One of many examples of the proud native Englishwoman's spelling and grammatical errors.

kanelli

EH, why are you so preoccupied with BM beyond the confines of your politics and religion forum? Don't tell me you've pulled a zonker too!

Geez, Granny's got game!

kanelli

Its the chardonnay, I'm sure.

kanelli

In which country are citizens restricted from voting based on their gender? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_ ... by_country

kanelli

Wow, just wow.

kanelli

Nucleus, I too thought you were going to equate the car analogy with a woman not covering all of her skin and therefore tempting men to take her.

kanelli

Ask peacock, the sad banned gang info-miner

kanelli

Kind of like the people who got banned from this forum. They were given multiple suspensions and still chose to carry on and then were banned. They have no one to blame but themselves, right European? :lol: Maybe this guy will continue his struggle from the Comoros Islands, much like how the sad ban...

kanelli

Is there an article that tells exactly the rights he and his group were fighting for?

kanelli

Being Miss Dubai Forums 2006 leads you to believe that DF is something special. It's an internet forum, and not that well supported. You need to move on into the real world. Yes, so special that banned people don't just leave, they come back under multiple alia to keep on trolling. They really need...

Actually, that's not true, drinking alcohol moderately can be beneficial for health. http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/AlcoholAndHealth.html

Moderately is key

kanelli

If I'm old and have heart disease, or high blood pressure, or type 2 diabetes etc., I don't think I'm going to worry about the odd gin and tonic or glass of wine.

kanelli

But what rights were they asking for that most Emiratis were vehemently against it?

kanelli

There are always groups who will stick their necks out to push for rapid change.

kanelli

FF, if someone has a genetic predisposition for heart disease, and moderate alcohol intake can add a few more years - that's a good thing. In most cases the person still succumbs to heart disease before any possible onset of dementia. Women metabolize alcohol differently than men and are more sensit...

I went to the movies several times but don't remember any disturbances by young kids. It was adults on cell phones and teenagers acting like hooligans that were ruining the movie for everyone. Hopefully they do something about that.

kanelli

See, one week they say one thing, the next they say another. As zubbber said, they have research going both ways.

kanelli

Wow, taking on a loan is not something to be entered into lightly methinks!

Ramadan Kareem

BM knows full well that nothing said has been a lie, at least not on my part.

kanelli

I'm an atheist and will still watch

kanelli

That's offensive Nucleus. When is the last time you read and critiqued an actual research article from a medical journal? Seems you rely on secondary sources like most other people. The fact is, there plenty of studies out there that say that moderate alcohol consumption can have health benefits for...

kanelli

No worries Nuc. My guess is that alcohol is mentioned in the Quran because intoxication creates terrible social behaviour, not because science shows that people will become ill with diseases because of alcohol consumption. If the science was know, then smoking would also have been on the prohibited ...

kanelli

Berrin, one doesn't need religion to be moral - there are so many examples to prove that. Then again, proof can be shown to you and you'd ignore it in favour of any kind of propaganda that supports your wacky and hateful views.

kanelli

If a divine knowledge of science and mechanisms of disease was known when the Quran was written, then anything containing nicotine and caffeine should have also been banned in the Quran. In Quranic times the average human lifespan was much shorter than today, so people wouldn't necessarily see the e...

kanelli

Red Chief, you don't have to justify yourself to Berrin.

kanelli

Nucleus, I never said that Mona was the only woman or first woman to speak out. I support all women who are pushing for positive change, even if they disagree with each other. Feminists often do disagree, because there are many different feminist ideologies and different priorities and paces for cha...

kanelli

You are right, the veil isn't the focus of the original article. Why don't we talk about what behaviour is from the dark ages then? I think that se.xually harassing women on the street who are not wearing Islamic clothing is pretty dark ages, as is arresting female protesters and checking that their...

kanelli

Leaving one's wallet out in public encourages the money to be stolen, so a woman who puts all of her body on display in public should also expect for it to be stolen too. Sound familiar? I certainly hope that men think they can control themselves. I've met tons of decent men who don't harass women. ...

kanelli

I personally am ok with female only toilets and female only boxing, tennis etc matches - and am also happy for men and women to have different dress codes (be it in schools, work or places of worship). I always have a wry smile at the 'equality' comment - as if recognising some differences between ...
