Truth, but it's three more key presses when I can just click the bookmark under the address bar instead of clicking the address bar. Takes you three times longer!

People redefine capitalism every time it suits the rich folk, why can't we redefine communism too?

If it's any slight consolation whatsoever, the Bible quotes being used as evidence was just from the concurring opinion (that came to the same conclusions for other reasons from the majority), written by the chief justice of that court.

Schools I've worked at have all had analog clocks for all their time pieces, unless a particular teacher brought their own. Or the clocks on computers, but those weren't always consistently reliable.

I haven't played it, I've only experienced it through essays. I think it's because it took a look at war and such from a pretty different perspective than other shooters had before, and examined the messier psychological aspects of it in a way that incorporated traditional shooter gameplay as hadn't been done before?

I think it kinda falls into the same sort of category as citizen Kane. Important for what it did when it did it, but not really good by modern standards.

Yeah, that kind of sounds like my point. The us number is inflated by all the groping and flashing or whatever, and the India number is heavily deflated by only counting what gets reported and recorded as rape.

Not to reduce the impact sexual assault has every time it occurs, but I'm assuming that USA number isn't cited as rape for a reason, especially since the source does use the word rape further down. Perhaps that explains the disparity?

Experts say that a woman is raped in India every 16 minutes.

On the one hand, there's a lot of people in India.

On the other hand... Yikes.
