And a joung orthadox Jew pulled this off. Just like a lunatic pulled his stunt on Kennedy. Wow, those free-lance killers do change history. Or not? Remember in the election campaign, HRC warned BHO about the Kennedy case?

What do you say, dccafe, to someone whose entire "Chinese" vocabulary consists of "Diu Nei Lo Mo"?
And in his mind he thinks he is defending "La Raza" by handing it out left and right as proof of his "patriotism" ...
It's probably karma for "La Raza" as the "Hindoos" would think.
And I just feel sorry for his mother.

My thirteen year old first cousin lives in Beijing and travels all over the city by herself, her parents will not let her do that in her own home city in France or when she visits me.
I visited India twice, once Mumbai and later Bangalore and I don’t think Indian cities are as safe as Beijing but not more dangerous than most European or American cities. Of course, if you go looking for trouble, trouble will find you.

事实证明：二鬼子是最无耻，最下贱的生物。前苏联的乌克兰解放军、哥萨克骑兵团、中国的河北自治军都充分证明了这一点。
各国公民均有善恶，但二鬼子必定是人渣。
对于二鬼子的话，我不予理睬。

Rape, blame and the tourism game | Eric Randolph | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk
When I was talking to a well-established journalist friend in Mumbai the other day, he ran through what stories one might expect from different regions in India. Mumbai was good for business stories; Delhi for political and military goings-on; the northeast for insurgencies and corruption. As for Goa, there were rape stories and ... he paused ... "No, that's it. Goa is rape stories.
Despite the air of facetiousness, he was not joking, and the Goan government is acutely aware of this emerging image crisis. There is the unresolved murder of UK schoolgirl Scarlett Keeling in February 2008, the alleged rape of a 14-year-old German girl in October 2008, and in the last month the claims by a 25-year-old Russian woman that she was raped by a well-known politician.
For a state so dependent on tourism, these stories are bad for business. Earlier this month, the state tourism minister voiced his fears that Goa may soon "gain a reputation as the rape capital of India", with a police force that is "either grossly incompetent or influenced by other factors".
Of course, three incidents do not create a "rape capital" in a country that records more than 20,000 rapes a year (only a fraction of the real number), but in the tourism game, perceptions are everything.
If the minister had hoped his words would stir his fellow officers to action, he had not counted on the actions of one Goa politician, Shantaram Naik, who stood up before India's upper house in Delhi on 15 December to declare that cases in which women hang around with strangers after midnight "are to be treated on different footings". In doing so, Naik triggered an international row, with the Russian consulate writing a stinging letter of rebuke to the Indian government and threatening a curfew for its citizens in Goa.
Naik's suggestion that the victim is somehow to blame is depressingly familiar, the most famous example being the comments by Australia's most senior Muslim cleric in 2006 when he compared rape victims to "uncovered meat" that young men could not help but sexually assault. Such attitudes are embedded in legal systems in Iran, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, where rape victims risk adultery charges if they come forward, and at a less conspicuous level the world over as the residue of long-established structures of patriarchal domination.
Despite their familiarity, it is always worth deconstructing such attitudes afresh. As the philosopher Slavoj Zizek argues in his recent book, Violence, such reasoning implies that men are entirely helpless in the face of sexual temptation and cannot be blamed for their ravenous instincts. Inadvertently, this gives far too much credit to western society by suggesting that its open attitudes to female eroticism are only made possible by the development of hitherto unknown levels of restraint, that western men have somehow evolved past the primitive state of males in more conservative societies. Otherwise, the nightclubs of Paris and London and New York would be home to apocalyptic scenes of endless, unstoppable sexual assaults.
In reality, the urge to rape is not some essential characteristic of the male ego. The vast majority of cases happen between people who already know each other, and are the result of complex dynamics within those personal relationships, coloured by embedded, but changeable, cultural structures and triggered by individual humiliations, insecurities and social pressure. Setting aside cases when rape is used as an instrument of war or ethnic cleansing, rape tends to be the most intensely personal of crimes.
That subjective core to the act is what permits a manipulation of the facts by the accused, and yet there is also a core of the incident the trauma experienced by the victim that is purely objective. The fraught task for the judicial system is to unpick the subjective account of the specific circumstances of a case from the objective trauma felt by the victim.
That Naik or others feel this highly delicate task can be pre-judged by reference to general cultural trends is not just an act of ignorance, but one which seeks to render the victim's trauma irrelevant. There is a wider evil in Naik's words, however, in his willingness to instrumentalise these incidents for his own agenda, to transform something intensely private into something political.
The message that seeps in between the lines of his ludicrous comments is a mantra increasingly heard from populists across India one of suspicion towards outsiders, of cultures under threat, of the need to harden ethnic and linguistic boundaries.
Such messages find particularly fertile ground in times of uncertainty. Long an unspoiled hippie paradise, over the last two decades Goa has seen large-scale development along its coastline, attracting increasing numbers of workers from India's poorer states. As with tourist hubs the world over, outside influences breed tensions. Amid a global downturn, which has led to half-empty hotels in peak season, these tensions rise to the surface in the form of groups such as the Movement for a Special Status, formed in 2008 to call for a limit on the number of internal migrants to the state.
Such groups reflect a realisation that tourism has made the state vulnerable, fostering corrupt collusion between developers and powerbrokers that threatens Goa's natural beauty and risks creating a level of supply that tourist demand cannot always meet. Populist politicians exploit these uncertainties by giving the impression that outside cultures and alien values are somehow damaging Goa's reputation.
It is in this context that the rape of a girl can be transformed into the rape of a state. Naik tapped into a vein of concern about Goa's future that represented both a heartless disregard for the victims and an archetypal political sleight of hand. He was not speaking to parliament, still less the international community; he was speaking to the constituency back home, but in doing so he gave a platform to deeply unhealthy views on sexual assault. Through such naked politicking are ignorance and bigotry perpetuated.

