    No, we shouldn't just ignore this.

    Even if the BNP is an extreme group akin to the Klan, statements like this -- from a group that does have followers, few as they might be -- just show you that these attitudes still exists, even in places like Britain that are "enlightened" and "civilized."

    To add a personal anecdote, I knew a guy (who I thought was rather nice and reasonable) who, when a topic rape came up, said, "I don't know why women don't just sit back and enjoy it."

    I'll leave my reaction to your imagination.
