For an advocate of "reading between the lines" you don't seem to practise it a lot. Sorry if I sound harsh, but 298 posts later you should have figured out where the land mines are buried. try not to strain anything in your attempt at a comeback.

Hey, you put us in this category, what ever qualities or lack thereof associated with it are fully at your mercy. So feel free to assume I actually care what new misconception you wish to attach

HA little does Ms. Amethyst know that we have a 'category' for her too....funny thing is her signature is more correct than she knows

SOLUTION: forget being trendy and social for about a yr or two and save every penny you get. Don't pay ANYONE in that time period. Once you've amassed the necessary funds, march into your bank (or collection agency depending on how deliquent your accounts are) and BUY YOUR FREEDOM. Key point: doesn't matter how bad your credit score is as long as you didn't declare bankrupcy, once all accounts are settled and you have a steady income with no debt, you'll have calls from your bank offering you credit in a matter of months. The alternative is pay monthly payments which are mostly interest with half your cheque while trying to keep up with the a whole bunch of people who are as broke as you are and you'll be chained to student loans and credit cards 4 LIFE. Sacrifice now and enjoy later or suffer now and suffer later.

I guess when they introduced the "If You Love Something Let It Go If It Comes Back To You It's Yours. If It Don't It Never Was" lesson you ditched class.

Listen man, I know fillet mignon every day can be tiring and some times you wanna sneak off for some nyam choms....but brother please, the only way you're catching some loose tail in Dubai is if she's invoicing you at the end of the night. And then you had to start a whole topic about your juvenile fantasy. which further leads me to believe that you're actually dumb enough to be proud of what you wish you could do. they say "The truest characters of ignorance are vanity, and pride and arrogance.". Maybe you missed the part in the "True Playa" handbook that said "The game ceases to be a pleasure, when it ceases to be a secret."

DOG SOLDIERS...best werewolf movie ever. Denzel washington did a British movie back in 1989 called " For Queen and Country"...that was pretty good.

If I was in the situation I would be at a cross road of two lifestyles Consider the 2 lifestyles: 1) I live by the ongoing social standards. I accept other people will do things that are not OK with me and I think thats thier problem not mine. it's fairly normal to have a bf/gf spend the night even though I won't do it myself. 2) I live by the same standards I was raised and I will immediately voice opposition to anything I believe to be wrong. I'd rather be myself and have other either respect me or despise me for my principles rather than keep those principles to myself for fear of being a social outcast or thought to be old fashioned. In this scenario, I would be in a dilemma where I chose lifestyle #1 for my roommate and lifestyle #2 for my family. Now I could probably find a quick fix and tell stories to simplify the issue to both parties. However, I would be wise to disregard the roommate, the family member, the media and the world and then focus on who I am and which set of social principles I am willing to make a stand for. It would be hypocritical to try and play for both teams, so I will either present my roommate with the reasoning as to why his/her practise is immoral and wrong and ask them to rectify the situation... OR... tell my family member to get with the program, accept social norms and stop using the played-out archaic morality, it's 2005 not 1955 I can't have it both ways at some point I will have to choose. One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes ... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility. - Eleanor Roosevelt

If the guy doesn't want you, don't force yourself on him. Let it go, leave it alone. learn from your mistakes and remember the lessons for you next situation. don't feel sorry for yourself, don't feel sorry for him. Don't him or yourself. MOVE ON. ------------------------------------------------------ What shal a girl do when the one she loved left her for another She should try and figure out what she did wrong and fix it for the next time when the one she likes is still in love with ex she obviously isn't as good as his ex if he's still thinking of her. She's got to step up her game and improve herself before he decides to leave when everyone that shows interest in her is either pscho or she is not interested She should lower her standards When all her guy friends are either interested in her for more than she can offer or she has huge crush on them She should figure out what she wants and then work towards it when all her real girlfriends are busy with school and her new so called friends are so shallow they can't think beyond shoes and lady vuitton bags She should got home a pray 2 rakco sunah and read some quran when she has 30k in student loans and nothing to show for it Get a Job, Get a Job, Get a Job when instead of researching how Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) effects corporate america she is on SOL responding to useless threads She should not feel guilty about sharing thoughts with her kin instead of worrying about a bunch of beauracrats that are supposed to make her feel better about people in high places stealing more money than they should

Rendezvous, Cease Fire, Brotha, manake Wacha moto. I don't know what the walendo did to you but at last check masijui piya wako na pack yao ya pure players and pretenders and money pits. Usha anza kujidivide kutoka watu wako. Warya, wewe ni msomali for better or worse. Na hiyo summit yako ya ethics, nita kuja tudiscuss vile ulisoma walendo wote ukadecide 95% ni waongo. Thats some quantum level statistics. Here's another one for you: 90% of the people make up bogus stats to support bogus theories.

