Umm, wow

At least these girls that were raped were paid for their services.

I'm speechless. It's like Hunger4Unger only with less compassion for humanity! I mean really, these 13 year olds forced into sex were paid well... enough to buy bread for their starving out of wedlock children, at least! That's capitalism right there!

Meanwhile terrorists are being force fed PORK...PORK I SAY! Is there no justice!?!

Hmmm, perhaps this is "Kamui The Return."

 

U R ALL ST00PID! I MADE IT ALL UP...

[Guest thebigjig]

jesus... I think this argument has sunken to its lowest now that "at least the girls were paid" is being used as a counter point

so let's not be deliberately ignorant.

Listen to yourself, man!

Hey BX, I have a question. Is

 

At least these girls that were raped were paid for their services.

 

a perfectly valid point?...

Jesus Christ... this whole fucking argument has turned into a finger pointing match... "well THIS is worse!" "oh yeah? Well THATS worse than THIS!"

 

Ladies and gentlemen... it doesnt fucking matter which is worse! It's completely fucking irrelevant!

You can't blame America for this one, you hippie!

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

claims that every night teenage girls crawl through a wire fence to an adjoining UN compound to sell their bodies

Those are some damn determined hos

 

I'm sorry where in the article is the word "rape" mentioned?

 

Why right here

 

One girl, Faela, 13, whose son, Joseph, is not yet six months old, has described how the social stigma of her fatherless child, the result of repeated rape by militiamen in her village, mean she is treated like a pariah in the chaotic and violent Bunia camp, which is home to 15,000 people.

Exactly. They aren't raped by the UN members.

 

And MikeSC..I didn't realize that UN troops have the magic ability to force people to climb under fences and break into buildings in order to have sex in exchange for money and/or food.

 

From what this ONE article presents I'm not exactly ready to light the torches.

 

Is it exxcedingly distasteful? Yes for sure. Should there be punishments handed down? For sure. Is It Rape? not by the evidence presented in that article.

Well, I guess it depends on what you think the legal age for sex is/should be.

 

I see statutory rape.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

Stat. Rape is distasteful. But we're not talking about 6 year olds. In many countries that the UN go to 14 year olds can already be married and pregnant.

[Guest Anglesault]

If it's under the legal age, it doesn't matter.

 

If the legal age in whatever country they're in is 13, It's just disgusting. If it's older, it's illegal.

Oh jesus.

 

Ever read any Shakespeare, Anglesault?

 

Juliet (of "Romeo and...") was 14 and her mother was asking her when she was going to find a man and have kids.

By every legal standard known to man --- youths are incapable of giving consent.

 

Just saying.

Oh jesus.

While our adversaries might reside comfortably in the 17th Century --- for the REST OF HUMANITY, times have changed a bit.

Macbeth and Othello, like ten years ago.

That's being generous. I peg many of our current adversaries as 13th century mindset with 21st (or at least 20th) century technology.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

hmm. Because there's NO teenage pregnancy's in the western world. Riiight.

 

People marry younger because people DIE younger. Marrying young and having LOTS of children is the only way to ensure the continuince of your family.

 

At least according to school textbooks and logical thinking

Only because of economics (i.e. it's virtually impossible to afford to raise a child at that age.)

I didn't mean that as they were paid for sex it meant that it was okay..it wasn't. I said that to illustrate that there is a huge difference between the rape of teenagers (as sick as it is) to the torture/abuse in Iraq as some posters were attempting to trivialize the abuse. Ignorance again prevails as it wasnt just about them being forced to eat pork because they dont like it - it's against their religion. There is no comparison between rape and eating pork, rape is far, far worse, obviously. IT doens't mean that the pork thing wasnt abuse though. Not to mention the forced oral sex, the buggery with a broom, actual rape and er..murder. My point here is that although the troops commit abuse crimes in other places in the world, and whether they are worse than what happened in Iraq or not, it doesn't make what happened in Iraq ok or anyless sick.

Ah, so basic moral principles are based solely on economic factors?

 

Wow.

 

Makes you wonder how slavery got abolished.

Then you used a really poor choice of words.

[Guest INXS]

Yeah, I did. I honestly didn't mean it to come across like that.

[Jobber of the Week 0]

There's no moral problem beyond the fact that it's almost impossible to give a child a fair break at that age.

 

I don't advocate reproduction morals beyond "don't rape" much, anyway. As long as it's consentual, go off and be happy.

JOTW, when a girl is screwing you simply so she can get money to keep herself alive, you would be a low person to actually take advantage of that.

[Jobber of the Week 0]

Yes, I would. That's why I wouldn't do it.

[Guest MikeSC]

Yes, I would. That's why I wouldn't do it.

And that is what THEY did --- they took advantage of young girls forced to do that to actually have money to eat. They are detestable slugs.

Actually, in my R&J example, she's from a wealthy family. Perhaps the play doesn't paint a proper picture but I wasn't there, so I don't know how wealthy 14 year old heirs were being treated.
