archenemy Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 You never know where a thread may go....to go from the topic of killing women to censorship is an interesting change in direction. Thanks to you for posting your reactions, impressions, and convictions here. And thanks to Off for posting a warning that I should have reiterated (in addition to the CNN warnings) in my original post. Quote
chucK Posted May 18, 2007 Posted May 18, 2007 I heard some story about this honor killing in Iraq before the war, so it's not something that didn't exist under Saddam. Funny thing, I thought, maybe we should invade and depose that fucker Saddam so this kinda shit don't happen anymore. Whoops. Now with Iraq to be surely under theocratic Muslim law things are going to be way worse for women now than they were under Saddam. Say goodbye to your personal freedoms, oh, but at least you'll still get to worry about being raped and then stoned to death because it happened to you. Sucks. Quote
archenemy Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 I am afraid and saddened that this statement has a great deal of truth to it. Makes me hurt inside for these women. Quote

Fine, let's find the guys that did this and execute them immediately. Do you support that? Quote
archenemy Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 And don't forget those who stood by, filmed it on their cell phones, cheered on those who did the stoning, or helped to drag the girl out of her home. They certainly bear some responsibility, don't they? Quote

They certainly bear some responsibility, don't they? depending on their level of participation, I'd be comfortable meting out appropriate punishments. really folks, if what we are having a problem with is that this goes on under our noses, then that's damn easy to fix, considering we occupy the country and have huge sway over the government there.

archenemy Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 We can't fix thousands of years of cultural beliefs by prosecuting one bunch of guys. Doesn't work here either. Quote

archenemy Posted May 18, 2007 Author Posted May 18, 2007 No kidding. And remember when there was the flap about our female soilders having to wear coverings in the middle of the desert so as not to offend the delicate sensibilities of these men. Quote
