The entire world is still at one another's throats and the next world war could be just around the corner. Pull your new age head out of the clouds. What did you give me: three minutes to answer your post before declaring victory? You're a real idiot.

"I just gave you a huge example of the japanese vs american in the last big war , mortal enemies that now are fast allies that have great love & respect for each other now , without God's help ." Great example! Civilized humans understand that fighting and discord are unpleasant and harmful for the most part. As we stand on the shoulders of civilization and experience we codify our behaviours and interactions with more respect and more regard for human rights and freedoms--and even human DIGNITY. Such civility was impossible to primitive cultures who did not understand their commonality and who considered themselves almost as different species.

Another life destroyed by great moral teachers overflowing with love and justice and reason... Today in awful: a 16-year-old Moroccan girl has reportedly committed suicide after being forced to marry the man who raped her. There is absolutely nothing good about this story. According to The Delta Herald, the young woman was raped by a man 10 years her senior last year. The family brought charges against him, and, after intervention from the girl's family, the man's family, and acquaintances of both families, a judge decided that instead of subjecting the man to any form of legal punishment, it was probably a good idea to force the two to get married, man and victim. According to Moroccan penal code, a rapist who marries his victim is exempt from legal punishment. As a result of the crime, the girl was rejected by her father and forced to live in the home of her rapist. And last week, she ended her life by eating rat poison. jezebel.com
