EH never has and never will admit to it. You can't squeeze blood from a stone.

^^^ Ignored, and rightfully so after reading the first two words " Political Zionism " because the rest is just going to be a repeat of previous jibberish. Berrin life is already difficult on this forum as it is with all the infestations here without you interjecting every topic with your...

I'm reading it as well.

Andyba, have you seen this site? http://openmedia.ca/ They are also praising the defeat of the ACTA (this time around), but they are now fighting the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal under negotiation by a group of 600 industry lobbyists - http://stopthetrap.net/

kanelli

The article isn't that bad.

kanelli

I don't think anyone should be allowed to regularly wear things that cover their entire face, and they should always comply with removing anything covering their face for identification purposes. Protestors should not be allowed to cover their faces either, which isn't a problem with most protestors...

kanelli

Shaf, you can hardly compare wearing high heels to wearing a burka. Do men force their wives and daughters to wear high heels before going out in public, lest they be considered inappropriately dressed to be around others, especially the opposite se.x? If wearing a burka isn't in the Quran, how do w...

kanelli

Shaf, you know full well that it is illogical to compare the two. Clearly your sister-in-law has received a bad education on Islam if she thinks that covering her face is required of her according to Islam. Has anyone cleared this up for her?

kanelli

Shaf, it is a fact that women are not told that they must wear high heels in public or else they are dressed inappropriately. That is not the case with a burka. Women are brainwashed that they are being immodest towards god and their families if they don't cover their faces in public. Shaf, can you ...

What can tenants do if their services get cut off - is there any legal recourse?

What deadbeat landlords if they can take huge lump sums of rent income and not even pay their bills.

In Singapore our condo committee always posted their meeting minutes and they also decided to post the names of the owners of each unit and the amount of condo fees accumulated by those who weren't up to date on their payments. It was a sort of name and shame that embarrassed some people into paying...

We had a crappy landlord in Dubai, he payed nothing for the place except his fees... as far as we know. I suppose it was possible he didn't pay those for 2 years and nothing was done to him or us because of it.

kanelli

How does a prospective tenant check if the landlord is paying the fees if there is no name and shame board up. Is the info only available to landlords, or can tenants freely enquire?

kanelli

Shaf, you're still illogically comparing apples to oranges. Did your sister-in-law convert from French into Mauritanian/British? How would that influence her to cover her face? If she is using Islam as the justification, and the Quran and Hadith say nothing about covering the face, she has the wrong...

kanelli

Don't men want to feel closer to god too? If women covering their faces brings them closer, wouldn't that work for men too? Muslim scholars should spend more time denouncing the veil than justifying its use and speaking out of both sides of their mouths - that women feel it brings them closer to god...

kanelli

EH, no one here has argued that what happened in that situation wasn't wrong - the woman clearly tried to abuse the fact that she had covered herself and could attempt to claim it wasn't her. Some people may think that this is only one of many reasons why the burka should be banned. (And in my perso...

kanelli

So seeing women wearing veils and gloves and taking on Saudi super-conservative cultural dressing is not alarming to you from a religious or cultural standpoint?

kanelli

So Shaf, you think they'll grow out of it and it is just a passing fad? If they don't, do you think perhaps their husbands and sons will grow up thinking that proper women cover themselves completely and expect their wives and sisters to dress that way? Do you think those women will tell their daugh...

Why not save yourself some money and annoying whale noises and do your own waxing at home?

kanelli

Ahem, I think you mean polycystic ovaries, not polysistic ovaries.

kanelli

I'm sorry, did I upset you with the waxing video? I was just trying to be helpful!

kanelli

You should try a pair of fit flops, they may help you with your problem.

I have absolutely no issue with women choosing to wear the veil and then telling their children and husbands etc why they so chose to do so. I'd be surprised if they brought up their children to then go and oppress women and enforce their choice on them. I'd give the women (and men) more credit tha...

kanelli

Shaf, why exactly does she wear the veil if it isn't for religious reasons? Is her modesty being called into question by her husband? Are they living in France and she just wants to give the middle finger to the French authorities because of the burka/niqab ban? Does she work outside the home? I was...

kanelli

Society isn't evolving if they will accept the ridiculous notion that women are more pious or have better manners if they hide themselves under a sheet when the men aren't doing the same.

kanelli

Societies that have made huge strides to create more equality between men and women will certainly discriminate against a form of dress that says the following; All men viewing me are potentially dangerous to my personal safety and to my honour. My honour is based on how I am viewed se.xually. I am ...
