We took a poll yesterday about whether or not rape is worse than murder, now I'm wondering, if you had to suffer a crime, which would you rather be?

    Really? People would choose to be raped? Rape isnt fun. Its not like you have an option. Life or death you can choose. Thats why suicides happen. I'd know. I've attempted suicide. But i was raped at age 4 by an old man. You think i can live with that? I wanna die every day and i hate showers cause i feel no matter what i'll never be clean. Its insulting for people to "choose" rape. Less then 20% of rapist actually get charged. Of that, less then 5% actually get sentenced to prison. So if you think government will save you your wrong. Take it from someone who knows from experience....

    I've known people and actually still know rape victims and it hurts to see the ways it still effects them even until this day. It's hurtful and the memory never leaves you, my friend has these thoughts of her rapist in m=her mind most of the time and the friends that I know most of their perpetrators were never brought to justice. I'd rather be killed. It would be done once I've suffered and then I won't live to long after that because I don't think I would be strong enough to deal with it anyway. Another reasoning is unfortunately because many of my friend's parents not believe them for a very very long time and so suffered alone and still do in a way because they live in their pain alone.

    To be honest, if I had to choose between rape or murder, I would choose rape. I think they are both absolutely horrible and I wish that no one had to suffer either of them, but personally, the thought of leaving behind my family and friends to deal with that on their own... I just find that so unfathomable and heartbreaking. If I were raped, I know that my loved ones would support me in bringing the perpetrator to justice and help me work through the agony of feeling as though my body no longer belonged to me. But I would be alive, and I would be with them, and I honestly value that above all else. Having said that, I have never been raped, and am lucky enough to NOT know the physical and emotional pain that is forced upon victims. Maybe I would choose differently if I knew.
