- agentsrecord, on 03/13/2009, -9/+100They think Rihanna was the cause of this? Was her eye just 'asking' for it, looking all not bruised? File this under another reason to legalize shock treatment on teenagers.
- lowdose, on 03/14/2009, -6/+82Why bother to poll teenagers, hell, lets go ask the town drunk what he thinks about astrophysics while we are at it...
- kzoopSF, on 03/13/2009, -12/+76This makes me really sad. Chris Brown destroyed his own damn career when he decided to knock Rihanna senseless.
- jayrok, on 03/14/2009, -3/+60They're wicked retahded.
- DivineLies, on 03/14/2009, -1/+5644 percent said it was normal part of a relationship? yes, punching your gf in the face is normal...teen girls must be beat often by their partners in boston...
- diggnidy, on 03/14/2009, -11/+50WHO CARES?
- zephc, on 03/14/2009, -3/+42"Survey finds that teenagers will lie to statiticians for the lulz"
There, fixed that for ya. - johnnr2, on 03/14/2009, -1/+37Someone forgot to teach their children well!
- zachattack5491, on 03/14/2009, -3/+32Chris Brown never had a career. No one will remember him in 6 months.
- inactive, on 03/14/2009, -5/+31Actually, the study finds that most teens do not blame Rihanna.
And by most teens, I mean the majority of 200 who were surveyed and are all from the same area. Useless data, useless survey, zero value provided once again by a newspaper. TMZ could do a better job (which is utterly pathetic)
Listen to some of Chris Brows hits while you look at the pictures of what he did to her. His career doesn't even make sense. - pedo, on 03/14/2009, -2/+23this is like when islamic courts punish the rape victim for being raped. it is a similar mentality at work here.
- angrykeyboarder, on 03/14/2009, -9/+30This is nuts. WTF is wrong with people? This is NOT normal. She did not deserve to to be beaten. It doesn't matter what she did.
- smacksaw, on 03/14/2009, -5/+25All I know is that Umbrella-ella-ella-ella ***** pisses me off.
- inactive, on 03/14/2009, -2/+22I anticipate answers including the word "sammich."
- AriaStar, on 03/14/2009, -1/+17No, he's sad that Rhianna is being blamed when Chris brought this on himself when HE decided to use her as a human punching bag.
- MadHarvey, on 03/14/2009, -0/+15They are not asking teens because they value their opinion.
They are asking teens because they want to observe the morals and values our ***** up culture is instilling in them.
These kids are going to grow up to be abusers, and the girls will grow up to be complacent and apologetic to them. It is ***** disgusting.
That is why they are asking teens... - multiformat, on 03/14/2009, -1/+15Study is flawed, they asked only 200 male Boston teens all named Chris.
- AriaStar, on 03/14/2009, -2/+16Agreed. Having spent four years in an abusive relationship where forced sex and whipping with vacuum cords was just part of life, it fills me with rage that ANYONE can think an abuse victim can possibly be at fault.
- jodhas, on 03/14/2009, -3/+16Blame her for getting pummeled in the face? No. Not her fault.
Physical violence in a relationship should never be condoned. This is not up for debate.
However, she is a fool for not going after him by all legal means possible. If what CB did was true, then he is nothing more than a criminal. Rihanna needs to step up and protect her rights by bringing alight to CB's criminal behaviour that night instead of trying to cover him up.
Having said that, while what CB did was wrong and it isn't Rihanna's fault for getting pounded, I do not feel sorry for her. - CrazySunshine, on 03/14/2009, -1/+14Is 200 from one area really a decent sample?
- AriaStar, on 03/14/2009, -0/+13Apparently kids don't realize that VERBAL fights are normal, not fists.
- blackmesa, on 03/14/2009, -0/+13It's what is known as a "***** sample"
- Threlly1, on 03/14/2009, -3/+15I would NEVER hit my partner, I don't care what had happened.
If you need to walk away, walk away.
It just goes to show how society has become so childlike, that people
think it's almost acceptable behaviour. - Toshibi, on 03/14/2009, -0/+11a stool sample?
- Biscuitz, on 03/14/2009, -2/+13No, ask the town pot head about astrophysics. That conversation would be awesome. Haha
- ionelementz112, on 03/14/2009, -2/+13Apparently, Chris Brown got a Booty Text (as opposed to a Booty Call) and Rihanna got pissed, so she slapped him. That wasn't enough though. She continued the assault by attacking his fists with her face and his teeth with her arms.
Yeah, she deserved it. - cambob76, on 03/14/2009, -1/+11Oh, wait a minute... I don't. WTF am I doing reading these comments? Thanks, I'm outta here!
