I find his use of false equivalence arguments pretty surprising, I didn't expect it from him. This is more of a seiger type of argument.
hi dontsnitch,
i'm not making any kind of equivalence here at all, though.
all i've pointed out is that in the United States, one can marry as young as 13 (New Hampshire), with a court order.
in Georgia, you can be 16 - no court order or parental consent is even needed.
what i'm saying is, its legally acceptable to have a child bride in the United States....and no move has been made to amend this legislation.
i worked in the advertising and fashion industry years ago when i lived up in NYC, and to be honest, i found the sexualization of children to be
de rigueur. very much embraced by the masses from sea to shining sea.
add to that the reality that having a bride who is a minor seems to be legal in many states across the country, and i find this chest puffing about how evil "
they" are to be kind of amusing in its hypocrisy. i'm not angry about it or anything, but i do find it strange.
a better tact to follow would be to clean up our own house, and then proceed (if you must) to hurl your stones.
i kind of get that the main thrust of this thread is for each of you to affirm to one another that Muslims are monsters, and i suppose i'm ruining everyone's fun.
sorry.
