Salaama To ALL The whole Stock exchange business is done behind closed doors meaning you the consumer or the potential buyer of a bond...will have no say in where your investment is exchanged once u choose a designated company...let's say u are a share holder for General Mills Electric...who's to say General Mills won't exchange your little investment in the Playboy or Wine establishments in search of making you the consumer buy more bond or do further relations with the company u invested your money in. In my opinon, the stock exchange is haram in that it is a dirty little business which operates undercover meaning you won't see nor acknowledge where the company you invested in is exchanging or with who your company is dealing business with. My father brought me and my other siblings shares in Islamic institutes which was mentioned above.....and my dad keeps on top of things calling and watching where our investment is being put into to good use in return not putting riba( interest in the mode of debts) on our final money estimation...anywho there are good companies to invest your share in but you have to be an alert consumer and really wise in which company you buy a bond from...even tho you also will be selling but still there are Playboy,Wine and Casino establisments who exchange in the Market so in that matter it's haram i believe. It's a business where a win win situation is irralevent......it may seem so with all the 20 year old who have already hit the jack pot but you also have to know that Islam was not their religion at heart, my family has bonds but without riba and with only Islamic institutes around the world...one being SoundVision outlets. AliSomali basically said what i mentioned above Ma/Salaama [This message has been edited by DIRAC_N_TIMZ (edited 05-09-2002).]

salaama To all once more Suga gal u too sweet..thnx maybe i'll become a fashion guru..lol Hibo...hun there u go...i'm glad some one is actually getting my point...without attacking me....good lookin out sis Soul_Lady....gal u are disecting my quote a bit heavely....we should accept out state but wouldn't u want to change that mentality that women are second class citizens of the world...now when i say BEHIND....i don't literarly mean that....i mean woman are behind supporting,motivating,encouraging and loving their men to become more successful individuals and who's to say some men don't do that infact i'm pretty sure some are out there cooking and cleaning.....some are even tending the garden..lol..while their women are out there making a success story out of themselfs.....in any case again by behind i did not mean behind in significance......if u want women are beside or infront of their men...okey dokey aight....and we are behind them supporting in that we are their back bones in life Medman....leave your mark...or maybe u did insulting my view and the admins deleted....lol...job well done admins.. what ever the case might be.....we've been hit by a smooth criminal Much luv gals

Hibo Well gal i know that A LOT of GOOD MEN are treated this way also but i wanted to seek this problem coming from a womans point of view. And your interpretation of my question is great in that the central question should be "why do u take the person in your life for granted" but i'm sure the males out there are not easily and openly welling to admit that a "woman" treats them bad since it would be a threat to their manhood(whatever that means!!), whatever the case may be i wanted to state this issue from a females point of view and maybe. And i do believe that women have it bad then their male counterparts to tell u the truth.......a man can walk out of a relationship any time....but the mentality of our culture won't see a woman walking out as a fit thing to do....so there is a double standard that "our" culture limits us to.....anywho I hope u fully comprehend what i'm saying funky Gal: it's said that a great issue is worth hiding in the bushes for....so "Behind every successful man there is a strong WOMAN"

salaamA To one and all "Behind every successful man there is a strong WOMAN" now this quote could not have been put in any more simplistic manner. With support and maybe a little conventional "nagging" ladies are behind all those that claim themselves to be a success story After all the ladies do why do MEN still treat their female counterparts like second class citizens...which is very prevalent in the east.......what i'm trying to get at is after all the years a woman would stick by her man why would he cheat? why would he lie and the most critical why does HE lay a hand on his woman? maybe he does all this becuz he gets TOO comfortable with his woman around and installs in his mind that "SHE AIN'T GOING NO WHERE" Woman build their self dignity up only if her MAN allows it....now this lil' tid bit i read in an article...and i was like "oh hell no that ain't right" woman are the backbone of the human race but why does her MAN seem to burden her soul? What U MEN need to do is treat your luvs with respect and honor her for she is a fruit of ALLAH'S beautiful creations. Woman breath life into your souls when u MEN were down and lost ya way........and no they aren't an orniment for your arm but a prize YOU'LL NEVER WIN!! IT is a blessing to have YOU but why won't YOU cherish,luv and honor ME? AnyWho care to share your two cents and no i don't MEN bash.....well i try not to......well maybe i am an undercover MEN basher...whatever the case may be i'de like to hear from some of you guys and plz make me make us ladies understand why u take the women in your lives for granted? "LIVE WELL.......DIE FREE"
