    Sex with individuals under 15 is considered rape of children in Sweden nowadays to. Earlier sex with people under 15 wasn't considered legal* but it's not like anything would had happened unless someone decided to sue, which they probably wouldn't if it wasn't a rape but rather agreed upon.

    I guess that law changed because there shouldn't be any room for interpretation if the younger person claimed the sex was involuntarily.

    Now it's simply rape, regardless, so you're screwed.
    Sadly I assume this opens up for others to sue for rape of children even if the "children" had no problem whatsoever with the act.

    (* I don't know if it was illegal as such, regardless you could get in trouble for it somehow.)

    I.M.H.O. it's a poor solution but it is as it is.

    You do know your government is spying on internet actvitity in Skandinavia, and giving access to USA, right?

    Yes. And I don't care that much, though I would prefer to not be spied upon. But I assume most countries got their fair share of intelligence recognizance and why we share information with the US is most likely to get information shared in return. Which may keep us more safe and aware of the current situation.

    That's kinda _REAL_ defense. Not the kind which happen in Iraq and so on.

    You'd be surprised how much corruption is going on, even in countries like in Skandinavia. It's just not talked about very loudly, of course, that's the nature of it.

    I'm sure there is some, and I'm sure some of it gets up to the surface. Probably more within companies than within the government. But our people has "always" thought kinda good of and safe in the hands of the government, because so far it haven't hurt us much. The general swede is quite ok with socialism, caring for others, paying taxes. Though the winds somewhat blow in the opposite direction.

    Like a telephone here and a few hints there, about what this prosecutor "should" do. However, it is very clear where the strings are coming from, but even then, very hard to determine criminal intent, or traceability. Leaks like this however, can turn the tables, and expose the abuse of power, however "small" it is.

    Yeah, I hope so, and I like what they are doing. However I doubt he'd get killed or more heavily charged in Sweden just because he is who he is. If the US came up with some reason warrant/charge/.. and wanted him maybe they would had got him. I guess what comes up from that is the US responsibility though.

    Considering that she's accused him of purposefully breaking the condom after finding out that he was having sex with somebody else, I think she doesn't deserve a whole lot of respect.

    She figured it out, got upset, he broke it to be even worse?
    or:
    It broke, she figured it out, she got even more upset because she suddenly became aware of the risk of STDs?

    Which one of them?
    In the first case he's just a pig (expr.)
    In the second case no shit, but not much of a reason to charge him for rape.

    Honestly, a good suggestion is that if you don't want to be treated like trash, perhaps you ought not to act like trash.

    Ok, so he shouldn't be charged for or responsible for his actions because you share his view of how to treat ladies?

    Also why is she "trash" because she had sex with him but not he himself? He doesn't have just as much (maybe more? Who knows?) casual sex?

    Great ideas.

    "You have personally read and dealt with many documents which indicate that the countries you have angered routinely ignore their own rules when it suits their national interests."

    The question you should ask yourself is this: How often do you think that has happened _IN SWEDEN_?

    Sure some companies has sold weapons to questionable nations, and sure maybe the RIAA and MPAA pushed somewhat for the capture of TPB servers, and maybe Bodström is a fucking jerk.

    But beyond that? Personally I would assume our country is one of the countries with least corruption and things like this. I doubt the government/court would treat him different just because Team America world police says so.

    Sure our nation probably does its share of intelligence recognizance and diplomacy. But I doubt it's very juicy. You can probably pick up something but I'm not afraid as a citizen.

    Yeah, not much of an "investor" myself but I got a bunch of shares but from the beginning I wasn't supposed to buy them until closer to MeeGo release, and this was while I still thought it would get released in the beginning of 2011.

    But then some stupid bank recommended it raising price by quite a lot. So by stupid impulse I bought because I didn't wanted to buy at an even higher price later, stupid. The next day the new CEO stuff came out which would had been an awesome opportunity for sale but I didn't. Bought more like around three weeks ago when they where lower again but didn't sold while I had a profit then either and now they are even cheaper again :D

    But I don't want to get even more just in case.. I think. Because I don't trust they will ever become _TEH AWESOME_.

    Could have had one part which I would keep into the future and one part which I eventually swing-traded in case the price will keep on doing what it does now. If it would start to go up I would still had some and if it would had dropped down then I could just had bought more for the next movement upwards. Anyway, boring stock :D

    Sure MeeGo may work but on the other hand I wanted the price to drop enough because everything would be so much fail, which it is, but it's not as good now when I own them ;D

    And last I heard MeeGo 1.2 was supposed to have all applications and come by April so that mean phones then? Summer 2011? H2 2011?
