[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she got drink, raped, killed and dumped on the ocean. This is a big part of why I hate alcohol, especially for young people. You just don't make sound decisions nor have the ability to care for yourself when impaired. Dumb girl got drunk. [/quote]

So she deserved to die because she had some fun on a tropical island?[/quote]

PP didn't say Natalie deserved to die.  Nobody is blaming the victim for her awful demise.  However, someone didn't care if she deserved it or not.  He  took advantage of her fun-on-a-tropical-island condition. He didn't get the message about how rude and mean it is to do that.  Maybe he got the message and just ignored it.

So if you decide to have fun by getting drunk, please remember the gamble you are taking. Not all people are nice and mannerly; some may not play fair.

exactly.  it is NOT victim blaming to point out that getting drunk has risks.   [/quote]

It is, actually. That is the definition of victim blaming.[/quote]

What’s wrong with victim blaming? Are you telling your teenage daughters that it’s perfectly fine to go get drunk at the age of 18 and leave a bar with a strange guy? People who die while drunk driving, people who don’t wear helmets while riding a bike, people who go on hikes in the desert without enough water - it’s a tragedy when some of them die, but acknowledging that they were being reckless is how we learn not to make the same mistakes ourselves.[/quote]
