Have you ever heard a story about someone who did something so dumb you wanted to slap them? I've been reading a book titled Hey Idiot! and it has bunch of those stories. One of my personal favorites is one about a group of college girls who, in order to teach other women about sexual assault, picked a couple of random guys names out of a student directory and put up aroound 80 signs that said "Warning: These men are potential rapists." But apparently, adding "potential" to it made it okay. That's like saying a priest is a potential murderer, it's possible, but it's probably not happening. Now if that were me, somebody would be sued for defamation of character.
I'd probably sue the university, since they allowed the signs to be put up on their property, and they're the ones with the money.

Why not both, some people decide to sue as many people as possible when something like this happens.
I don't need to read about dumb people, I see them every day. :teddyr:
Eg: The glam skanks who wear short skirts, tops with no sleeves and a thick woollen scarf because they're cold. In autumn. In our sub tropical climate. When it's only about 22 degrees C (71F).
Eg: The really obese woman at my office who buys donuts and other greasy food with a Diet Coke

Or the ones who claim they're eating "healthy" by intaking salads. Then they load it up with eggs, bacon bits, ranch dressing, etc.

You forgot about the ones who go all sexual harassment on you if you catch a glance at what their wearing.

For sure. They dress to attract attention and when men look, they spit at them. But if you don't look, they call you a homo *lol*
As a woman, I like it when men look at me admiringly. Any woman who says she hates it is a bald faced liar, or a lesbian.

Any person is a potential anything. It just takes the right trigger. As humans we all have the capacity to behave in unacceptable and inhumane ways. But branding innocent men as potential rapists is nasty and low.

Thank you, knowing that there are people in this world who actually think like that gives me the slightest hope for our planet as a respectful society. Then if there actually
are aliens that have mastered intergallactic travel and can contribute something to Earth, they might not see us as a gigantic mass that will eventually destroy each other.

I hear that Patient7. But I don't think that humans will actually totally destroy each other. They'll put in a good effort, but the survival instinct is too strong.
