  • Oh and just fyi, that list is of "reported" rapes. Its been conclusively shiwn now for decades that the vast majority of rapes and sexual assaults go unreported or take decades....as we see now. Those reports that are so old that no meaningful trial can come of it are not reported. 

    So michigans spot on that list could be lower or they could be higher, we don't know. My reasonable take on this is that from state to state there are actually prob no meaningful differences in the "actual" incidence of rape.....i think that list shows more the womens proclivity to come forward

  • Of course we were talking about stereotypes and that's one way they get started. And the other 49 states would be out of the same factors has Michigan if it's your intention to defend the state up north

    Ok then to make that argument you have to present some sort of reasoning.  According to the FBI, culture, economics, demographics, climate, and law enforcement capabilities are the factors to consider.

     What in the he// would make a woman from Alaska almost 7x more likely to report rape then someone from New Jersey?  I was going to go with Alaska has a rape problem and New Jersey has a more promiscuous culture, but what do I know?  Apparently Jersey girls are just too fragile and scared to come forward compared to those vulnerable and isolated Alaskan women.  Makes perfect sense.  Not really.

    Oh uh speaking of proclivity, why are you standing up for one of Woody's stupider arguments?  There is not one shred of evidence that suggests either of you know what your talking about on this subject based on what has been stated to this point.

    Damn Texas has the 3rd lowest % of age 65 and up. I think they all live near me because the Sun City crowd infests the local grocery store. Bunch of old senile bad drivers that even run you over with their grocery carts.😆

    You know what the Sun City residents call it? God's Waiting Room.😛

    We hear EMS going in and out of there all the time, so I call it the Sunset City Transportation Authority.😄

    Well there is a greater exposure to old fogies medical needs here by medical teams, so there is that advantage for us 70+ers.😁

    And there are now tons of nursing home/assisted living facilities up and down the main road from Sun City on in to old main street. Glad we both have long term care policies so the kids aren't entirely robbed of their inheritance.

    I think I might have lost track of what we disagree about or don't disagree about.

    We've had Medicare since the 60s. But if you want to be cold hearted about it we could be like the Dutch and just kick our own bucket if leaving a chunk of dough to the kids is the important thing.

    Personally I'm on the screw the kids train.😉
