Truthfully Sniper, neither of us are from Afghanistan (unless you are haven't mentioned it before). Do any of us really know what the general population thinks there? What I note is that the only people killing soldiers in Afghanistan are the Taliban, and any warlords who can't go about their crooke...
Shaf, I haven't mentioned the invasion of Iraq once, I mentioned the gassing of the Kurds. The US did not gas the Kurds. It doesn't matter if they blamed Iran, or there wasn't a lot of international outrage - it was Hussein who dropped the gas bombs. (Talk about lack of international outrage - Afric...
Yes, it always rubs me the wrong way when I see countries complaining about war crimes when they have commited them themselves. I can never forget that the US chose to use nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Modern weaponry is dirty and nasty. If armies fought like in the old days, with limit...
I did not say Israel was justified - I was merely acknowledging their viewpoint. Please show where I said they were "justified" in using the cluster bombs in civilian areas. In fact, I said it was unethical of them to do so. I never claimed that Hezbollah attacked only from cities or towns...
Well, perhaps some people think that just because an army or guerrilla group is Islamic it is somehow more "moral" or "ethical" in the way it attacks. Shaf, please don't get me wrong. Everyone has a right to complain. I was simply pointing out before that countries/armies all ove...
Freza, why don't you teach us all how to be as wise as you? :lol: Shaf, by the way, what is IDF? I'm reading the Human Rights Watch report and they mention IDF without writing out in full what it actually is. The report is definitely saying that they can find little to no evidence of Hezbollah launc...
Come on Sniper, I'm allowed to be sarcastic now and then. Besides, I wanna be in the cool crowd, so I had better blame the US for all the world's woes if I want to fit in.
I noticed too that the PMs come if you post in the Romance forum. People, this website is not a dating service! Only losers PM women to try to get a date, especially if they don't contribute on the forum or try to come out to some events and meet people in person first. In any case, they should cert...
I don't care if poppy production has increased - the fact remains that there is a market for it. If people didn't use the drug, then Afghans wouldn't be growing poppies. The Taliban was very oppressive and that far outweighs the whole poppy production issue. The Taliban is not the same thing as Al Q...
A person can be fair and still healthy looking. Pale people can still glow, and have a pink colour in their cheeks and lips - all making a healthy appearance. I have always found it odd when people say they find those with white skin "sick" or "frail" looking.
Freza, we should meet in person one day. And you can meet the other DFers too who have been my friends for heading towards a year now. Together we can educate you on whether I am a phony person or not. You are most welcome to join us sometime.
I heard that in Nairobi there has been some cases of "businessmen" who bring a couple of hyenas with them when they go to collect their debts. And if the person doesn't have the money...
Yes, it may be the only way we will ever get along. I don't think you are a bad person at all, and have already tried to give you a break when everyone else was jumping on you a few weeks back. I would just appreciate some changes in the way you communicate your messages. As I have said before, you ...
Sniper, any of the mods can check people's IPs. I won't report any guys PMing me unless they are being really perverted or keep pestering me. A one off message by a person who could be completely nice, just trying to find a date in crazy Dubai, is not worth panicking over.
This country is like most others in the world, there is drinking/drugs, violence, domestic abuse, cheating, prostitution, corruption, injustice etc. It is certainly not as bad as in some regions of the world. I agree that this country feels safe from heavy crime, but then again one can feel the same...
Yes, Shaf, it has changed. That was the first time that I had seen a report that said that there was no evidence at some of the Israeli bombed places to support the idea that Hezbollah had attacked from there. It is very disappointing to see Israel lie like that, and for the media to be downplaying ...
I like the dark eyeliner that many Arab women wear. Even Cleopatra used to wear dramatic eye make-up. We have to remember that some styles of applying make-up might be cultural, so we have to be careful about dissing it completely. In come countries even the little boys and girls have dark eyeliner ...
I can't speculate about that. When labourers and taxi drivers and company personnel have held strikes here the police have been involved, people have been fired and deported. In this country, you can't freely protest because they are afraid it will turn violent and they will lose control.
