Aroused For Debian 8 "Jessie" reports:

Debian 8 "Jessie" was released on 25 Apr. A link to the Debian release page shows the changes and you can follow the release in 'real-time' should you desire to do so.

This release will be supported for 5 years and includes "improvements" to the UEFI software (both 32- and 64-bit) introduced in the previous version, "Wheezy". It also is the first release to use systemd as default init system replacing the earlier sysvinit, which is still available in the repos should you wish to revert the change. What effects such a change might have on the remainder of the system is not clear. Improvements to the support of Debian software include the ability to browse and search all source code distributed in the latest release.

    (such as "men should be allowed to marry preteen girls" and similar crap).

    The Hebrew Bible agrees: Deuteronomy 22 28-29.
    Read in hebrew.

    It also agrees that people who oppose that should be killed. People such as yourself.

    28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels[c] of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

    Dude, what the fuck. You guys who quote scripture out of context, every time I look up the verse it's clearly saying nothing of the sort of what's claimed.

    This specifically has to do with if the person was already raped. And there is NOT anything about killing anyone who opposes the marriage.

    It's the whole "who would want tainted goods" thing to prevent people from despoiling a virgin and then just jetting. I would think it's meant to ensure that the girl in question has somebody providing for her for the rest of her life.
