14-year old Pakistani girl activist shot by Taliban

I think being rejected by mainstream religions (like homosexuals are, for example) is a great gift, since it helps one reject the whole hocus pocus and embrace rational thought. It boggles my mind when people reject that gift and try looking for another set of idiotic beliefs just so they can be "spiritual-while-sucking-dick".

Why would anyone need help to say no to retardism? Oh right, they're fags.

Not more retarded than heteros. Just look at the number of Langushites who engage in some form of religious activity.

What's wrong with spirituality while sucking dick? Much better than mmm, this dick cheese gross but so appealing.

[Valmy]

Wait so you are going to embrace rational thought Marty?  Great when did you plan on doing this?

They're moving her to the UK for on-going treatment - and probably safety. Hopefully, her whole family will be going with her.

I'm giving 100-1 odds against her returning to Pakistan within 1 year.

I'm hoping that she never goes back. I know she's fighting for her country to be better, but sometimes, it's better to do it from afar.

If all the people who want to make pakistan a more civilized place make the same choice pakistan will remain a hell hole forever. Competent and hard working pakistanis leave at the first opportunity and that just means that there are no competent and hard working pakistanis left. Exiles rarely change things, it's the ones who stay behind like mandela, walesa, havel, king and gandhi that change the world. If she stays here (in the west that is) she'll be dissident of the month, get some awards and some press and then be forgotten while we move on to the next brave girl fighting oppression.

How about we let her have her first fucking period before we worry about sending her back into the mouth of the beast, eh?

I want her to get back to doing what she knew was right before the western media found out about her. Pakistan needs her.

Agreed, though I'm also not sure I'd agree with his analysis as I think often these sorts of individuals (especially think of this pre-teen to early teen crusader) end up going back as they believe in helping out their country.  See Benazir Bhutto where everyone was like - if you go back, you will die.

Benazir didn't give up on her country. You seem determined to let it go to hell.

Pakistan can wait until she's a little older, I would think. She's only 14, Viking. She has no business walking around worrying about getting shot, hung, drawn and quartered - or worse, being the reason that it happens to her mother or father.
