A real man would die before selling his 7 year old daughter's as sex slaves. This mindset isn't compatible with the western mind.

And an important point the author seems to purposely have avoided in her advocacy piece:

How do they choose? If you have a Downsykid and a pretty girl, is there any money for the Downsy one? Are you stuck selling the pretty one to pay for the Downsy one? That would kinda suck.

Even setting aside the fact that this is an abhorrent thing for a father to do in any culture, most of these “men” voted for this by refusing to stand against the Taliban while the rest of the world tried for decades to force them out.

Sometimes you only get what you’re willing to fight for. They didn’t want to fight for a proper country, and they don’t want to fight for their daughters. These “men” deserve the deepest kind of contempt and nothing else.

What the father is basically admitting is if he had the means he'd buy someone else's daughters.

They might be remedial, but at least they are evolving in the appropriate direction.

Anyone remember the dancing boy threads from previous years?

BBC management should be sold as sex slaves.

Animals. Cant believe we imported so many of them


When you come to understand the motivations of those who support importing these animals then you’ll see the why.

What I'm seeing is this journalist seeing exactly what's transpiring in front of her and letting it happen, she literally saw these girls getting sold into slavery and writes a boohoo piece about it


Keep in mind that progressives are supposedly staunch feminists.

Had this been Christians, this article would have called it out for the autrocity it is, but since these are progressive allies in the war against the west, we write articles excusing it.

Progressives are pure evil. Period.

So I’m amazed when I see these stories. These people that have so little are giving up the very thing that means so much to them. The only thing they have of any value.


The truth is that selling children into slavery due to famine or poverty is an ancient practice that has been around since antiquity. It’s happened in nearly every civilization and almost all of us are descended from survivors of this practice. Doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a fricking barbaric practice and has no place in modern society though.

Oh, absolutely. I saw it firsthand in Isan, Thailand…..the poorest part of the country. One daughter - although older -can support a family for decades.

Up there, you can make $75 a month at the factory or make $75 a night in the big city sleeping with some old farang.

It’s sad but these are the decisions truly poor people have to consider.

Islam is a scourge, but then again, most religion is. Islam just happens to be the worst one at the moment.

I want to see the follow up doc showing the massive feast he'll have with his remaining family and how fast he'll burn thru that money.

Yup. Never underestimate what people are capable of in situations where they’re extremely desperate.

Abdul tells us he is willing to sell his girls for marriage, or for domestic work. "If I sell one daughter, I could feed the rest of my children for at least four years," he says.

due to the culture's indifference to children.

Which, historically speaking, is most cultures and most of mankind, save those "infested" by Christianity. The 4 gospels are full of examples of Jesus elevating children (and women) in a way no other culture has. But the left wing doesn't want to hear that.
