Iran Is Arresting Models Who Pose Without Headscarves On Instagram (bbc.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The Tehran cybercrimes court said the country has arrested eight people working for online modeling agencies deemed to be "un-Islamic." The women models were arrested for starring in photos on Instagram and elsewhere without wearing their headscarves, which has been required in public since 1979. A total of 170 people have been identified by investigators for being involved in online modeling, including 59 photographers and make-up artists, 58 models and 51 fashion salon managers and designers. The court's prosecutor Javad Babaei announced the the threats on TV, claiming modeling agencies accounted for about 20 percent of posts on Instagram from Iran and that they had been "making and spreading immoral and un-Islamic culture and promiscuity." He added, "We carried out this plan in 2013 with Facebook, and now Instagram is the focus."
Iran wasn't so stuck in the past. But then again we have Mein Trump today so it can happen anywhere.
Perhaps some enterprising Persian can invent headscarves that look like... hair.
All it seems to exist for is as an excuse to exercise control over people's lives, and as an excuse for violence. My philosophy? So long as you're not breaking any laws or causing anyone else harm, do whatever pleases you. Why does it have to be any different than that?
I fell for the lurid description and clicked the links, but the girls in the photos all had their scarves on :(

If you kiss a girl on the street, you could be arrested...Go figure.
No, what I think a fair portion of them want is to return the United States to something like Pleasantville.
Are YOU using the TOOL, or is the TOOL using YOU? Think about it!
We should make an islamic instagram app that automatically superimposes hijab/niqab on all females in a given shot. Hek it just removes all females from pics. Also it additionally gives men long beards and a unibrow for extra piety points.
H
Don't listen to him. Trump will make headscarves illegal! Make America great again!
Of course, Trump, like the Iranian theocrats, also happens to believe that most women are absolute shit.

to turn the comments into a hate filled racist cesspool?
There's no reason at all for this to be here. Just because it says instagram doesn't mean it's tech news and you can troll with this crap.
Stick it to the Man, ladies! Wear a face-concealing headscarf in a nude photo. Then sit back and watch as hilarity ensues.
That is a totally legitimate statement and can be supported by dozens of direct quotes, right, Hillary fanboy?

Regarding theocrats, see patriarchy. In fact, I can't think of a single theocratic country that is run by women...

It's about time those sluts got what they deserved. Showing their hair to strangers!? The decadence!
What's next? Horses eating people? The absolute moral decay of civilization as we know it? Thank Allah for you, moral police, leading us into a brighter future since 1979.
That the Islamo fascists are going to try to kidnap and "re-educate" models who they think are former iranians..
That is a good way to get killed by 20 fucking steroided out body guards with nothing better to do.
It turns out that "Republicans" is a very large set of people, and they don't all agree with each other about what they want their country to be like.
The same goes for Democrats.
In both cases the groups wind up polarizing on political extremes, because that is the "drift" that they all have in common. This is very unfortunate, since extremes in either direction tend to be harmful, and this polarization leaves no room for moderates.
Cops in the US will arrest women for going topless in public. What's the difference?
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
You are drawing some very unfair parallel between Trump and the Iranian theocrats. Trump has a big mouth, he is equally a jacka$$ to men as he is to women. But he is not for honor killings, stoning rape victims, etc.
Iran should think about joining the 21st century in policy and laws before they adopt 21st century technology.
If they want to live in the year 600, they shouldn't be wanting to use the internet and technology in general.
Both of those regimes are/were messed up in their own special way.
It's too bad that sheeple put up with such tyranny, in either case.
Where are we going and why are we in a handbasket?
This smacks of Islamophobia. Let's not forget that Israel, a free, egalitarian, and democratic society in the region, is oppressing everybody just by existing. Islam is the religion of peace and Muslims are our friends! Keep your focus on the real enemy.
It's a big ass world and Instagram pretty much covers all of it.. so where are they going to stop?
It's all fun and games until women are literally subjugated.

You are welcome on my lawn.
I saw this news earlier on Google News and Yahoo! News and some other places. No offense but, is this really Slashdot relevant? It's interesting news, sure, but what is still separating Slashdot from any other news website anymore?
Trump is the creation of people like you, that called every mild person you disagreed with Hitler, and thus were all vanquished.
You got exactly what you wanted, all of the mild people banished, and replaced by hard men and women who punch back twice as hard when challenged because it's the only way to stand up to people calling you Hitler - they obviously will not listen to reason, only louder bluster.
It's obviously what you wanted as you worked so hard for this to com to pass. Strange that you sound unhappy.

