I'm not racist. BUT.....

WTF?

I'd think a daughter would be worth at least 200 cases of beer, and more carne asada than this!

I am surprised that there isn't a liberal Californian judge out there that claims he had his Mexican civil rights violated and should be allowed to sell his daughter into a slave-like arranged marraige, because it is acceptable in his country. What a douche bag! Both the bridegroom and the father, both douche bags.

Somebody needs cultural awareness training. It's not selling. There are about a thousand countries out there where the groom has to fork over tons of loot to get his bride/domestic slave.

The big broken law was the fact that she was 14. BIG no-no.

Well the "culture" in California considers that selling. I understand that may be common in his country, but last I checked California was still apart of America... barely.

But I agree, he totally could have gotten more carne asada, and what was with all of the drinks. It seemed a little outrageous to be exchanging soda, gatorade, etc. for a right to marry.

Would've been a done deal if he would have thrown in some chickens

Look up dowry.

$16,000 and some drinks for a 14 year old mexican girl....and you get to keep her!!!! That's a bargain.

One night with a California Virgin will cost you $3.7 million.

Must be a supply and demand issue.

I'll bet that Mexican girl keeps a higher % of it's trade in value though. After all the California girl is a later model, and "once you drive it off the lot"......


OK, go ahead and schedule the sensitivity training.

I don't care what your culture is. If it breaks our laws here in the US, you deserve any and all punishment associated with it. There should be no "outs" for this kind of stuff. As for the sensitivity training, do I need to break out the Denis Leary Rescue Me video again? I will if I have to.

$3.7 million dollars???

 

[rare21]

the 18 year old might be getting the raw end...as many married males go he'll probably have to sell his soul and his balls for his new bride.

and as for marrying a 14 year old...i'm sure he'd get mighty tired of buying her Hannah Montana collectibles for the next few years.

Maybe they mean Liberian dollars, so it's really only 20 bucks. Even that is sorta pricey for her, though; there's a damn good reason she's still a virgin at 22. And the only good reason for it (churchy) is obviously null and void if she's willing to sell it to the highest bidder/biggest loser

You know you're making yourself sound like a huge tool right now, right? Oh, and spell-check is your BEST friend.

Not my intention... Was just trying to make fun of liberals, guess I crossed the line. :icon_mi_1

Oh and spell check is not the easiest thing to do when posting via a cell phone.

You would be the authority on that.
