That is one of them, yes. There are a few more, but marriageable age is just the age of majority, of independence from their parents. That is not 9. In no culture I am aware of, is that 9. 1. We know that the Quran says marriageable age is when they display "sound judgement", that's the o...

Child marriages are actually expressely forbidden. Young women have to reach the age of maturity before they are married (or at least a marriage consummated) which was typically around the age of 13 in the ancient world, but the exact wording means "capable of sound judgement". Are you re...

Note that they were talking about raising the marriage age from 16 to 18. The marriage age is 16 in most of the US and a large amount of Europe. On paper, sure, but the law is only as effective as far as it is enforced. More to the point, it appears that the main thrust of the bill was making child...

Yeah, any punishment would have just pissed a lot of people off. Why drop it? Because for those guys, there's just no bad publicity. Even pricks turn into arseholes after death didn't hurt them that much :D Pricks turn into top blokes. It's a funny situation, the Chaser boys are pretty much immune t...

Damn. After all these years he's still using the "you are not a good person" ad-hominem argument. Does anyone else find it difficult to watch these atheist vs. theist videos? It's so fucking frustrating that I rarely watch through to the end. I mean, people actually cheered when Comfort sa...

In MGS 1 when you find out that Gray Fox killed Naomi's parents while she was a child (Naomi thought Snake killed them), and then adopted her because he couldn't bring himself to kill her too. Then Snake, against Fox's dying request, doesn't tell Naomi about it. Then he rides off on the snowmobile w...

I thought C&C1 was much better with Kane. He came across as being an intelligent leader who was quite ruthless. I cant recall him doing anything like the speeches he was giving out in C&C3. For what little we see of hime he is polishing his gun or telling you to do X and Y. I agree. In the ...

Huh, what a coincidence. My uncle got raped by a ram, and now he speaks fluent Kiwi.

I wanted to do some form of engineering, and I live in an area surrounded by coal mines, so mining engineering it was.

You've got to love the irony of commanding your followers to beat up people for being immoral.

[quote="Stark"]Funnel webs don't go very fast, but unlike most spiders will actually attack you: they don't bite once and run away, they'll bite as much as they can - I dimly recall some guy getting bitten hundreds of times by a bunch of funnel webs hiding in his pool filter. It's not a re...

Incorrect. Ask any Australian where you are most likely to find Huntsmen and you'll get one fucking answer. Inside. Sure, some of them start outside, but when was the last time you saw a Huntsman outside? They only seem to head indoors when there is rain coming, from my experience. They're no big d...

This is the same doctor who delivered my older sister when she was born 25 years ago. Holy fuck, I can see how that'd be disquieting...glad this sick fuck's tastes only ran to adult women, and he didn't do anything to your mother. I spoke with my parents about it last night. Reeves was in charge of...

Would this be a big deal in most countries? The media here totally forgot about it after a day or two.

Did that magazine cover REALLY say Soviet Victory? If so we might have more space missions if you recall Yuri's revenge. So I guess... the timeline goes like this? Allies win RA1's WW2. Allies win RA2's WW3. USSR wins RA2:YR's Yuri-War, using the Time Machine? If you finished the Soviet campaign, y...

Most people I've spoken to fit into one of two camps. One, that they don't really care since it has nothing to do with them, and two, that they are glad it's done and it should have happened ages ago. My grandparents are the only people I know that think it was wrong to apologise, and that it opens ...

That there is no afterlife.

That way, they might actually focus on this life, and on making it better.

Really before they had a Bible, oh grow up Wong, before they had a Bible tthere was likely at most a few decades, depending on how long it took Constantine to get the books of the bible selected. How the fuck a group that went from powerless minority to having a bible and being in power was suppose...

Out of curiosity, (and being a non-German speaker), what exactly is so hilarious about this? "Arbeit macht frei" figuratively means "work will set you free", and was the slogan of nazi death camps. It's not supposed to be funny at all, but some people are laughing at her stupidi...

Damn, I can't believe she laughed so hard. Usually when that shit slips out, you go "oh shit" and don't talk for a while. That gave me one of those awkward feelings reminiscent of when Bert Newton completely unwittingly referred to Muhammad Ali as "boy" when he was standing right...

Cyrillic really isn't an issue - it has nearly 1 to 1 mapping to the Latin alphabet. Its a one afternoon project to get basic proficiency with it and then just reading a book or two to let it sink in (well, it is if you understand the underlying language). And Russian is by far not the worst of the...
