Please liberal media, tell me what to think...... It is a quandary. This reminds me of the American kid in Singapore who was caned for stealing and for vandalizing cars. Maybe I'm harsh but I felt, hell yea spank his ass. This Arab woman didn't steal or damage any ones property so maybe it is too severe a punishment. On the other hand she did violate their law.

Coreece 190 #10 September 27, 2011 Quote You permanently post sh*t links w/o taking any position. What is your idea on that link, why did you post it? This is a big pet peave of yours, isn't it? Personally I think this is a type of strategic posting to get a more accurate response from the prespective of other posters without being influenced by the opinion of the OP. There are many benefits to this type of posting...It's very effective in trapping your opponents and using their comments as an analogy to make them eat crow in another forum. Remember, posting in the SC is a game, it's only a game.Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIGUN 1,055 #14 September 27, 2011 ONLY ten lashes?!?!?!? Sheesh, there must be a progressive feminist movement going on there. There was a time when she would've gotten stoned. Next thing you know, they'll be letting their women vote!! Then what?Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

So then you believe in "cultural relativism", whereby no one has the right to criticize another's cultural practices? And therefore you approve of the muslim practice of cutting off the clitoris of young girls to prevent them from enjoying sex when they mature? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,400 #20 September 27, 2011 >So then you approve of the muslim practice of cutting off the clitoris of young girls >to prevent them from enjoying sex when they mature? Sure, that's exactly the same thing. But I think you could have done a lot better than that; perhaps a Hitler reference and a liberal bash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #21 September 27, 2011 QuoteSo then you believe in "cultural relativism", whereby no one has the right to criticize another's cultural practices? You got it in the target area but you missed. Rights to criticize? You gotta be kidding. Had you been man-up and said, "Do you believe in "cultural relativism?" then, yes. QuoteAnd therefore you approve of the muslim practice of cutting off the clitoris of young girls to prevent them from enjoying sex when they mature? Approve? You're funny. Sheesh...typical SC comeback. You can do better. Thanks for trying to put words in my mouth, though.

jakee 1,255 #24 September 28, 2011 QuoteI evened it up at 9 Already mentioned: Do the crime, do the time. How did you vote in the 'deserves to be executed' polls? QuoteYou people seem to think that only U.S. laws and customs are valid and relevant. Not at all. However, extremely discriminatory laws devised by an absolute monarchy/theocracy are pretty easy to criticize. As for 'custom' (hah!) I would point out that a) no-one ever asked that woman if she wanted to give up her rights for the sake of tradition and b) extreme sexism enshrined in law and disproportionate criminal punishments were a part of the custom and tradition of most western countries (yours too) until quite recently. It was wrong for us then and it's wrong for them now.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meso 38 #25 September 28, 2011 I can't believe there are actually people that voted that she deserves it... What the fuck... Seriously? The idea that anyone is willing to put laws above basic human decency is sickening. There are elements of many cultures which is disgusting and should never be supported, this is one of them. If the US government were to make it illegal for men to make eye-contact with women, and you did it. Would you really think that you deserved it? If so, you need to grow a fucking backbone and realize that just because the government tells you to do something, doesn't mean it's right. One has to be trying overly hard to be accepting and open minded to actually fight for these fucked up cultural laws. Nothing worse than people trying to be accepting to things that don't deserve it. I suppose you people also support the African tribal tradition of finding a girl and raping her in order to make her your wife? Because oh you know, what is human decency when you'll be looked at as a cultural elitist. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
