Man Accused of Selling Daughter For Cash, Beer, and Meat

Police have arrested a California man for allegedly trying to sell his 14-year-old daughter into marriage in exchange for $16,000, 100 cases of beer and several cases of meat.

Nothing sad about it at all; this is pretty normal for his culture [mercurynews.com]. He didn't even realize that it's illegal in this country.

Spoken like a true multiculturalist

i.e., lunatic. So by that insane troll logic, women who endure female circumcision are not "sad" because hacking off a woman's clitoris is part of a cultural tradition. Cultures which persecute homosexuals (like Iran, where eve teenage homsexuals are hung) are not sad, it is just a cultural difference. Cultures in which women have no political or legal rights and are essentially property are not sad, they are just different but equal cultures! No, I'm sure the girl was more than happy to be forced to fuck a

I never said that. Please leave, and take your straw man with you.

If you had botherd to RTFA in the link I provided, you would have seen that this story has been highly sensationalized. In reality, it's a rather mundane case of a man who reneged on paying his dowry.

You defended a horrific practice and violation of American law based the cultural practice of another country.

Please leave

I posted in this thread a full day before you did. I was here first. You leave and take your moral relativism with you.

and take your straw man with you.

No, a strawman misstates your argument.

Which is exactly what you did.

This ends our discussion.

A ha!

Typical liberal.

As I just told my GF the other day as she argued the Gaza conflict with libs on Facebook, when you argue with a lib, sooner or later they either 1) call you a name or 2) walk away indignantly.

Take your ball and go home when someone is beating you in an argument. So typical.

Strawman. Or should I say, men, because I spy multiple in that lengthy rant. Before you accuse me of defending an "ass-backward culture", let me make it clear that I do NOT support it. I find it cruel, I find it pitiable, but there's no need for you to go around insulting other cultures you scarcely understand (which is obvious in your clumsily phrased argument padded with various versions of "you are a lunatic").

Before I judge the dad, I'm going to need to know

What kind of beer it was.

Belgian beer, obviously!

Seriously...
