You still didn't answer my question.
You put Nordic countries up as advanced cultures with no qualifiers. Seems a tad bit racist to me, considering the U.S. is so mixed and that's never going to change going forward.

What you are suggesting sounds racist, designs.
Nordic supremacy, and all. Is that where you're going? -

Simple.
They do not share the same demographics of the U.S. -

And… The perp was recently released from prison, after numerous prior arrests.
The Long Island native, who now lives in Gwinnett County, was released from the Gwinnett jail in late August after serving six months for simple battery and three counts of probation violation.
Slater has six other arrests in Gwinnett dating back to 2008, according to jail records.

The very first time I was called up for jury duty, it was for a home invasion. I was familiar with the case because it took place in the town where I worked. The resident was able to free herself and give a description of the getaway car. A high-speed chase ensued just as I was leaving for my evening commute, and it was total madness. This was 5 minutes over the GW bridge in one of the mostly densely populated areas on planet earth.
I was rejected as juror because I had a family member who was a superior officer in law enforcement. I continued to follow the case in the papers with interest. Home invasion, high-speed chase which put a lot of innocent people in harm's way. The media made it out like the police were foolish to pursue and apprehend the perp, who, BTW, was an illegal crimmigrant from a Communist nation where the populace was de-armed decades ago.
You know, one of those Utopian places where violent acts supposedly never happen. Not like *their* gubbermint-owned media doesn't suppress free speech, human rights, or deny ingrained cultural violence resulting from oppression.
Anyway, it came out in later in court that the piece-of-shit perp didn't just break into the home to steal their stuff, he tied grandma to a chair, and raped her 11-year-old granddaughter right in front of her on the living room rug.
Most home invasion rapes are never reported in the news, to protect the victims, especially when minors are involved. There are more than enough instances of home invaders maiming/torturing/killing family pets just for the sheer pleasure of it, too.
The media would have us believe these lovelies just knock on random doors asking to borrow a cuppa' sugar to bake a birthday cake while wielding a frikkin' crowbar. Should the resident just sit back and say, "Please, have a go at my babies, too" ? -

We're tentative about rewarding the NHL with our hard-earned dollars when we've just as easily attended excellent concerts instead throughout their troubles. Simply tired of being taking for granted.
What really pi$$es me off, is all the *other* jobs that were affected for months on end. The workers who serve food, pour beer, clean the restrooms, parking attendants, security, etc. They have to make a living off these games as well, and nobody gave a damn if they could eat or make rent in the meantime.
Epic fail on that part, and we fans have to suck it up, paying out extra welfare and food stamps to people who work terrifically hard for low wages to begin with. My heart really goes out to them for making every game experience run so well as it does, no matter who is playing or who wins.
Still… The little hockey devil in me can't wait to pump my fist in the air and shake my a$$ to this again:

He was given a long garment of skin (this vessel that he passed on to his progeny) that trapped the sin and death into IT.
tec, please explain something. From the Genesis story, Eve was supposedly created from one of Adam's ribs. He would have had a bone/skeletal structure.
So they were just skeletal creatures with no external skin "garments" at all? What kept their internal organs intact?
And by this reasoning, skinning a modern-day human alive would un-trap the sin and death inside of it?Had Adam not been given the garment that trapped death in it;
I still don't understand. A physical skin "garment" similar to the animal life "created" before them, or a figurative one?

U.K. JW Pedophile -- Sentenced !
by Rabbit informer teacher jailed for trying to abduct girl in holywellmar 12 2009 by our correspondent, western mail.
a former teacher, businessman and senior jehovahs witness who tried to abduct a five-year-old was yesterday jailed for six years.. robert edward bill, 54, was told by a judge that he was still in denial about his predatory interest in young children despite a series of convictions.. he has been found guilty at separate trials of the attempted abduction of the girl in holywell two years ago, of indecently assaulting a seven-year-old 10 years ago, and of possessing 730 pornographic images of children.. prosecuting at caernarfon crown court, simon medland described how the girl had been returning home from a playground when bill, for malign purposes, drew up in his car and asked: have you seen a cat?.
by chance the girls uncle arrived at the scene at that moment and her mother, who had been watching from a window, ran to her.. mr medland said bill of the roe, st asaph, denbighshire, had been driving slowly around areas where he was likely to come into contact with children that same day.

UPDATE:
Why was he allowed into Spain?

EXCLUSIVE by Frances LeateURGENT questions are being asked why a dangerous sex offender who preyed on young girls was allowed to come to Spain and allegedly re-offend.
Spanish police have been searching for Robert Edward Bill, from Wales, since November 19, when a 12-year-old Spanish girl was bundled into a silver Peugeot in Velez Malaga.
Now his son has called for a change in the law to prevent dangerous sex offenders like his father coming abroad in the first place.
Stephen Bill, 26, from Preston, told the Olive Press: “I think it is ridiculous that European law allows him the right to build a new life in Spain around people who know nothing about him or his past.
“My father is a dangerous man and in north Wales everyone knows about his convictions.
“But over in Spain, expats had no idea. It just shouldn’t have happened.”
The girl, who has told of her terrifying ordeal on Spanish TV, was able to escape from the car seconds before the man sped off with her inside.
The incident mirrored Bill’s previous conviction in 2009, in which he was found guilty of the attempted abduction of a girl of five from a street in Holywell, north Wales.He was also found guilty of indecently assaulting a seven-year-old girl and of possessing 730 pornographic images of children.
Police are still involved in a major manhunt for Bill, an ex-Jehovah’s Witness.
He moved to Spain on August 9, despite a UK judge describing him as having ‘an unhealthy sexual and predatory interest in young children’.
