Hello, I've been in Dubai for a while now, and have failed to meet interesting people. It seems that I keep meeting the same shallow persona in different people,especially with girls. I've never been the type of guy who's only interested in sex. I aim for long-term, serious relationships, and althou...

I'm not asking to strictly find a date, I'm asking to find girls with a little more brain than the ones I've met. If anything develops from there so be it, but I just want to meet some intellectuals. Also, I'm trying to find social clubs/gatherings in hope to meet such girls. I hope the mods don't f...

That's exactly what I'm saying I want to avoid. There is much more depth in life, and age should not restrict the will to expand the mind.

Just a thought I was looking to discuss and get different opinions on: Since humans only use 10% of their brains, do you think that the soul can possibly reside in the brain as you live? An interesting movie I've seen built around this idea is Cold Souls, and I recommend all to watch it. The reason ...

I never said that only women can intellectually stimulate me. I have another post in another section inviting anyone to a conversation over a cup of coffee. I only posted the women version here, since this is the romance section. Also, since you were so keen you point out that I didn't mention gende...

Well I believe that most people will end up a C when it comes down to a real situation, but I might be mistaken. Once a cheat, always a cheat May or may not be true. I've dealt with this issue once before, and although I spent my life believing that I would be an A, after calming down, I realized th...

Of course one's definition of the soul and mind affects the reply, and I believe that the soul is what "activates" the mind, if you will. I think the 10% brain usage is no longer current scientific understanding Do you have any articles supporting this? Not that I'm implying that your mist...

Well there was kissing and groping involved, at a prolonged period of time. It may not be the equivalent of sleeping with him, but I never said I was an expert on the matter.

Icenic

Thank you very much for that article. It was very interesting indeed, and has given me a different perspective about it's relevant topic

Icenic

Well although your explanation is very accurate in some areas, it fails to explain the sense of touch; yes we do see these things in our brain, but what about the blind? They do not see any of it. They see nothing. They see the world through the senses of touching, hearing, smelling, and tasting. I'...

Icenic

Hahahahaha...In what sense do you mean?

Icenic

I know that God sent 4 holy books; the Thawrat, Zabur, Injil(The Bible), and the Quor'an. My question is why 4? Why not just one, and avoid conflict and complications? I have not intentions of blasphemy or offense to anyone, I'm just curious to know the opinions and thoughts that you all may have on...

Icenic

Question.

If the soul leaves the body when a person is brain dead, and the body is kept alive, does that not defy the will of God?

Icenic

Really? Well I'm down that same exact road, and would love to hear some of your thoughts and conclusions on the topic. If you don't feel like writing that much, can you give me some books, articles, or any other reading materials that shed light on this? Thanks in advance!

Icenic

That is interesting indeed. But I still wonder, couldn't God have avoided all religious conflicts by sending the Qur'an from the start? P.S. You truly seem to be a very knowledgeable person, and I would love to have a verbal conversation sometime over a cup of coffee, mainly because it is very diffi...

I will quote Confucius on this one: "If I am walking with two other men, each of them will sever as my teacher. I will pick out the good points of the one and imitate them, and the bad points of the other and correct them in myself." I was only able to realize my mistakes and admit them be...

Icenic

I will definitely read other scriptures and research this topic further, and I thank you for all the information you have given. Another thing, do you know any unbiased sites of reference? There are many Islamic sites out there, and many of their content is questionable.

Icenic

Once again, I deeply thank you for all the information you've shared.

Icenic

Hahahaha!! I enjoyed your advice on so many levels, and I think you have it spot on when it coms to the Dubai situation. Thank you so much for your advice, and I will be walking down the (b) path, since the (a) one would probably end with my brains on a wall!!

Icenic

Thank you for your comment Knight; I guess you can understand why I suffer here. Hehehe. John Lennon has inspired me in so many ways, and has been the root to many of my principles in life. As for Yoko, I think she is kind of unjustly hated by so many. Yes, she's probably the reason behind The Beatl...

I have been around that field and have had many personal experiences (outside the UAE) with pain killers. I don't know if I should list a few so that people can know if their friends and/or loved ones are under such influence, but I will avoid that for now until I get confirmation from any of the Mo...

Icenic

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if these were true, considering how much propaganda existed back then. Movies like Reefer Madness are the strongest example of that. I guess that why revolution was more common back then. Today we have all these intolerance rules and morally correct terms and such, m...

Hello, I've recently began learning to play the Alto Saxophone, and was hoping to get some guidance/tips about this. I would love to learn with a proper tutor, but I honestly can't afford such expenses right now. However, i am a fast learner, and I do know how to play a few instruments already, so I...

Two books here: 1. The 48 Laws of Power, by Robert Greene. This book is brilliant. Although some might find the methods immoral, they are effective nonetheless. 2. The Great Philosophers: From Socrates to Turing, Edited by Frederic Raphael and Ray Monk. A book discussing the different works and stud...

I'm the fourth! Let DD keep the wonderfully gruesome signature!!

Icenic

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That was frikkin' hilarious!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Icenic

Thanks for the link and tip

I will definitely be checking them out, since I've been walking down that road for a couple of years now.

Icenic

Thanks for the tip :) And I completely agree with you on learning it yourself. I only want someone to help me learn the basics, since it's kinda difficult to learn techniques on your own. When it comes to sax, there a lot of different techniques out there, one of them being the Altissimo, one of the...

Icenic

Hahahahaha!! Guru Josh!! Cooker heads? :P Yeah I've found it really difficult to find music schools with sax teachers in Dubai. Back in Lebanon, my old guitar teacher plays almost every instrument I can think of, and excels at each one. If only he were here or I was there, I would have been jamming ...
