Electronico6 posted:Algarve is the third least poor region of Portugal, second being Madeira, and first Lisbon. The correct answer is tourists. But the Algarve has been for quite some time the most crime filled region in Portugal(which doesn't really mean much considering everything). The major crimes in the Algarve has always been theft and kidnapping, so homicide rate being that high is kinda surprising. Lot of 'retired' gangsters there. When it gets too hot in Ireland/UK/Netherlands etc., that's where they go.

I'm totally pro-choice and stuff, but what the gently caress is wrong with you Eastern Europe? Don't most of those countries have socialized medicine and birth control available for free?

How is that related to people getting drunk because alcohol is cheap here and then producing mass of babies that are deemed to be shameful mistakes the morning afterwards?

I saw an Al Jazeera news clip once on the rising opinion against abortion in Russia that mentioned in the Soviet Union abortion was basically seen as birth control in its later decades vs in America where it seen as a last choice type of thing, so it may be a lasting cultural impact of that.

I know there's a similar phenomenon in China, but they also have laws banning children outside of marriage so I don't know if it's just a generic "(former) Communist countries are big on abortion" thing.

Odd to see that Tunisia and Israel are apparently Europe, too. Interesting that so few abortions happen in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Bavaria and Flanders, despite being perfectly legal. Must be that most pregnancies there are, in fact, planned.

I'd say proper sexual education and cultural attitudes toward birth control are more likely than just "Every sperm is sacred" in this case.

Google is telling me Poland's birthrate is only 1.30 per woman, vs 1.46 in the Ukraine. Interesting that despite the far lower abortion rate the Polish birth rate is still lower. Is contraception use particularly prevalent in Poland?

I'm actually surprised that the abortion rate in Ireland is so high. This is the country that almost forced a teenage rape victim to give birth and, twenty years later, forced a woman to die from septicaemia because her fetus had a heartbeat...

Is contraception use particularly prevalent in Poland? Abortion in Poland is illegal except for the sake of the mother's health, in cases or rape, or if the fetus is seriously deformed. This map uses official data, so it only has the numbers of legal abortions. That's probably why Poland's abortion rate is so low.

A combination of lack of access to high quality contraceptives, macho/patriarchal culture, and free abortions.

This is the country that almost forced a teenage rape victim to give birth and, twenty years later, forced a woman to die from septicaemia because her fetus had a heartbeat... I'm pretty sure that map is factoring in abortions performed on Irish Citizens in the UK and abortions performed out of region for Northern Irish residents (NI only reported 51 abortions last year for example and the number of annual live births usually hovers around 25,000). The figures for the Republic could be even higher as the UK reports only factor in women who have openly declared an Irish address and many, unsurprisingly, do not. Northern Ireland technically has more liberal abortion laws than the Republic but in practice it is still incredibly hard for any woman to have an abortion in Northern Ireland, the Department of Health has repeatedly evaded calls to publish guidelines for when an abortion would be permissible under current legislation and thus most doctors in NI refuse to refer patients. It helps that the current minister for Health is a evangelical young-earth creationist who is publicly anti-abortion (and who has also wasted huge amounts of departmental funding fighting a court ruling that would force NI to allow gay couples to adopt).

The dark green areas in the Netherlands are overwhelmingly Reformed and have a relatively low non-native population. Also, Flanders is mostly only nominally Catholic nowadays, in many cases not even that. I'm sceptical about Portugal and Poland, I'm sure that Poland at least is very restrictive when it comes to abortion, so not all abortions are being registered.

In German it would be perfectly fine to say "Boot des Todes", which would translate directly into boat of death. Although using the word Todesboot instead would be slightly more modern (it means the same). And here you can see how Dutch is right in the middle between German and English: Tod - death -> dood.

Yeah, in Dutch 'doodsboot' would be the more modern version.

Jerry Cotton posted:Just out of curiosity what would be a non-archaic way of saying 'kuoleman laiva' in Dutch? (I'm assuming that's Dutch.) 'Boot van de dood'. If I understand right, 'des' shows it's the possessive case. "van de" just means "of the". Concerning grammatical cases, Dutch used to be quite similar to German, but nearly all of that crap (grammatical cases make a language unnecessarily complicated if you ask me) has been culled from the Dutch language during the last century. You don't see any of those, well, special cases any more except in a few proper names like town names. Other than that, there's only two definite articles left (de and het, depending on word gender. And as far as I'm concerned we should kill word gender too. As a Dutchman, I feel that while English is quite bad considering spelling (each sound can be written in a dozen ways and vice versa), its grammar is quite sensible and we should take it as an example for improving Dutch. I realize that saying this in public means I will have to face the wrath of Dutch language purists.)
