    Is Rape justified in a marriage?

    Spin it however you like Tasha. Under Sharia raping your wife is a contradiction of terms. It is impossible because any and all sex with your wife is legal even if you have to force her. Sharia justifies rape in many ways not just within the bonds of matrimony. Zina laws are designed to allow...

    Is Rape justified in a marriage?

    According to my research on this topic marital rape is an impossibility under the Zina laws interpreted by any of the 4 different schools of Sharia. According to Sharia a man cannot be guilty of raping his wife. He owns her.

    Why Do Men Oppress Women?

    I believe it is because women hold the power over creation itself. The roots of our patriarchal societies depended upon a male to male lineage. Men cannot with any certainty know if their offspring are truly theirs so they attempt to control this situation through domination and oppression...

    Do you tell children that Santa is real?

    Care to elaborate? You misunderstand (seems to be a recurring problem). I am not advocating "brainwashing" your child. I am telling you that a child will emulate the beliefs and ethical system of the adults he/she respects most in the world. This is usually their parents. This is unavoidable...

    wikileaks ?

    Are you saying Wikileaks has stopped releasing these cables in order to use them as a bargaining tool in Assange`s prosecution?

    Do you tell children that Santa is real?

    Yes, I know. I`ve raised three of them. Do you have a point? Oh trust me, I`ve read this thread. I`ve read it well enough to know you`re in over your head. Care to actually reply to my point? In your own words for a change perhaps. Why is it wrong for a child to believe a parent...

    Do you tell children that Santa is real?

    No way around it, a child will emulate that which he/she respects most. The best you can do is mitigate the process. Perhaps some people simply do not wish to lie to their children. Lying to your children about reality weakens them. Why purposely weaken your child? As for "tagging" the...

    Wikileaks Founder Jailed in London!

    It may be. Encrypted data and it`s accessibility isn`t an area I`m very knowledgable about so you may be correct about it`s legality. It just doesn`t seem to me that it should be illegal considering the method of distribution.

    John Lennon! You are NOT Dead!

    I would ask you the same thing.

    Wikileaks Founder Jailed in London!

    Are you kidding? You can bet good money MasterCard,Visa and Paypal are taking them seriously. Not to mention that Swiss bank, I haven`t even heard if they`re back online yet. There are a couple Swedish police stations and at least one Swedish prosecutors office taking them seriously after the...

    Wikileaks Founder Jailed in London!

    The really funny thing is that the way our government is handling this situation shows absolutely clearly they have no clue what they`re doing. You cannot stop content from spreading like a sentient virus once it`s been put out on the web. If and when you do try to stop content once it`s on...

    John Lennon! You are NOT Dead!

    I don`t recall him torturing animals. "Wrong" comes in all shapes and sizes. One "wrong" is not equal to another "wrong" simply because they are both "wrong".

    Wikileaks Founder Jailed in London!

    I was just kidding. I don`t have the knowledge or resources to even know where to begin with such an undertaking. I don`t think it could be considered illegal though as Wikileaks uploaded the file and invited anyone who wanted to download it. If someone out there cracks it I can`t see...
