Guess what happens to women who are raped in Saudi Arabia? They get the consolation of a flogging. And Japanese media, primarily anime and manga, have a huge market for rape erotic fiction.

I happen to live in Chicago, IL, one of the cities in the USA with a high murder rate. I know very well how many people die from violence. It's almost every day that I open up the Chicago Tribute online and read another story about someone murdered between the day before and the morning at hand.
But this thread isn't about the inadequacies of the USA, is it? No, again, it's about paying tribute to those who lost their lives on September 11th, 2001 and due to it. But, what you're doing is downsizing the effect that September 11th, 2001 had on the world, and you're smearing the country that was attacked by citing a rape statistic. What exactly is your problem, mate?
