Abner Louima was sodomzed in a NYPD Pct House by Justin Volpe, a cop on duty. There is no doubt about the facts in this case...right down to Volpe's apology at sentencing.

As I remember, Volpe and his attorney were caught in a major lie to the judge.

Once someone lies to the judge, their goose is cooked.

Their only chance to avoid maximum penalty is to say they are guilty and throw themselves at the mercy of the court.

One wonders what your agenda is.

My agenda is to ask a question about the Louima case that I've heard no one ask before.

Now, tell us your agenda.

Sweden and the Netherlands should be rampant with rapists. Why aren't they?

In modern times, how often do you hear of Swedes or Netherlanders jumping out of bushes anywhere in the world, porn or no porn, to rape people?

"As I already mentioned, correlation does not prove causation. Try again.

Mere coincidence, I'm sure.

"Michael Angelo (right), who works at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation as a volunteer exchanging needles for intravenous drug users ..."

Not his real name.

I've read that cancer has increased over the same time period that television ownership has increased---does that prove television causes cancer?

No. Cell phones cause cancer. And high tension wires. And bacon.

Presumably they have an immunity to the Porn Induced Rape Syndrome.

Or maybe they just raped themselves out a millenium ago when they were Rape champions from Sicily to the Volga.

My agenda is easy to understand. I am former NYPD. What Volpe did to Louima both disgusted and disgraced me and the tens of thousands of others who are or were on the job.

He did not accept twenty years to avoid more. He got the max. He was guilty. The story is that he was smacked by Louima's cousin outside the Brooklyn club and he took it out on Abner. (btw...there is nothing criminal at all in Louima's past). Louima was a citizen of NYC who was brutalized by a cop in uniform in a pct. Put your sympathy where you will.

Yes, they may have already past through that stage of evolution.

OK---and how (in what way) was homosexuality made more legal?

Homosexuality has actual rights spelled out by law now, instead of being illeagal. For a shift from illeagal to special leagal status is a 150% shift. Hetrosexuality is not a protected status.

If correlation does not prove causation, tell me what does? If statistics and testamony of pedophiles and rapists have no bearing, then there is nothing left to talk about. You deny anything that has bearing.

If reality does not prove relevant, than you are wasting my time.

There's no "if" about it.

From the Texas A&M University Department of Statistics Web site:

"We must be very careful in interpreting correlation coefficients. Just because two variables are highly correlated does not mean that one causes the other. In statistical terms, we say that correlation does not imply causation. There are many good examples of correlation which are nonsensical when interpreted in terms of causation.
