    Far too skinny. Not to mention many of them are pretty young. Though cold will make those nipples stand at attention!

    Funnily enough, I'd consider judo or wrestling. Imagine women, even if they don't look all that great, sweating, grappling and wrestling.
    Swimming would probably be best discipline though.

    But these are both from summer olympics.

    While it drives massive sales of consumer goods, but it also drives interest in sports, even though most just watch them and forget about it. It's especially important for young impressionable children, who may pick up sportsmen and women as their idols instead of whatever singer or model or actor mass media sells them. And in effort to be like their idol, instead of doing massively stupid shit that these idols are known to do, they might actually pick up sports instead.

    I would argue that with the current health situation in the West, anything that drives obesity down is going to be a net positive. We are simply losing far too many good people to it.

    I was answering your claim that "rape is rape and BDSM practitioners are acutely aware of that" ignoring the fact that these cases have nothing to do with BDSM practitioners but are typically about two people who don't know one another before meeting for drinks that day. Not trying to argue some sort of massive collective anti rape conspiracy.

    Effectively I'm hitting at the point that people who do this have not a faintest clue how the whole BDSM safeguard mechanism against pushing too far (safe words, proper gear, etc) works. That's not their intent to engage in that stuff in the first place, they're going for a quick thrill on both ends, and there's a fact that woman will always have a weapon to wield after the case if she's not satisfied. And as any psychologist who had to work with divorce will tell you, women tend to be significantly more emotional and vindictive in cases of things not going as they would want it in their relationships.

    Difference being that Israel is a state in perpetual war and under perpetual siege as well as perpetual occupier, while Swiss military industry focused mainly on firearms rather than high tech equipment - it's their speciality and they are very good at it. Sweden on the other hand exports cutting edge high tech, such as Gen 4.5 fighter aircraft equipped with AESA radars.

    All while Sweden is not under any kind of military threat and hasn't been for a long time. And its own military is in complete shambles as has been rather openly admitted recently, which comes for a reason - they are secured by friendly Norway from north and west, friendly Finland from east and friendly Denmark from south. They have no reason to spend on it.

    Vast majority of their military technology is export oriented, which is very unusual for a country that hasn't been under any significant threat of war in a long time and has no real strategic military threats on horizon. To continue to function they need good relations with major component suppliers, main one being US. It has been stipulated that one reason for massive capitulation of Sweden on IP rights front to US has been US threat to block sales and licenses of AESA radar components to Saab (which would render Gripen largely unsellable).

    On the other hand, I have done network maintenance work for a major ISP. It's highly technical work. It's also work that requires understanding of more than just technical side of it. People like you never get that kind of work, because they are incapable of performing it - even if they are perfect on the technical side, they utterly fail the test of understanding the human side of the issue. As you have shown very clearly in your last post.

    Because US would be stupid to provide one. And US isn't stupid.

    P.S. Swedish and Finnish legal systems are very similar - ours was built on theirs and we have a very similar cultural background. The fact is that while the judges have significant amount of weight in our systems as to how the sentencing will go. They are the legal experts after all.

    Read the facts of the case. They are freely available. It's not "me" who is "not making any sense" but the woman who came to accuse Assange. Those are HER claims.

    That's why the first prosecutor, who didn't have history of radical feminism threw the case out until someone (likely in intelligence) noticed the case and figured out it could be used against Assange.

    P.S. I have no idea about myths in Turkey. I just happen to live next door and it's common knowledge here in Finland that when you bang swedish girls on the Turku-Stockholm minicruises, you may get accused of rape a few weeks later. It rarely amounts to anything though.

    And I do mean bang. That's what you do on those cruises. That and drink. There's a saying around here that amounts to "what happens on minicruise stays on minicruise). That also helps when one of them has a husband or boyfriend gets all jealous about her banging other men on the cruise and she claims rape. Police in Sweden usually treats those "late claims" with all the seriousness they deserve.

    Let me toss a scenario for you:

    Man and woman meet over drinks. They get drunk, and woman shares a fairly standard thing - she has a rape fantasy and she's drunk enough to suggest it. Guy agrees. They do the whole thing.

    It turns out to be a whole lot worse than what paperback novels aimed at women portrait the act as. Woman regrets the act and goes to the police. Bam, rape charges.

    Now if you take in account just how many paperback novels featuring soft rape fantasy there are aimed at women and just how well they sell, as well as drinking culture among women in Sweden and known lack of inhibitions that it produces, you're suddenly faced with a choice of sending an innocent man to prison just because he didn't compare with men from paperback novels.

    And if you do that, you may as well start sending women to jail because they don't match to porn stars in bed either.

    Sweden has a long history dating all the way back to WW2 on selling out people to foreign powers in exchange for better relations, technology licenses and so on.

Even in worst case scenario where judge also happens to be extremist feminist and actually agrees with insanity that is the case, he's extremely unlikely to get jail simply due to legal constraints on punishments.

    Actually he's being accused of sleeping with two women without telling them.

    Pretty much everything else is window dressing. The case has all the feature of moden Swedish feminism, ranging from giving university lectures on "how to use rape accusations to put your ex-boyfriend in jail" to saving used condoms for a week and then bringing that used condom to police as evidence of man not using a condom.
