Thanks Lemon - that was my point exactly! I suppose Alameda prefers to trust dictionaries rather than observe how theory works in practice. Of course I am aware of the theoretical difference between a forced and arranged marriage! But what do you call marriages that the bride does not object to as she has no other option? She cannot meet her mate in any other way than through arranged marriage - not a system of dates, but marriage. Is that an arranged marriage? It is by dictionary definition, but do you feel like there´s free will in that? It is a forced marriage to me, forced because it´s the tradition that forces women to agree by giving them no other option.

In an ideal world, I don´t care if women look for husbands or lovers themselves, go to a matchmaker or ask their family to arrange that for them. But the world is not ideal. If arranged marriage is your ONLY choice, it is a forced marriage in the end. To have a choice you need other options. Is it so hard to understand it?

And I wonder if this really is slander or libel if I´m not the only one who found your posts promoting backwards ideas?

Yeah! that´s what I mean I was just trying to make this forum a little more cheerful when it comes to differences in the world. Someone did mention about differences in cultures so I thought it would be good to also mention the good differences in the world as well as the bad. That way, although we know that a lot of bad stuff happens in the world, we cannot forget the good. I read a book called "It is just you, not everything´s shit" by steve stack recently and I guess it´s rubbed off

Well.. I was pretty sure you would NOT comprehend the concept of ´fighting backwardness´.

That might be an alien concept for you as stranger as  the captain America for me (I never read it.. I still dont know him).. 

But I think you should stick to the topic rather than going personal..

Talk about the opinions not about other people..

Even if you still don´t know him, you will probably browse a few pages out of curiosity. The link between you and him is not about the flashy suit he is wearing, it is more about the ego.

As for the opinions and not people, I´ve just wrote a single sentence. Does that amount to talking about people? 

Will you just stop posting personal attacks??

You are a mod here for god´s sake!!

What is this? Why do you keep coming back with personal remarks where I dont even answer you!! where I dont even talk to you!!

Why why why? 

can someone explain?

What´s going on? What personal attacks are you talking about? Have you ever read your own messages? Do you know how many complaints I have received about you? You always do that. You stir trouble and play the victim afterwards. 

I have no personal problems with you. On the contrary, I can say I like you. You are a good, reliable net personality, a bit predictable but funny as hell, maybe on a par with Mr. Bean.

Go and start from the beginning of this thread!!!

Tell me where and when..

Tell me who complained.. 

Look at your posts, your quotes. 

Tell me which posts of mines were offensive!!

Tell me who told you and tell me when you told me that they were offensive!!

And stop!!! 

No one is asking your opinion about me god´s sake..

You have rules and you, yourself, are breaking them!!

Phew!!
