Jew York professor under fire over 'hypothetical' questions about rape By Cristina Corbin (http://www.foxnews.com/archive/author/cristina-corbin/index.html)

A University of Rochester professor will keep his job after comments he made on his personal blog questioning whether the rape of unconscious victims should be illegal, a school spokeswoman confirmed to FoxNews.com.

Economics professor Steven Landsburg came under fire from students at the university after he recently posted on the blog questions about rape — citing, in particular, the Stuebenville, Ohio, case in which two high school football players were convicted of raping an underage girl who was unconscious.


On his blog, "Censorship, Environmentalism and Steubenville," Landsburg posed questions such as: "As long as I am safely (unconscious) and therefore shielded from the costs of an assault, why shouldn’t the rest of the world (or more specifically my attackers) be allowed to reap the benefits?"


Landsburg also wrote: "If we legalize the rape of unconscious people, we will create an incentive to render people unconscious."


In an interview with FoxNews.com, Landsburg acknowledged that his remarks on an ongoing academic discussion could have been better worded, saying, "This was not one of my better blog posts."

"The whole reason it's an interesting question is that is seems so obvious to me that it should not be allowed," he said.


"The reason I’m asking a question is because my personal strong feelings run so counter to what would seem to follow from the standard principles of policy analysis. Those standard principles say that if there's no harm perceived than the action should be allowed."


University spokesman Bill Murphy said in a statement Thursday that: "The University of Rochester is committed to the academic freedom of our faculty and students. Their views are their own; they do not speak for the University."

"In his personal blog, Professor Landsburg poses some hypothetical questions about an unconscious rape victim," Murphy said. "He asks whether such rapes should be illegal. The University’s answer is that rape is abhorrent. It is and should be a crime."


When asked whether disciplinary action would be taken against Landsburg, Murphy said, "Not on the basis of what we now know."

But Landsburg's explanation and the school's have done little to quell outrage from students who are calling for him to be censured.
Some students have started an online petition urging the school's president to censure Landsburg and the newspaper reported that they plan to stage a protest outside his class on Monday.
"We want to give the university a chance to express its outrage," Daniel Nelson, a UR graduate student who drafted the student petition, told the The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester newspaper. "There are many people who have not signed the petition but nevertheless want to protest his remarks as insensitive, irresponsible and and even dangerous."

This ideology stems from psychiatry or is justified by psychiatry. Not sure which comes first. It is a belief that a child under hynosis suggestion is not traumatised by sexual activities so it's ok to molest them during "treatment". Same concept. It follows, what you don't know can't hurt you.

Except of course in this situation, and this is the key issue. It's not the behaviour per say thats the issue, its the knowledge of the behaviour or events surrounding it that are the points for concern. Not only does the vicitim in this case know what happened, because it was tweeted or something, but the rest of society knows now as well and THAT is the issue here.

Coming from the people whose holy book teaches : A child aged three years is fit for cohabitation

Are you REALLY surprised......I mean really?

From the OP:
Landsburg also wrote: "If we legalize the rape of unconscious people, we will create an incentive to render people unconscious."


Sounds like what the government has been doing to the Sheeple.

I think this guy is just asking a serious question. He is not advocating or minimizing rape in any way. Just the opposite.



"The whole reason it's an interesting question is that is seems so obvious to me that it should not be allowed," he said.

You might consider what rape is and, just as important, what it is not here .... from Law or a Discourse Thereof, circa 1759

The act of consenting it seems might not be a conscious one.

Palani, if your old book there is actually suggesting that rape is A-OK, as long as she gets pregnant... it might just be as looney as the Talmud.

Kinda biblical....

From Deuteronomy:

22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

The cites are given. You might take the time to research them. I have no doubt the author did not make up this concept of 'choice'.

Instead of questioning the concept you might want to dig a little deeper to find out how 'choice' is manifested in other ways. Expand your mind. That doesn't mean you have to agree with it but take the opportunity to understand how others might possibly construe facts.

Exactly. This is typical Jew-think, parsing of meaning to such an absurd degree that any action becomes permissable. According to this guy's logic, it should be OK for government and the banks to fleece the people of their hard-earned wealth if the people are blissfully unaware (i.e. inflation, securitization, and other finacial cons) of it because they are not suffering any emotional harm. You got that, stupid goyim?

This one off some Jew guy took a dump in the woods is weak sauce.

Pick a religion (or not even), spin the wheel, and you get fucked up people in every direction.

There's obsessions, and then there's obsessions.

It seems no obvious bias going on here...lol

joos on Jerry Seinfeld say it's ok to rape when under anesthesia

Elaine: "Okay...So you were violated by two people while you were under the
gas. So What? You're single."