Considering the fact that we don't know what actually happened with her and the two men What if she willingly took part in the act? what if she did that and then tried to save her own a$$ by accusing the men of rape? Consider that for moment...there is chance she is not a victim. if that is indeed the case, I think she deserves more lashes than the men because her false statements could cause the men to get executed.

I don't believe this dilemma is limited to Africans or black people. The entire planet is divided and not along racial lines, not even along religious lines. The world is divided into the haves and the have-nots. We are Africans and we are deeply affected by and can easily recognize the problems in our home countries. But living in a western society the people here are caught up in a different trap which seems more humane than famine and civil war, but the financial debt systems in 1st world countries ensure their inhabitants worry about the next mortgage payment and credit card minimum balance and car payments. They live in a civil community that is slowly bleeding them while at the same time convincing them they live in paradise. Their leaders don't speak up for them either and the few that try to raise social awareness are calssified as anarchists and communists. Africa doesn't have that luxury. Blatant pillaging and greed by our so called leaders backed by foriegn governments and corporations has left the continent bare and unsafe. The few who spoke up against the inhumanity and suggested actual plans for reform were never able to find the right medium to enlighten the people and if they did they were soon silenced. The next generation have been raised in fear and hunger and have no idea what justice is, let alone how to pursue it. So that leaves us...yes the missing children of a needy continent. Education may be the key to it all but it might be counter-effective if we lack the intelligence to separate the skills and strategies we need to fix the problem from the thinking and system that caused the problem in the first place. A lot of us feel that something is wrong but we can't focus long enough to clearly recognizing the symptoms, identifing the causes and produce remedies that will cure the person, then the community, then the nation and finally the continent. It's not enough to have a forum to speak, but what will you say when you get the chance?

Originally posted by Shyhem: .....I didn't see anything wrong that the developed nations did....... The developing countries have an option,they can live with the little they have or indulge in debt.The choice is theirs and i don't understand why they should be crying about money they knowingly and happily borrowed with all the conditions that comes with it. Saxib, I don't think you have all the facts. The developed countries did something wrong. What they did is set up Trade and tariff agreements that make it impossible for 3rd world countries to export and benefit. It may sound like a conspiracy theory but they got set-up to fall. Check out some of the issues on this site: Global issues In my opinon Unfair global trade and capitalist greed is the #1 killer on the planet (if not the only one after natural causes and accidents).

Originally posted by DinkiWinki: I don't belive Muhammed was a real prophet...are you telling me that i will not be given the oppurtunity to illustrate why i hold this view, without the threat of getting banned? Like the Mod pointed out, this is a privately funded site and your veiws are balsphamous to say the least. You seem to be on a hunt for an argument. For you to suggest that our religion is false is a direct attack on our way of life. If you want to educate yourself on religion, go ahead and ask appropriate questions. If however, you persist in taking uneducated shots becuase of your godless principles, you are in the worng place. So you and Darwin and his apes can all stop propergating hate and keep your confused standards to your Sodomite-loving, innocent-people-killing self.

I'm in total agreement with you.

FF, you maybe correct, I think I'm using previous statements from other post and the graemlins to draw an unfair picture here...for that I apologize. However, don't you think that they are the ones in wrong if they are bringing out so much anger in me? Isn't my life my own to live? If one has nothing good to say---they should keep their mouths shut--unless they are really advicing you. But as muslims here---we already know what they are telling us. Are they really adding anything new to what we already know? No. So what you're saying is that you should be allowed to do what ever you please whenever you please? and also that knowing the Muslim way is enough and living by it is optional and everyone should mind thier own business? Well I guess that gives me the right (yes I said the freedom of opinion and speech) to look down on you and belittle you when you demean yourself by doing things outside your faith... and the right to say something to you about it. I'm not claiming to be an expert and I don't need a license. You do what you want and I'll say what I want. We're not mindless drones, You see something thats not right (in your perspective of course) say something about it. If someone says something about you and/or what you're doing, try defending your position instead of being shocked someone spoke up. If one has nothing good to say---they should keep their mouths shut--unless they are really advicing what does this mean? selective criticism? Try to stay on topic (the topic isn't me)

Originally posted by -Femme Fatale-: It's the thought that counts afterall. However, its those people who say their little advice looking down on your with a smirk, like your a complete ***** , that get my goat. :mad: They are not saying it out of kindess but to put you down and compare you to others in a negative light. They almost have some kind of high from it. I'm sorry you feel so angry at anyone who would say anything to you BUT everyone's not out to get you or put you down or make you look bad. Is the thought that someone might actually care so foriegn to you? I don't know what negative life experiences you've had but they seem to have successfully turned you into a paranoid skeptic. You should take a chance and try something new like trust, forgiveness and compassion, you might be shocked at how good they feel.
