Quoting elibrody:

I know perfectly I will be quotes as a muslim candidate, and you will probably say that woman was he right to do whatever she pleases with her body but I do consider sometimes ( most of the time) what people wears in unacceptable.

I am 19 and sure sometimes I wear provocative stuff, but it's sad for example when I go to my sister's highschool and I see some of the class mate in a mini skirt and a blouse that nearly covers them and still they complain about guys saying stuff, if they wear something like that what do they expect?

I am not saying the solution is wearing a burka or something like that but with time people has started to confuse freedom with licentiousness



Would you think it was ok if these young girls where stoned to death for the way they dressed? Or perhaps yourself for wearing provocative clothes?



I don't aprove anything of what's done, I am only saying that it is truth with time society become blind to these things and they loose their values

Not everyone has the same values elibrody and it is far better to die because of your choices than to die because you offended someones idea of what your values should be.

You may stone me to death but I need to share my teaching experience here. A while ago in Poland there were numerous cases of girls harassed by their male classmates (one of them ended in suicide). The principal of a neighbouring school summoned one student's mother as the clothes her daughter was wearing for school were, euphemistically speaking, indecent. In other words, her top barely covered her nipples. The mother felt insulted and lectured the principal on the rights of personal freedom as well as accused her of being jealous of the young students sex appeal. The principal then replied that, fine, if the mother agrees to hand in a written statement acquitting the principal of any kind of liability in case of any harassment on behalf of the boys.

I believe women have the right to wear whatever they want. Still, contrary to what most easterners say, it doesn't mean that all westerners wear mini skirts and show their cleavage. Most working places have their dressing code.

However, if a woman decides to wear provocative clothes, she should be ready to shoulder the consequences. I cannot understand women who dress like hookers and then complain that men comment on them. You get what you give. Of course, I am far from justifying crimes here. No matter how a woman is dressed, it should be no excuse for rapists.

Nope, I think people are just as they've always been. You know, past generations always complain about the young ones being devoid of moral spine. But it is due to the fact that we no longer are those young people and we don't really know how they are. In fact, they are not so different from how we used to be. It just looks different from our today's perspective.

What is it exactly that you find so terrible about young people nowadays?

Mrx
You have to look at the events from the top a bit.
Think of your father. He was possibly worrying about the way you are worrying now..and think of your grand father. Possibly, he was the same.
I know from my grand father and my father.
Both of them thought that moral values were disappearing.
But actually, they dont..They are just evolving..changing with the time.
All moral and ethical values change with the time. That is the thing wont change..

We/you should get used to it..

well first my aim never blaming youth or make a generalization about them,and sure they r the guaranties of a lighter future,and sure life perspective changing for each new generation depend to many reasons,but i believe that crime and guiltiness getting more each new day as the reflection of unlimited freedom understanding..anyway i trust power of youth and youngs

I was trying to find crime rates by country but I couldn't find it. Instead, I found a site with homicide rates. If you scroll down the page, you'll see the rate in 2000s. Actually it hasn't risen considerably, in some countries it's even decreased. You also have to take into account countries with war.

Anyway, see for yourselves:
