[QUOTE="Adamski, post: 3033448, member: 107209"] Quite interesting article indeed. There was some fine points but I wouldn't buy all of it. There was explanations on how differences in cultures may cause rapes. That only explains things, it doesn't make it any less wronger, or rapist less evil.. And I'm bit skeptical that foreigners wouldn't rape their relatives too. BTW, in Thailand, rape in marriage became crime this year, so perhaps Finland is actually advanced country, here rape in marriage became crime in year 1994.. It seems kinda late, but don't know how it is on other countries.. If I recall it right, on Turkey was such law that rapist must marry his victim. Well, we have same kind of phenomenon. I would call it result of excessive drinking. Seriously, in cultures where there exists barbaric practices like killing a victim of rape it seems more likely that rapists themselves are not considered so much of a criminal, so although barbaric practices are rare, it might still be that rapists still don't get any punishment. Yeah, I admit that this is bit speculative point. Forumtalk is hard to use as evidence, there are better sources in such topics, but tracking of such sources is kind of laborius when there are many long threads and dead links..

I feel that race is a meaningful concept, even if it isn't right word for it. It still describes pretty well how different "races" look like.
