point 1: 50 fertile women and (presumably) 50 fertile men are not enough to ensure the repopulation of the world by the human species. That's way too small of a gene pool. If I remember my high school biology correctly, you would need about 1000 of each to prevent the species from degrading into and inbred, retarded and infertile mess that would die out quickly of its own bad genes.
point 2: the human species became what it is through rape. 10,000 years ago there was no recreational consentual sex as we know it today. the males of the species took the females whenever and whereever they wanted, by force if necessary. You can see the same thing happen by watching stray cats if you have them in your neighborhood. the difference is that back then, they didnt know it was rape, they acted thusly on instinct.
point 3: unless you believe in a mandate for survival from whatever god you worship, then I dont see how you can say that humanity needs to survive. sure, I think we all want the species to go on, and I think its commonly accepted that there is a survival instinct in our genes that propels us to try to keep the species alive. But I dont personally see how it is any great loss to the universe if homo sapiens sapiens becomes extinct. the universe "cares" less for us than we do for the common housefly. with or without humanity in the mix, the universe will continue to do its thing for many millenia, and the passing of humanity will not affect it in the slightest.
point 4: I agree with those who say that if rape is the only means for the survival of the species, perhaps it is time to let the species die out. Rape is a crime against not only the individual but also the species as a whole. In my system of morality, the only crime worse than rape is murder. And I dont believe that either of them can ever be justified.
point 5: There are other means of continuing the species, such as artificial insemination, in vitro vertilization, etc, that could potentially be utilized so that even those women who didnt want have or bear childern could contribute to the continuation of the species.
point 6: chizzle, just in case the mods havent already informed you (and i'm sure they have) you were way out of line in this thread. you are free to express your opinions here, but insulting the other members is NOT accepted. another outburst like what you did in this thread will most assuredly result in your being banned from TFP. please clean up your act.
