    Who says its OK for a 12 or 13 year old to have sex? When young girls have children there is a high rate of complications during child birth including death to the baby and mother.

    I'm not sure what your point is about illegal immigration. Most of the illegal immigrants in the US want to be here. They work largely in agricultural settings.

  • The people in the ...

    The people in the government are profiting by geeting bribed to turn a blind eye and let it happen. Very wealthy government officials from around the world are some of the biggest customers to Singapore and Thialand. Same thing is going on with opium and cocaine and organized crime and the world governments. They are all getting rich on the sex and drug trades together. Money is being laundered all over the world. Mafia pays the DEA etc...

  • True, kids are more ...

    True, kids are more mature when they have to grow up fast. I'm not really sure what you're getting at when you say the West follows systems of ancient Egypt. Kind of a strange statement. Young girls are not physically ready to have children and have sexual relationships regardless of maturity.

    There are no prostitutes walking around the streets in my hometown. It appears more acceptable in Singapore.

  • OK, if Singapore is ...

    OK, if Singapore is so good at regulating people habits of trash dumbing, why is it having problems regulating "the world oldest profession" and making it a profession. Where are work permit regulations, where are sanitary regulations of borthels or night clubs, where are the taxations to take pimps and trafficers out of the picture?-legalization, regulation, taxation, singapore seems to be missing steps two and three!

    Don't think that by ripping the verses out of the Qur'an out of context you are prooving anything. Sorry, but you are extremely ignorant.

  • Any normal person ...

    Any normal person is against the violence. All non-Muslim intellectuals of the West are against foreign policies of their countries. Watch Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein, they are Jews. See what they say about the violence and where it comes from.
