The universal meaning of marriage you say? Many cultures have a different view on what should happen in marriage, my uncle comes from Syria, things like that often happened in his hometown, girls being wedded early, not being beaten / raped by their husbands. When I asked today what is often expected of husbands in these young age relationships is that they wont have sex with the child till she is an adult. Instead he will provide a home, safety and financial security for her, in return he would expect a clean house and a meal ready when he comes home, when she becomes of age they will then have children. He said what happened in the article was disgusting and even having sex with your underage wive would be shunned upon in Sharia regions.

Quest Cape is NOT one of the third easiest to get. You can get Thieving and Firemaking much faster. He was talking about the Firemaking hood in his inventory, obviously meaning he has 99 Firemaking. 7/10, a 99 is hard but fletching has really lost most of the "respect" that comes with a 99.

Huh? Political correctness is disgusting No, I said what the husband did was disgusting, beating and raping the 10 year old girl, the reason why I wouldn't blame the parents is it's in their culture for them to wed of their children early, not for the husband to beat the married girl.

What the husband did was disgusting, I wouldn't blame the parents for this or the local culture / Sharia law. It's in their culture and normal over their to wed off their children early, it creates less of a financial burden for the already most likely impoverished parents. The only person I think the blame can be put on is the husband, quite disgusting that he would do such things to a 10 year old girl.

I wouldn't considered it justified considering the IRA were fighting in area that was taken from the native Irish 300-400 years ago but officially in 1922. The IRA were a guerrilla warfare freedom fighting (or terrorist group, depending on your views) force fighting against a foreign army who occupied lands which were rightfully Irish. At it's height in the 70's the IRA had 7000 active members, could you justify invading a country to try and stop 7000 poorly armed volunteer freedom fighters (or terrorists depending on your views), I certainly couldn't, not invading it on the level America invaded Iraq anyway. Putting in the small amount of troops that Britain did I think was clever, but they weren't very efficient in combating the IRA. And I don't see how your situation relates to Chechnya at all considering Russian troops go into Chechen towns, murdering men, raping women, torturing all and extorting money out of anyone they see. The British army didn't do the latter 3 anyway.

Yes I do, and I don't see how that changes the circumstances. Civilians have been maimed, killed and tortured in that region, worse than what was often going on in Iraq against the Sunni people, yet it seems America has done nothing to try and prevent it. You seriously think America should invade Russia? are you mad? Hypothetical situation. Say if George Bush all of a sudden decided he wanted to get rid of the state of California through force, killing, torturing, maiming and extorting people for no apparent reason. Wouldn't you want to be saved, wouldn't you call for help? But then of any possible country powerful enough to help wont help even though they claim to be making the world a fairer and peaceful place, wouldn't you find that a contradiction? I don't think they should invade Russia, I just don't think they should make claims that they're making the world a fairer and better place for everyone if they will only help certain areas and not others.

I'd be pretty bored. Instead of watching TV I usually play internet games, most of the time RS. I'd also have much less information available to me for school projects and no porn to...........ye.........you see where I'm going with this.

When you're starting out at Dirt jumping (That's what I assume you're talking about lol) go for flow instead of complex tricks. A smooth / well done line looks so much nicer than a sketchy line. When you have it going good for you on a certain line then start throwing around some tricks. Good luck with it, great sport : Edit: Since you asked for a story, me and my friends built a 14 foot drop onto a pretty good landing. The wood we used to build it with looked fine but turned out it was so rotten the inside was nearly hollow. Anyway after watching my friends doing it for about 30 minutes I decided I'd tried it even with a dodgy wrist. Rode up to it, and Karma being the [bleep] she is decided it'd be a perfect moment for the supports to break. Fell 14 foot landing on top of my right shoulder and dodgy wrist, dislocated my shoulder and broke my wrist while getting a mild concussion in the process. Morale of the story, always check the wood to be safe and wear pads. If I wasn't wearing my helmet the doctor said I could've been looking at serious concussion / light brain damage :o

Because after Bush claimed there was masses of WMD's there and their objective was to dismantle them / destroy them, yet this turned out to be false, if I remember correctly not even 1 WMD was found by coalition forces. Their second objective happened, the overturning of Saddam, also the most remembered image of Iraq was of the American tank pulling down the statue of Saddam in Baghdad. This often made people think that the coalition force's prime objective was to overturn Saddam.

