13-year-old rape victim stoned for 'adultery' in Somaila

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I like the Pete Townsend line "faith in something bigger" so I've lived my life that way, since the mid 70s

he did write:
"faith in something bigger
faith inside us all"

but then, he'd never driven to Motherwell for 18 years, WTF does he ken!
I try to have faith in humanity; I must admit that incidents like the one I describe in the first post test that faith...

Re: 'doing something': we have groups like Amnesty International to get involved with, one person may not be able to do much but collectively a large group can make a difference.

After reading that article, I was horrified. I guess I should be grateful that I live where I do. At least here, rape victims aren't stoned to death. What truly boggles the mind is how she was executed while a man who killed someone was set free for the price of 100 camels. WTF???? :roll:

As Bill Hicks said, maybe it's time for the human race to evolve?