I can't think of a single theocratic country that is run by women...
True, but theocracy has a few downsides as well.
Women are property with no rights, gays should be stoned to death, people who leave the faith are executed by family members. This is what life is like in Iran since the Islamists took over. This is what Islamists want for the world.
But for some reason you gullible westerners would rather get outraged at keeping boys out of girls toilets. You almost deserve it.

It's called the Streisand effect. Facebook will also allow those dissenters to wage a campaign of civil disobedience, when the campaign gathers sufficient support. That may also cause Iran's ban on Facebook to actually be enforced by technological means.
He is for torturing the family members of suspected terrorists.
Oh sure. THAT we don't bomb, Saudis stoning them we don't bomb, but let a couple of women go to university and all of Iraq must be airstriked to the stone-age!
Why would you say that is what "Islamists" want for the world? Because the news told you?
Your myopic view is worthless.
People below a certain class are all considered "property with no rights" (according to the simplistic definition you imply) in all present societies (that I am aware of).
Your entire point seems built on the assumption that somehow things are fundamentally different on the "Islamist" world (whatever that word means).
Can you support this?
I doubt it. "Women are property with no rights, gays should be stoned to death, people who leave the faith are executed by family members". It is exceedingly easy to find parallels for these in western society. Just because the penalty is abstracted beyond obvious death doesn't mean its just as bad, so to speak.
IF what you claim is true, all that can be said of it is that "Islamist" nations people are executed by the community, and in the west people are left by the community to execute themselves.
doesn't mean its *NOT* just as bad*
Nope, Pleasantville is WAY too liberal for them. :(
I wish I was joking.
You're going off topic here. This has nothing to do with lgbt or any of that. In fact, I believe I've seen something saying that they are jailed or executed in Iran, but that isn't the subject. It's the Iranian government fining or arresting people for posting pictures of women without head coverings.
Try to stay on subject, and not blasting out your own personal political rants on other topics. It's not a 'feminism' thread, it's a 'Iran is Violating Human Rights of Women' thread.
Fuck Iran, fuck islam, & fuck these stupid ass muslims with their bitch ass "rules"
He also publicly said that women who get abortions should be punished.
...a Muslim led country that has western values in terms of how it treats women and non-Muslims?
Why would you say that is what "Islamists" want for the world? Because the news told you?
No, because the leaders of those savage countries have said it. Go look it up for yourself.
Your myopic view is worthless.
Yes it is. Again, go find out about that prison for the mind for yourself.
People below a certain class are all considered "property with no rights" (according to the simplistic definition you imply) in all present societies (that I am aware of).
No, they aren't. They really aren't.
I doubt it. "Women are property with no rights, gays should be stoned to death, people who leave the faith are executed by family members". It is exceedingly easy to find parallels for these in western society. Just because the penalty is abstracted beyond obvious death doesn't mean its just as bad, so to speak.
What the hell are you smoking? Parallels in western society? That crap is in their law. In. Their. Law.
IF what you claim is true, all that can be said of it is that "Islamist" nations people are executed by the community, and in the west people are left by the community to execute themselves.
Nice stretch there. Wait until your daughter is forced into a burqha, the girl down the street is flogged for daring to ask to attend school and bacon is off the menu in your country and then tell me again how terrible western society was in 2016.

Wait til the women start 'Bobbit'ing the men. Stupid radical islamic fucktards, keep this up and people around you are going to R E B E L against your idiotic rules and practices. Wait til you've been emasculated and placed in the stockades for anyone that wants to, can come by and shove 2x4s up your asses sans lube.
This is the trash that is being imported into europe and and if you even complain about it, you are the bad guy. Islam is a disgusting joke and so is the governments of the european countries importing that shit in.
This is what an actual war on women looks like.
Insulting a woman doesn't make you a woman hater.
You're a fucking moron. Not because I hate men, but because you are.

