You don't. You should be careful with the girl who brings it to your car, but on the bright side, at least she can't rape or enslave you.

But that was the entire upside of the visit, other than the coconut shrimp of course.

You can't rape the willing, but you can feed them coconut shrimp.

Round #1, Pick #7:
Rape

Rape hardly needs is own write up.
By it's definition is it the forcing of your own will and want upon someone else. You are forcing them to submit to your power and your decisions. There have been some very beautiful things that have come of rape, many lives that would not have been otherwise, but these do not excuse this terrible crime.

But what's worse, is that beyond the act of rape there can be life long, or life ending troubles associated with it. If the victim is to get pregnant as a result, this can potential ruin 2 lives, that of the mother or of the child. Giving birth can kill mothers who do not or can not take the right precautions or afford the right care.

And what's more, there is no good reason why Rape 'could' be acceptable.
There is no 'I killed him so that he wouldn't kill someone else'.
No 'I use religion as a crutch to get me through the day'.
None of this 'Tipping helps people who work harder, and deliver better service to get rewarded for their hard work, many of which would not come serve you if you didn't tip them because the 'average' wages for a restaurant under the alternative are not good enough to justify the level of work/effort that a good server puts into waiting on their tables.'
Spoiler:
/tipping rant


Rape is just plain evil.

I like where you guys are all headed here, but lets be honest. You're all wrong.
The correct answer here, and my Round 2, pick #3 is Abuse.

What's wrong with the internet? The various ways that people abuse it. Porn, over-reliance, molestation, replacement of friends/family/lifestyles.

What's wrong with being a dictator? Abusing your power to your own benefit to the detriment of those that you lead.

What's wrong with extremists? (Often) Abusing their political ideologies to the harm of others.

What's wrong with religion? (A lot of things...) but many of them surround the notion of abusing power in one form or another. Through convincing people to act one or another, to believe one thing or another.

War is arguably only bad because of the abuse of killing as a means to an end. Killing 1 person can be often agreed upon as the right thing to do. If killing 1 person is the right thing, then it would stand to reason that killing 2 people, or 3 people might also be the right thing. It becomes a problem when someone (or a group of someones) abuses their power to kill more people than was 'correct' in the larger picture.

In the end most things in life are not inherently good or evil, but it is their abuse that makes them evil.

I can't really say that I agree with ya'll.
But whatever.

I suppose I'll ponder something else for a few hours if the next person wants to bypass me for now.

I choose stupidity. No, my world isn't going to be filled with robotic super-geniuses, but I will be getting rid of your standard issue idiocy you see every day.

Basically I'll be eliminating the Dunning-Kruger effect. People that don't know about a certain topic will STFU about it and defer to experts.
