Depicts an 11-year-old Afghan girl seated next to her 40-year-old fiance:
The girls’ parents told reporters they had arranged the engagement because “we needed the money.” Asked her feelings about the engagement, the girl said, “Nothing. I do not know this man. What am I supposed to feel?” Half of all Afghan girls are married before they reach 18.
Can you link to the image source? I'd like to see a larger version.
I thought that was taken upstairs at the Capitol Club. My bad.
We should invade that country to liberate their women! Whoops...
Another fine example of how a culture driven by religon is just a sick thing to put children through. Catholic priests banging 12 year olds and Muslims fucking 11 year olds.
Religon in poison. God is made up to give the priest class power over others.
She'll live.
Mr. Poe:
Is that enough?
I thought we were supposed to celebrate diversity.
The War on Marriage continues!
Hot damn! I hope I look that good at forty!
@7
Thats only when it comes to different cultures whose first means are to kill you and each other.
I agree JTC, it does look like the Capitol Club. Smoking has been banned on that balcony, correct?
But to my main point, what is the purpose of PERMALINK on the Kiley post below? I'd like to comment without having to go to the godawful Lineout page.
The poor girl looks just how she should look, disgusted and frightened.
In my worst nightmares I would not want to sleep with that man.
Diversity is fine but old scary looking pervs, NO WAY!
Relax, mj. She'll be lovin' it when that spider forest is tickling her peach fuz.
Done - the image on RHRealityCheck was larger than the source, so I linked that, but the source is available there.
Note to self. Never hire an Afghani interior designer.
Lucky man.
Sorry for #13. That was almost as tasteless as owning a poodle.
14: I don't think that's the link you meant to use.
At least the 40 year old knows her pussy will be nice and tight. And that is what you straight guys want right?
Well actually Mr. Poe, that may be the only thing she does like ; )
the bike master plan was the source of your afghan pedophile picture?
So much for saving yourself for marriage.

@18
Plus it's broken. When you fix the space, you get this.
Zzzzzzz.
Isn't this the same country where parents send children out to clear minefields, because they're more expendable than the livestock?
@25, you are thinking of Iowa and Nebraska.

Truly Traditional Marriage: Or, Women as Property
Let's see if I've got this straight...cheap opium, cheap pot, AND 18-year-old virgins?? Shit, I'm moving.
Most of you are assuming the man is the bad guy. He's probably gay and hates the system too. Heck he's 40 and single? The evils of Religion as has been stated is to blame.
He kinda looks pissed that he has to babysit.
I think they make a beautiful couple. Aren't weddings romantic?
@30,
Is he actually single or does he have other wives?
Anyway, this is hardly news in any third world hellhole. It's not like the girl has any other options. She can either marry a creepazoid now or wait a couple years; the result is pretty much the same.
i think i saw this movie.
everyone's jumping to conclusions. maybe he'll wait until she's older (like 15) to consummate their union, and will just use her as an unpaid household servant until them.
you can always find a bright side!
Yes, @34--I just don't remember Hugh Grant having a beard in it.
this picture is a total lie. This is obviously a screenshot of Super Mario Brothers 2 from the old Nintendo. That guy is toad and the girl next to him is the princess. He has the toad mushroom hat on.
