...and yet this goes unmentioned?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...al-injuries-days-arranged-marriage-Yemen.html

Everyone getting their moral high-horses on stand-by about Adam Johnson, yet girls as young as 8 years old are being married, forced to have sex with adult men and then die of their injuries.

I don't for one second condone the actions of Johnson, but some perspective is required.

Of course, none of these girls (or their attackers) are famous footballers, so who gives a shiite? Right?

I don't think this is something the UK legal system can do anything about being in Yemen .
There was an earthquake in Taiwan why should we care if Bowie dies ?.

Obviously not, and I never suggested it could.

It just makes me sick how people are so outraged by the actions of a footballer and yet absolute horrors occur EVERY DAY around the world and nobody cares because it doesn't happen in their country.:emoticon-0148-yes:

I don't think many people think the A J case is that bad in the great scale of things but If you are on a football forum especially designed for Newcastle or Sunderland this story will be topical.
They have a comments section om the Mail site and you can engage on the migrant rapists or Yemeni marriages there.
I read a story about a bloke who is taking Aldi to court for opening at 11am on Sunday instead of 10 forcing him to wait outside in the sun causing his minced beef to spoil .
This is less serious than under age sex .

What was he doing going into Aldi with minced beef? He's doing this whole shopping thing wrong imo.
