    That's why it's there.

    But things like that happen all the time.

    Same goes for people seeing scenes such as the calves scenes in http://www.zenpawn.com/vegblog/2008/06/16/30-days-vegan-morgan-spurlock-rocks/

    It's for real, people dislike it, but well, do they change? Nah, hopefully the world will change without them doing anything. Someone else should fix it ..

    On the other hand chances of getting convicted for rape at all, even if it may have been true, is rather small (unless the girl is younger than 15 atleast.)

    And if you touch, pet, penetrate or whatever someone who says "No" you're a retard. If you're drunk you may just be a retard while drunk, but still. If it goes as far as petting and she's been fairly clear that she don't want to I think you deserve to get the rape stamp.

    So how do you explain the larger number of reported rapes in Sweden then?

    They are all made by black people (or atleast immigrants.)

    And hence they loose the opportunity. Not commiting the rape but not commiting it, so to speak.

    (Moderate it flamebait or call it racism or what you want, I think the fact was that 90% of them where black though. I assume relationship rapes are massively under-represented though. May have been some other crime, and it was a book title, but whatever.)

    I assume one reason for the high numbers is the very equal society with strong feminism and what-not. As in that maybe there's not more rapes over here but more women reporting them. Which ought to be a good thing.

    You should be aware that the two women knew each other, and went to the police together. They claim that they were molested by Assange independently in two different cities, with a few days between, without one of them thinking to warn the other.

    4chan had their own coverage:

    Think about this. The guy rapes TWO different women in the same week in different towns while on a busy business trip? In Sweden, where you can literally get laid by tripping on a bitch? This is laughable, especially since the guy is probably gay. Noe would be a great time to come out of the closet, if he is.

    If any of you have ever been in a business trip, you know that rape is the last thing on your mind. Sex, maybe, but you're way too out of your comfort zone to so something like that. Plus, the guy doesn't seem to have the most violent personality. Just look at his interviews.

    The big question is whether this is a setup or just two lying bitches. However, since it would be a FUCKING HUGE coincidence that two women would make the same lie about the same guy in the span of a week, and since the precence of two accusers seems to confirm guilt in the eyes of most people, a centrally organizes conspiracy actually passes the muster of occhams razor more than any other theory, including the one that he actually raped the girls.

    Just wait until all the other hundred of thousands of girls report the same story!

    UK/GB likes US.

    And they pick up the work when no-one else want to start.

    It would be hard to argue that Swedish economy or the average Swede got things better than the average American to I suppose. Though their poorest most likely got it worse than ours. Todays youth in Sweden are more "rightish" though, though our right is very "leftish" from an American view.

    I don't know if they are cheaper, couldn't find anything for as low as someones mentioned 3 $.

    On the other hand they offer affiliates and free shipping world-wide even for single cheap items and shipping got to cost them something.

    Anyway I live in Sweden so we've got no Wal-Mart and probably not something just as cheap/big either. DealExtreme got cheap screen protectors, DS flash-carts and other accessories, batteries, card readers and such and with free shipping I rather buy there than here. Isn't it weird? :D

    I like them thought some products is weird. For instance they list many cables as "female-to-male", for instance "female-to-male hdmi cable", but then the actual came got female and male parts. So it's more of a male to male cable as far as conversion goes :)
    And of course some items are genuine crap or less good than others / don't have the best price in the world. But there's not much they can do about it if they didn't knew about it.

    I don't know, currently I cook 1.7 liter of water using an electric water boiler, throw in the tea (3 tbs for the earl grey, 3.5 for something with more flavoring), shake it and poor it out into a plastic container after 5 minutes or 15 if I forget about it :D

    I don't know about the quality, all I know is that it taste much better, which is enough for me =P

    I don't use sugar in my tea and in general Lipton has very weird flavors which take over / taste bad / whatever.

    Now then I think about it I started to wonder whatever I've had some regular earl grey from them, they have the russian one.

    Anyhow, doesn't matter much. The "Söder te", Earl Grey and Lady grey taste better than some others "Södergårdste", Earl grey and Russian earl grey. Now Lipton has added som small black boxes which supposedly is more premium but I doubt they taste better and they cost three times as much per weight as the Twinings I prefer so ...

    Over here in Sweden we've also got a brand called Kobbs which I think is an old Swedish importer so probably only here. I prefer Twinings earl grey over theirs to and they got some weird flavors but in general I think it's quite ok and would rate it above the weird and synthetically tasting Lipton.

    Maybe Lipton wins the "smell the packaging"-race :)

    Imho it's not a fact that the lose tea stores sell better (tasting) teas either. They are definitely more expensive though.

    But I think it's more obvious that you can taste the difference of flavored teas vs doing the same of various roasts of coffee, various kinds, various country origins of the tea leaves and so on.

    I don't use tea bags simply because my cup requires 2 and I get four cups with my meal so it would just be stupid.

    But the DAC of the CD-player is out of question as long as you use digital interconnects so ..

    For SPDIF I meant rather that I've used regular RCA stereo-interconnects (using just one of the channels) instead of a more "dedicated" cable, and wonder if any electrical properties of the "wrong" cable could make the signal bounce at the end or something such. And if that would ever be bad enough to actually be able to destroy the data sent. But maybe they use the same resistance cables and such to? Or wasn't there such an effect for cables?
