    The largest reason for the high US prison population is the sentencing time and lower tendency to give fines. So yes the police can be considered to be more lenient in general. And one of the main pillars of crime fighting is the focus on reform here in Sweden.

    Appearently the US had a normal prison population number until about 1975.

    A cell from a high security prison, the article is actually unrelated to the cellhttp://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article6703550.ab. The article is about a guy complaining that he's too fat to sit his 1 month prison time for drunken driving btw.

    I'm curious, how many blondes are it in the area? Since you'll need to be one to get a decent shot on getting blond babies (or at least blond one blond ancestor for yourself).

    Funny that you're considering engaging in a behavior that spreads crime in this thread... That is unless your doing it with the same girl, then it's normal. Birth out of wedlock haven't been eyebrow rising since the seventies.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    british prisons seem like a doddle in comparison to the more 'hardcore' US experience.

    It's quite nice here actually, not too hot this time of year either. I'm sure you'd love it.

    He probably told him "If you do x, I'll eat your heart out!" and he was a man of his words...

    People always need some sort of narrative to distance themselves from persons who do such things as we like to think of courselves as unable of undertaking such an activity.
