"In 1999, the minimum marriage age of fifteen for women, rarely enforced, was abolished; the onset of puberty, interpreted by conservatives to be at the age of nine, was set as a requirement for consummation of marriage."
Well, technically that may be true, but girls also go through puberty at an earlier age these days than in the past. Physical readiness has little to do with emotional readiness for marriage and sex. And even the physical readiness would be debatable.
Not that that would matter to any of the guys who are making the rules.
If that's not Photoshop, then that guy is seriously anal about his hair. There's no way he could have gotten the two styles that close (check out the little hairs sticking up on the crown of his head!); the photos must've been taken the same day, which argues against any form of real surgery.
"The difficulty and time spent is part of what makes it a luxury - and it is. ... That’s why they’re smiling and enjoying it - it’s unusual."
Interesting reasoning, Mathieu. So if a constipated person craps on a plate, people should line up to enjoy the delicacy? It's difficult to make, takes a long time, and is an unusual thing to eat. What's the difference?
Just because you can put something in your mouth and swallow it (and have it come out the other end without it completely destroying your innards) doesn't mean that it should be eaten.

Don't let the oil companies find out!
As for "meat"... that's priceless. And a little scary.
