Police stopped a wedding between a 7-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl in Pakistan.
They arrested the Muslim cleric who was performing the wedding. Pakistan doesn’t allow marriage before the age of 18 but some Muslims believe it is ok when the “bride and groom have reached puberty.” Here is the link: Link
What is the youngest age you think marriage should be legal?

Eva Longoria. Wanna be my date to Obama?
8. Obama Rally Ticket Trade — Whatever Your Heart Desires from CA – $1 (Los Angeles, CA)
Reply to: sale-899567662@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-10-30, 1:36PM CDT
I’m
flying in Sunday from LA for the election and would absolutely love to
be someone’s +1 at the rally. I think it’s shameful and very un-Obama
like to sell your ticket to the highest bidder, and it’s even more lame
to try to hold a girl hostage for a ticket so you can get a date. So
how about this for a trade: if there’s something from LA/CA that you
have a craving for or can’t get out in Chicago, I’ll personally
transport it all 2000 miles to you. Sprinkles cupcakes? See’s candy?
Local beer? A cold and probably soggy Double-Double from In-N-Out? If
it’s a reasonable (and hopefully legal) request, name it and its yours.

1. I will give you a KIDNEY for 2 OBAMA Tickets for tonights speech!

good kidneys which is a little excessive. Ill give you one of them for
two tickets to tonight’s speech. I live in Denver and tried to get
tickets the minute they were announced. Somehow the first come first
serve registration did not work since I was put on the waitlist.

A Republican Party volunteer is coming under fire for writing what some are calling a racist email.
He wrote, “car
loads of black Obama supporters coming from the inner city to cast
their votes for Obama.” He went on to write, “This is their chance to get a black president
and they seem to care little the he is at minimum a socialist and
probably Marxist in his core beliefs. After all he is black- no experience or
accomplishments but he is black.” Here is the link: Link
I read that over 90% of black voters are supporting Obama so if voter turnout is higher among blacks then I would imagine that a Republican would be right in assuming their are Obama voters.
The rest of his comment was based on what he thought about Obama’s beliefs.
Do you think his email was racist?
Eric Nenno strangled and raped a 7-year-old girl.
He was just executed in Texas the other night. Before he died he gave an interview to the Associated Press.
Neeno apologized for killing the girl. He also said, “My salvation is secure. I know where I’m going when this is all over.” He was asked where and he answered, “Heaven.” Here is the link: Link
If you were God, would you let Eric Neeno in your heaven?
Are you going trick or treating this year?
I might have to put up an Obama sign just to make my neighbors angry.
Would you put a political sign in your yard?
I have seen about 50 McCain/Palin signs in my neighborhood but I have not found one Obama/Biden sign.
Someone did go into our neighborhood this weekend and spray painted “Obama” on the brick wall that closes off the community pool. So I think my neighborhood is going for McCain based on the signs.
Which candidate do you think your neighborhood is pulling for?
A study showed that “one out of seven female veterans of Afghanistan or Iraq who visit
a Veterans Affairs center for medical care reports being a victim of
sexual assault or harassment during military duty.”
It is said that more than half of these women have post-traumatic stress disorder. According to the article a person is more likely to experience post-traumatic stress disorder if they had sexual trauma as a veteran. Only one out of 100 men say they were harassed or sexually assaulted. Here is the link: Link
Do you think we need to remove the women from serving in war for their own protection?
