When Al Queda in Iraq leader Zarqawi was killed this last week, his second wife and 18 month old son were also killed. Zarqawi was born in 1966, making him around 40. His second wife was 16, making her 14 when "big daddy Z" got her pregnant. Zarqawi was a citizen of Jordan by birth, however his choices of brides may not reflect all of the poeple of Jordan. Also this week, there were also peaceful protests for women's rights in Iran. Which were put down violently by the Iranian police. If telling the truth that women are treated as second class citizens makes me hateful or discriminatory... then so be it. Katherine Lester, being 16, seems to be a prime canidate for "victimization". 387244@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 Jun 2006 20:32:17 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/10/164824.php#comment-386847 Greg, if you have something intelligent to say about women's rights in the middle-east, I'd love to hear it. If you'd like to comment about women's rights under Islamofacism, I'd love to hear it. If you have something intelligent to add to the topic, please do. Actually, if you have something more interesting to say other than accusing me of "discrimination and hatred" please do so. Otherwise, move along. 386847@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 Jun 2006 09:56:45 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/10/164824.php#comment-386845 It is a news worthy day when the comments mentioned have the propensity to reach into millions of homes and countless lives. Not all ivolved in these senceless acts can claim to be unaware of not only the danger yet also the descrimination and hatred that knows no borders. 386845@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 Jun 2006 09:49:27 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/10/164824.php#comment-385927 I agree that first and foremost it is the responsibility of the parents to "parent" a child. It doesn't take a villiage to raise a child, just two people paying attention to said child. 385927@blogcritics.org Sat, 10 Jun 2006 22:45:55 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2006/06/10/164824.php#comment-385924 I've written (and blogg'd) more than once that anyplace kids hang out unsupervised, the freaks will soon show up. It doesn't matter if it's Myspace, Chatrooms, or the back-ally . Of course, every time something bad happens to an unsupervised kid, the parents blame Myspace or "the interwebz" or whatever.. parents need to take some responsibility and supervise their children! 385924@blogcritics.org Sat, 10 Jun 2006 22:44:13 EDT
