Did you know In Mexican villages, rape can be called a courting ritual?

Town elders, who act as judges in local criminal matters, are invariably men. In one village in Guerrero state, elders were recently asked how they punished rape. The six men looked confused, as if they did not know what the term meant. When it was explained to them, they all laughed and said it sounded more like a courting ritual than a crime.

When they stopped laughing, they said a rapist would probably get a few hours in the local jail, or he might have to pay the victim's family a $10 or $20 fine, but that all would be forgotten if he and the victim married.

In the case of a cattle thief, they said, he would be jailed. And, unlike the rapist, a cattle thief would be brought before the elders for a lecture about the severity of the crime.

Used to be that way in Italy. But the man had to marry girl or father would shoot with shotgun.

That doesn't surprise me because where I live you can see that the 14 and 15 years old girls think that they are grown. Mentally they are not.


Kitten,Doc
think it should be punishable by public castration

not surprising...most hispanic women end up with children by the time they are 14 or 15...so no big surprise there...the men are absolutely disgusting for thinking that! They should be hung!

That's a good example of those wonderful Mexican "family values". If Mexican people would stay in THAT country and organize like they did HERE and fight for better laws, rights, better living wages, etc., instead of running away they could make changes. You just don't give up and run away, you keep on fighting for better lives for your families. If our ancestors had not fought for our rights, worked hard, voted, passed laws, our country would probably be no better than Mexico. But, they stayed the course, made it what it is today. We are not like Mexico. Mexicans can't just waltz in here and take it, illegally.

and just how many teen pregnancies, raped girls and molested children happen to be in your "civilized" state?

Redneck dork

At least some Mexicans speak two languages, and we're not ignorant. Have a nice life in your moddle class "home"

This really doesn't surprise me. They don't really see rape as a big thing down there. At my hubby's previous job a mexiscum came in and actually bragged how he and 5 other mexiscum raped a 16 yr old girl the night before and he was out of jail within a few hrs (gotta love that justice they give to illegals)


Stands Alone
They sure dont honor women down there ,do they?

No wonder they think entering this country is OK no matter what the law says.

that's one reason why i live in america... and why i welcome mexican women with open arms. i feel lucky to be born into a place where i am valued, and i wish that everyone else would be so fortunate.

was that what you were hoping for? leikevy, you take moral relativism too far if you don't realize how f-ed up your answer is... why don't you read the rest of the article she snipped?

List your source of this claim, and it better be one that isn't a largely conservative one. I think that they were joking when they said that, even though Rape is something you do NOT joke about. I think the only chance it would end in marriage is if the rapist could not afford to pay the fine. There seem to be some gray areas here that you should really consider. That is if you're one who tends to see some shades of gray instead of just black and white.

Would you happen to have a legit, non-biased link to support your claim? I don't believe what you wrote.

different perspectives. The girl might think its rape, they might not. We think people that kill dogs and cats to eat them are inhumane but they can say the same thing about us eating beef. Or maybe we are OK with the divorce rate but people in India would shriek in horror if their daughter/son did that.

People judge other cultures against their own culture, which they think is most superior. What do I think? I'd call it rape but people there obviously dont.

1. Has nothing to do with immigration.

2. Sources? Why would I believe what you say? You obviously dislike Mexicans and probably want others to think the same way as you.

3. You are an extremely hateful person. You OBVIOUSLY posted this to show that (because in your screwed head of yours, you must believe) Mexicans are in some way uncivilized and an inferior CULTURE (not government) to Americas. you are sick.

hmmm, interesting....You don't seemed too bother by that polygamist Warren Jeffs, who married/raped 13 year old girls....He had 40 wives of all ages and 65 children!

Where is the outrage Zoe? Or is it ok for your people to commit rape and have 65 children?

Always the little hypocrite.....
