Kim *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** Look you f*cking asshole, I think from this statement we can safely say that YOU are looking for an excuse to rape. You are one of the men in this world that makes the rest of the men look bad. No, I repeat, no women wants to be raped. And any man who insists on believing that they secretly want to, should seriously consider getting professional help. You are sick, very sick. I have managed to stay out of the argument until now but sometimes you just come up against something that makes you ill. ---georgia