Step 1) Elect Trump
I guarantee you that, all other things being equal, when men are making the decisions, the wearing of high heels as compared to flats, long hair as opposed to short, skirt and/or dress as opposed to pants, hosiery as opposed to no hosiery, makeup as opposed to no makeup, clear skin as opposed to visible tattoos... those things will in general result in more immediate hiring, faster career advancement, more pay, and better customer relations. As men's taste's change, the sorts of things one might accurately list will mutate slowly, but you'll always be able to fill it various do / don't items based on the current set of men's tastes. Because sexual attraction is a thing, and sexual plumage is a thing, and trying to separate those things from everything (anything) else is a hopeless undertaking.
So here in the USA, while no one (okay, not a lot of someones, relatively speaking) is forcing a female to dress that way, that's not the same thing at all as there being no pressure (or inclination) to dress that way.
No one says you have to answer when opportunity knocks. No one is likely to say anything. Opportunity just goes away quietly. And there is no law that can prevent this, nor will there be, until we can read minds. And if / when that happens, other problems will loom so large as to make this one seem utterly insignificant.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
I am not at all in favor of Iran's culture.
However, the fact is that "rights" are those local things (generally nationally local) that someone is willing to put force behind to ensure. They are not some inherent, holy set of things that descend with banners waving and gilded choirs singing, no matter what anyone tries to tell you or wants to think.
Further to that, national borders put an extremely hard stop between what one set of willing enforcers will defend, and what other sets of willing enforcers will defend.
When said levels of defense are limited to articles in foreign press and hand-waving on Internet discussion forums, the odds of changing anyone's mind about any of this are approximately equal to the effects of contrary opinions across a Democrat / Republican divide. Which is to say, scarce to none.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
There's no similarities to Hitler and Trump whatsoever.
You think anybody who refuses to give you free college and medical care as Hitler.
What color are your petals?
Iran should give these women a few scarves instead of arresting them. If the scarves go with the shoes, the women may wear them.
If a female goes outside in the USA (and many other places) without a top on, you'll get to see repression of an exactly similar nature.
Probably shouldn't be feeling all that superior to Iran, really.
Just a matter of degree.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
Yes, but also in Manhattan, there's this.
And of course there's that whole "can't show up without your ladyparts / manparts covered" feature of our society as well. And this "you have have sex for free, but you can't sell it" bit. And the "you can drink your liver into oblivion, but you can't smoke pot" thing. And so on.
We're plenty good at oppressing our citizens. But, just like Islamists, we have... "reasons." So it's okay.

The Sunnis are aghast!

He added, "We carried out this plan in 1013 with Facebook"
FTFY.
Oppression of the adult, informed individual is bad. If it's wrong, it's wrong. You don't get a pass because you're not quite as much of an asshole about it. Nor if there are other areas where you are just as bad, or worse.
The US exerts oppressive coercion - which is another way to say violence - across a long list of issues that bear upon informed personal and consensual choice. Some of them with huge official penalties, some with less. Any that have legal consequences echo strongly into other parts of life, such as employment, acceptability as a tenant, where you can go to school (and who you have to tell), that sort of thing.
Insofar as there is a defensible intellectual path for where the government should step in, it always comes down quite precisely to informed, personal or consensual choice. Only a legal system that actually has that straightened out has any leg to stand on when it comes to issues like these (and that would not be the USA.) As to whether a country with that well in hand (I'm not aware of any, someone might be so kind as to point it / them out if such exists at this point in time) has any right to impose that upon another country... that's a very nasty can of worms. Best you can do without effectively inviting them to change your own rules and regulations is to restrict trade, tourism and immigration.
I've fallen off your lawn, and I can't get up.
Have you missed the reports of the total surveillance state? Have you not bothered to imagine the possible uses of this data? Have you not bothered to draw any judgements accordingly?
Do you not see the racial and economic discrimination in the justice system?
Do you not see the media inundating our children with violence and sexuality?
What does the law matter? Life is a function of society and law is but a subset. One civilization may manifest directives in law, another may manifest them in culture, yet the directives may be very similar if not fundamentally identical.
Perhaps you live comfortably and close your eyes to tyranny, but others are still suffering without hope.
The great failure of the middle class is in their proclivity for assumption about the lives of others. They have the resources to find out the unseen the truth, yet do not use them. They have the experience to feel the truth, yet choose to forget it. And so all hope for freedom dies in their hands unheeded.
Most people have no hope to truly contribute to society, to make anything original or innovative. They have no opportunity because they are not nurtured with resources and discipline. The lower class receives only discipline, and the middle class receives only resources. A similar scheme is found everywhere. Within the fundamentals, the discipline enforced by "islamists" and the west is the same: unconstructive pruning of behavior to keep the commoners in line with the interests of their rulers.

