There are plenty of Indians/Pakistanis on this board.

Anyways, this kind of crap happens all over. Want me to pull out some crazy articles of crazy things that people in the U.S have done?

All you hd to do is look at the front page of OT.

Yeah, but in teh US, the crazies do crazy stuff because they are crazy, not because of their beliefs.

What does what he did have to do with his religion?

Show me one religion that allows him to do this.

Thanks.

If you are not talking about religion then what are you talking about?

Are you suggesting their culture is like this? That would go against their religion.

Therefore, making your statement totally inaccurate.

Religion means nothing to me. Every person has their own beliefs which might or might not match up with a specific religion or local way of life.

Off subject here, but is he dead or alive?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Manson

Manson was last entitled to a parole hearing in 2002, and was denied early release, in particular due to a "litany" of offenses ranging from drug trafficking to arson to assaulting guards. He is next eligible for parole in 2007. However, he is never expected to be granted parole.

Why don't you just admit you meant religion?

"Yeah, but in teh US, the crazies do crazy stuff because they are crazy, not because of their beliefs."

You just said above every person has their own beliefs, but you said crazies in the U.S do not do it because of their beliefs which means that you just implied that crazy people in the U.S do not have their own set of beliefs.

They do it because they are crazy and have no belief system that drives them to be crazy. However, crazy people in Pakistan are not doing it because they are crazy but because of their "beliefs". That is exactly what you just implied.

They might have similar beliefs that stem from religion, but I most certainly didn't mean religion.

Yes, but here they're usually done by mentally unbalanced crazies, not supposedly sane people who are still living with one foot in a 15th century culture.

(Not saying the country as a whole is that way, just the rural parts that need to move a few centuries forward)

Dude, he was arrested, just like he would have been here. This guy was just as crazy as every retard who kills his daughters over here.

Why do you assume that his actions are considered acceptable over there?

Oh, wait, the fact that he was arrested means that they condone this kind of thing, right?

Retard.

There are quite a few things that you can do and not get arrested for in certain countries over there. Hell, Pakistan's neighbor, Afghanistan has some seriously fvcked up citizens. How do I know? I've been there and seen it first hand.

Ever meet guys that would sleep with other guys because they didn't want to sleep with their wife unless they wanted a child? Or fathers performing sexual acts with their children? Or animals?

Trust me, there are no enforceable laws on all kinds of sick crap in Afghanistan.

You cannot compare Afghanistan to India or Pakistan.

Afghanistan is the definition of a 100th world country if there ever needed to be a definition of one.

They are light years away from reaching 5th world status.

You can blame Russia for that. They ruined the country.

By the way the way I highly doubt you went to Afghanistan and Afghan men openly told you they had sex with other men because of their situation at home. They do not speak English there so how in the world do you know what is going on in someone's personal life? How in the world do you know fathers are having sexual acts with their children? You do know that stuff happens in the U.S a LOT, right? Yes, people have sex with animals in the U.S, a LOT too.

Once again, you put words into my mouth. I never compared the two countries. And yes, Afghan men openly told us stories about their culture, but you could figure it out on your own. The older men tend to dominate (literally) the younger men and recieve favors from them, ranging from bring them food to sexual favors. Not all of course, but it was rampant, and it was public. We're not talking about hidden in the bedroom type stuff here. And yes of course people do the sick stuff here in the US, but the difference is that theres really no law against it over there. And even if there was, nobody would care.
