Although I spend a good deal of time with my sparrow and pay close attention to his whistles I really cannot testify as to what goes on in his mind.

Ahaa! You know! Now that we have established you are not a parakeet it seems fairly definite you have the mind of a sparrow.


I'd rather think the mind of a cockatiel, except 700 times the volume.

Would you mind stopping this practice of yours? Do you just not notice that you are writing in my quotation or are you dumb enough to think you're fooling anyone by hiding your text among the words of others?

You find it a strain to seek out my comments? I thought birds were good at locating stuff. OK I'll try not to test your capabilities.

Only on Wrongplanet could a thread about child rape turn into a conversation about sparrows... :scratch:

SANAA: A 13-year-old Yemeni girl who had been forced into marriage died five days after her wedding when she suffered a rupture in her sex organs and haemorrhaging, a local human right's organisation said.

Ilham Mahdi al-Assi died last Friday in al-Thawra hospital in Hajja province, the Shaqaeq Arab Forum for Human Rights said in a statement quoting a medical report.

But there was just an update to the story:

Quote:
SHUEBA, Yemen (AP) -- A 13-year-old Yemeni child bride who bled to death shortly after marriage was tied down and forced to have sex by her husband, according to interviews with the child's mother, police and medical reports.

The girl's mother, Nijma Ahmed, 50, told the Associated Press that before her daughter lost consciousness, she said that her husband had tied her up and forced himself on her. ''She looked like she was butchered,'' she said about her daughter's injuries.

That just isn't right. Hopefully the guy has been cut into pieces for what he did? I suppose justice is too much to hope for though. This world thrives off of injustice.

It's ok, I'm not having a go at you, I just think it's kind of funny in a f****d up way.