American Renaissance News: Rape Cases Rattle India?s Tourism Industry
Things could not be worse for the Indian tourism industry. Recent incidents of rape and sexual molestation or harassment of visiting foreign women have had an impact on the tourist inflow.
Seven cases were reported in the first month of the year.
A Swedish teenage was molested at a New Years Eve party at Kochi in Kerala state, while a number of tourists were also heckled. Three foreign women reported sexual harassment in Goa. Also in Goa, two British women claimed to have been sexually assaulted by the owner of a resort.
The Indian government called the incidents isolated, but a recent BBC report on one of the British women raped in Goa stated, She is just one victim among thousands. The numbers are horrifying. On average across India there are 53 rapes a day, and recently released government statistics suggest that it is the fastest growing crime in the country.
While the issue may be affecting industry revenues, it has also brought out the fact that Indian policing has virtually collapsed. Women tourists are no longer safe in the country.
The impact of the incidents abroad has been bad. The American and British governments have warned women not to go to India for their summer break.
Crime statistics for 2006, released by the Home Ministrys National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), show that 18 women are victims of crime every hour. The number of rapes a day has increased nearly 700 per cent since 1971, when such cases were first recorded by the NCRB. The number has grown from 7 to 53 rape cases per day.
Several sexual attacks have been reported in Rajasthan, the jewel of Indian tourism. It is one destination where culture speaks for itself and where the spirit of India is evident in its people, ambience and buildings.
With a record arrival in 2005-06 of more than 1.2 million foreign tourists and 17 million domestic tourists, Rajasthan has been one of the most popular destinations for tourists, especially those from France, Britain, Germany, the US, Italy, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Japan and Bangladesh.
Today Rajasthan is the tourist-rape capital of India. Just before Christmas, an American national was molested in Pushkar and a British journalist was raped in Udaipur. Earlier, a French woman was raped, also in Pushkar. In 2005 in Rajasthan, a German tourist was raped by an auto-rickshaw driver and his accomplice in Jodhpur.
Rajasthan has always been considered a very peaceful state, but the recent rape and molestation cases have been affecting its image, a tourism department official admitted recently.
There have been other incidents of rape elsewhere in India. Tourism department officials are concerned, but things may have gotten out of hand. A tourism department official was recently quoted saying, The reports could deter potential visitors to the country. We have asked states to report to us what happened in these incidents.
Travel guidebooks have started advising women traveling to India to wear loose, long clothes to avoid unwelcome attention.
India attracts around 5 million tourists every year. As a face-saving exercise the tourism industry plans to create complaint centers and dedicated phone numbers for tourist security in all the major tourist destinations. The tourism ministry has decided to hire retired defense personnel for security and to deploy police in the top 10 destinations frequented by foreign travelers. But whether these actions will help remains to be seen.

lol
Here's a piece of advice for you, if you have not heard of something, then going by the quality of your posts, it probably exists. Keep an open mind instead of talking though your hat all the while. Accept that you don't know much and be humble
Rapes (per capita) by country. Definition, graph and map.
And rape rate can ONLY be compared per capita to know how 'safe' a place is otherwise in pure numbers how will you compare rape numbers in china with rape numbers of maldives given the respective sizes of the two nations? Read that slowly and you will get it. This is n e w info, process slowly.
lol and don't forget to wear your chastity belt lol
