♥ vain brain ♥
anything goes ♥
a more well-brought-up reaction minus the harshness i decided to write an article about the most talked issue of the year, the Subic rape case but it ended up to be full of hatred, violent words and terrible attacks that might put me into a libel suit. however, in this new and supposedly decent and proper article, i will be trying my very best not to say anything horrific against the verdict that was released several days ago. i repeat : i will try. for the past few days, i've been hearing and reading news about the Subic rape case and it never failed to intersect my eyebrows and made me blurt dreadful words against the complainant, "Nicole". she didn't escaped my critical scrutiny which made me question her so-called "innocence". i am also a woman and i know how she felt about being "raped". i'm sure it will be hard for her to completely forget that night and move on with her life after what happened. moreover, i am also a person and i as well know how alleged and convicted sex-offender,Daniel, felt after being sentenced of reclusion perpetua while his other companions on the said crime were acquited for failure of the prosecution to adduce sufficient evidence against them. a lot of people have been debating over this issue since the case burst out. and it's not about the verdict. it's about 'Nicole'. well, i must admit i always bring conversations regarding this. i even asked my SS teacher and my adviser their views regarding her testimony. okay, let's have an evaluation here. she went to Neptune Bar late night of Nov.1, 2005. She's said to be dressed unproperly. She drank a lot and danced with Daniel Smith. And God knows what's next. she's wearing tight-fitting jeans that night. everybody knows how hard it is to remove it most especially inside a moving van. if she's having a hard time removing it, how much more the other man in the scene? okay, let's not dwell on that. going out late at night, drinking more than what you can really handle and dancing with a stranger are deeds that really smell fishy, for me . there is this famous line that says that "you are what you eat". yes, it's a different thing. we're not talking about food here but come to think of it, if we'll change the word 'eat' to 'act' , then maybe we're picturing the idea how the marines got hooked. maybe i am being conservative here, but if i'm really a woman of values, i wouldn't dance with a stranger in a bar. we all know and we see from movies how dancing can act as a catalyst to something more intimate, something more sexual. sure, even a whore can get raped. but the thing here really is whether she showed gestures that she is on for Smith. as how we say it, "actions speak louder than words. was she born only yesterday? aren't she aware that her ways of "having fun" are morally questionable and provocative? we are not anymore in a world where all men respect women of such character. she triggered the marines and thus commited the crime. her story is somehow comparable to the story of Adam and Eve. it was Eve who prompt Adam in eating the forbidden fruit. it was Eden who caused Adam to commit the mistake although Adam had his own decision, Eve had influenced him bite into it. temptation and sin are dynamic duos, you know. are the bottles of beer the culprit? are they to blame? of course not. she shouldn't have drank or she could've controlled herself and put things on the right place. if she really insists of taking alcohol, she should have just drank with discipline and responsibility like how a line will go, "drink moderately". sure, she wants fun. everybody wants fun. but is that the type of fun she wants? is that the fun she was looking for? going out and having fun doesn't mean you should forget all the values that your family, school, church and society cultivated on you. and making every possible way to get out of that awful scene or at least making a way to stop the penetration will move mountains. and as the aftermath of that mysterious and kinky night, a 21-year old man will spend 40 yrs of his life in jail. in an overcrowded jail of a third world country supported and once colonized by his own nation. and he also has to pay a total of 100,000 pesos for compensatory and moral damages. i am not saying Daniel Smith is innocent and Nicole is all to blame. No, what i am saying is IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO.