Somehow, I think it's possible to have a negative opinion of both.
In fact, Iran is in an odd position. They'd rather that homosexuals get 50% free sex changes.
Oddly, that's the most progressive policy on the planet next to folks serving life in California. But California is a silly place, not unlike Camelot.
oh im outraged. i know what you are talking about. its not just what islamists want. its what most muslims sort of would accept, as long as they arent inconvenienced. sort of like how germans turned a blind eye to what hitler did, just to get along. muslims really are a threat, when you combine violent believers, appeasers/co-conspirators like the saudis, and ordinary muslims who feel that apostacy should be punished somehow. very bad religion virus, that.
If you live in the US, when was the last time you saw a woman out and about, without something covering her breasts?
Don't tell me they're repressive because they make women wear headscarves that men don't have to, while in Amerika we make women wear shirts while men don't have to.
It's a double-standard with NO OBJECTIVE RATIONALE. The reason we have it is simply this: religion.
Tell me again how much better and more enlightened Amerika is than Iran?
*sigh* Feel free to wallow in false equivalence.
Why is this country allowed to continue to exist exactly?
is being scrubbed out of existence and re-reasoned, as it would truly be scoffed at.
I've looked for links to what I know so if I ever brought it up I had a citation, yet to no avail. My only source is a National Geographic two cartridge VHS set titled ISLAM that I checked out of the library many years ago. The title might be different I just remember that the word ISLAM was in large bold letters, and how I read it's title, (inside ISLAM?)...
I won't post the story without any available backup source (the cleansing is working). Only that it's worn so the bad angels won't lust after their women, as it had caused a major problem earlier.
We need to define "common" though. Here, since this is a US election, the common is US citizens. We aren't electing a pope or a UN official. The common does not include people from Syria or Mexico.
*sigh* feel free to wallow in your hypocrisy and corruption. Luckily for you it has turned to be highly rewarding.
"Why would you say that is what "Islamists" want for the world? Because the news told you?"
Well in my case it's because people I know who escaped and emmigrated as refugees shared with me some of the scary shit that's about in those places. Is that good enough for you, or do you need a signed confession from their president (who is better than the last guy but still scary). Basically if you're not Muslim your life isn't worth 2c. In reality it seems that many Muslims in that situation are such because it's safer to "keep faith", but the hardliners are very dangerous and twisted people.
"The territorial principle (also territoriality principle) is a principle of public international law under which a sovereign state can prosecute criminal offences that are committed within its borders." [wikipedia]
I would say that those women committed the picture-crime on US-based servers - no against US law. But the policemen viewing the pictures from Iran committed the immoral thing of viewing uncovered "US-based" pictures in Iran - against Iran law. I say let's sue those indecent Iranian policeman!
Well, I've got to get back to work. When I stop rowing, the slave ship just goes in circles.
I thought the Religious Police could no longer arrest people. Was that reversed?
Perhaps some states could hire those guys to prevent people from entering the 'wrong' bathroom...
"Women are property with no rights, gays should be stoned to death, people who leave the faith are executed by family members". It is exceedingly easy to find parallels for these in western society.
Where are the parallels for stoning gays and family executions? We have almost universal equal rights for all and it's only getting more so (despite some individuals opposition)

Don't you just love these backwards countries. I am sure the majority people of these countries would just love it if they could dress how they like and sit on the sidewalk drinking coffee, listening to music, chatting with friends all in a peaceful place without fear of suicide bombs and informants (Ohhhh Look at that female, she is not wearing a scarf, quick call the fun police to arrest her). If only, these megalomaniacs could see the benefits of allowing their country to prosper and compete in the free world instead of living in stone age times and values. People are all the same and should be treated as such. Color of skin, race,creed, disabilities, religion should not have any detrimental value. We are all born the same way, we all eat the same way, we all shit the same way and we all die. No one is different. What makes me sad is that in the name of God who is shown by ALL religions to be peaceful and loving, then why do people believe that you have to kill and torture someone of a different faith in the name of God
But... but... Islam is a race!
Oh, wait...
No, Islam is a religion...
No, it's actually a totalitarian political ideology, masquerading as a 'religion'.
Why would you say that is what "Islamists" want for the world?
It's what Muslims want for the world. Sharia law as set down in the Qur'an and Hadiths.
Here, women are totally free to control their hair
...just not their own reproductive organs. On that point, US conservatives and Islamic Courts are in total agreement.
I know some Muslim women - including some from Iran - at my work. They choose to wear the Hijab here in the states, even though the US is their home. I've asked some of them about it and they've been open about their thoughts on the matter. One thing that surprised me to learn is that in Iran there is no hard set rule of "you must wear the hijab if you are at least X years old" or anything of the sort - aside from a loose guideline of 18. The Iranian I speak with most often (I share an office with her) decided to start wearing a Hijab around age 12.
More to the point though, those that wear it see it as an important part of their faith - being humble in front of Allah. Some Christians wear a cross, some Jews wear a Yarmulke, some Muslims wear a Hijab. I've also noticed that a lot of Hijabs are being worn a bit further back on the top of the head, allowing the women to show some of their hair on purpose.
Iran is certainly an alien place to Americans but the Hijab is not necessarily a terrible thing.
Damn_registrars has no butt-hole. Damn_registrars has no use for a butt-hole.
Mock the law, women in Iran and around the world should shave their heads in protest. If you're in a western country wear an armband so that people know why.
>Insulting a woman doesn't make you a woman hater.
If the insult is based on an innate experience of womenhood then yes, that's exactly what it makes you.

