I mean, if people understood why that is, that would be great. It's because Swedish rape laws are much looser and consider things that might not be severe enough to be prosecuted as rape in other places. Also, Sweden considers each individual insertion to be a separate rape, which drives up the number of rapes there because of the way they count them.


Sweden in general is just a shit country. Nice people, but government and that culture are just killing my swedish love.

I find it mildly amusing that they aren't using a ranked-choice poll between different voting systems to decide.

Okay, I know you're probably joking, but its really not funny.

Any potentially misleading information about voting is unacceptable.

Oklahoma: State Question 776 would amend the state constitution, guaranteeing the state has the power to execute and choose the method of execution.

Go Prop 62. Prop 66 would be a poor consolation prize.

That one's a reference to Trump getting the date of the election wrong earlier in the campaign.

Whatever happens, this may probably inspire me to change careers to get to the bottom of all these theories and the credibility of them.

As in all those 9/11 or 7/7 or 3/11 inside job claims.

Or all those claims about the war on cash.

Or claim after claim after claim after claim after claim* about WWIII and economic collapses, which never seem to end.

How would this account for the rapid rise in rape rate in the last 15 years?

Assuming a rape consists of more than one "pump", such as it were, you would then end up with numerically higher amounts of rape per engagement. Driving up the total of reported rapes through statistical "analysis".

However, this not being the point of the thread, we'll just have to assume that no matter who is elected in the US it is unlikely that they will adopt Sweden's model.

Just got back from the polling stations, was there for 6 hours, gonna go back at 3. Anyways, huge turnout amongst senior and older citizens, good for Trump. Also surprisingly a lot more support for Trump amongst women, from what I've seen.

Never spend money on Trump.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.
