Girl, 14, dies after allegedly being gang-raped, burned alive in India | Fox News

If you have the time, watch this. Think about how (relatively) good we have it here.
That's scary. It's just downright....scary. And it's every day.

Public executions would reduce this behavior, but that will never happen.

That video was very interesting. Being a pretty stout man, I've never thought much about the fear that some women may feel in some of our cities. Just something I never really thought about.

Is this as big of an issue in America? Or is this more of a foreign issue?

It was bad in Miami after the Mariel boatlift in the early 1980's.

Anytime you have lots of males from cultures where this kind of behavior is seen as normal, women will have a problem.

They should only let females immigrate to America from countries like this.

Being born a low caste woman in India is like getting a death sentence.

Yet these losers are coming here in droves on visas and bringing their lack of morals. Ever notice most of the visa holders from India are men? No coincidence, women are mistreated there.

Ehhh... What was the status of women where your ancestors came from at that time? When you turn this issue into an argument about who should immigrate here, you're bound to come up lame.

The difference is that was then. Also, these losers are stealing American jobs at a time when jobs are scarce.

"Then" is relative. All periods will eventually become a then

As for the jobs angle... We'll I'm not so sure about that.
