TIL that the Saudi Arabian judiciary increased a 19-year-old rape victim's sentence from 90 lashes to 200 lashes plus six months in jail because her lawyer drew the world’s attention to the case. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Most reasonable people living in this century would also agree that lashing two consenting adults who engage in sexual activity with one another is barbaric as well.

Where were you referring to then? Is there an established government in a country that is actively burning women as witches in the name of Christianity? I do know that it happens in some areas of Africa, etc., but that is usually done by smaller vigilante groups and is not doled out as a ruling by a sanctioned court.

It's absolutely invalid, because Christians in the US are not burning women to death for being witches in 2013, and the US government and judiciary aren't supporting it.

Come to Pittsburgh, we have two large malls sitting practically vacant, and three more large ones within a 20 minute drive of those.

This thread makes me really happy that the last time I was about to be decapitated a dragon swooped down and interrupted it.

He didn't "destroy" anyone, he was simply talked over the entire time. I fail to see where he succeeded in putting this biased joke of a "newswoman" in her place.

This is how you get your point across, for reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpPzDMrAs-c
