Man! That stuff is deep. Not sure how much of it is accurate and how much of it is propaganda along the lines of look how they treat homosexuals - as a means for Occidentals to justify their stereotypes and appease their conscience for war mongering.
You always have to consider the source. Harvard isn’t known as the bastion of enlightenment thinking. Any place that employs Dershowitz - how much credibility can they have?

I agree Kilroy. The word “democracy” has become scary these days and this survey is conducted within an “internet and democracy” project! We are being watched, and not by sheer curiosity only. Very fishy

99, you made me download the report and read it!
I thought it meant youngsters