Actually - that sounded mostly like Orwell. It could have come straight out of "The theory and practice of oligarchical collectivism" - which in case you were wondering was a book within the book 1984 about what makes autocratic communism fail to be socialism and in fact turn into a complete disaster.
Actually, you should just read 1984. Then learn that Orwel hated capitalists even MORE than he hated communists, and that he actually fought for the anarcho-socialists in the Spanish revolution - and then read the book again, and you may even understand it.
The point of 1984 is that what the Soviet Union turned into - was never a consequence of it's economic system, but of the rise of absolute power and the surveillance capabilities to enforce that power. His point was that a capitalist Soviet Union would look IDENTICAL to how the communist one looked.
He was right about that. And the USA is very rapidly turning into that vision.
There is just one thing he didn't realize - because he lived in a time when that didn't seem possible anymore - which is that government and corporations would be complicit in the enslavement of man, not one or the other, not fighting each other over power, but the combination of both as an alliance of tyranny. This happened in the early past, the three first corporations to ever exist also had the three biggest armies in the world at the time and actually ruled (as the official governments) more than two thirds of the world between them, with the blessings and support of their home governments. By the 20th century, it looked like corporations would never be THAT powerful again. Today, that exact same pattern is emerging once again.

But for some reason you gullible westerners would rather get outraged at keeping boys out of girls toilets. You almost deserve it.
Why do you think that people can only be bothered by one thing?
I agree that treatment of women as property, etc., is horrible. I also think that we should continue trying to improve the treatment of women and minorities (including LGBT, and Muslims) in our own country. Why should I have to pick only one? And, frankly, I think we have much more opportunity and even obligation to address the problems in our own country than to fix the problems in other countries, so if I do have to pick only one, I'll focus my efforts where I have a greater chance of doing some good... and where my effort or lack thereof will directly affect me.
During the Cold War there appeared to be real reason to be concerned about a foreign entity destroying our nation and remaking us in its own image. There is no fear of that today. At worst the horrors in the Middle East will spill over on us in the form of a few terror attacks (though that seems less of a worry now that the region is so wrapped up in its own internal conflicts), or we'll get some refugees who have a hard time adapting. We can easily absorb both unless we choose to damage ourselves, as we clearly did after 9/11.
Don't hold your breath.
>for stoning gays
Never heard of gaybashing ? It is STILL a common practice.
I've heard of it as in verbal and even physical abuse sometimes, less and less so as the world becomes more accepting and people stop giving a shit about inconsequential stuff that doesn't affect them. But still it's no where near codified murder in a most particularly brutal method. Yes some people are homophobes and some even go as far as to kill but it's still illegal, punishable by law and not accepted by society on the whole.

