Colombia, home of the modern-day Lysistratas:

The girlfriends of gang members in one of Colombia’s most violent cities have called off a sex strike aimed at ending a deadly gang feud… Pereira’s security chief hailed the strike as a success, saying the women had shown they could win with what he described as “very noble weapons”.

Quoth one of the gangster’s noble molls: “I would prefer him getting angry to having to go and cry at his funeral.”

Seriously... DTMFsA. That would really cut down gang culture. I guess as long as they won't, though, and like the tough-guy game up to but not including murder, bargaining with sex to reduce murder is good.

Colombia, not Columbia. Colombia is a country, Columbia is a university.
