The simplistic approach to showing the complexity of the situations. His mind never admitted how much he loved his aunt, but he loved her in the sun filled days from when he was but a young nino.

Is it just me or are there just too many VEs in this village? I am finding that I am developing pain in my fingers from trying to keep up with all the villages! They are all really good and I'd like to participate but even as a full time naseeber, I think I'm gonna have a breakdown... Keep your thoughts/ideas for a VE to yourself until some of the existing ones drift away from the subject area.. Or maybe I'm just getting old!!! :(

Wow... I'm really surprised that this book hasn't been mentioned in this village yet. This is a great book. It chronicles the life of an Afghani girl, Farah Ahmedi, in her own words and her struggles living in Afghanistan as she tries to persist despite numerous and seemingly insurmountable obstacles. What I enjoy the most is that the book is non-fiction and that the accounts are written by a Muslim (an true insider's view) of a very recent Afghanistan and a real voice for the problems going on there. It is... Read More

When his personal hygiene and love life started to suffer, he sought medical help. After being referred from one specialist to another, he finally came across a doctor who solved the problem. "The good news is I can cure your headaches... The bad news is that it will require castration. You have a very rare condition which causes your testicles to press up against the base of your spine. The p... Read More

yeah there are lots of amazing experiences one has when growing up in saudi.. but things i don't miss are: watching your dad and uncles crowding around a window in your flat to point out the city square and crowds gathered there (after a public beheading/ limb amputation they've just attended...) women not being able to drive.. women (mum and aunties) being chased down the street by mutawwas - religious police - because they weren't covering their hair 100% (when we lived in a small town)
December 18, 2007 at 7:19amto be fair though, there were positive aspect to living there, and in a number of ways I do cherish memories of time spent with friends--especially at Eid invitations and also w...

Alright... This one is subtle!!! Read carefully There was this snail who wanted to be a Formula One racing driver. He went along to the track and asked if he could drive. The racing team manager said, ?Yes, but you can't have a number on your car, you can only have an 'S' because you are a snail.? The Snail was okay with this is so he entered the race. The race started and the snail's car was at the back...but suddenly he sped to the front, over-taking all the cars and won!! As the spectators saw the S... Read More

And my other friend is 200 pounds, world arm wrestling champion and is also a natural blonde. Do you still want to tell me that blonde joke?'' The man thinks for a whil... Read More

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were camping out one night. Tonto, after having a very bad dream, woke up to see the stars up above him. He woke the Lone Ranger and said to him, "What you think?" The Lone Ranger replies reassuringly, "Well, Tonto, it's like this, God gives us miracles in life. Each day is a new beginning, just like every night there's a new star in the sky. What do you think?" Tonto looks at him, confused and says, "Tonto thinks someone stole tento."

Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him - "very quick." The lawyer said that the speed for getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions: LAWYER: "Have you any grounds?"

September 5, 2005 at 2:11pmThis is so disguisting. It only angers me to think what kind of people are calling themselves muslims these days.

June 29, 2005 www.counterpunch.org Manufacturing Support How the Washington Post Lied about Its Own War Poll By MIKE SCHAEFER In a deceitful boost to Bush on the morning of his Iraq address, the Washington Post and ABC News released a poll of U.S. public opinion on Iraq. But the Post's numbers in their print version (in the body of the article) underestimates the "Out Now" position by more than 3 times.
