• Child Brides & Outsoursing Woes

   

  Right Wing Christian Nutjob Entry of the Week:

  Exodus 22:16
  “If a man seduces a virgin who is not pledged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the bride-price, and she shall be his wife.
  Exodus 22:15-17 (in Context) Exodus 22 (Whole Chapter)

  Golly, it’s too bad I’m not looking to get married, because I just found the perfect website to snag the perfect bride.  www.marryourdaughter.net offers a full range of underaged girls to do with what I please.  For a price, of course:

  

  With a simple click of a mouse I can propose to my “Sweet 13″ and live happily ever after.  Just listen to these fabulous testimonials:

  “Thank God for your site!  Our daughter was really nervous walking down the aisle, but she seems okay now and the money we got let us keep our farm and even add on a few acres.”

   —Mrs. Addrien L.

  “At first we were worried that Janine was too young to get married, but then her new husband bought her a house and a car and jewelry and the money we got let us buy a house for ourselves.  Getting out of the trailer park at our age was the best thing that ever happened to us, and it’s all thanks to Marry Our Daughter!”

  —Mr. Jack M.

  “I was SO scared getting married so young, but my husband is an okay guy and I am SO proud that because of me my parents were able to get their first brand-new car and take the trip they always wanted to.  I couldn’t have done it without your site!”

  —Katrina K., married at 14

  “Our 15 year old daughter Mary wasn’t very popular and did nothing but mope around the house bringing everybody down, so we decided to marry her off through your site. Now our house is a lot cheerier and we love our new swimming pool and Jaccuzi!  We’ve told our youngest that when she turns 15 we’re going to marry her off too!”

   —Mrs. James P.

  “My mother thought I was getting ‘too frisky” and that I had to get married right away before I lost my purity to some high school boy.  Marry Our Daughter found me a husband and my parents were able to keep their house and pay off my mother’s medical bills.  I was so glad I could help them, and being married at my age (I’m 16 now) has a lot of advantages, like my own credit card!”

  —Nancy A.

  Did you believe what you just read?  If so, you’re not alone.  Luckily, this website is not real.  It is simply  one man’s interesting attempt to draw attention to inconsistancies in state marriage laws.  What’s fascinating though is that it’s not too “far out” to be believable.  When you consider movies like Jesus Camp and events like Purity Balls, is this really a stretch?  (Especially for the 50% of Americans who voted for Bush!)    There are intelligent people who will look at this website, and think it’s real, and that’s what’s scary.  When this type of thing is fathomable, we’re all in trouble.

  Hello “Jaron” (if that’s your real name.  Why do I have a feeling it’s Patel??),   OK, I’m REALLY getting irritated here.  You told me someone would be calling in the next 48 to 72 hours, 2 WEEKS AGO!  The only person who called was some crazy woman in India (I asked), trying to SELL me a warranty on a DEFECTIVE machine that I told you I wanted to RETURN WEEKS ago.  I have called your Customer “Service” only to be transferred FIVE times, and HUNG UP on by someone foreigner with an accent so thick I couldn’t even understand them.  Outsourcing American jobs during a time of war is tantamount to TREASON.  You should be tried for war crimes you greedy corporate behemoth.   You have sent UPS to my house THREE times now, with NO explanation of what they are here for.  NO ONE from Dell has contacted me as promised, regarding this return  I’m ready to call my credit card company and dispute the bill for this piece of crap computer you sold me.  I always loved Dell and always loved your customer service.  I recommended you to my friends.  Now you’re just like everyone else, selling computers that catch on fire, and investing in 3rd world economies instead of your own.  You should be ashamed of yourselves.  How do you even sleep at night?  I DEMAND a PERSONAL reply to this IMMEDIATELY (if not sooner).  If my complaint is not resolved, I will call my credit card company, the Better Business Bureau and other online feedback sites, and post this letter on my blog which gets more hits than your lame website that’s down half the time.  It’s time to FIGURE IT OUT Dell, and quit treating your customers like the garbage you sell.  You represent the worst of corporate America and you disgust me.  I await your reply. Carey
