Absolutely disgusting and sadly not uncommon. Pri ck should be hung from his balls till he starves to death, in the honor of Muhammad.

Who are we to judge these people? Imposing our morals on them shows typical American arrogance. We have only been around for 300 years or so and we judge these ancient people whose customs are thousands of years old? Perhaps your anti-muslim discrimination and racism kicking in again?

Your right! How silly, immature and racist of me. Cultural Moral Relativism

After all I suppose the only differences between abortion and honor killing are years and family relationship.

So, are you justifying the murder of a young mother for giving birth to a second baby girl because this could have been common practice thousands of years ago?

he's being sarcastic.

I thought he was imitating Riot. And a very good job at doing it I might add.

Good to know.

That's right - those "Muslims" are all alike. Just like Christians.

:rolleyes:

Brains of self-identified conservatives: fear, anger, aggression
 

Conservatives Big on Fear, Brain Study Finds

Just to be clear, I fully support woman's rights, and am appalled and angered by people who kill any child due to sex, be it in Afghanistan, China, Darfur or the United States. Cannon and Dell are trying to imply I would think otherwise. Sad they are like that, and would lie and say such a thing.

You are a simpleton.

You are an idiot. So? You and Dell implying there is any way whatsoever I would justify killing children, is indeed a lie, especially when you imply I have said things here I never, ever have. It's abhorrent of both of you. You should be ashamed. That you are not says alot about each of you.

A. This doesnt deal with killing children.
B. You need to brush up on the definition of a lie
C. You need to get a grip
D. I didn't imply YOU said anything. You assumed that I did which really says all you need to know.

I was quoting Dell. And you are still implying that lie, above, that I would somehow justify killing children. How pathetic and lying of you. There is no body on this board that would ever, every justify killing children. How very sad of you and Dell, that you two immediately and sarcastically turn the subject of killing children into attacks on other posters' views. Disgusting.

Are you drinking? Who said anything about killing children? How pathetic to accuse us of saying something that we clearly did not say OR imply. You are usually intolerable, now you are simply delusional.

Why don't you and Dell just apologize to the board, for interjecting your sarcastic and pathetically non-funny comments on other posters into a thread about the horrific killing of a child by it's family?

Or maybe you can try and explain away, by calling other posters names, why you even thought it appropriate, in a thread about killing children, to make your initial sarcastic, nasty post?

Pathetic. You and Dell should be ashamed. What a gigantic fail on your parts.

Someday women will gain equality world-wide....someday but not today!

Not in a world where some men like Dell and Cannon think it's a subject to use for joking.

Let alone as even the article says, "Boy babies are traditionally prized much more highly than girls in Afghanistan, where a son means a breadwinner and a daughter is seen as a drain on the family until she is married off. Even so, a murder over the gender of a baby would be rare and shocking if proved true."

Rare and shocking occurrence in Afghanistan. How about that?

i hope so. just seems when you read stories such as this that it's still a very long way from happening. too far. the attitudes towards the female in so many parts of the world is simply unconscionable and appalling. even here you still see too many reminders that not everyone thinks all are created equal.
bad enough that a man would think it acceptable to kill his wife for giving birth to a (gasp) girl, but to know his mother was in on it. absolutely beyond words how disgusting.

Stop your whining and fake pity. You inject yourself into every thread, taking offense at anything you dont like, calling others out for doing what you yourself regularly do, putting yourself directly in the center of every "debate" so everyone has to bow down at the feet of Riot. You don't like our posts than refute them, ignore them or google away trying to find a link that will distract from the topic at hand...

Yeah Dell and I are the bad guys...us men joking about killing women...ha ha ha...

I guess you missed the bolded part. Sure in a place where boy babies are TRADITIONALLY prized more than girls it is stunning that this happens. Let's keep acting like WE are the bad guys here...

who brought up killing children? the wife was killed; i think the two daughters are with a relative. the monster in law is in jail; the husband is on the run.

:tro::tro::tro:

Your accusation that my concern over this murder is "fake" shows the shallow man you are.

I wasn't the one that brought my name up in this thread.

I wasn't one of the two immature boys - that would be you and Dell - that decided that immediately injecting nasty sarcasm and joking into a thread about murder was appropriate.

So your little lecture on me posting is rather an obvious fail.

If either you or Dell had any sense of decency, you'd apologize to the board for your trolling.

As I stated in my original post, let us remember that next time some self serving, America-hating buffoon reminds us that we shouldn't impose OUR standards or morals on other cultures.

stories like this always make me glad i'm where i am. i cannot imagine having to be covered head to toe, not to be able to drive, to go out...to have acid thrown on me if i dared go to school...or to be thrown on a funeral pyre with my dead husbands other 'possessions'. the actions the world over are just unbelievable. makes me wonder if we really are out of the dark ages.
so much of it has to do with trying to keep power; after all, you keep the women down, that's half the population right off the bat that people don't have to be concerned with.

I'm sorry that you aren't intellegent enough to understand my original post. There are places on the internet you can post where things will be spelled out in a simple manner for you. All you have to do is read the script given and walk in lockstep and you will feel so good about yourself. Try Dailykos.com or Occupy.com. Things are so much simpler there, everyone has the same common enemy and you will be among friends.

That is the key right there. Most of the things done in the name of religion (by terrorist groups) have nothing to do with religious beliefs but with gaining and maintaining power. Perhaps this specific incident has nothing to do with religion or anything but an idiotic husband spurred on by a insane mother. But there are lots of places in that region where this kind of treatment of women is tolerated, often in the name of a religious law.

I'm sorry your and Dell's self-absorpsion immediately turned 'Zigs thread about the horrific murder of that woman into post after post of you being venomous and hateful.

Your blaming me for your behaviour and postings here just shows the quality of the man you are :tro:

You and Dell have fun hijacking threads for your sarcasm and hate of others. Your repeated demonstration of your narrow-minded intolerance of any view that doesn't agree with your own hate and anger is sad. It's what you are.

We are just like your hero Bill Maher...

You have become a caricature of yourself. Perhaps you need a PG1985 style timeout so you don't become a hazard to yourself?

Don't watch Bill Maher. Can't stand him.

Really - your repeatedly stated false assumptive prejudices about other people seems to prove the point about those very small amygdalas.

Science. Gotta love it :tro:

oh yeah, the use of religion is another way to hold power. helps explain why the church was so against the printing of the bible in a language that the peasants could understand. why, they might just read it and try to make sense of it themselves! can't have people thinking now! lol seriously, the teaching/belief in free will used to be heresy, a punishable offense. they also used to teach that you weren't supposed to try to rise above your station...that if god wanted you to be rich, he'd have had you born to a rich man. so....rulers used religion and vice versa. all to keep things on an even keel-for the rich and powerful of course.

This is rich. Righteous has gone from trying to mislead others about the content of articles to jumping to conclusions about boating accidents (and trying to politicize them) to presenting scientific proof that she is smarter than those who disagree with her.

I'm still waiting for Chuck and Dell to apologize to the board. Come on guys. Do the right thing.

Another huge internet amygdala speaks :D

You probably need to re-read my post or the article in question, DaTruth. It doesn't even mention intelligence. That's just something you made up. But don't mislead, or anything.

:tro::tro:

Not three trophies? He's slipping.

Yet I'm still able to spot a fraud like you with little effort. :D
