Any form of rape is bad and should be punished severely. I can be only be glad we at least have a conviction rate higher than Britain.

As for the honour killings, I don't have a sarcastic response to that, other than to sincerely state the active and constant efforts by government and religious leaders to halt it.

Horrific event, but not really a surprise. Alabama has historically been known as being an unstable and backwards area of the world, with pathetic law enforcement and a strong sexist society. To be honest, this is quite prevalent in America. It's unfortunate that life in the country is not easy for women, and being European doesn't make you a smaller target for abuses like this.

I would personally recommend economic sanctions on America until they can punish their rapists. However, it'll take something shocking as a famous foreign woman being raped by Americans to get the government off its ass.

Honestly at this point I seriously have to ask what the hell she was doing in America in the first place. I mean it's not like she is the first person to be raped or worse out there. And don't get me wrong. I am not blaming the victim here. All I am saying is that maybe if people stopped living there the impact on their economy would put some extra leverage on their government to grow up and step out of the middle ages. As small as that chance may be.

Why do people keep going to America, again? It's not like there's much to see there. A few sports stars, a big mountain. Everything else is a mid-modern first to third world jumble of slums and several shiny buildings. Not to mention all the rape and gun violence.

But perhaps one day these countries will finally become civilised. What do you say, NSG?

That's why he's using satire in this thread.

I'm not good with satire -_-

Thats why I wanted to be sure before I did anything and see if there was a joke.

I absolutely agree with you. America really needs to shape up it's standards, considering the danger to women in New York City versus the safety of New Delhi.

"The Delhi region had 495 murders in 2007, or 2.95 murders for every 100,000 people by the National Crime Records Bureau’s population estimates. In that same year, however, New York City had 5.94 murders per 100,000 people — and that was a year that New York City was named the safest big city in the United States. There’s a similar story for rape in 2007: 3.57 per 100,000 in New Delhi, 10.48 per 100,000 in New York."

It's really disheartening that a country with a rich culture and history like the United States suffers from such basic issues.

1. The Indian police are corrupt and the American police are attention whores.
2. 'The Delhi region'? You realize that northern New Jersey, the counties of Nassau and Suffolk, much of Connecticut, and a little bit of upstate New York are all part of the New York 'region', but not the City of New York, right?

Re: Child rapist avoids prison in Alabama yet again

Horrific event, but not really a surprise. Alabama has historically been known as being an unstable and backwards area of the world, with pathetic law enforcement and a strong sexist society. To be honest, this is quite prevalent in America. It's unfortunate that life in the country is not easy for women, and being European doesn't make you a smaller target for abuses like this.

I would personally recommend economic sanctions on America until they can punish their rapists. However, it'll take something shocking as a famous foreign woman being raped by Americans to get the government off its ass.

Honestly at this point I seriously have to ask what the hell she was doing in America in the first place. I mean it's not like she is the first person to be raped or worse out there. And don't get me wrong. I am not blaming the victim here. All I am saying is that maybe if people stopped living there the impact on their economy would put some extra leverage on their government to grow up and step out of the middle ages. As small as that chance may be.

Why do people keep going to America, again? It's not like there's much to see there. A few sports stars, a big mountain. Everything else is a mid-modern first to third world jumble of slums and several shiny buildings. Not to mention all the rape and gun violence.

But perhaps one day these countries will finally become civilised. What do you say, NSG?

You're clearly too full of hatred against Americans to see the REAL scandal here, so let me spell it out for you.

Criminal hires an attorney who is a childhood friend of the local judge. Judge gives his boyhood friend's client a slap on the wrist as punishment for a serious crime. Higher court overturns the sentence and remands it back to the judge. Judge spits in the face of the higher court and gives his boyhood friend's client a slightly different slap on the wrist.

The story here is NOT that America won't punish rape.

The story here is that a local judge has chosen to dispense with justice for the sake of a childhood friend and that the higher court can't bring him to heel.