Iranian strip clubs must be, uh, "interesting"...
Correct! We are entering the era where both woman and man are equal. All the time more examples of women behave as God Almighty of the prophets in the Holy Bible intended from the beginning. We all born naked and there is no shame of it. Adam and Eve were naked until acting against the commandment of God; they tasted the forbidden and suddenly their eyes were opened realizing the truth but it was too late. They got banished the presence of God and that is the state we still live in and humanity got even cursed more since started worshiping man-made god (Jesus). The harmony and equality were gone and their life continued as cursed, which still is the prevailing state of affairs. What is happening already?
”Set up road signs; put up guideposts. Take note of the highway,
the road that you take. Return, Virgin Israel, return to your towns.
How long will you wander, unfaithful Daughter Israel? The Lord will
create a new thing on earth - the woman will return to the man.”
Jeremiah 31:21-22 (NIV)
Or in another version:
“Set up signposts, Make landmarks; Set your heart toward the highway, the way in which you went. Turn back, O virgin of Israel, Turn back to these your cities. How long will you gad about, O you backsliding daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing in the earth - a woman shall encompass a man.”
Jeremiah 31:21-22 (KJV)
“Virgin Israel” - symbolizes the New Israel - the people who call on the true Name of God.
“Set up signposts, Make landmarks;”- so that we may no longer be lost or led astray about the truth.
“A woman shall encompass a man.”-the sign that the promise of God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob will be fulfilled at a time when the status of all women is equal with men.
We can see this happening today through women’s groups around the world who are standing up to claim their rights to be of equal status with men. And now these women under the pressure of the law of Islam are getting out of the box and start breath free. See this interesting deliver:
“Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?” says the LORD. “Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?” says your God. “Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her.
Isaiah 66:7-10 NIV
“Before she goes into labor, she gives birth” - This is not a natural occurrence – this is about a coming event. This is all about the birth of the New Israel, the New People of God.
“before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son.” - symbolizes the calling of Maestro Evangelista when he was called by God to be His prophet like Moses to reveal His great Name. He was the first to become God’s new people. The firstborn of the New Israel of God!
“Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment?" - because when all peoples of the world listen to the word of God that God commanded Maestro Evangelista to reveal through the Bible; accept and acknowledge that God has sent him to proclaim; at that moment, we will all be called by God as His people, His New Israel - a new nation of God!
Did God promise to sent His last prophet like Moses?
”I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.”
Deuteronomy 18:18-19 NIV
God has said before in Deuteronomy 18:18-19, about the ONE prophet whom He will send like
I would think that there is a difference between being in a picture on the internet and being "in public". They're not exactly walking around in the streets.
The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.
This and all the other SJW BS is what the west will be discussing when a mushroom cloud appears over New York or Washington, D.C.
And don't think it can't (or won't) happen. Its too bloody easy to envision one of the Pakistani nukes 'disappearing' and making it's way via cargo container to the target city.
The Islamists frankly have a view of both law and culture which simple is incompatible with a western, democratic, libertarian society.
The quicker we realize this the better. What really saddens me however is that it takes an idiot like Trump to realize this and actually do something about it. Sam Harris is right, beliefs inform your actions, and the extremists are not the problem, the fundamental beliefs of Islam are the problem.
Your territorial principle quote doesn't say say "a state cannot prosecute offenses that are committed outside its borders."
Interesting facts:
The US taxes monies made by US citizens who live outside the country and working outside the country.
The US applies statutory rape laws to US citizens who are outside the country.
Your interpretation of the territorial principle is incorrect.
Which makes sense if you really believe abortion is murder.
This is what you call 'being indoctrinated into a cult' - it's the same reason that someone converting to Judaism "wants" to cut off some of their penis.
Uh have you missed the "family dysfunction" phenomenon? Pervasive single parenthood? ETC??????
The real problem is that we have here people with no tolerance for anything different from themselves unless the state tells them to accept it. People who completely define their identity from a media-mandated template. Robots. Machines made of flesh that are incapable of asking meaningful questions because of their constant distraction with simple pleasures.
What "rights" can such people really have? They have no self-interest, only the illusion of it. All they want is to fit in and they will make a compromise in any category if asked. Just as long is the loss can be assuaged by a flood of meaningless pleasure.
This is western society.
Religion is just a popular cult, cult an unpopular religion. What's your point? They all have their rituals. You could argue that the current "atheists" (I use that because they have bastardized the meaning of the word itself) have their own rituals as well.
Damn_registrars has no butt-hole. Damn_registrars has no use for a butt-hole.
President Obama has guaranteed a clear path to nuclear weapons in only a decade, and to whom Putin is selling advanced missiles to defend the associated infrastructure.
And remember that Obama's own guy, Ben Rhodes, has now bragged they used the stupid gullible liberal journalists at liberal press outlets to mislead the public about this "deal" which was actually with the hardliner theocrats and not with some imaginary moderates.
Nope, never heard of it. Can't be THAT common.
It so common that when it happens, it is international news - as opposed to the ten second blurb on the local news every other crime gets. It is also prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
As a good citizen, I feel it is my duty to offer my home as asylum to International models everywhere.
