Finally pulled out the ol backup keyboard now.
And while I defintly agree that rape is wrong and should be illegal in our socitey today I just don't see it as an absolute wrong. What about in accient times when people lived in smaller groups? Tribes or pretribe times. What if all the woman (or all the men for that matter) all decided to stop breeding just for the sole purpose of the men (or women) not having children (or for whatever reason.) I don't think it is wrong if it is REQUIRED to keep the species. Of course that is an extreme circumstance and one that would never apply to our society today. Which is of course why I see it as a right or wrong dictated by society and not an absolute wrong. I still think that murder is in absolute wrong. Now remember that murder is not just to kill. Dictionary.com defines murder as 1. The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice. 2. To kill brutally or inhumanly. Putting a murder to death or deaths involved in war are not murder (as a rule that is... murder CAN happen in war but that dosn't mean all deaths are murders)
