If you were my wife, I would either commit suicide right away or wear the hijab on your behalf when you are around.

You are full of misconceptions. As a matter of fact you shouldn't be taken seriously. You ought thank the likes of Trudy who give you unconditional support no matter how weird you go.

Let me quickly remind you what I am and what I am not:

1-) I am an Atheist. All my life I have never believed in anyone of the religions. I don't have to explain this but you force me.
2-) I respect freedom of believing. If someone believes in something he/she is entitled to that. Because the persons(s) in question are grown ups and it is neither your nor my duty to take this right away from that person. He/she is already very satisfied with the life he/she has.
3-) Your narrow mind rules that I must be in favour of honor killings or female oppression. You should actually ask this question to my wife. I am sure she will give you a good laugh. If a woman complains of the oppression she is
subjected to there is the civil code and law enforcement offices waiting to help her out of that oppression. Indeed, a couple of years ago I saw a man trying to physically harm a woman in the street and I personally stopped the guy and made sure that he was arrested by the police.

People have a right to entertain themselves. They do none of the malicious things in your questionable mind. They are just drinking together, singing and having fun. If that was sinful, New York would burn in hell for the night life it has.

There is a proportional unit used to describe the proportions of different metals used to make an alloy.
The Turkish word for this scale is "milyem". Milyem is used both in chemistry and by jewellers. Accordingly 999 is the highest level of purity. To my knowledge, milyem is more common for relatively less valuable metals such as silver and copper. The formula used to calculate purity is as follows:

purity = metal1 / metal1 + metal2

In other words a 525 milyem means 0.9041 grams of cheap metal was added for each gram of silver used to make the alloy.

For gold and platinum turkish/international unit karat/carat is used.

One old standard still used today is ayar which. 24 ayar denotes highest purity. I guess all the other details are exactly the same as the international standards. For silver there is another old standard where the highest purity is denoted as 12 ayar.

Here is another answer to those prejudiced brains who can't even google before they wrongfully accuse other cultures. After reading this it is up to you to decide where the porn problem actually is:

Poland
-----------------------------------------------------------

Trafficking

At least 200 women, including girls under the age of 16, were trafficked by one Polish man to Germany and the Netherlands between 1993 and 1996. (Warsaw Voice, 1996). ("Trafficking of Women to the European Union: Characterisitics, Trends and Policy Issues," European Conference on Trafficking in Women, (June 1996), IOM, 7 May 1996)

Poland is a destination country for trafficking in Bulgarian women it is a transit country for women from Ukraine, Lithuania and Belarus. At least 3,500 Bulgarian prostituted women are in Poland and more than 1,000 from Ukraine and Belarus (source: Polish Deputy Interior Minister). In 1997, police registered 200 cases of attempted smuggling of women to Western brothels. (Piotr Bazylko, "Poland, Ukraine to fight sex slave industry," Reuters, 16 July 1998)

Policy and Law

In Poland, there are no specific laws governing the smuggling of aliens. (Tass, 1995, "Trafficking and Prostitution: The Growing Exploitation of Migrant Women from Central and Eastern Europe," IOM, May 1995)

The governments of Poland and Ukraine agreed on July 16, 1998, to cooperate in fighting prostitution and sex slave trafficking to the West. "The Mafia has got engaged in [the trafficking of women]. We must take preventive measures together," a Ukrainian Interior Ministry representative commented on the agreement. ("Poland, Ukraine to fight sex slave industry," Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty Newsline, Vol. 2, No. 136 Part II, 17 July 1998)

Prostitution

Case

A child prostitution ring, with a computer list of more than 1000 names, including 100 foreign clients, from Europe and Russia, was uncovered in Szczecin in November 1996. It may be the largest child sex crime in the country's history. (BBC, 8 November 1997)

Pornography

The Polish sex industry held its first legal trade fair in September 1998, attracting businessmen, pornographic film stars, and both male and female participants. Spectators at the Warsaw show will be treated to erotic dancing, mock sado-masochistic performances and naked beauty contests for both sexes. They can also browse around stalls offering sex aids, films and books. ("New law allows Polish porn festival," Reuters, 25 September 1998)

A pornography law prohibits the public display of material likely to offend but permits in private everything but erotica involving children, animals and violence in Poland. The law has been in force since 1 September 1998. Publishers have had to remove nudity from the covers of magazines sold in kiosks and wrap non-transparent foil around books that might be sold openly in other European countries. ("New law allows Polish porn festival," Reuters, 25 September 1998)

Between 300,000 to 400,000 hard-core porn magazines are sold a month in Poland, a country of 39 million people. ("New law allows Polish porn festival," Reuters, 25 September 1998)
