The question sounds cute. Reminds me of the days I tried to FORCE the soul to exist and to have a place, but finally it didnt fit anywhere!

BTW, Congrats TJ, seeing your name up there was promising!

what happened to me was a looong road, but for start I would recommend you this website which someone from this forum recommended to me: http://www.humanism.org.uk/humanism. Unfortunately he is not around anymore. Go through Richard Dawkins books as well, although I like his older books more than ne...

Hey guys, have any of you ever worked for them or with them in UAE? I need some information and analysis rather than what they publish in their websites. so I would appreciate if you share your experience. I want to know more about the big major ones, but overall how is the consultancy business work...

Mostly strategy consulting, like BCG,Booz & Co., Bain and co., Monitor, L.E.K and other firms like these.

PMed!

nice pics and the sheep are so cuutteee!

The horses look like unicorns!

I'm not defending Sarah's views, I just see a bunch of immature people bashing a young girl who's far away from the reality of us adults. People are too blind to understand that there is a gap between them and her. Such a waste of money that has been spent to educate such people. That s a very good...

Mel, sadly you too miss the point. Sarah says she wants to date a blue-eyed, blonde, white hottie - er how is that US enforcing OUR values on her? She's the one wanting to go against all her values, not the other way around luv. You are making fun of her because of importance of virginity before ma...

Do we need to know what DDS's friend was doing to the local girl?!!

Well yes, in a time where morality was almost non-existent, lessening the evil would be the start, leading to an eventual banning of it completely. It is not just the start, as it has been mentioned in Islamic literature many times, their laws are universal and are valid forever! ... fyi - men and ...

This is Ahmadinejad, when he was young! So what s the next quesion Icenic? "Who believes Holocaust was real?"

But to put it plainly, in the site of "GOD" , men and women are both judged within the same framework of deed and faith. Says who? you? or God told you himself? Besides, if the rules and laws on the earth didnt treat them equally, why they should be judged in an equal way? Your God should...

I studied about it K, and as you know I m living in an Islamic counrty. Most of it is religous, not cultural.

Zubber, sorry I dont believe in your scriptures!

I studied about it K, and as you know I m living in an Islamic counrty. Most of it is religous, not cultural. You are mistaken, it is quite the opposite No, you are mistaken! Religious rules are quite clear, and they are very different from cultures. at least from persian culture! The problem lies ...

Persian culture ? I am referring to the culture in the middle east, what is being practiced is culture and nothing related to religion, what part of the world are you talking about exactly ? LOL. at least use google before showing your "wisdom"! Middle East, Iran, Persian... sounds famili...

Clearly you are unaware of the fundamentals of the interpretation of the text. And your "study" was inadequate, but not to worry, a thorough unbiased revision would be a good place to start. Good luck yea right!!! Dear, first you need to educate yourself about countries in middle east, th...

Thanks sym for sharing the information.

I totally agree that culture and religion is different. My point was, the unfair rules towards women is not cutural but religious.

My point was, the unfair rules towards women is not cutural but religious. And my point was , They appear to be "unfair" because of the improper understanding of the religion. aha so are you one of those who bring up new version of religion? for example in your new version, having 4 wives...
