Racism..

[Gorbachioo]

Do you even have the slightest clue how bad it has been in our own part of the world? Dont come throwing rocks in a glasshouse mister. Take a look what have happened in the western civilisation the last few years in terms of the womans role in society and think about the causes.

Yes, I agree, Saudi Arabia is pretty dreadful when it comes to women, looking at their economic state and society. Money is not spread at all and I believe that might be one of the consequenses.

Though, in the case of Afghanistan. Let your country be ripped to pieces by war and bring some truly zealot christians with guns, and I believe we would go back centuries, in terms of the genusperspective and other areas too.

And any of this is relevant..... how?

Im not talking about what our culture was. (nor am i trying to say that we are superior beings if thats what you're thinking) Im talking about what their culture is today. (Not why it is what it is)

While brining criticism to their culture you have to think about the causes for it being that way, not just blindly flaming

Thats the point. Im not criticising their culture. Im just saying what it is.

If speaking truthfully about something sounds like criticism then you need to ask yourself could it be that theres something wrong with it?

For a prime example the other night I had some asian girl (not sure of her race so asian will do) start screaming at me because i told the bouncer in the smoking area that her mate was having a piss against the wall (he was in the pissing against a wall stance). He wasn't so I apologised and told the bouncer I was mistaken. She start threatening to attack me and so on, said sorry once more and she still went on. As she was leaving the area she started swearing at me in whatever language it was, so I returned in German (the only other language I know).

To me she was being rude and trying to intimidate me by swearing in her native tounge.

[[She then stood at the top of the stairs waiting for me at the top, fortunately my mate told her to go away or he'd have to get involved (he's a bouncer) and she went away. but thats not really relevant to the story hehe]]

Put yourself in her situation.

Personally I'd also be pissed if some tool accused my friend of something he hadn't done and squeal to the bouncer. Now that's rude. And no, an apology wouldn't make it all fine and dandy.

How the hell can you find it intimidating when people swear in another language? It's just the fucking same as swearing in English? Difference is you don't actually understand anything and can ignore it easier? :S Ah well guess that's you...

Its not just him if someone is shouting at me in English i can understand them and gage how serious they are being or if its bravado ect. Now someone shouting at me in another language is alot worse, they could be saying "your flies are open tit face" or "I'm going to wait by your car and cut your fucking face off" not knowing makes it worse imo.

And also not alot else he could do other than apologise unless he wanted to offer him out for a duel to salvage his honour

Put yourself in my position, the guy had just been spitting on the floor for the duration of my ciggy (the kind of spitting that is the oommmgggg im going to be sick) he then turns and assumes the pissing in the street position, now I don't know about you but I'd rather not have someone piss all over the smoking area.

What a pile of horse shit, how can you ignore something you don't understand.
