Irreal?
Well, read this, and then go on talking.
How sickening that a girl of 14 and younger is considered too young to know what abuse is but supposedly old enough to know what love and marriage means.
ReplyDeleteThere are times one is ashamed to be part of humanity.
When I read things like this I don't know whether to be outraged or cry.
ReplyDeleteEach is as effective as the other. Not a jot.
this post just hits the bullseye. it is hillarious for me, but unfortunately a very sad fact for some people.
ReplyDeleteNice post dear Sean..)

ReplyDeleteGood grief Sean this is an utter disgrace.
ReplyDeleteTo all of you: Sorry in case I do sound like, but I feel the need to answer taciturn, as presently 'Mr. Wrath' is trying to be(come) my advisor, and I am sure he's not a good one.
ReplyDeleteJanice,
yes.
jmb,
spot on!
SH,
thank you. We may not have a magic wand to change insane people's mind, but we should at least speak out.
Let's do it then.
Hans,
thank you, too, my friend.
Let's try to not only be smarter!
What I am wondering all the time is why neither the Turkish media, nor the (Turkish) bloggers would fight back.
Seriously, we should intensify contact.
Cherrypie,
yes.
And we who still have got a glimpse of freedom should start to fight the idiots.
Jams,
it is. And I wish I'd be able to either convince such idiots of their idiocy, or to put them in a rocket to nowhere.
I think the Government ought to castrate the Islamist and his supporters.
ReplyDeleteDisgusting!
