“You say that you have a custom of raping young children in your churches. The rapists should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law instead of your churches hiding and protecting the criminal priests.” - Anon.
They are not my churches, and most of the “young children” were teenage boys. But absolutely - they should be, have been, and will continue to be prosecuted.
But maybe burning widows is a good thing. I mean it has a long history, and not once in India was there a rebellion of widows against it./s
“My fellow Indians and I and our attitudes toward the people who surround us. It's the way we consider our fellow citizens. It's the attitudes that permit a grown man to believe he can rape a 5-year-old and insert objects into her vagina. It's what allows cops to imagine an acceptable response to this outrage is to offer the family 2,000 rupees—less than 40 American dollars—to go away, along with the reminder that they should “be grateful your daughter is alive.” It’s what governs the thinking of judges who, in deciding rape cases, advise the woman to marry the man.”
And...
“Or when the lawyer for actor Shiney Ahuja had this to say in court about the woman who accused Ahuja of raping her: “She belongs to a lower caste, which is aggressive by nature, and she wouldn’t have submitted herself so easily. They are known for being aggressive.””
By all means - let's promote the caste system - may as well bring back phrenology as well! Both have the same amount of scientific justification - none.
Ah, the moral equivalence game. Another hallmark of the liberal-minded.
