The following quotes were taken from the Toronto News, July 26, 1977, and are actual statements found on insurance forms where car drivers attempted to summarize the details of an accident in the fewest words possible.
1. The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
2. Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I do not have.
3. The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intentions.
4. I thought my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my hand through it.
5. I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.
6. A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face.
7. A pedestrian hit me and went under my car.
8. I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment.
9. In my attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole.
10. I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached the intersection, a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision. I did not see the other car.
11. I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had the accident.
12. I was on my way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way.
13. As I approached the intersection a stop sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.
14. To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian.
15. My car was legally parked. It backed into the other vehicle.
16. An invisible car came out of nowhere. Struck my vehicle and vanished.
17. I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat, I found that I had a fractured skull.
18. I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.
19. The pedestrian had no idea which direction to run, so I ran him over.
20. I saw a slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman, as he bounced off the hood of my car.
21. The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
22. I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.
23. The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of the way when it struck my front end.

"World of Spycraft: NSA, GCHQ hacked WoW and Xbox Live, other games"
"Al Qaida terrorist target selectors and GVE executables have been found associated with Xbox Live, Second Life, World of Warcraft, and other GVEs in PINWALE network traffic, TAO databases, and in forensic data," the report stated. "Other targets include Chinese hackers, an Iranian nuclear scientist, Hizballah, and Hamas members." And the games and virtual worlds not only provided a potential way to monitor communications between these individuals but could also provide their geographic location, information on their social networks (through buddy lists), and a potential way to drop malware onto their computers to collect even more data. "It has been well documented that terrorists are OPSEC and tech savvy and are only getting more so over time," the report noted. "These applications and their servers however, are trusted by their users and make a connection to another computer on the Internet, which can then be exploited."

You don't get the point do you? The Swedish criminal justice system is so liberal they can't care less about child rape/ molest.
I can't believe this reasoning/ logic.
If you have sex with a 30 year old, young looking woman with a flat chest, can you be accused of child rape?
