Now this is just wrong. I don't care what they do in other countries, I care about this country.

Couldn't stop laughing at that Anderson Cooper compilation.

I'm with you. If it was Roman Polansky, people would be sending wedding gifts and saying "leave him alone!"

There was a thread about that some weeks ago. Now that I've seen her on video, I think she looks astoundingly annoying.

The article is making a huge deal about the guy being 35 years older but...

A month ago nobody blinked when Hugh Hefner was going to marry someone 60 years younger than him.

Let's not forget about J. Howard Marshall II who married someone that was 63 years younger - Anna Nicole Smith.

Don't get me wrong, I do not think that it is normal for a 51 year old to be marrying someone that is still in high school.

I should add that I was not able to view the video because it takes me to CNN International. I ended up searching for it and found the article.

I read a heartbreaking article in NatGeo last week about child brides in India, Pakistan and other countries. I'm talking girls as young as 5 and 6 years old basically sold as "wives". It's illegal in those countries but it still happens commonly. It's right up there with the sex slave trade as far as the level of despicable.

Who is worse? The scum that sell the children or the POS that marry them?
