I mean it seems reasonable.

Not really a funny subject that a child has to go through something like this at an age where life should be carefree and a happy time.

You are totally right! My posting on a Redskin fan web site has totally destoryed this young girls childhood. Pfff...Drink your coffee and lighten up.

Subtract the beer and you've got yourself a Utah engagement.

Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast farming community.

This guy went to the police to get his daughter back because he hadn't received payment for her. Wow. :doh:

Re: Man accused of selling daughter for cash, beer
 

this kind of stuff still happens? WTF?

Re: Man accused of selling daughter for cash, beer
 

Wow.. .I had no idea that was even an option. I wonder what I could get for my wife? I mean, I'd settle for $16, a 6 pack of PBR and a hot dog. Wonder what the exchange rate is....

My wife and I got shirts on our honeymoon (I'll have to dig the photos out soon) from [url=http://www.crazyshirts.com]Crazy Shirts[/url], one is beer-dyed saying "Will Sell Wife For Beer" and the other is chocolate-dyed saying "Will Sell Husband For Chocolate". I've worn that shirt our numerous times, and have yet to receive a solid offer, so if you can get $16, a 6er of PBR and a hot dog (preferably a half-smoke), I'd take it... ;)

Capitalism at work? Wow, very bright guy:

[QUOTE]Police said they only learned of the deal after the 36-year-old man went to them to get his daughter back because payment wasn't made as promised. The man was arrested Sunday on suspicion of human trafficking.[/QUOTE]

[quote=TheMalcolmConnection;520144]Man, the economy these days...[/quote]I know, I would have thought he could have got at least $20,000 and 200 cases of beer for her.

Re: Man accused of selling daughter for cash, beer
 

I think the man would have ultimately regretted this decision even if he had been paid in full. 100 cases of beer isn't as much as it sounds like.

Your right. It equals 2400 beers and if you drank a 12 pack everynight it would only last 28 1/2 days. Not even a month and while your drunk you spend all that money on stupid stuff so its gone too.

It depends on how much drinking you do and how big the case is. 100 cases of this sucker will cost you around $4,000 and last a year if you drink 6 bottles a day.

Beer and meat -- I need to get to baby making! Hopefully I have daughters! You don't even have to wait till they're 18 too!

FD, not sure where you're getting that math from. 2400 beers would last 200 days at a 12 pack per day. Anyone who can finish 100 cases in a month belongs in a remake of Animal House.

Hopefully not from the guy who did his taxes last year.

LOL, now that I look at it again I'm not even sure how I came up with that number.

Re: Man accused of selling daughter for cash, beer
 

Ok, so I have 3 daughters at 100 cases a pop that's 7200 beers or enough to keep me happy for at least 1 1/2 to 3 years.

So far I have invested 9 years in my girls (10 if you count when I had to put up with their pregnant mother)....

Those had better be some awesome effin steaks or else I'm asking for more than $16K.

Ever since the Child Custody Hearing/Dallas Cowboys jokes I find myself being more cautious with these types of threads.
