‘Doesn’t apply to every european country, but prison sentences are a lot shorter. Life in prison without parole is extremely rare and many countries do not have such sentences. For example the maximum sentence here in Finland is called “Life in prison” but the avarage time spent in prison before release is 13-14 years for them.’

‘At least in Germany, nudity. No one cares if you’re naked, no one thinks you’re a sex offender, no one thinks it’s even sexual to be naked unless you’re actively having sex, and no one makes it weird.

‘You can be naked in public parks to soak up sun, on beaches, swim naked in lakes. Saunas are all naked, mixed sex areas in spas and saunas are naked with no issues and in general, it’s just not an issue.’
