@PhilosophyExp @sjzara @AndrewDEvans I left my ipod in plain site and my car got broken into.

@JustinSiegel2 @sjzara @AndrewDEvans You *wouldn't* be culpable for the theft, but you would be culpable for your carelessness.

@PhilosophyExp @JustinSiegel2 @AndrewDEvans That helps me understand - thank you.

@sjzara @PhilosophyExp @JustinSiegel2 but are these analogies really transferable?

@AndrewDEvans @sjzara @PhilosophyExp @JustinSiegel2 your lack of good judgment doesn't lessen the crime. They are independent.

@toxicpath @AndrewDEvans @sjzara Yes, that's the point. But risk taking isn't *necessarily* morally culpable (dangerous sports, again).

@PhilosophyExp @toxicpath @sjzara but don't you think advice that focuses exclusively on the victim feeds into and supports a rape culture?

@AndrewDEvans @toxicpath @sjzara Plus, it's not a zero-sum issue - advice on staying safe doesn't preclude other strategies.

@PhilosophyExp @AndrewDEvans @sjzara And what if they were assured the street was safe? What if reports of its danger were supressed?

@underverse @PhilosophyExp @sjzara that's not really the point. Shouldn't you focus on why the street is unsafe?

@AndrewDEvans @PhilosophyExp @sjzara I think you are misconstruing me. I'm arguing that responsibility requires good data.

@underverse @AndrewDEvans of Iraq, for example). You can be culpably ignorant.

@PhilosophyExp @AndrewDEvans That's an insane analogy. Where for example is the crime the US military was a victim of?

@underverse @AndrewDEvans Eh? I'm not sure what we're talking about here! It wasn't supposed to be any kind of analogy. (Not being snarky.)

@PhilosophyExp @AndrewDEvans We're talking about the culpability (or lack thereof) of someone who has been wronged. The subtext is obvious.

@underverse @AndrewDEvans Sorry, it wasn't obvious to me, so clearly I'm not going to be able to cope with this conversation. Such is life.
