame someone.
So Mr. T.L. Let me just vent and ask WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT STATUTORY RAPE.
Seriously, what the fuck does this even allude to? That the blame is on a "cunning" minor? This is a loophole in the law that needs to be closed? Can such a thing even be considered a loophole?
What the hell is the train of thought that leads to a fucking sentence like that. What the hell is the mental framework. Is this the train of thought of people who commit statutory rape? Is this somehow a good analogy for the goddamn death penalty and whether it should apply to minors?
What the hell do those rapists sound like at the police station? : "Oh honest officer, I didn't know he/she was underage. Curse those cunning minors for making me commit statutory rape. How could they take advantage of a foolish adult like myself? I mean, all I did was sit there, minding my own business, when this cunning minor came out in skimpy clothing and pole danced. I was seduced I tell you officer!"
Errrr... no you dumbshit. You're a adult, he/she is a minor. No sexy sexy. No bad touchy touchy. No weird hoo haa moola. Basically, onus is on you to fucking keep your hands to yourself. Not "Cunning plan you tricky minor!". The law does not work that way. This is like that frigging Eminem song 'Guilty Conscience'. And I quote that wigger: "What? She tripped? Fell? Landed on his dick?"
Is that what you mean by a cunning minor tricking and seducing a foolish adult? Any adult who uses that excuse isn't foolish. We're talking full blown goddamn retard here. And a retard who can't keep their hands off minors needs to be kept away from minors.
If you ever stumble upon this page Mr. T.L, I hope you will enlighten me upon the train of thought that led to that fucking retarded analogy. Because that is not a fucking valid defence for statutory rape. Ever.
Why is this shit even in the fucking national broadsheet. Were there no other fucking letters on this topic to print at all? FSM Almighty, this is some seriously retarded crap.
*I was originally going to publish the man's full name. But then I thought that would be unfair to all those people who shared his name. Two rather common names (see Google Plus. Real name implementation, because theres no two people of the same name right...) But you know, if you have that much free time to check, why not take a look at the original microfilm copy and verify the truth of the fucking stupid comments.
** The allusion here is to internet flaming. Napalm news... get it? And now the allusion has been explained. maybe I should have let people puzzle over that. And release the answer next post of something.
