8 year old Bride dies

Rage? This interaction is creating feelings that are the opposite of rage in me.

Trolling the idea of cultural understanding? Not shocked that brings a smile to your face.

 

[Further]

I agree that we need to judge and get rid of all these stupid ass customs, but not just from the brown religions, but from all religions. Christian shit also needs to be gotten rid of, Muslim, Hindu, Jewish, all sorts of religious customs that degrade others, minimize freedom, need to be cut out from society. I was just learning about how in India if you are a Brahman woman and you are widowed, you are sent away from your house to get your head shaved and live in a house with other widows, never to see your family again. This is even the case for 6 year olds who were married when they were 4, and have never met their husbands, they spend their entire lives shipped off and living destitute, often forced into prostitution. There are all sorts of religious based customs that are screwed up. You go down the list of most godless nations, and they are the ones with the highest standards of living, best education, and most just laws. Religion sucks!

Your intolerance offends me.

I'm confused and confounded by those who want people to react to these situations but not to the Syria situation. Don't get me wrong, I don't know where I sit. But to feel so strongly to admonish, judge and/or punish a culture that allows this type of behavior that is different from American culture and then wants to step aside with Syria.... I realize you cannot win.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I'm curious. It's an epiphany. Don't hate. I'm pretty much at a loss here. I mean, do we react, do we not react and accept cultures that are vastly different? Is it okay as long as its under the American umbrella?

 

[Further]

You can admonish a culture for wedding eight year olds without going to war. I don't think anyone is saying that we need topple the Yemenis by force because we think 40 year olds shouldn't fuck eight year olds to death.

 

[Further]

But perhaps I'm not the one that should answer, I like judging cultures and religions that victimize or degrade people. I think most people do. We just shouldn't judge things that aren't negatively impactful as being negative just because they are different.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

Hey man, I have two young daughters, so I disagree with this type of BS (I would without having young kids). But where do we draw the line for interference?

 

[Denny Crane]

The British judged the Zulus.

That worked out great.

Depends on what type of interference. Our leaders could speak out at a pretty low level. If things like this happen on a very regular basis and hundred or thousands of kids are being fucked to death than perhaps we consider stronger interference, like withholding aid until they crack down, or if they don't receive aid perhaps a trade embargo. For us to consider a military action I would say either they would have to be sending their rapists here, or they would have to be systematically doing these types of things to the point of tens or even hundreds of thousands of children were being killed this way. The bar to interfere militarily should be quite damn high.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

The more I've read on this, the more disturbing it is. But I don't know that it's our job to go in and "fix" a culture. There's far worse problems out there, globally, but I think we should be starting at home first.

Pretty screwed up. If the citizens of Yemen accept this behavior I don't know what to think. Reminds me of Sandusky case in that its not so unexpected there is a single creepy screwed up person out there; but so many adults could prevent this and instead they all turn a blind eye or blatantly allow this behavior to take place.

 

[maxiep]

It's not just this maggot that's to blame, but that poor girl's fucked-up family. They all deserve to burn.

After no details appeared, I was going to post tonight, to ask whether this is just more manhater propaganda to draw us into war. I see I was right. These have been very major news stories.

Remember the pre-Iraq I testimony from an average Saudi to Congress of troops killing Kuwaiti babies (the testifier was later disclosed to be a right-wing princess who hid from the media after they found out), Iraq II's rape rooms (Denny still falls for that juvenile nonsense), the Libyan woman barging into the international fact-finding meeting to cry rape (she was awarded a job in Colorado for that), and a month ago some similar rape story in Syria (by now the media was onto the trick and questioned it as being the same old BS).

Here's the latest. Some intelligence liar says that the West isn't trying to replace the popular government in Syria with a regressive Religious Right hellhole, devoid of modern comforts like electricity, plumbing, and air conditioning in the desert (the same as the U.S. did to to Iraq).

[Denny Crane]

Me and the UN and amnesty international. All fooled by your hero, Saddam.

Sometimes you are funny.

 

[jlprk]

As Lincoln said, "War propaganda can fool all the warmongers some of the time, and some of the warmongers all of the time, but only temporarily except for Denny." He got elected in 1860 on that plank.

 

[jlprk]

I tried to defend you, but it was an 8 days ride into Washington. Snookum stopped responding to sugar cubes.

 

[Denny Crane]

The facts aren't on your side.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1940050.stm

Twenty-eight members voted in favour of the resolution, four voted against and 21 states abstained.

The proposal accuses President Saddam Hussein's government of "systematic, widespread and extremely grave violations of human rights and international humanitarian law".

It demands that Iraq should immediately put an end to its "summary and arbitrary executions... the use of rape as a political tool and all enforced and involuntary disappearances".

 

[jlprk]

So your evidence for rape rooms is this.

The proposal accuses President Saddam Hussein's government of "systematic, widespread and extremely grave violations of human rights and international humanitarian law".

In the war fever of 2002, Britain and the U.S. made many accusations to grease the wheels toward war. 10 years after taking over the country, you must have many people lined up who saw rape rooms. Can you list a couple hundred here, as space allows?

Wait. What? Obama wants to go to war with Yemen? Do you think he wanted a 'boots on the ground war, or just to lob a few missiles at the homes of some child molesters?

So, are you saying that President Obama is trying to replace the popular government in Syria with a regressive Religious Right hellhole, devoid of modern comforts like electricity, plumbing, and air conditioning in the desert (the same as the U.S. did to to Iraq)?

What ever the reason or the action, rest assured that it's Bush's fault.

How about you prove your own lies?

28 nations voted on this resolution that specifically mentions the use of rape as a political tool. That would be the USA and Britain, but also 26 others.
