This money for services idea really cheapens the concept of marriage, and ultimately will lower a person's self image. The whole purpose of intimacy is to have not only sexual relations as a couple by giving yourselves to each other, but also on an emotional level which cannot be purchased. Very sad state of affairs.

Are there any current battles or wars going on that don't involve Islam??? What does that tell you??? Islam cries out the loudest when "civilians" are injured or killed, but they have no quams with injuring, killing, kidnapping, or rape of civilians themselves. They talk about hypocrites and infidels, they should take a good look in the mirror!

I think Israel has it right...Iran is an extremist state, and Israel has much to fear from them.

Life is difficult in Japan for any foreigner. The ingrained discrimination against even permanent residents is flagrant. I have seen marked improvements over the last 3 to 4 years in the government system and in the financial sector, but by and large, if those who are legal residents have these kinds of difficulties, then refugees must have an extremely difficult time just trying to survive in Japan. Introspectively, surviving with dignity would be an impossibility.

The parents of this young girl should be charged with child endangerment, abandonment, neglect, and mental cruelty. They deserved to be jailed more so than they boys who raped this poor girl. Don't misunderstand me, those boys should be sent to juvenile detention and be taught proper respect for women. In modern efforts to neuter western society, proper respect for women is no longer being taught to young boys. This is a big mistake, and the western cultures will certainly suffer as a result.

TheQuestion...what you say makes no sense at all...we are still putting people in harms way whether the military or a contractor. If the contractors are so much better equipped than our armed forces, then why not hire them to fight the war??? (mercenaries) Again...it is moronic to hire people to do the Job that our military could be, and should be capable of doing.
