Six-year-old Afghan girl reportedly sold in marriage

[Texashiker]

I am still waiting to know where the liberal love and tolerance is at?

How long until a refugee shows up at our borders with his 10 year old bride? What then liberals? Are you going to become a bigot and shame the man?

Liberals are all for marriage equality, right? Welcome to the liberal utopia yall want.

What the hell is up with your strawman arguments. No one here thinks the case in the OP is okay, and it's been pointed out that these disgusting individuals exist in a variety of cultures, including our own. No one is defending pedophilia. But, you, for some bizarre reason, seem to have a broken sense of right and wrong - and a broken sense of understanding what others find to be right or wrong. And, you seem to believe that liberals do defend pedophilia - they don't. For what it's worth, since you seem to be of a Christian religion, Ecclesiastical law allowed marriage once a female reached puberty. Further, within Christian law, prior to 1907, a betrothal was allowed for girls as young as 7, and marriage at 12 years. In 1907, the bar was raised to 14. However, since you seem to be attempting, as I suspect the OP did, to make this about one particular religion, let's point out the position of the Church of the Latter Day Saints, prior to 2008 that permitted child marriage in the US. (In 2008, they changed to adhere to the local minimum ages.) Or, in your great state of Texas, the YFZ ranch. 14 year old child brides.

In short, abuse of children is disgusting. The practice of child brides is disgusting. That you think any group of people here would defend it demonstrates the type of individual that you are. Go back to your tugboat.

Incidentally, we don't have to wait for the 10 year old child married to an adult to show up at our doorstep. In most US states, the minimum age is 18, and often 16 with parental permission (or, in cases of the bride to be sobbing openly) with parental coercion. And, with a judge's permission, and apparently some (though it's lost on me what a good reason could be) good reason, at virtually any age, with there being at least one case where a 10 year old legally married in the U.S. under our laws.

Afghanistan is this way not because of liberals.

So liberal love and tolerance does have limits?

If having morals and values makes conservatives bigots, what are liberals when they reach the limits of their tolerance?

What you're really waiting for is to feel better about yourself by finding fault in others even if you have to lie to yourself to find fault in them that isn't really there. Must be so difficult for you to live like that.

What should we call liberals who reach the limits of their love and tolerance?

The word "bigot" comes to mind.

Equality among consenting adults. I don't understand why that is so hard for you to understand. Maybe you've "tugged" a few too many brain cells lose.

I fully understand what you are saying!!!!!

The question still stands, what do you call a liberal who reaches the end of their tolerance?

 

[VRAMdemon]

This story is sad, but...honestly I really could give a shit...I'm tired of caring what happens in ME. We have been dicking around over there now for 15 years and its getting old...As long as it's not going on in the US, they can lead whatever shitty religious lifestyle they want...

Call it like it is, they are called bigots, just like conservatives are called.

Anyone else notice it took exactly ONE post for the progressives to attempt to change the narrative?

"Look! Look at the AMISH (instead.) They're doing it (too!) It's awful! Focus on the Amish! (Not my friends...)"

...ignore the 99% guilty to focus on the 1%. Hey... gotta' protect that narrative! :thumbsup:

Liberals are enlightened when they're intolerant. See, they object to reports of child marriage because...well, they're not quite sure why. They commit the crime of cultural imperialism by saying that 'consenting adults' is part of their moral equation but most Islamic countries do not believe that women have the right to consent to anything so if 'consenting adults' is some sort of consideration then that's necessarily Islamophobia.

The ironic thing is that the very people who prattle on about the importance of finding 'root causes' are utterly and completely unable to identify the root cause of Islamic misogyny, Islamic terrorism, Islamic imperialism, Islamic violence, Islamic child abuse, when all of these things are justified by Islamic clerics.

I guess we'll just never know the root cause of all of these uniquely Islamic problems and God only help the conservative who speaks to them because he or she can count on being called some very bad names by the liberals.

You should still never post at all, but that is just me maybe I guess.

Your theory has been debunked many times, liberals do not support child marriage anymore than any other sane person.

But it is your right to keep on ranting and make a fool out of yourself.

There are no liberals endorsing child marriage.

Uniquely Islamic. Youbetcha! And in your own (rhetorically speaking) back yard.

One of these days you'll read something that isn't propaganda and it will blow your mind.

Child abuse ?

FACTS are "islamophobia".

Mufa’khathat, literally translated it means “placing [penis] between the thighs” which means placing the male member between the thighs of a child.

Using an infant or pre-pubescent child as a masturbation tool is the sign of a sick, diseased, warped mind. Their own prophet did it and told his followers to emulate him. 🙁

How about feminists and progressives focus their efforts on where that problem originates, rather than making up somewhat-related bullshit ("rape culture") to transfer that rage onto.

You should really get your shit together if your going to go on another rant.

You're arguing about one thing full FUD mode, and disputing anything else.

Says the troll creating his own. Have you noticed anyone, let alone your dreaded progressives, defend this shit?

Has 'Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone' really gone out of fashion with your kind so quickly? A secular kinda guy might opt for a good ol "those in glass houses.." Is the concept really that alien and frightening to you?

This ain't about marriage numbnuts. You are essentially getting worked up over others applying equal disgust to geographically different but very similar forms of CHILD ABUSE.

Froth away I suppose...
