Yes, because unlike the age limits you gave examples of, marriage (especially in cultures that employ arranged marriages) is permanent. In terms of assault laws, that falls under hurting another person (though there are laws for self-defense). Prohibition of substances are too broad as some are banned for their actual risk, and some are banned due to political and social reasons.

Made them harder, good luck :)

No, that's a middle name. :] My initials are CAMP CA = first names M = middle name In my family, only my mom has a single first name.

I use invisionfree for a forum, but I use my own domain with it

I have two first names o:

Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone. But I got hooked on when I got the feeling of how vast the Middle Earth is or how rich the history Tolkien made it to be.

"Freedom is a point of view"

I think those are mostly pedos. I never understood that since she's about my age (only a few days older than her), and I can safely say that girls as pretty/prettier than her aren't exactly rare :|

Same here.

My culture not have anything against arranged marriage. My culture doesn't preach 'oh [cabbage], arranged marriage is wrong.' I developed this viewpoint on my own. Anyone who's not brainwashed into thinking so can clearly see the lack of freedom. Freedom is not something contained in one culture. edit: grammar

^ Take the offer. The forum is a bit messy :P

I still can't believe people are still pulling the 'it's THEIR culture' card. Who gives a flying [bleep]? We're here to discuss anything, there shouldn't be a taboo about it.

Yeah, sorry. No point in talking to you about this

I paid for an HP movie for the last time. They cut off so much crap from the book that I can't imagine how they will translate the Order of the Phoenix into a movie. Does anyone know of a romance flick coming out this year?

I'm sorry if this is a bit offtopic, but I don't want a whole new thread for it so... Does it matter what high school you come from? Does the university care about whether your high school has a 'better' program? Or is it all about marks?

Yeah, that's expensive considering mine was about 1200 CAD with about twice the specs of that :\

I never said arranged marriage is slavery, it was just an example. Besides, I don't need a definition to tell me that they both lack freedom.

I hope you know that I'm only toying with you. I don't even know what we're arguing about rofl

So are you saying that even after a few people want to increase the quality of the threads here in OT, you want to counter it with worthless crap?

LOCATION != CULTURE It's not complicated, oh wait.. Because it's 'culture.' Just because it's still around doesn't make it any better, just makes it even that much more ridiculous. Besides, brainwashing does have a pretty long term effect... You're Arab right? Practicing arranged marriages isn't unheard of. You're bias, sorry. I on the other hand have no reason to be bias. I'm not a 'Westerner'

How many TIF posters does it take to screw in a light bulb? 5. Just one person to put it in, but the other four would have to unscrew and screw it back for good measure

I made this thread because I remember a Hindu seminar I took a part of. I wrote something along the lines of 'arranged marriage doesn't deserve to exist now, it belongs in the middle ages.' Teacher was pissed off :lol: Good thing we don't get marks for that

Threadstarter isn't a Westerner, barbarian I'm sure one of us has had an ancestor who's tradition is to enslave someone. Guess what, it was thrown away because people don't like it

If a dog showed a violent side, it's irresponsible to keep it alive