- brodsky13, on 03/14/2009, -1/+11***** you, 46%
- AriaStar, on 03/14/2009, -1/+11Doesn't matter what the "motivation" is. You don't beat people unless in self-defense. There was no self-defense here.
- ZincSaucier, on 03/14/2009, -1/+10about kids worshiping celebrities who brutalize their spouses?
- blackinthmiddle, on 03/14/2009, -0/+9The simple question to ask these kids is, what should Rihanna have done differently? I'm pretty damn shocked that this many kids think like this?
- inactive, on 03/14/2009, -0/+8Are you implying that somewhere it said that most teens blame her? Because it doesn't.
And I will not do what you told me to do, that would really depress me and make me hate the world - the sheer pain it would cause me to willingly listen to Chris Brown is not something I want to do. - lamiaconfitor, on 03/14/2009, -0/+8I'm not. This is why people don't ask teenagers for acvice about questions of morality and ethics. When you are a kid, you have some good views, when you are an adult you have some complicated views, but when you are a teen? forgettaboutit.
- Grazzit, on 03/14/2009, -4/+11So she didn't give him a STD?
- kaskoosek, on 03/14/2009, -2/+9This is what digg has turned into.
For shame. - portnoy, on 03/14/2009, -0/+7True, he is definitely no Charlie Brown.
- draculthemad, on 03/14/2009, -0/+7"fighting" may mean different things to different people. most would take to mean things short of physical violence, while including anything more.
Emotional arguments are normal, raising a hand to the other is very, very wrong. - nWnMusic, on 03/14/2009, -2/+8Is fighting a normal part of a relationship? I believe that is, or can be, a very harmful misconception. To disagree doesn't instantly mean you have to fight, does it? Isn't true love based on wanting the very best for the other? Fighting that person wouldn't aid that goal.
Maybe. - TotalHalibut, on 03/14/2009, -1/+7As nice as it would be so settle all disputes in a calm and rational manner, relationships are emotionally charged and it's nigh on impossible to avoid fighting some of the time. The mantra 'you hurt them because you love them' makes more sense than you might think.
That said, physically beating on somebody is not part of a normal relationship. - inactive, on 03/14/2009, -0/+6Whoosh
- factsahoy, on 03/14/2009, -0/+6Exactly. Nobody wants to actually take responsibility for their kids anymore, and that includes having "uncomfortable" conversations. Instead, they want all inconvenient people and situations to go away, like lesbians kissing at the ball park or a breast shown on TV. "What will we tell our children?" ask appalled onlookers.
TELL THEM THE TRUTH, DUMB-ASS, or they're the next to get beaten. - inactive, on 03/14/2009, -0/+5I don't believe you. If you honestly had never heard of these two, then what are you doing reading the comments list on a story about something that you should have no interest in?
- fprintf, on 03/14/2009, -4/+9I wouldn't blame the victim here, not having been there myself, but what did you do to get out? Assuming you weren't a minor and the abuse coming from a relative, why did you stay in an abusive relationship for 4 years? After the first time you were forced to have sex, or whipped with a vacuum cord why didn't you leave?
I just don't get why people stay. There are tons of kind, wonderful single people out in the world, pretty much enough for anyone. - hannibalhungry, on 03/14/2009, -0/+5As they should! Shame on Rihanna for battering poor chris browntown's sensitive hands with her mace-like skull
- Soofi, on 03/14/2009, -0/+5All these comments and no one noticed the cheezy sub-headline:
"The beat goes on".
What where they thinking? - inactive, on 03/14/2009, -0/+598% of all statistics are made up.
- kanojo1969, on 03/14/2009, -0/+5A lot of people think their relationship needs to be 'passionate' to be meaningful. Unfortunately they don't know what passion really is, and have never experienced it, and somehow end up thinking that screaming at each other or giving the odd slap to the face is some sort of passion. And therefore good.
There are 1000's of relationships portrayed on TV and in films where we are led to believe that a meaningful relationship needs to include violent disagreement, if only for the makeup sex.
In addition, most of us have real-life role-models who we try and copy, and they are probably setting terrible examples because they don't know any better either.
My first proper live-in girlfriend was one of these people who thought that relationships without fighting weren't worth having. It got to the point where I could tell that she was deliberately causing trouble just so we would fight, when what she really wanted was the makeup after the fight was over. Once I called her on this the relationship was basically over.
It's sad, but it's not new. - lamiaconfitor, on 03/14/2009, -2/+7Who knows, maybe this was his strategic career move? Trying to aquire that niche 'domestic violence market" is a definitively untested method...
/sarcasm - AlexGrant, on 03/14/2009, -0/+4Absolutely agree, especially disgusting examples of human beings like Rihanna and Kanye West who are apologetic of the whole thing "oh everyone makes mistakes, he just made a silly mistake that's all!"... and of course the actual guy doing the beatin
