Saudi beauty queen behind the veil: Miss Moral Beauty
Saudi veiled girl crowned Miss Moral Beauty

Extract: "No swimsuits or evening gown competitions and heavy media coverage of beauty pageants were the highlights of the Saudi contest based in the eastern city of Safwa.

Instead, the winner and the two runner-up princesses had to undergo a three-month test of their dutifulness to their parents and family, and their service to society. Tests probing their psychological state-of-mind, social and cultural awareness determined the winner."

Oh so she is the most morally right amongst the other 274 eh? Cool!

I think we need to have moral pageants everywhere. In schools for teachers, in offices for managers, teen students, taxi drivers, landlords.......Present day society is materialistic enough and could definitely use a crash course is ethics!

If this is indeed a professionally managed pagent, where the traditionally attired women prove themselves to be outstanding, cultural women with intellect and can carry themselves with style, grace and aplomb? Then power to this pageant! And I can vouch that there are many such women in the ME.
The chosen woman should be a brand ambassador and interact with people world over.
So do they have that much confidence in their winner?

What do you know about improving? You just opened your eyes on DF yourself.

Now you're judging people already...??? :twisted:

Again I wasn't judging MCL.

And if you were born the day you joined DF, I was born long ago before DF even started.

I dosen't matter when you were born. What counts is when one opens his eyes and see's the world. I don't think wisdom comes with age, it comes from experiance and that does not always come with age!

All good, but the later part of your reply is not to be taken seriously. Age has nothing to do with my point.

Unbelievable.

Even praising you evokes a negative reaction!

Relax, chill out, dude . Again, I wasn’t judging you. when I said improving, I meant to say despite the fact that issue is very distant from your culture you saw it in a very positive way. Which I admired of you.

One more than, I liked the school style of clique reaction you and RobbyG showed. :D

Hahahaha You really remind me of school cliques.

Learning from you?? Why not, I'm open to learn from anybody, no matter who or what they are. I today learned from my office helper how to make the perfect cup of coffee. :D

Thats the spirit. One is never too old to learn from a modern generation.

Aside from that; you said I remind you of old school cliques...
I don't, cause when I remember my school times...I was a contrarian. Did it all like I thought was appropriate and therefore happily missed alot of 'following' that the cliques liked.

I rather be genuine find something out alone than be part of a group ;)

You must be thanking me now, for giving so much detail and historic information about me growing up. :lol: Therefore you can donate for the common good here.... www.schiffforsenate.com

Since you have learned the word " improvement", I hope you'll implement that in your attitude toward others and in your career.

O Thank you, great Mr. 'Million Dollar Deal'. A bit humility might suit you also I see.

As a matter of fact, the implementation of that word into my career was the reason I took off from the last one. ;)

Call it arrogance or foolish behaviour. At least I know where I stand in life and am able to decide whats good for me and what is not. Companies want hard working people for merely nothing these days. They might fool another person, but not me.

Deals should be mutually beneficial. Not compromising on one side only. And with that, I wish you a good night sleep.

;)
