		<description>I read this morning the definite Korean law about the statutory rape:

1) Having sex with a child less or equal to thirteen, even if mutually agreed, is illegal: http://www.yonhapnews.co.kr/news/20060309/060300000020060309172613K2.html

2) The rape of a person older than thirteen can be treated as if it is a battery.  Koreans start calling the rape(강간)with a new name, the sexual battery(성폭력)a few years ago.  The injuring party can pay restitution, usually monetary but in some cases the promise of marriage, and be reconciled to the injured party.</description>

		<description>&lt;b&gt;In olden days of Korea, all women are required to carry a small dagger, to fend off possible rape and also to commit suicide if “dirtied”. In much the same spirit, Korean government must furnish a small size Mace with an official stamp to every female child, elementary school and up.&lt;/b&gt;

And in the spirit of the ancient ways, if a woman of today somehow ends up getting "dirtied" despite such protection, she should be expected to mace herself.</description>

		<description>Mace?  That's just what everyone needs - to feel more fearful.

&lt;em&gt;And, any man of any age who had a sexual contact with an underaged female should be “neutered” in an official facility.&lt;/em&gt;

1. Should a 19 year-old be neutered for having sex with an 18 year old?  One of the problems with rigid age of consent laws (as opposed to those that allow for sex within a range of 2-4 years) is that people are considered criminals for having sex with someone a year or two younger.  Oh, and worth remembering is that 'underaged' differs from country to country.

2. Neutering and &lt;em&gt;especially&lt;/em&gt; physical conditioning which makes them feel physically ill if they experience 'corrected' desires I think are, as a society, pretty barbaric punishments to inflict on people(the conditioning, especially).  If they're that dangerous, keep them in prison.

As for punishing motel owners, a friend saw a case on TV in which a man and a 15 year old girl had sex in a motel room which the owner had been nice enough to hide a 'Molka' in.  When the video turned up on the internet, the Motel owner was charged for filming and for allowing a 15 year old enter the motel.  The man wasn't charged; whether it's because the video was inadmissable as evidence (i have no idea about rules for evidence in Korea's legal system) or because the age of consent is actually still 13, I have no idea.</description>

		<description>And, I think all elementary, junior and high school female should be taught about dangers of rape and required to carry Mace as protection.  The teacher should check this fact everyday.  

Yesterday, a high school kid, after watching some X-rated material from internet, raped a 3rd grade elementary school student living in the same apartment.  She happened to get on to the wrong elevator, the one with the oversexed boy.  He took her to the top of the building and raped her.</description>

		<description>MiHwa,

You quoted me out of context.  You should include this;"Blaming men does not help. There will always be men who will entertain her type. She must reform."

Those men are scums but, with high hormone's urging, some innocent young men can fall prey to the opposite sex as well in the same way that poor people will steal from a drunk lying on the street.  Both parties involved are bad.  However, the whole thing started with a junior behaving erratically.

There was another story like this on the paper.  http://www.yonhapnews.co.kr/news/20060308/060100000020060308163456K3.html

New story is more reliable (no cock-and-bull about a pharmacy technician, Yonhap may have put this mediocre story in the front page to cover up for the previous fiction) and typical of what is happening in Korean society.  A junior high school deliquent with no parental control running wild and an old predator looking for a score.  I think the real solution is to hold motel owners responsible.  If any underaged child gets into a room with a possible sexual partner, the owner goes to jail.  Period.  He should be responsible for who are in the rooms.</description>

Thanks for the words of encouragement.  Where would I be if even my Mum gave up on me?</description>

		<description>Perhaps Deacon Baduk misunderstands the root of "predator." It's &lt;i&gt;prey&lt;/i&gt; (as in &lt;i&gt;prey upon&lt;/i&gt;), not &lt;i&gt;pray&lt;/i&gt;.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;
You cannot call men evil when a woman puts out
&lt;/strong&gt;

However, men who rape underage girls are sex offenders and child molesters. I wouldn't want them living in my neighborhood. They should all live near Baduk, since he thinks that nothing's wrong with them.</description>
