Lately I have noticed quite a few girls specifically mentioning that guys who email them be either permanent residents or US citizens, else they wont reply (some have retracted these statements ). What gives? What kind of discrimination is this? Does being a citizen imply a superior being or a better mate? I know there are some guys out there intending to marry just for the sake of permanent residency, but not all guys are like that.
June 21, 2005 at 11:13amI agree Zztopp that one's status should not be the reason for accepting or rejecting someone into your life, or for your judging their value, merit, or qualities as a human bein...
June 21, 2005 at 10:33amIrfani - you are right, but once again you cant generalise too much. As I said, it depends from person to person - there are various other ways to get a green card (H-1 B employ...
June 21, 2005 at 8:36amZz- yes some GREAT talents came to the US. The question on hand is regarding marrying people overseas and bringing them over in marriage. There are of course genuine exceptions...

Let's face it, the star wars saga wouldn't be complete without lightsabre duels. Which light sabre duel did you think was the best. Best not only in terms of skill, but also the environment where it was taking place. My favourite is the one from the Phantom Menace; Obiwan Kenobi and Quigon Jinn vs Darth Maul.
June 28, 2005 at 1:45pmqui-gon vs maul was awesome technically,but I don't think they beat the luke vs vader fights which had a lot more emotion and style in them.
June 21, 2005 at 8:56pmMost of the light sabre duels were pretty good. My 2nd favurite of the series was Mace Windu vs. Emperor Palpatine. This battle was pretty intense. I think it will be forever d...
June 21, 2005 at 2:13amThe Darth Maul duel doesn't make sense. Sure its luster is great, the actor does some great acrobatics and oh, theres a double sided lightsaber. But the meaning of the battle ...

Shahrukh khan and priyanka chopra have been signed on to star opposite of one another in the re-make of Amitabh Bachan's classic 'Don.' The movie is going to be directed by the director of "Dil Chahta Hai" hottie Farhan Akhtar who also directed 'Lakshya.' The movie is also said to star Akshay Kumar as the villian.
June 23, 2005 at 8:53amAh, Rekha! She was a beauty. I'm sure Priyanka can do anything sexy and hot. That's what half-naked actresses do best.
June 23, 2005 at 8:41amnothing can beat the original...zeenat aman and Amitabh...if you haven't seen the original then thus far your life has been a waste...that wuz a damn hot movie yaar! priyanka an...
June 23, 2005 at 8:02amYeah, I can imagine why a wife wouldn't want her man near Priyanka. Hmm...I don't even remember Akshay in Dil To Pagal Hai - just Madhuri and Shahrukh.

Could you imagine being single for the rest of your life or is it too scary a thought to fathom? What is plan B if Mr or Mrs Right never appears?
June 30, 2005 at 10:04amWaseem - I think most would still marry, but much, much later in life. It would probably look very much like present day mainstream society w/o religious / cultural constraints ...

I found this article on a muslim website today and wanted to scare you all, I mean share with you all.... Maybe there is a Jinn sitting in the corner of your room right now, or even one behind you. If so, then how will you deal with this creation of Allah? Learn Islam properly and you will be able to deal with all of Allah's creation - and not just the Jinn. By becoming true Muslims and followers of Islam, the fear of Iblis, Jinns and anything else will leave us - nothing will touch the Believer unless Allah ... Read More

By Sheikh Hisham Kabbani, may Allah ta'ala bless him and grant him a long life.

Some are able to comprehend the purport of the passage of time, and observe it with the eye of wisdom. Such people deal with time by grasping the reins of each passing day, utilizing their God-given vision to move their lives in the right ... Read More

From the Dept. of Most Encouraging Statistics: According to an Annenberg poll conducted this spring, about 40 percent of Americans consider Fox News talk show host Bill O'Reilly a "journalist" -- while only 30 percent of the people surveyed said they considered famed Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward to be one. (The poll was conducted from March 7 to May 2, before Mark Felt was revealed to be Deep Throat, but even if that news had boosted Woodward's number another 10 percent, would a tie between the two take...