Don't see the point of a rune pure anymore due to BH levels and you'll be quite below the second crater max level when you get 99, nice achievement anyway, 7/10

You do know Chechnya is part of Russia right? Yes I do, and I don't see how that changes the circumstances. Civilians have been maimed, killed and tortured in that region, worse than what was often going on in Iraq against the Sunni people, yet it seems America has done nothing to try and prevent it.

It's not against you lent, it's more again George Bush's claim that the American army is in there to free them from a tyrant and them let them live in a democracy and the others who love that opinion in this thread, if this is true, why haven't they entered Sudan? Why haven't they entered Chechnya? Why haven't they entered areas where there is so much worse genocides and civil wars going on? 2 things these areas have in common, the civil wars / genocides going on there were worse but neither area were abundant in oil.

Did you read the table on the bottom of the amount of civilians killed by cluster bombs? Certainly amounts to more than 1.

Source on your miraculously low claim of 1000 people? as this site begs to differ {source}

Exactly. Either way if a person is intent on killing another person then it will happen, that's why America has so much gun related murders as there is easy access to guns and that's why Britain has so much knife related murders, since guns are hard to access they use knives instead. It's just easier to kill with a gun, you can hit them from a long distance and often it only takes 1 well placed bullet to kill someone. If a person wants to kill someone, then that person will get killed with some form of weapon, whether it's legal or not.

And us British / European people could read American headlines and see "Another killed in gun related gang violence" and argue that the legality of guns worked out well, overall it's a [cabbage] argument, no side can win in it.

There are plenty more with most of their family killed due to Saddam's genocide. He was a tyrant, quite expected that something like that would eventually happen, what shouldn't be expected is the force "freeing" you bombed your house, killing your family, friends and blowing your limbs off in the process while leaving unexploded bombs basically on-par to grenades lying all over the local area.

y u no [bleep] bsc anymor? :cry: Grats, a well deserved amount of drops after over 2.5K kills :

Well done : It's always nicer to see someone do it the slow way instead of power planting "exp" seeds. 10/10 \

Very well done Tones : I tried creating a F2P skiller / pray pure. I got to 60 WC and got bored of slower training methods and full spots. 9/10, good luck on your next goals \

How the hell did you get 267 total levels in 5 days? If you truthfully did 8/10, if you're lying 0/10, nothing cool about lying :

Surgical might have happened, but they also used cluster bombs. There is plenty of people in Iraq missing limbs now from unexploded sub-cluster bombs which can testify to this. And yes the American government is a bully, "quit your nuclear program or be bombed". How can they call North Korea and Iran to end their nuclear program when America still has thousands of nuclear warhead based weapons stockpiled waiting for the ultimate war.

The most commonly used bomb in modern warfare is of a cluster bomb type. Basically it detonates about 200-400 feet over the ground, throwing smaller pieces of explosives into buildings / the ground while showering the area in molten metal. These bombs can cover the distance of 3 football fields in one explosion. Not only will next door be harmed in the bombing, but most likely the majority of the block. Cluster bombs also leave a huge amount of undetonated explosives left over, these explosives often look like tinned food so the hunger ridden Iraqi citizens are attracted to them, when they try to open them they explode, often resulting in serious injury (limbs being blown off) or death.

People don't have this problem in other countries, unless 'rural' means really really really far away from the nearest police station I don't see why America should be any different. And hey, who cares about protecting a few possessions, if legal ownership of guns causes so many problems and so many deaths? Exactly, very few countries where guns aren't legal have gun problems like America do. Most guns aren't legal here in Ireland, only hunting guns like Rifles and Shotguns are. The average farmer owns a shotgun to protect themselves from thieves and wildlife attacking their livestock. The last notable case I've heard of where a burglar was killed in Ireland by a farmer protecting himself was over 2 years ago, the last farmer killed in a break in with a gun carrying burglar was 3-4 years ago. Yet at least 3-4 deaths happen in America in these circumstances each week. Anyone want to counter-attack that with "guns make us safer" crap?

Everyone should have some form of right to defend themselves but many take it to far. I'll try to find the source but I remember reading a article incorporating a poll where the majority of people who voted stated if a person entered their home, they would shoot to kill instead of to incapacitate. This poll was taken in America. I don't see why the common person can't fire a warning shot. Any person clever enough will run as soon as a warning shot is fired, if they don't it is then a matter of life most likely and ok to shoot to incapacitate as your safety is at risk. This is quite often where to right to defend one's self is abused, people shoot to kill, that isn't defending yourself, that's eliminating the threat completely. A shot to the leg will most likely render the aggressor incapable of walking.
