Married at the age of four, an Afghan girl was subjected to years of beatings and torture . . .

This is a disgusting story with horrific pictures and text . .

I shudder at what she must have endured. X

There are monsters everywhere. Poor thing must have an iron will to survive.

Her "husband" and "father-in-law" were monsters - but she sounds remarkable.

Jet,

Have no pity for her! She's Muslim and her only purpose and goal in life is to kill YOU! She deserves it! Religion of peace my butt!

I'm going to start my own religion. I'll call it the religion of peach. Duane Allman will be our savior and demi-god.

Jet, there are 26,999,999 people out there just like her. This stuff is horrible.

I guess I'm finally getting thru to you . . .

adroomi, I thought you were the one who was against our intervention anywhere in the Middle East, and that all we ever do is make matters worse?

I was being sarcastic CW.

I'm not against our intervention at all. In fact I recommend it. I am however against our brute force bullying tactics. Using our money and power to hold others down for our own benefit is no longer in our best interests. We used to be able to get away with that sort of thing, and in fact we did for 50 years, however now that the world has flattened, people talk. They KNOW we are full of BS now when we come into their country and tell them we have no plans to c*me in their mouths.

You gotta admit, donkey punching the world was fun while it lasted!

Unfortunately, everything has its cost.

Yep.....

Yep, they don't want it. That is why they are coming here in droves.

Yep . . .

adroomi does have a point though . . . When we leave, they'll go back to beating their kids and wives (in this case, both) and killing Christians, and Killing Jews, and Killing Other Muslims Sects, and they'll still be intollerant, uneducated, unemployed, unwashed, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect, ect . . .

Who's coming here in droves? Are we talking Mexicans or Afghans?

Hockey,

For some reason, people still seem to think that America is the home of choice for the rest of the world, and that people "come here in droves." They'd do go to do some research into immigration stats.

Then other people back up that way of thinking with words like "intollerant, uneducated, etc." I love hearing those type of people using those words.

Yo adroomi:

You shouldn't talk about china like that, God forbid if the chairman...er I mean elected president (excuse me for a minute, Bahahahaha) finds out they might take your red card away.

Who's coming here in droves?

Mexicans, Pakistanis & Indians . . .

Well, since you've been out of the country for a while, adroomi, you might not realize that immigrants have been flooding this country over the last 10 years . . .

It doesn't take a brain surgeon to realize that . . .

Actually Jet, you're quite wrong.

Taiwan, Cuba, and the United Kingdom are topping the list.

I also haven't been "out" of the country as long as you think. You keep forgetting that the world is flat. I am not "over there" on some far and away safari or something. I'm right here my friend. I'm probably more in tune with the USA than you think. I've been in 14 states this year. How many others can say that on this board?

Get your facts straight.
