How is an Afghani going to starve his wife? I doubt he even knows where the kitchen is...

In reality it is quite easy. There are normally extended families where the mother in law would love to harass the daughter in law into the same life she lead.
I guess this is where the US comes in guns blazing and eagles crying?
I wish it would work that way.Denbrought said:

Curse the men having nothing close to removing sex as a form of punishment

I'm not surprised by this. It wasn't that long ago in Europe (only 50 years in fact), when priests would look down on childless families and social pressure was on the wife to have children to the point where the priest would actually come around the house to ask the wife what the problem was (it was always assumed it was the wife who was reluctant). While there was no such law, the pressure of the community was just as severe. Both Catholicism and the Islam want a family to have as many children as possible after all but this is a damn crude way to go about things and it's going to get a lot of misuse and abuse.
Old news is old. had this debvate on Facebook 3 days ago.
That said, I do really love the new, modern and westernized government you guys installed. Really, awesome people. remember, these are the progressives you're helping over there, fighting against the Taliban. Whoopdeedoo.
Anyway, the law itself is just plain nuts by our modern standards.

Well 3 days isn't as long as a story that's, say, a few weeks or months old. And anyway, "old news is old" is a terrible thing to say. Can you imagine shutting down everyone who learned something after you? No one would ever converse! It's that kind of attitude that makes more timid children in classrooms fail to raise their hands! :waah:

Damn you Bubble, you're slowly but surely killing education! When we're as old as Dave there'll be no one to support us, just a load of uneducated timid folk, never daring to make a decision. Put poor Bubble in a home? Hmm, not sure, let someone else decide.Cajungal said:

Oh, well in THAT case...Bubble181 said:
As I recall, Karzai has been democratically elected by the people of Afghanistan, but that news IS over three days old, you know. In any event, we're not too thrilled about this development ourselves. Believe it or not, they are better than the Taliban. At least they're not going around whipping people for laughing in public. Now, the question is, does this development say more about our strategy in Afghanistan, or a culture in which this is considered in any way "progressive?"Bubble181 said:
You could've left out "by our modern standards" and been just as accurate.Bubble181 said:
*sigh* Why do people read "old news is old" and think this means I think it shouldn't be discussed anymore? I only wrote it because this forum tends to be pretty quick, and this was brought as "the big new thing", while, you know, the forum was "beaten to the punch" as far as informing me goes. It's not, in and of itself, a bad thing. It's a useless bit of side-note. If you can't read the phrase ithout thinking I'm seriously going "Oh, this, pfuh, old! Man! Have you seen the game today?", you're nuts. Not my problem (I'm pissy today, can you tell?)
And no, Armadillo, I couldn't. Culturally speaking, this sort of laws aren't all that rare, and in many historical cultures they'd have been perfectly fine with this. In the Incan empire, the Roman empire, heck, 19th-century southern USA, China easily into the 19th and even 20th century, some places of Africa still, and so on, and so forth, people wouldn't call this law or something similar wrong or nuts, at all.
Back off topic: Mr Chaz; good, at least I won't get put in a home.

Because it brings no merit to any conversation and is generally a very dismissive statement.Bubble181 said:
1. it is not just a dismissive comment, it is a douchey comment.Bubble181 said:
2. alien did nothing to, "[bring] [the topic] [up] as "the big new thing"" that is something you are projecting.
i dont know how to explain this... here is a situation. two office workers meet by the water cooler:Bubble181 said:
"Hey Jim, didya hear? Jane down in accounting had a baby!" the first coworker says.
a normal person would say
"Yeah, great news, isn't it?"
whereas you are saying
"Pff, Will down in accounting told me like, 3 hours ago. Get with the times."
really? because "Oh, this, pfuh, old! Man! Have you seen the game today?" is exactly what you come off like. here is another example.Bubble181 said:
two men are in the subway. one pulls out his cellphone to check the time; but as the cellphone has lost reception, it wont display anything other than "searching for network"
"Hey buddy, you got the time?" he says, turning to the second man.
"Go suck a donkey dick you faggot." the second man says before pulling his arm out of his sleeve to check his watch. "It's 9:35"
when the first man recovers a little bit, he asks why the hell the other guy responded so rudely. The guy pulls his sleeve down again, shrugs, and says "It's a useless bit of side-note. If you can't [hear] the phrase ithout thinking I'm seriously going "i want this faggot to suck a donkey dick", you're nuts. Not my problem".
then, because this example does not take place on the internet, guy 1 fucking decks guy 2 for being such a douchebag.
