Mad Enough To Scream - Sick Enough To Throw Up!

I'm reading a CNN article about a 10 year old that has divorced her husband and was then required to pay him $200.

Child bride gets divorced after rape, beatings

When you read the article, be sure to read the comments, also. Sprinkled in with the comments of disgusts from concerned readers (Muslims included), you also bump into some that want to educate us on media bias.

RANT MOMENT: OF COURSE THERE IS MEDIA BIAS, BUT I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ONE SINGLE, SOLITARY, WHINE ABOUT MEDIA BIAS BECAUSE THE MEDIA DECIDED TO COVER A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT THAT ALLOWS AND ENCOURAGES THE RAPE OF SMALL CHILDREN. I AM SICK OF PEOPLE TREATING WOMEN AND CHILDREN AS IF WE ARE EXPENDABLE.

I am so furious. I can barely see straight. Now, the father of this child is upset. Why...because the husband of his 10 YEAR OLD CHILD, promised he'd wait until his child was 20. Yeah, right.
In a country where they had the presence of mind to LOWER THE LEGAL MARRIAGE AGE A DECADE AGO, SO THAT IT WOULD BE BELOW 15, I FIND THIS AN UTTERLY UNACCEPTABLE EXCUSE.

What the #$!%? News stories like this are bad for my blood pressure. If the CHILD'S husband had beaten his dog, AMERICANS WOULD BE IN AN UPROAR DEMANDING GEORGE W. BUSH, THE POPE, MCCAIN AND OBAMA, make a statement, demand action, etc, etc, etc.

But, it's okay here. It's OKAY FOR A MAN TO SHIP OFF HIS CHILD TO BE A MAN'S WIFE.

SAD! SAD! SAD!
