No, I prefer sitting with everyone together, but usually there are only a few non-smokers stuck at one end and the cloud of smoke still makes its way down there. I can't be around a lot of cigarette smoke, so that's why I ask. Hubby and I should be able to come!

I saw it on a TV news report - how do you expect me to link to that? It was BBC I believe. As you said already a few sentences above - some women are still wearing Burkhas, so what does that tell you about the rights of women in Afghanistan? The women don't feel safe because if they don't wear then ...

Here are some articles, documentaries etc. that tell about women in Afghanistan. Even if the Taleban are gone, the men still hold many of the same attitudes and opinions about women. The bottom line is that when women can gain more power it will help turn things around. They are in a position to gai...

Well, my hubby is a "nice guy" who still managed to find love and marriage. Nice guys don't always finish last. Maybe nice guys who lack self-confidence and can't tell a woman he likes her will finish last.

When my sis and I were little girls, our cats devoured the leftover meatloaf we took out of the fridge to make meatloaf sandwiches. We were happy because we hated meatloaf! Pets can certainly come in handy sometimes

kanelli

I can't believe I bothered to read that drivel.

kanelli

You can still be nice and not get walked on. It is all about being assertive when necessary.

kanelli

rvp_legend, who do you suggest takes power in Afghanistan? It looks to me like many men in the political arena in Afghanistan are rotten and have been involved with corruption and unsavoury characters in order to achieve their own goals. Who is suitably non-corrupt to take the job and find enough no...

Sorry, multiple post.

Sorry, multiple post.

Maybe she thinks the little students will hit on her if she shows her stunning face.

I have a friend who needs a quilt put together for her. Her mom has embroidered beautiful patterns on some squares and they want to put everything together with some fabric between the squares, and then add padding and a backing. Then they want some machine quilting done on top to add some more text...

I thought alina was leaving?

kanelli

I have mine set for my approval before anyone is added to my list. I selectively add people, so don't have a huge list.

kanelli

I'll just pretend she is gone then.

kanelli

so, there's nobody who wants to go on a blind date here :( i dont mean completely blind..we can exchange pix, we can chat up..etc, etc. What can't you understand? We already said that this forum is not a dating forum. Also, trying to persuade someone to meet you after you have barely contributed to...

kanelli

I totally agree Nick. I think that some people assume that nice guys are the ones who just give 100% to the woman and let themselves get walked on. That isn't a good definition at all. Any man or woman who doesn't respect his/her own wishes and limits when nurturing a relationship is not "nice&...

:lol: Superior :lol: I'm similar to you Noni, although I guess I do have a tendency to get bitchy sometimes, if I am going to get moody at all. Men can get pissy because they keep everything inside and finally blow up. If they communicated as much as women do to sort out their emotions, then they'd ...

kanelli

rvp_legend, be careful about accusing me of only paying attention to media propaganda. I could accuse you of the same thing. Some of your arguments are tedious and refuted according to many reports. Did you read any of the links I gave about the women in Afghanistan? Saying that Al Qaeda was created...

kanelli

What does the US's involvement with other terror-related criminals in other countries throughout history have to do with whether the Taleban should be allowed to run Afghanistan again? The Taleban have a crap record. It doesn't mean they didn't solve some problems in society or provide some stabilit...

Hegemony or Survival - that book looks interesting Shaf. I'm only used to reading Chomsky's linguistics books.

kanelli

Welcome back Zoots! Where did you holiday? Just got back from Malaysia myself. Fab place!

kanelli

Been up since 5 am and can't get back to sleep.

kanelli

So if the Taleban comes into rural villages and takes over, threatening the people and forcing them into submission - this is according to their will? The links I posted were from various sources besides CNN and CSM and the documentaries etc. have been shown on various sources. It is arrogant for yo...

kanelli

You in the duck pond Concord, or up as early as me as well?

DA, too bad you can't sleep either hun, hopefully you can have a nap sometime today!

kanelli

Can't sleep

I was asleep, but got up at 5 and that was it - no more sleep for me.

kanelli

Exactly Valkyrie, it is disgusting that those countries already possessing nuclear weapons are bitching about others developing then when they don't get rid of theirs in the first place. Also, at least the US is still continuing to develop nuclear weapon technologies - very disgusting. :evil: Boomto...

kanelli

The book likely has a reference list in the back for all the sources.

kanelli

Yeah, the most frustrating but most interesting forum perhaps.

do you think they mean it?

Maybe they are wondering too if I mean it?
