Well it makes one think that while the Temple Bar thing is disgusting, these girls showing their bits while lying in their vomit are indeed very civilised - when compared with these murderous barbarians of this poor girl in India.
I'd rather raise my children in the middle of Temple Bar than set foot in a place where people readily murder their children to keep up some twisted honour code. I'll take my chances here any day.

The girl in temple bar acts like a dog. We are no more civilised than them. It's a perception that most in the west have, we are civilised while those in the east are barbaric... it's bullshi!t.

No, the Pope isn't causing AIDS to be spread by this at all. If people really cared about the Papal ruling on condoms, wouldn't they also care for the papal ruling on premarital sex?

N.B I'm not a Catholic, but I agree with the Pope on this one, with the exception of banning condoms for sex within marriage.

Look at the author of that article, he is full of crap: "Austen Ivereigh is a Roman Catholic journalist, commentator and campaigner. "

I agree 100%. We dont have the best record with religous persecution ourselves and Im not talking long ago either. I think one poster mentioned the magdalene laundries, christian brothers etc.

Im not inocent of having bad perceptions of eastern cultures. Before I became good friends with an indian guy I had a similar opinion myself. Through many long conversations with him about the differences and similarities btwn our cultures that has changed somewhat. Im going to try keep a more open mind in future.

Have to say hearing of attrocities like this doesnt help but cant tar a nation with the one brush

Censorsh!t

Reminds me of the book "the bookseller of kabul", except worse

How ignorant? Just because an article is written by a Roman Catholic it's a reason to dismiss any explanation that is given?

Poor Girl. Burnt to death. Terrible

RIP Poor Lil Girl.

Of course.

Don't you know that black people never mention slavery, and that there are no Jewish Holocaust scholers?

Temple bar, between 1 and 4 on a friday or saturday night. Girl in mini skirt lying down, for all to see her bits, in her own vomit.

How the fook are these even comparable?

Honour killings are strictly a Muslim thing?

Hardly, it happens with Hindu's and Seikhs too.
