Mmm...would your 'objective' source of information by any chance be the CNN, Fox News, ABC, NBC, CBC, and other alphabetic combinations?
I saw a program recently about 'how hindu women are all being burnt and killed by the men' on one of these channels. (Sigh) I have always have loved the western notion of 'objectivity.'
And to think that western women complain that they are all regarded and treated in many parts of the world as prostitutes and willing to bed anyone at the drop of a hat; all whites kill and maim blacks, and smoke dope; all white children go on killing spree for no reason; all white children have behavioral problems and can't function in school; all white men beat on their wives and sleep with other women for recreational pleasure; white teenage females get themselves knocked up and then go in for abortion; white men can't hold a job and binge drink all day, etc.
Can one blame the people around the world for holding on to such views on the western world; you see, their sources of information are very 'objective' - hollywood movies, BBC, CNN, NBC, Oprah Winfrey, Dr. Phil, and all the local news channels and talk shows in their country.

Many western countries, especially the US, stand rank very high on domestic violence against women and rape. So, one would think you'd be used to abuse by now. Or has my 'objective' source let me down this time?
