Saudi judge upholds man's marriage to 8-year-old

For once I agree with you. Sometimes I'm tempted to wonder if Vader is actually serious when he talks this complete and utter ****.

I can't blame him for his thoughts. It would be good if we could just think it and it would happen, but alas it won't happen that way.

There has to be manpower to do it, and of course, along with that is casualties on both sides. It is simply unpractical, especially when we haven't even completed the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns.
 
I have to seriously ask here Vader.

you are supportive of ousting Chavez, North Korean's leader, Russian's leader, Iran's leader, Pakistan's leader, where the hell do you expect this to come from?

I mean seriously, where are you expecting this man power to come from? You want to overthrow practically everyone that isn't an ally of the U.S.

No offense, but your suggestions are nothing but madness.

No offense taken --- my suggestions are a little out there.

It's not like the mindless crap you babble on about makes any sense either.

You're living in exhile in Austrialia! What does that say about your politics?

:mrgreen:

Here you lame insults seem to be accompanied by an admission you talk "mindless crap".:2razz:

It is exile and I'm 19, I moved here when I was 15 because my parents decided to, not my choice. i hope to move back when I finish Uni.
 
While this is and/or may be disgusting and we know this is wrong to "us"? We must respect religious freedoms and other cultures.

I see ...

You're 19.... so you're not really old enough to know much about the world yet.

You have yet to develop the simple wisdom that comes from experiencing life in all of its wonderous variety.

We will have this discussion again when you turn 29. By then, I suspect you will have learned enough about life to continue.

And then I'll understand why your posts are "mindless crap"?:2razz:

And why must we do this?

My religious and cultural values tell me that eight year olds are too young to be married and that we ought to protect them from men who think otherwise.

Not true. What we are well advised to do is respect the prerogatives of other sovereign nations to rule themselves as they wish, for to do otherwise would be to criticize our own liberty.

We may be forced to allow countries to do something we feel is wrong, but that in noway means we have to respect it.

Amen to that. There is no way I can respect pedophilia under any circumstances.

Very true. Maybe respect was the wrong word to use.

But we either respect the right to practice whatever religion we wish to or we do not? I am not saying we must agree with it but respect the right to it since that is one thing we pride ourselves on here in this country.

I thought we pride ourselves at being peaceful towards other countries and their right to their own cultures and religions.

Even if their culture allows old men to marry and have sex with baby girls?

Nah, they get absolutly zero respect from me until put an end to sick **** like this.

I see what your getting at. I think we must draw a line somewhere. I just saw in the news this morning that the girl from slum dog millionaire was for sale by here father. A Saudi sheik had the bidding up to $300,000. I tell you this is totally disgusting.
 
Young Saudi girl's marriage ended

Media reports say an arranged marriage between a Saudi girl aged eight and a man in his 50s has been annulled, in a case attracting worldwide criticism.

The Saudi Gazette says the annulment was agreed in an out-of-court settlement after a judge rejected two attempts to grant the girl a divorce.

The case prompted Saudi officials to say it would start regulating the marriages of young girls.

This is good news
 
Very good news indeed

Protesting something that we feel wrong, doesn't mean we are not being peacful.
 
Pedophilia is just not something anybody should accept.

See, by everybody being outraged about it that little girl now won't have to go through sex with a man old enough to be her grandfather.
