Death of Common Sense

The fate of Common Sense is in your hands…

Common Sense died as we entered the Naughties; six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment
for kissing a classmate, teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch, teacher fired for
reprimanding an unruly student, schools required to get parental consent to administer aspirin to a
student, honor student expelled for having a table knife in her school lunch, a government plan to ban
inhalers from 14 million asthmatics due to a trace of a pollutant that may be harmful to the environment.
 
Common Sense gets resurrected here and now.

Saudi king pardons teenage rape victim

They Say:
“Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah has pardoned a teenager sentenced to six months in jail and 200 lashes after being gang raped, al-Jazirah newspaper has reported. The ruling against the 19-year-old woman in the deeply conservative Muslim kingdom had attracted widespread international condemnation, including from human rights groups and the White House.

The woman, 18 at the time of the rape, was attacked at knifepoint by seven men after she was found in a car with a man who was not a relative, in breach of strict Saudi law. In October 2006 a judge sentenced her to 90 lashes for being with the man, a taboo in a kingdom that imposes segregation of the sexes. She appealed against the sentence but the court still ruled that her punishment should be increased to 200 lashes and a six-month jail term.”

We Say:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the religion of Islam… Sit in a car with an unrelated man, get gang raped and get jail time… Am I the only fuckwit sitting here bemused going, “what… the… fuck… how… the…. fuck?”  And to have seven men beat and rape you because of it, fuck when did vigilante justice get re-introduced, I missed that memo yea?

This brings up some interesting potential new laws encouraging vigilante justice in Australia… Cos fuck, other countries are doing it…

  • If found not in the presence of beer during summer months, you will be beaten with thongs until you chug a longneck… you bastard…
  • If found not within 25 metres of a TV or radio during hours of play of the day of a one-day international cricket match, your partner will be stolen and tortured by Warney, male or female, Warney does not discriminate…
  • If your car is found to have those poofy little racing decals, you will be dragged out, hog tied and beaten with a cricket bat until you swear allegiance to Ford or Holden…

Let me get this right… It’s illegal for a women to sit in a car, or be in the presence alone with an unrelated male… Jesus, the nightclub scene in Saudi Arabia must be booming, Ministry of Sound are currently writing off their losses from their Saudi push… Ooops…I salute the King of Saudi Arabia, King Ababababaabbabbbbadullah… Oh hang on, hanging shit on the King is probably an offense in Saudi Arabi… *Crosses Saudi Arabia off Holiday list* Easy come, easy go…
