Bells, I never advocated anything you have said here about me. You're taking this to the extreme and putting words/logic in my mouth. Why don't you add "chastity belts" to your list of imaginary logic? And speaking of very large attack dogs, I worked in underwriting in America for Allianz who must refuse you homeowners' insurance if you had even one, small, aggressive dog.
No Bells, my post apparently did not register with you. Negligence does not refer to when "someone does something wrong", it refers to when "someone fails to do something right" — fails to act responsibly — and the "something right" is "being reasonable and prudent". I have studied law, and I am published in law, and I know what I'm talking about.

So chimpkin, before we get into your latest post, is "doing something supremely foolish" right or wrong?
To wit, should the victim do the same "supremely foolish" thing again under identical circumstances?
And seriously, if you practice what you preach, you should call your insurance company and find out if they insure your property for loss if you leave your car (or home) unlocked and unattended.

In some parts of the civilized world, negligence toward securing one's car has become a crime! From Allianz in Australia:

Legally, the standards for recklessness and negligence also apply when you are harmed. Here's an example from Maryland: source
Here's another example from Nevada:source
Great. Now tell me how a rape victim is 'negligent'? How about the 4 year old girl Wynn stated was somewhat responsible and complicit in her own rape? I ask you because Wynn specifically said that she would leave me to you to explain.
So please, explain, with your legal experience, just how a rape victim is negligent when she is raped? How does she contribute to her own rape, as you seem to be applying contributory negligence into the mix? What proper precautions should women take to not be raped? What about a 4 year old girl? Now, you should know that women are raped in their homes by their family members, spouses, boyfriends and partners, friends, teachers, doctors, nurses, strangers. Since we are dealing with criminal law here, please, state your case.
Wynn advised Chimpkin that she contributed and shared responsibility to her own rape when she was 4 years of age. When I took umbrage with her statements, she advised me that she would leave me to you to explain, as I linked and explained above. So please, explain to me how Chimpkin was negligent as a 4 year old and how she is legally responsible for her own rape.
I await your response with much eagerness.
