Like I told - there is problem with threshold changes. If the thresholds are manipulated then it will lower also reported crime rates but the apparent crime rate based on personal experiences circulating in the population will paint a diffe

To be precise - not Chechnya but Russian Republic of Chechnya under Russian puppet control. There was a moment after collapse of USSR when Chechnya was de facto independent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechnya#Chechen

Hyper-inflation is caused by collapse of the economy - if you can't produce enough for basic needs then there is always deficit - you can only get the product when you pay more than others. Soon prices will rise to the level where nobo

Not necessarily. It depends on the expression. Beds are used mainly for resting and many people sleep naked or half naked. Perhaps it is an American thing to see everything as pornography when it involves a naked body but there are many cas

Let's say that you own an item of sentimental value that you are not willing to sell, but if somebody would offer 1 billion for it then you would seriously consider to do it.

I don't see how any of this is relevant to the issue. I'm talking about birth control that is family planning, programs that provide contraceptives and these incidence are something completely different.

No, it is because the probability of arriving to a correct answer increases when there are more members in the group, but only when the individual probability to arrive to a correct conclusion is higher than 50%. Group of smart people is sm

We can do this because the overpopulation is not happening globally. If for example Ukraine and Russia had the same population growth than Africa and Middle East is having then there wouldn't be no grain available for Africa or Middle
