just call me a "hick american" then.

sorry pal but whipping a 13 year old girl 90 fucking times is barbaric and savage. we as humans have the right to condemn such actions and should pressure the "culture" that carries out inhumane treatment like this to stop it.

what gets me is is your blase attitude of "oh well, its their culture we should butt out" you make me sick.

Why thank you!! I appreciate the compliment!! Coming from you it mean almost nothing...rofl..hahahaaa

To borrow from others :awe:,

But, but, but Booooooooooosh!

BTW, Skoorb, what IS that thing you use as avatar?
You are the first to ask. However, I have to really caution you. Are you SURE you want to open Pandora's Box? It cannot be closed afterward. What you see is merely a little claymation figure but behind the facade he hides something terrible.

Yes, 90 lashes is extreme by my standards, but this is their culture, and I have no right to tell other people what to do or how to live their lives. I'm sure they think alot of our things are extreme, but in a different way. But, alot of people don't like western culture. This might be a way for them to combat that. Mobile phone in a classroom where they are supposed to be learning? I sometimes wish our teenagers would keep mobile phones out of a classroom and try learning something for a change other than what happened on American Idol last night. When we give our children a timeout for poor grades or don't give them an allowance, they are doing something which is going to influence many others outside of the situation from doing the same. Different strokes for different folks, and I sometimes wish we'd be more extreme. We could learn from such barbarism.

Saudi Arabia's biggest export besides oil is terrorism and a barbaric culture. They've spread it far and wide (read: Pakistan, Afghanistan etc) and it's infected these nations like a virus. Until the source is rooted out, terrorism will be here to stay.

You are a fine American; you really do your country proud.

You act like I said something about GWB.

GWB talked big ina speech, then didn't do shit about it either.

So, what is your crew doing?

That`s not the issue is simple...your crew is so afraid of another Obama vistory in 3 years that they are scared shitless to get on baord and try to do anything meaningful.....sad

The Neocons don't care how many people needlessly die as long as they have their cadilac plans.
