OH COME ON.
An appeal court in Saudi Arabia has doubled the number of lashes and added a jail sentence as punishment for a woman who was gang-raped.

Hold the phone... they're punishing the person who was raped?! Forget Iraq, if the US was going to be a bunch of bullies, they should've gone after Saudi Arabia. Oh wait, they'd never do that because Dubya and the Prince hold hands like little girls when they have their visits.

That's just really sickening. It'll probably sound racist or ethnocentric or something, but cultures who treat women that way are WRONG and BAD.

No, it's gross and fucked up and their excuses about being shown up in the media are puerile and idiotic. This after-the-fact bullshit about human and women's rights being one of the reasons we went to war is so infuriating.

ARGH. That's beyond fucked up... I just - no words.

I just don't know what is wrong with this world.
