Subject: RE: BS: 13 year old dad-15 year old mum
yet in some cultures,for example, Africa ,young girls get married at 13.
do you believe ,that our western values should be imposed on them,or should we accept those African values,in the west .,
or should we accept the Taliban values,and chop off their hands for these sexual acts .
perhaps its the fault of the nature of our society,which is geared towards consumerism,and which treats children as consumers ,treats them as a market to be exploited, and encourages children to mimic the behaviour of adults.,well, you will have to change society first ,before you can stop this kind of thing happening .
some Muslims and Hindus are critical of western values , perhaps they are right, however lookin backwards with rose tinted spectacles is not the answer,I can remember ,in the 1960s,underage sex taking place,I wouldnt be surprised if it hasnt taken place for hundreds of years .
