Reincarnation - Which Door?

Topic locked

You stand before two identical doors. Behind one door is the lover of your dreams, yours to be with for life. Behind the other door is a tiger, eager to maul and devour whatever it can sink its paws into. You don't know which door the tiger is behind.

Poll ended at Feb 22, 2009

Walk away without opening either door. No way am I taking that chance

The risk is worth it! Open one of the doors.

The risk is not worth it, but walking away would make me a coward. Open one of the doors.

Open both doors, because I'm guaranteed to at least see my lover, even if death follows immediately afterward

Open both doors, because I have a perverse and reckless nature.

Like a flash of well turned ankle in Saudi Arabia!

Mind you, over there she would be stoned. Over here she might be stoned...

Define the word as you find suitable.

At the end of the day , a nude is a nude, this photo could turn a man on even more than full pornography scene. Plus what really makes me don’t want to see this thing here because this forum represents dubai, a country with it’s Islamic Arabic culture that it’s people would love such sites to come up but not this way.
The doors case is completely irrelevant to the photo and I was surprised when I read the poll about how would you react in that silly situation, I mean come on. This is directly posted to get at MBs nerve , but it’s an irresponsible conduct.

I really suggest that perverts right-click on the photo and get it downloaded then it should be removed from the forum.


You see that's the problem right there! It's a nude! So what? It doesn't mean it has to be viewed in a s.e.xual way. Do you see Michael Angelo's 'David' as a s.e.xual piece? No you don't - it's art!

The naked human form doesn't have to be viewed in that manner. If you see all forms of nudity as something s.e.xual, then I'd have to say there's something wrong with you.


Hi Choco, hang on there and don’t jump into conclusions as it’s still too early to do so unless you know me more.

Talking of nudity being not really sexual, apparently you are female so you wouldn’t feel how men would . I was referring to the possibility that people may hypothetically get sexually tempted by all means.

And more importantly, that this forum represents a name that I respect and a country with its own values, literature , heritage , cultural and religious practices ( which obviously being underestimated by you guys ) and I really see a good future over the horizon for this forum, many people can benefit from it, I don’t want Etisalat to ban it for UAE users because I am sick of that as well. Do you know where I am coming from now ?

Art is art for real , but that photo really wasn’t an art come on, I know what art is , f you really wish I can send you lots of artistic hard works and pretty much appreciated photos and crafts . That photo was 90% photoshop work, I see no contemporary art but a naked woman body to add a value to it, if that woman wasn’t in a nudity situation, no one would bother.

You just don’t want to take chances by allowing it to remain there , if you open this door for people to upload photos as they fancy, Admis will spend their whole days deleting photos etc.

By the way, if you wish I could really give you some good links to site with artistic nude bodies of men and women, all you need to do is to ask .

And yes I am glad that at this age I could still be turned on by seeing those bodies because many folks don’t haha ..

What you're saying about the forum is fine, agreed.

But a disagree totally and utterly with your other comments. So as a woman I cannot appreciate the female form? Wrong!

It also depends on what you class as 'art' because believe me I have seen and even created artistic works with alot more on show than that.

You couldn't see the whole of her nudity, nothing was on show, plus the tattoos covered most of her skin anyway. That's no different to a completely nude girl having on nothing on than body paint, but you still can't see her 'nakedness'.

I see beyond the s.e.xual connotations of the image.

I am glad that you finally agreed, appreciation is something else(and I were you i would have right-clicked on it and saved it on my desk top :) i may as well save it as a wall paper ..

you should agree with me that a female by nature would see it from a different perspective that a male would.

I am glad that you could see beyond the sexual connotations of the image, but what makes you sure that everyone does ?

anyway, I really appreciate your interaction in here , what time it is ?

What makes you think that some women wouldn't find that image attractive? Depends on your preference now doesn't it?

Of course not everyone will see beyond the s.e.xual connotations, but I put that down to a lack of mentality to do so. I studied art and media and photography etc etc, so I don't necessarily see the s.e.xual side first. The first thing I thought, was what an amazing image, nicely compositioned, good pose, tasteful and oh yeah hot chick!

I never saw the image, but have to agree with mesheditor. If a forum member or a few forum members think an image is too risque for Dubai Forums with lots of Muslim members, then then why not ask for the image to be removed. Many moons ago I had a squabble with some men (and one woman) when some of the female members didn't like a few of the members' avatars. Surprisingly, I didn't get much back-up from the more Islamic-minded people posting at the time. (Maybe they enjoyed the images too much :)) This is why I will back mesheditor up. Some images of nudity are definitely beautiful, but that doesn't mean this forum is the place for them.

As for the question, I answered that I wouldn't open either door. No way I will risk getting mauled by a tiger, and anyway, after some years of marriage to that person of your dreams, you'll likely feel like you are being mauled by a tiger anyway :lol:

yeah , choco I read some of your posts describing yourself as a very open minded and the rest supposed to be narrow minded and stereotypical when compared to you , man you full of yourself and better look at your very own behaviors and comments .. you tend to be very pretentious on this thread and always attacking people in their own personalities rather than giving a good constructive criticism or move on. when I asked "what" didn 't really expect you to respond to it .. it was more like a hint that I don't really wanna go further.

my comment about the fat woman etc not necessarly applicable to you or on all fat women but you know its true , aint it ?

Okay, seeing as you're not really 'getting it', it looked like you were stating that only 'lesbians' could appreciate it from a female point of view. Which is not true at all.

Typical of Westerners!

To think all human beings are cast in the same mould as disgusting homosexual immoral lascivious pornography-loving incestuous drunkard drug-abusing beastiality-loving lewd promiscuous Westerners is the height of ignorance and perhaps even stupidity!

Because most of your fellow countrymen are! You only have to visit a beach here on the weekends and see them hiding in bushes jacking off, or photographing little kids runing around on the beaches to see it.

So if you aren't taking this thread "too seriously" mesheditor, why did you ask for the picture to be removed? Are we only supposed to worry about offending you, but the rest of us need to take things less seriously?

He is an Emirati, and you are a Western foreigner to Emirates with total disregard for Emirati culture, customs, religion, tradition and norms.

His opinion carries far more weight than some wandering tourist from lascivious immoral drunken-stupor-loving drug abusing nations.

kanelli and chocoholic, girls I don't know what is wrong with both of you and sorry I'm getting out of the post subject here but haven't you noticed that in all your post you never seem to agree with anything and always always always think you are right? I mean can't you be mistaken for ones. Comaan girls you can't be this smart and informative of every thing in this world. Even scientists has only one field they are good at but the both of you seems to be an expert on everything, haven't you thought of this before ?
this shows your viewers that you are only threadpostsholic and not more than that and the more you do this the more creditability you are loosing , I know that everyone has a mind of his own but you have passed this point by far , as far as I'm concern I started scrolling down your replies bcz I already now its ingredients , you both became so predictable ! to a sickness point I would like to call ( I'm always right symptoms )..
