    No thanks, you’re starting this debate, you can learn the legal definitions. Pick your state, look up the statute.

    Many felonies have degrees of severity but it sounds like you’re just trying to argue.

      Actually, you started this debate. I wasn’t debating with anyone. You just decided to start arguing with me about it.

      I’d say talk to a few rape victims and ask them if they feel that there are different degrees of rape, but I have a feeling you’d just tell them you know better than they do and then tell them that they were the ones who decided to argue with you about it.

        Are you as outraged by distinction between 1st and 2nd degree murder?

        I get the feeling you just want to be mad at me for pointing out the law is more complex than your outrage.

          What makes you think there is any outrage or anger from me? Please quote what I said that makes you think so.

          Edit: It makes me laugh every time people downvote me for not being angry. I always picture some person absolutely incensed that I dare not be angry about it and furiously pushing the downvote button.
