[QUOTE="Engrish_Major"]What a backwards place.MrGeezer

Hey dude, I don't know where you live, but I live in the USA.

And if you live in the USA too, you aren't really one to talk. People here are still passing legislation to force creationism into public schools and to deny the validity of science. And I'm talking about public schools funded by taxpayer's money.

Exactly, teaching creationism is just as bad as legalized rape

Are you serious? Really? Did you just say that? Those things are waaaaay different. Legalizing rape is WAY worse than teaching creationism to our wifes. You are telling me teaching children something you don't believe in is worse than making women in a country slaves to their husbands? Wow.

Both are equally bad. I'd like to know who develops all these ancient laws and then force the mon us.

You can blame Jesus, your creator and savior for that.

Or let's think about it long term. Don't think about it as "teaching creationism", think of it as "trying to drag our country's science foundation back into the dark ages".

How many lives stand to be lost by legalizing rape? How many lives stand to be lost by creating a culture which relies on mysticism rather than empiricism for knowledge, and which shuns the goddamn foundation of modern biology simply because it is deemed offensive.

The people opposing evolution are fighting a holy war. They want to destroy science in order to please their god, and they don't care how many people suffer and die as a result. They want no less than a return to the dark ages.

Yes theocracy is bad and yes religion has bad effects but I don't think that pushing for a school board to teach something is the same as a "Holy War" At least not with hundreds of people getting killed or RAPED. Your being a tad extreme. Teaching a idiotic theory just because a couple of fundamentalists think its right is NOT the same as saying that RAPE is okay. Both are bad but they are NOT equally bad. The rape legalization is FAR worse at the moment. Religion can have adverse affects but at the moment this is far worse and its foolish to think otherwise. (yes i know this stems from islamic extremism but you know what i mean) The christian right movement in this country is far more milder and has FAR less a body count than this situation involving suicide bombers and the violation of human rights going on over in Afghanistan right now. Sure the Christian Right's war on logic and reason stands to POTENTIALLY drag the states into the stone age but what matters right now is what is CURRENTLY going to affect people in this case WOMEN in the Afghanistan. This will harm them now while the Christian right movement can only harm to the same level POTENTIALLLY. See the difference?

[QUOTE="pvtdonut54"]Is Afganistan becoming more primitive?foxhound_fox


It is. The Taliban want the society to function like that of Mohammedan-time Mecca/Medina. And the supposed "democratic" regime in "power" right now only has control within Kabul. The Taliban still control most of northeastern Afghanistan and nearly all of northwestern Pakistan, in the Swat region.

wait, you think at the time of muhammad SW it was like this?

[QUOTE="Fkid"]Hey foxhound, I agree with you for the most part. I believe this rape law is primitive and backwards for any society. My question for you is what do you think about the idea of religious circumcision. I would like to hear your opinion on this.foxhound_fox


Is this an attempt to troll me? Or do you not actually know my position on circumcision in general? :P

All circumcision should be left up to the individual themselves. No one else has any right to cut off a part of another person's body without their consent. Both male and female circumcision that is forced upon children by their parents, whether for religious or medical reasons, is wrong. I'll just leave it at that.

Interesting... I would assume you to be a person that preaches about 'strict' equal rights, which is nothing wrong IMO. I am all about equal rights. The funny thing though is I am circumcised, not of my will but by my parents. Though, I don't harbour any ill feelings towards them.

I am an asian living in North America and in our culture back home, it is looked down upon if you are not a circumcised male. It sounds messed up if you are not from our culture, but in ours, it is perfectly normal. It's a rite of passage for men. In fact if you proudly proclaim you aren't circumcised, you be laughed and sadly, the chances of a girl will going out with you is slim.

Our culture does not see this as a violation of rights. In fact, mentioning this issue with a fellow man, and they will look at you funny. Most men from my country are proud that they are cut. It is only when I came to North America, that I found out that this act was barbaric. Of course, I was definitely surprised.

My question to you now is, are you the kind of person to denounce our culture traditions as barbaric? If there comes a law that outlaws such procedures, would you support it?

This is a very interesting topic for me and I'm not out to flame or criticize. I just want to share opinions on this matter with people who don't share the same traditions as me.

Sorry for going off topic. I am with you though against these rape legalization. I think its cruel.

Military isn't the answer. We have to kill the problem from the roots, teach the students a more Liberal interpratation of Islam.

well, what if there is a group ofsoldiers on patrol in Afghanastan who hear a rape happening? of course they are going to prevent it and or stop it (most likely). You cant just ignore a rape If you are morally obligated to stop it.But teaching a more liberal interpretation may also help.
