A friend of mine who says he’s a libertarian knows an awful lot about Sweden for someone who’s never been there. Tells me rape is out of control there because…socialism.

Your friend is badly misinformed. Two different occassions I lived in Sweden for a month or more.

Felt very safe as a young woman there.

You cannot seriously believe that socialism causes rape? And if your friend believes that, I would recommend broadening your social circle.

Thanks for the advice. I work with him, so he's not a social friend, he's a work friend. I know he is misinformed, that was my point.

The uneducated and incurious are the bane of reasonable people.

The uneducated and incurious are easily fooled, which is why the Republicans are against public, secular education.
