  1. There are child brides all over the world including most of Europe. Which state allows 9 year olds to marry? Particularly forced marriage. Maybe you're just spouting rhetorical nonsense in a desparate effort to find some moral equivalency between Afghanistan and the US?

  2.  @Zachary_Dale  if you think Christianity is any better you're lying to yourself. The western world doesn't do this anymore because it's largely secular and no longer follows religious rules when it comes to this kind of thing.

  3. We aren't all immigrants. I was born in the US, as were my parents and their parents.

  4. Pretty sure God endorsed this sorta thing in the Bible.

  5.  @Cnyse1  forced on her? Was someone forcing her to have sex with a woman? Forcing her to get gay married?

  6.  @karensnyder1280  really? You post evangelism in a video highlighting specifically the ridiculousness of the very idea of evangelism? You side with Locke?

  7. Isn't this kind of thing practiced in the Bible anyway?

  8.  @geninji6117  Texas law is 14 (I think) with parental consent. Do you think 9 & 14 are the same? You know damned well the two cultures are vastly different and it's not nearly the issue that you imply even if just for cultural reasons. This is very frowned upon by all but a small minority in the US and even then they're quite a bit older than the girl in the video. To imply that this is an issue of similar import in the US is dishonest.

  10.  @cnnothingburgerletsgobrand6381  What a stupid statement. Why would anyone cross the border? These guns are easier ton get in the US than they are in Mexico. Cartels literally buy guns in the US to take back to Mexico.

  11. Peace in our time? ​ @actc6077

  12. ​ @NeganLucilleForever  we don't. In fact, the nation we're helping was one of the main parts of the USSR.

  13. ​ @dudecast705 we are actually. I realize trump is selling this isolationist thing but the US deliberately engineered Pax Americana. You like how the US is the biggest strongest on the block? That's on purpose. We set that up. If trump wants to end it thats fine but just accept that we'll lose that influence. Both the soft and hard power. Plus, the government will have a harder time justifying our massive military budget.

  14. ​ @BalistoClub why? They'd have all of Europe. The US is showing its a bad ally anyway. Trump's making sure we lose our international influence.

  15. ​ @appl2597 he didn't win the majority of the vote actually, he got just under 50%. That said, yes, republicans are becoming very isolationist. They're a paranoid and skittish group.

  16. ​ @abdikherdahiye4075 without American there will be all of Europe

  17. ​ @GreenDragon-r3c the rest of Europe is helping them too, what are you talking about?

  18. ​ @michaelernest7224 Trump's the one that negotiated the pull out and released 5000 taliban fighters.

  19. ​ @doodstica2908 they'll rightly stop caring what the US says and the "American century" will come to an end.

  20. ​ @MrSunshanmu  agreed. These "America first" people can't see past their own face.

  21. ​ @danpiz626 it was 49.9% for Trump actually, so not a majority

  22. ​ @amjadpanhwar3320 that was largely equipment for the Afghan Army

  23. @danpiz626  neither got a majority vote. Why did you use four question marks?

  24. @danpiz626  I already answered this, nobody did. You understand what majority means, right? Is understanding math insane?

  25.  @danpiz626  so apparently understanding how words and numbers work is a crazy democrat plot. Obviously it wasn't a tie. Kinda surprised you didn't realize that. Majority means more than half. Trump got 49.9% of the vote. That's a lower number than 51%. Trump got MORE votes, but not the majority.

  27. @Jason31256  yea, screw self determination. Besides, that's not what the invasion was over anyway.

  28. Probably the same reason you don't see much pro Trump news anywhere but Fox and Newsmax. There really isn't much "pro" to talk about.

  29. Both of these men are far more rational and intelligent than the people running this country.

  30.  @forreststump11  where does Jesus disallow slavery? You say it was just a custom at the time but if God was motivated to write commandments couldn't one of them be "thou shall not own people as property?" he was apparently more concerbed with wither they made statues or not.

  31.  @gavinjones601  this was a 9 year old. Yes, 12 is still too young but no US state allows marriage at the age in this video. Also, most of thw world has parental consent laws that allow marriage younger than normal. It's not just the US.

  32. You know perfectly well that anything like this happening in the US is criminal and nearly unanimously condemned culturally. To imply that there is moral equivalency between criminal activity in the US and this being allowed and happening in the open in Afghanistan is absurd.

  33. How many people in the US do you know married to 9 year olds? Could list a few?
