according to the Indian Data Corporation women cell phone users send an average of 4.2 SMSes (sic) with sexual content daily. The number for men is 2.2.

Meanwhile, also in the Hindustan Times, it is reported that 300 women have reported being raped in Delhi this year; many by policemen or males posing as policemen.

Do you think there is a correlation?

A correlation between what exactly?

Are you Gentreau?

Um, start talking sense. The data you've given shows no relationships whatsoever.

OK. We have a culture that praises women for their sexual forwardness, and an unusually high level of rape. Do you think there could be a connection?

Harry, don't get arsey, this isn't a dig. IMHO the interesting undercurrents of life don't spell themselves out. I'm trying not to limit the scope of a thread on a subject I find slightly interesting by introducing allusion and a hint of controversy (policemen). The literal is rarely interesting.

How the fuck are we supposed to tell this is an 'unusually high' level of rape from the data you provided? For all we know that might be the norm for Dehli.

so the lesson we can learn is, if you send an SMS (containing sexual content) in the indian sub-continent, beware of policemen, or men posing as policemen

Not entirely. The lesson you learn is that if you re-state an open question in a way that closes the question and tries to make the questioner look stupid people will wonder why. Then they will realise you just made an arse of yourself in flambe and see you're a petty, mean spirited type of person.

aw, don't be like that, i was just trying help to clear things up

Apology accepted. Kiss, kiss. I'm off.

this shows that the corruption in the dehli police force is as high as i had expected
