The porkmaking machine that the unions demanded, had long since been sold off to America, if you want that kind of pork, you'll have to move to America, because they own the Empire now.

It's the result of an extremely repressive culture let loose upon the world. If you'd never seen a woman's knees before, then were suddenly surrounded by lingerie ads, you'd be a 14-year old again, with less schooling and social engineering. Similar things happened with the end of Victorian culture, and the Puritan ideals in the West. Also, people from warzones have a very, very different idea of morality.Zlaxer wrote:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/2709224/t ... in-sweden/
Not much needs to be said....I just don't understand why the durk-durks think this is acceptable behaviorIt's all too common for it to be just a few "bad apples."

It's still a horrific crime, but it's not part of their religion, other than the repression that created that twisted psyche in the first place. I would think that we don't have to actually defend the idea that "most Muslims aren't rapists", but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
All that said, if your rape lasts 3 or more hours, please consult a physician.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... 59826.htmlHarrowing images have emerged of an Indonesian woman crying and burying her head in her hands after being caned by a religious officer for breaching Sharia law.
The woman is believed to be from the city of Banda Aceh in the Aceh region on the island of Sumatra. It is the only place in the world’s most populated Muslim-majority country, where Sharia law is imposed.
The woman was canned 26 times on a stage and in front of a crowd of people. Her crime was spending time in close proximity with a man, who is not her husband.
She was also alleged to have had sex outside marriage.
Pictures of a man being canned afterwards suggest her alleged partner was also publicly flogged.
Since the Aceh region gained special autonomy from the Indonesian authorities in 2001, it began to impose Sharia law.
People can face floggings for a range of offences including gambling, drinking alcohol, gay sex or any sexual relationship outside marriage.
She was clearly asking for it.Her crime was spending time in close proximity with a man, who is not her husband.
You guys don't even have the will power to uphold free speech. What makes you think you won't bend the knee to sharia law when/if you manage to take in enough Muslims?DrYouth wrote:Sharia law... bad
