Yes. Generalizations, which in the end do no good nor are realistic. It's what fuels division and conflict.

I was referring to accidents being caused on purpose with the hit person(s) ending up dead--sometimes shortly after impact or eventually from the result of injuries after lingering in the hospital and merely dangling onto life by a few threads or drips of saline, etc.
I've read/heard too many of those stories to find them just coincidental in the timing of the person getting seriously clobbered and ending up DOA or soon. Depends on what organ is needed that gets taken. Hearts are usually busted, so it would have to be another healthier organ, perhaps unaffected by the (so-called) accident.
Originally posted by SGalisa View PostI think you need to separate the person(s) from the documents written. Once you do that, it is how the documents written are heeded to and lived in accordance by that determines the end outcome -- not the person born into that religion or culture, unless that person believes it is acceptable to lie, murder, steal, break all of the standard laws of the constitution as well as ignore even 6 or 8 of the Judaeo-Christian Ten Commandments (different "god"/laws written to obey to).

That's the way I am, always have been. So, in retrospect, it's only taken me about a thousand different ways to say basically the same thing, until this one rephrasing of it all finally reached out and *touched* you?

Today's standards claim that most adults consummating relationships with children as young as ten is a matter of being a pedophile.
Originally posted by Falcon Horus View PostAgain, today's standards are not applicable to those 1000 years ago.
I never really thought child brides were an issue, until I heard about the weird purification ritual that is practiced among some African and Islamic people. There have been numerous reports that anesthesia isn't even used when removing / cutting out certain female parts as some sort of superstitious belief that it will protect the future female from committing "sin," which is apparently labeled as some other name in those other ethnic groups.

We know what causes pregnancy. And it's really, really easy to avoid becoming pregnant/fathering a child.

To paraphrase a quote from the original Star Trek episode, "A Taste of Armageddon",
We can admit that we have sex... but we're not going to have sex today. That's all it takes! Knowing that we're not going to have sex - today!
