I know you're probably not going to take me seriously and you'll make fun of me but here are the concerns I want to address:
Well, there seems to be some disagreement about whether or not it's illegal. They're definately not totally above-board. Why?
Because it's a system that verges on being a slave trade. Poor women from other countries come here with no skills, no English, and expecting some rich sexy guy--who is probably not all that if he's getting a mail-order bride.
There was a situation where one man married a woman and then began abusing her. He ended up killing her when she tried to leave. Now, certainly not all males who order mail-order brides are murderers, but I argue that it's not really surprising if they are. Clearly if they're essentially
BUYING a woman that doesn't show much respect for women's rights or concerns. Definately doesn't show that they care about getting to know the woman (or any woman whom they date).
It's illegal because it's not a totally legit practice, often.
It's dumb because who would DO this? Losers, clearly
It's immoral because it's trafficking in women.
I'm sure some will disagree but I've clarified my point.
