8 year old girl fucked to death?

It's different over there, in Japan 12 year old girls are forced to be prostitutes

What the

what? He is right in questioning it, she was married at an extremely young age and as much as that seems fucked up to you and i, in those countries it's basically a normality for girls to be married by 16, so he is right in questioning whether it was something she did want or not

Child rapist -> chicken somehow lays into nikes -> touts vegan culture as the answer.

Can't say I'm surprised chicken would miss any opportunity to externalize blame for a random horrible thing and act like his way is the answer to the world's problems.

The way he phrased it made me put off, as if she had asked for it/was in on it. Sure child brides is a normality in Jemen, but this is clearly an agreement between the parents and the man who bought her, so him asking if the girl was "in on it" just seems like a dumb thing to wonder about.

Well I don't know if anyone has the answer, so you shouldn't be so sure of that answer

This, especially if she is 8 years old.

 How on earth do you think she would want to be married to a 40 year old guy. Think about what you did at the age of 8, thats like 2nd grade. I don't think there was a lot of stuff about getting together with the other gender or even marrying...

It's not different there. That happens in Canada and the U.S. if you don't think so, you need to pull your head out of the sand.

wait. did you even read my fucking post? when did I even mention vegan culture?

what am I supposed to do? just say "that's horrible" and then get on with my life?

this is exactly like when those girls put a cat in the microwave and everyone lost their shit. but then they don't even consider how their own actions affect animals. the exact same fucking thing except this time it's women and children.

stop being sheep and start thinking

oh, you

really didn't need to read that when im this hungover

Try shutting the fuck up, you sprout snorting asshat.

No, it's still a fucking retarded question unless you honestly believe an 8 year old is mature enough in any way to make such a decision. You can't possibly be serious. I don't care what is "normal" over there, it is a physical impossibility that she had the capacity to understand the magnitude of a decision like that regardless of whether or not she said the words "I wanna be a bride!". (Gee, I've never heard a female child say that or dress up in a wedding gown so it makes sense right?)

It's important to note that not all muslims are like this. Only the ones that actually adhere to principles of their religion.

dude, you need to understand how other cultures work. if you went there and just observed them every day you would think you were in a completely different world. the problem with most people, like here, is they think they have everything figured out and everything is the same in all areas of the world. this culture has been doing this for hundreds if not thousands of years. her mother, grandmother, great grandmother, etc were all married at an extremely young age, and so were their ancestors before them, it's what they have always known. just because one way is normal here does not make it the same there. i'm not saying what happened is okay or right or even justifiable because there clearly was intent in the case of the sexual act and her passing from it, but what I am saying is that marriage at a young age in this culture is the tradition/norm, just as we have our own traditions here.

Ok so let's just leave it at "They are child-rapist animals" and call it a day.

yup he's right, in India people live in one room flats, and the adults fuck in there bed while their are children are there. if i walked into a room wearing you would think i was crazy but its what they find normal, this is called cultural relativism.

You just know some sick fucker is getting off to this. Makes it even worse.

I understand cultural relativism (I'm a history major and currently studying ethnology, not saying that I "know" how the world works, but saying I'm not just pulling my ideas straight out of my ass), and I know that it is tradition in many countries of the world to still marry their children young.
However, the way Wallishpls posted made it sound as if he was wondering whether the child had asked for it herself. Of course a little 8 year old child isnt gonna go ahead and say "you know what, mom, dad, brothers, uncles, grandparents, I do not want to marry this old man", shes a fucking child who will do what her parents force her to do. The fact that its part of their custom I can "understand" (although I on a personal level think its beyond fucked), however marriages like these are often business settlements or ways for families to tie tribes together. Women (and children) are basically property without any rights. When they do object to something they are either beaten up, raped or killed.

from wikipedia:

"Roughly half of Yemeni girls are married before 18, some by the age eight,[54] even though Yemeni law set the minimum age for marriage at 15; but tribal customs have often flouted the law. According to HRW, in 1999 the minimum marriage age of fifteen for women was abolished; the onset of puberty, interpreted by conservatives to be at the age of nine, was set as a requirement for consummation of marriage.[55] In practice "Yemeni law allows girls of any age to wed, but it forbids sex with them until the indefinite time they’re 'suitable for sexual intercourse"

What I'm trying to say is that sure, its a custom thats been going on for years, but I highly doubt that this little girl h e r s e l f begged to be married to some adult man.

Every year you hear about girls who live over here, go to school and are living like other girls their age. Then, summer break comes up and they go back to "visit family" in their home country, only to be married off to someone over there, arranged marriages where they have no say whatsoever. Some even committ suicide before travelling because they know whats going to happen.

Makes me wonder, why do people protest against gay marriage, but not against child marriage? justasayin.

I didn't say it didn't happen here, I just remember hearing how common it was there, you don't see 8 year old prostitutes on the street in the us, I'm pretty sure

But they exist. The average age of entry into prostitution in the US is 13. That's not the low end, but the average.

Weight, well I was just saying

No one protests child marriage because it's nonexistent in the US. No shit Sherlock.
