Quoting vineyards:

Because we are a more open society and closer to West in many ways, foreigners like to criticize us a lot. The real hypocricy is playing the three monkeys when it comes to economically sanctioning such a barbaric regime while destroying the land of another by stating make believe reasons.



Oh please Vineyards!!!!! Don't jump on the "I blame your country" bandwagon! I NEVER defend any actions of my country and happily criticise. Can't I EVER speak as an individual? Does it always have to be as an English woman?

If being a desert tribe and an ancient culture involves beheading and stoning people for small crimes in the name of Islam, then I am happy to criticise them!




OK. I tend to consider religion as a personal freedom. I have right not to believe in anything and they are entitled to believe in one. If they fear some sort of punishment because they expose parts of their bodies to males then let them cover themselves. I wouldn't care less as long as there are other beautiful women around whom I can look at.

You see Aenigma all Christians are not like Jesus Christ and that doesn't prove the Christian faith sucks.

If you ask me you should stop making religion related generalizations. It doesn't have anything to do with their religion. Did they believe in some other religion they'd still wish to be with prostitutes because prostitution is a service given by women of all religions and as long as the customer pays they don't mind what they believe in. They will probably never bring up that matter and continue considering themselves as either Christian or Muslim persons.



Plus...... my point was more about the alcohol than the prostitutes



I compensated for that by putting more emphasis on prostitutes.

What Saudis consider as their religion is a compilation of their age long traditions and ways.

Just picture yourself on top of a camel riding nowhere in an endless desert. What sort of a culture would you develop? They were either caravan riders or bandits robbing those caravans. They are not even good at handy work nor do they have a nice kitchen.

The desert preserved their culture for centuries. When England artificially created those countries those tribesmen were told that they were actually Arabs and when it turned out that there was oil in their land they began spending their petrodollars for the construction of a medieval civilization that would run without having to move a finger. Everyone loves those who ride the gravy train.

Because we are a more open society and closer to West in many ways, foreigners like to criticize us a lot. The real hypocricy is playing the three monkeys when it comes to economically sanctioning such a barbaric regime while destroying the land of another by stating make believe reasons.

Here is my list of favourite composers:

Chabrier
Falla
Liszt

For example when writing this I am whispering the melody of El Amor Brujo by Falla.

Well let me say something about those Saudis: they can't be humans! They have a barbaric culture, they oppress women and blatantly violate not only the rights of women but human rights as a whole. Have you ever asked yourself how come they can do all this so openly? There are so many different stories in it and many of them are linked to the civilized part of the world.

Anyway, coming back to our original discussion, I did not direct that post to you exclusively. It just sums my idea about feminism and that's all.

If I needed an example maybe I would chose catwoman. She is way more feministic than you and God knows I feel sorry for her.

A man can't be a feminist, he can't argue with a feminist nor can he be in the same line of thinking with a feminist because feminism is a camp designed by and for women where they can fight for their own cause.

If a woman states that she is a feminist and that she protests legal/traditional sexual discrimination in society, I would consider her reaction as a sociological phenomenon and I would categorize it alongside the unfair treatment she is subjected to which is another sociological phenomenon. I would probably conclude that neither of those problem categories could be solved by punishing one of the sexes or applying restrictions on it.

We know that independence is won by fighting, peace is achieved by shedding blood and oppressive regimes are overthrown at the expense of countless innocent people. Once the objective is reached fighting subsides and life runs normally. As a matter of fact, some aspects of the feminist movement is reminiscient of all the aforementioned. Therefore it is more on the side of being an anomaly serving a purpose in a period of transition. Nevertheless, this transition is age long and it is still nowhere close to satisfying related needs in society.

By way of reasoning, feminist women and especially those who are male haters or those who are overly aggressive toward the other sex do not behave the way a benign individual would. Her anger causes her to develop a dysfunction that affects her relations with other individuals. Add to that the charecteristic obsessive attitude of feminists and their selective interests in certain matters and you will end up with a problematic personality who is impossible to get along with.

My name: Akin means rushing or raiding in English yet I am so much slower than what my name implies in real life.
It turns out I am good in bed and I like drinking. Well, the first one is wrong and the latter is somewhat true.

I have never seen a lady who is great in bed, I've just seen ladies together with whom we could be great in bed.
