Some Aborigines 'Don't Understand Abuse'

[Oli]

Gee, I wonder why Aborigine tribes tend to view sexual shame differently than we do in the U.S?

Different societal constructs maybe?

Any number of factors contribute, but one that really stands out is that the affliction of Original Sin hasn't taken hold.

I don't think you understand what intellegence is. Intellegence has nothing to do with morality. You can be super-intellegent and evil, or good.

Intellegence is a tool like any other. If we choose to use it to kill, it doesn't make us less intellegent anymore than using your physical strength to kill makes you weak.

Well, I could say morality is a certain type of intelligence and so is empathy.

I know lots of people who say the same kind of thing about homosexuality. So...?

Little girls in India, and many places in the world, are married and have children by 12 or 13. What's the big deal with that?

And knowing how human children are, it's horrible because everything about them is still a child besides thier ability to reproduce. They aren't even ready to rear them. It's so sad and heinous especially when they are paired up with sexual perverts or older men. Besides the physical it actually completely darkens, pollutes and muddies their psyche and spirit. The power imbalance makes them objects that are used and trash receptacles for the whims of the one who has control over this young person. Sick. There were a lot of inferior practices in the past or even today. Just because something happened or was practiced doesn't make it good.
