I have to agree with Bettina, I think it is total crap what girls have to put up with. I don't think the Iraq war or anything is helping, but I do agree. I can't wait for the (sadly unlikley) irony when it backfires and all the men are slaves to the women due to a new religion that preaches men are inferior.

Although personally, wether my girlfriend wears a bikini and flip flops, or a sweater, shirt, jeans, boots, and a ushanka, it actually won't make a difference to me. [sarcasm]If the clothing makes that big of a difference, then lay off the vaiagra. [/sarcasm]

Speaking of Islam and violence:

Al Jazeera Article

These are the key points:

A court in Azerbaijan has jailed two journalists for writing and printing a newspaper article that was critical of the Islamic religion and the Prophet Muhammad.
...
Soon after the article appeared, an Iranian cleric - angered by its depiction of Islam as a violent religion - offered his house to anyone who killed the journalists

It sounds like a comedy sketch, and it would be funny if it weren't so sad. Not all of Islam is violent, but there is a branch of Islam that has so embraced violence that they have completely abandoned rational thought.

lmao

Actually, some people are just born without rational thought. Remember that guy who set his reproductive system on fire because he thought it would be cool?

Careful, Tiger. You're dangerously close to implying that [some group of people] are born without rational thought.

Nobody is born w/ rational thought. Think about this for a minute and consider why people think rational.

Ah, yes, quite true. Thank you, Gren.

The term here should probably be \"capacity for rational thought\".

Natural selection comes to mind ...

Sorry. I should have made it a bit clearer that that was supposed to be part-sarcasm.
