Those statistics are meaningless when taken in the context of the following politicians and athletes. 1) Clinton Monday, Oct. 13, 2003 'Clinton's Women' Wanted to Be Molested, Columnist Says Mary Jo Melone, a columnist for the left-wing St. Petersburg Times, says it's impossible to compare Bill Clinton the rapist to Arnold Schwarzenegger the groper because "Clinton's women wanted him." In a hysterical 627-word tantrum denouncing the male and female voters who "elected a serial groper," Melone rages, "Whatever were they thinking?" As the campaign ended, we heard Schwarzenegger compared to the illustrious and sexually industrious Bill Clinton. You know what followed. If Clinton could be forgiven, why not Schwarzenegger? There was a difference, if not in their conduct than in their choices. Clinton's women wanted him. Will Melone have the nerve to break her exciting news flash to Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Kimberly Moore, Chrystine Zercher ... newsmax.com 2) JFK Also, Mr. Wolfe neglects to explain something about the day of the murder. Did Dr. Greenson push that needle into her chest with the intent to kill her? Maybe he was unaware of the drug that Bobby Kennedy and intelligence agent James Hamilton had given her a short time earlier. Maybe Dr. Greenson was trying to resuscitate Marilyn, and his needle hit the wrong place. We don't read about him using needles in other parts of this book or in any other Marilyn book. Maybe he was your typical 1960s psychoanalyst who spent 99 percent of his practice talking with patients and giving them pills, which they voluntarily swallowed. So the cause of Marilyn's death could be the homicidal dose given by RFK and Mr. Hamilton complicated by the clumsy resuscitation effort of Greenson. Mr. Wolfe doesn't explain how or if Greenson allied himself with the Kennedys before the moment of death. All we get is an alliance that started immediately after the death. True, an LAPD officer stopped their car for speeding as they sped away from Marilyn's house that night. electronics-department.com 3) Kobe Bryant - get your "Free Kobe" tank top here So everyone who thinks Kobe cannot get a fair trial here that is far from the truth. People want to know the truth and so far Katie has not been honest about some things. I am sad that someone could possibly make something like this up and ruin an innocent mans life. kobetimes.com

Now that is an interesting chart. Particularly when one compares the bottom 20 countries to the top 20. Turkey and Tunisia, both liberal Muslim countries (one from ME the other from North Africa) have 10x lower rape rates than US and 30x less than Canada! The numbers are even more interesting when you look at murder rates. Turkey doesn't even make it to the list and Tunisia is in the bottom 10.

"look what I found :-)" LOL!! Yeah! Saudi Arabia has 0 per 1000 murders, 0 per 1000 manslaughters, 0 per 1000 frauds, 0 per 1000 burglaries, and 0 per 1000 rapes! I am really impressed! It must be the religion! Of course in these open societies of the Middle East we can get accurate information about the wonderful way of life! It is because of this absence of crime that the Tourism Industry is really going nutso trying to fill the incredible travel demand for people trying to book their vacations over there! That whole Middle East is struggling to meet the demands of heavy tourism as the rest of the world tries to get a little of what they got!
