There are worse foks than Madoff out there, and some of them are walking around free and being idolized by their fellow man. I’m talking scum like George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. At least Madoff is in jail where he belongs. ---

:sigh: I was wondering how long it would be before Bush and Cheney were dragged into the thread. I mean, they really are the most wicked people on the planet, right? And **accidentalyuppie** , have you never heard of a fucking link? Take your interminable post and shove it sideways up your ass, it may serve as a painful reminder to be more considerate of your fellow Dopers. ---

Bush and Dick Cheney. At least Madoff is in jail where he belongs. Really? George Bush? Does he have to be brought into every thread about bad things. Lost your puppy? Well that’s George Bushs fault. Madoff should be punished, and so should the stupid SEC agents who were tipped off to the scheme eight years ago.[http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/27/60minutes/main4833667.shtml](http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/02/27/60minutes/main4833667.shtml) Do I want to see the man suffer? Sure I do. But no matter what is done to him, in the end the people he screwed out of money are still going to be just as bad off. ---

> [@accidentalyuppie](#): > > That helped, too. And, on rereading it I like your wishes for Madoff better than mine now that I am starting to calm down. I guess I am not good at pit threads but you are probably right but I hope he’s completely scared shitless the rest of his life. Well there ya go. Another Pit Thread ends well. All he needed was someone with a bit more imagination to help him out and improve upon his violence fantasies to find a non-violent but equally satisfying solution. Huzzah for the Pit! ---

Why the hell would anyone rape Bernard Madoff? He’s seventy years old. I highly doubt that even the most desperate and horny prisoner would resort to raping a seventy-year-old man. And from everything I’ve heard and read, actual prison rape is very rare to begin with. What is more common, supposedly, is younger and weaker men being coerced into sex by older and stronger prisoners, with the unspoken understanding that they might be harmed if they don’t go along with it, or that they’ll be “protected” if they do. Again, not a situation likely to apply to a _seventy-year-old man_ in prison. What is it with these bizarre scenarios people come up with? I mean, if the guy who was going away was 25 years old or something, I could see it, but we’re talking about a man who’s way too old to provide a sexual thrill to anyone but the most perverse and twisted of prisoners. Unless that special guy happens to be in the prison with Madoff, I really doubt he’s going to be sexually abused. He might get beaten up or something, or maybe even killed. But these rape scenarios are really absurd. ---

> [@](#): > > What is more common, supposedly, is younger and weaker men being coerced into sex That’s rape. It doesn’t matter if the men are not physically attacked, if they are coerced, IT IS RAPE. They do not freely consent to sex. If there’s no free consent, IT IS RAPE. ---

Actually, you’re right, it is still a form of rape. It’s just different from the kind that everyone seems to think happens because of its exposure in movies like American History X - someone gets ambushed in the shower by a bunch of bigger and stronger guys, and forcibly raped on the spot. I have read that this is exceptionally rare, but people seem to have a perception (fostered by popular culture) that it happens all the time. The other kind of rape is far more common, from my understanding (and I’m sure it would be equally traumatic.) I highly doubt that Bernard Madoff is going to wind up in either of those situations. ---

I think people like fantasizing about prison rape because it gives them permission to think in way that is normally supposed to be forbidden. It’s happening to a bad person so it is okay to be excited about it. ---

> [@Qwisp](#): > > Really? George Bush? Does he have to be brought into every thread about bad things. Well he is a lying traitorous scumbag war criminal deserving of his own execution policies as Texas governor. Anyone who enabled him by vote was either a traitor or a deluded fool. But yea folks lets leave bush out of it. This guy isn’t Bush level bad but damn if ever anyone deserved jail. ---
