    Riots in London

    Mahdi jaan, just to clarify I never said that the protests, riots, and looting don't have a thing to do with social class or social upbringing etc. I definitely do believe that those things play a role for some of the people that are out there. What im trying to say is that there are a variety...

    Riots in London

    I really don't see why this has to be a black and white (no pun inteded) issue. Yes there are social aspects behind these happenings, and i'm sure that culture and economic problems have something to do with it too. I just feel like at this point, it's not really one thing anymore, if it ever...

    Rights to bear Arms!

    The right to bear arms is outdated, at least for the purposes that it was initially given for. You should be able to defend yourself and your home against criminals, but to think that allowing any modern day population to have guns is a protection against the government is a joke...

    Debt Ceiling issue

    I live in one of the bike friendliest towns in the US, so yeah i see it working. But i'm in a very small college town so i don't see that and a lot of other public transport working in big expansive cities such as OKC. From the time that I have lived here, debt seems to be a part and...

    Debt Ceiling issue

    Lord jaan i get this "crap" from personal experience. They have FAFSA here (federal financial aid). I have gotten enough to cover my tuition and a certain amount of living expenses, and subsidized loans on top of that. If your considered a dependant it's all based on how much you and your...

    Debt Ceiling issue

    Mahdi a tax increase wouldn't directly affect me but it would affect my father who is a small business owner. At this point in the game, a tax increase could prove to be too much, and other small business owners that I have spoken to agree. Wouldn't have minded it 5 years ago, but now it could...

    WTFFF!!!!Lara Logan breaks her silence

    You didn't say pretty high, you said highest. For me one rape is too high a number but compared to other countries, come on. All it takes is a quick google search. To get back on topic, you have pretty much blamed everything from her "ignorance" to the mens (sharks) nature for her being...

    WTFFF!!!!Lara Logan breaks her silence

    She admits her own ignorance but doesn't blame what happened to her on her ignorance. That is the difference.

    WTFFF!!!!Lara Logan breaks her silence

    and where did the statistic about the U.S having the highest rape rate in the world come from? With countries like South Africa, Lesotho, India, Zimbabwe etc. you honestly want us to believe that the U.S has the highest rates

    WTFFF!!!!Lara Logan breaks her silence

    She is a War Journalist. Of course she is concerned for her own safety. Matter of fact, she probably knows more about safety than anyone on this forum, so chalking this horrible thing that happened to her up to her ignorance is just ridiculous. She got assaulted on a day that was supposed to...

    WTFFF!!!!Lara Logan breaks her silence

    Behzad using you're argument woman should not even leave the house because there is always the possibility that they will run into some "sharks" and get raped. Matter of fact, they may not even be safe in their own homes because their husbands might be "sharks" themselves. You're...

    Osama Bin Laden Dead!

    Can we please at least wait to get some more info before going all cookey? The 6 years number is an unnofficial one (i can't find the article but one of the generals that headed the operation said it was 6 months).

    Osama Bin Laden Dead!

    Well this is what I mean about not letting our imaginations go wild without having all the info. We don't know if there was a doctor with him or if there wasn't. We don't have that information yet. Yes I agree that he was most likely under someones wing/protection there for a while. We'll...

    Osama Bin Laden Dead!

    Footballirani jaan, it wouldn't bevery smart to have the number one and number two of an organization in the same place at the same time, would it? If Zawahiri had been with them, they both would have died. And come on guys. If the U.S was gonna make up a story, don't you think that they...

    French ban on the burqa

    What right do they have to ban it but at the same time beat their chests and proclaim that theres freedom of expression and religion? The only real argument that could be made here is that it should be banned in certain places where covering your face and not being identifiable poses a great...

    French ban on the burqa

    Of course they should have the right to advocate and fight for their rights Behrooz. I mean, we even have sanctioned KKK parades here, and the majority see them as idiots but they still have the protection of the law to express themselves. I'm sure that the majority in most of these...

    French ban on the burqa

    Behrooz i have seen you constantly compared European countries to the Arab/Muslim ones, and it's something that confuses me to this day. Yeah you do HAVE to cover your hair in a country like Saudia Arabia, but it's because they are a tyrannical and repressive country where minorities have no...
