The comment history is full of iamverysmart type comments . No need to respect an Internet pseudointellectual <| sep |> The amount and scope the the documentation for this behaviour in the gulf states in undeniable . They even try and do these actions in other countries . There is no way they would give up the men in question , politically claiming it was consensual was their only viable option given the attention on an international level . Quite simply , your argument is based in ignorance and wishful thinking , not any evidence . It ' s not fashionable as you say , it ' s people discussing a terrible thing that is occurring , and you yelling people down that you disagree with . I stand by my statement , you are a terrible person . The world is a worse place for your existence .
