A great majority of the child marriages involve girls and adult men. Such a sexual relationship would often violate statutory rape laws, but ...

You're a decoy :mad: Welcome back :noob: Back to neurology again, no more rotations for a year or so, which is both sad and relieving.

About a third of these children were wed to someone over 21 years of age but it's difficult to determine exactly how many of the marriages conflicted...

I have no major principal objections to harmonising laws governing age of consent, statutory rape and marrying age, but I find it worrying that you...

Oh great, American imperialism is going to fix all problems all over the world so we don't have to worry about our daily lives. Guess you can...

It's not like one of us studies violence for a living or anything. Or actually knows some recent history. It's also odd that you refuse even the...

I'm pretty much convinced that Loki's been indoctrinated enough that it doesn't matter how many more Islamic Terrorist attacks occur, he'll never say...

Going by the article, they're actually sexual assault. And a wedding ring doesn't prevent something from being a sexual assault, even if incredibly...

Oh well, if you think I've jumped the shark I'd really better rethink things. Oh wait, no, the exact opposite of that...

It's interesting that you mention the Saudi regime. That regime has killed far more people by bombing Yemen than ISIS has anywhere outside of Syria...

You just jumped the shark.

Well ... yes.

The article states that some of these marriages would be statutory rape ...

So as an atheist who thinks religions are fucked up, basing the law on religion is doubly fucked up and abusing girls and women due to religion is...

It's not something I *really* want, no, but it's better than May.

Interesting to note that those brands of violent extremism tend to remain local rather than being globally exported. There are plenty of disgusting...

Chrome quietly updating extensions has become an annoyance. I used to like that updates just happened without being told, but now I believe I'd...

Loki, I'm ashamed of you. None of those are going to be in a position where their adherents might target Hazir. And isn't that what matters when...

Decoy! Welcome back! :) And I actually remembered to watch the 24 Hours Nürburgring this year. :D :up:

Your point being? Is any of those extremisms exported all over the world with the help of an extremely rich theocratic regime? I suggest you view the...

Lib/Lab/SNP coalition surely, if not just a Lab/SNP. Is that something you'd really want, a coalition of Jeremy Corbyn and Alex Salmond?

Have you not seen how Buddhism is used in Myanmar? Or Hinduism in India? Or Christianity in the Balkans?

In a recent yougov poll, Labour have narrowed the gap to 5%. More fallout from the Tory 'Fuck All the Things' manifesto, most likely. Lib/Lab...

I'll agree with you, Aimless but. . . let's not pretend all the irrationality and poor decision-making is on their side and not yours. The most...

Yeah I've played this and basically no other videogame for the last 2 years. Love it. Wish I was better at it (Silver 3 in Hero League)

I remembered that this place exists :)
