  • OK, so maybe this is more to do with politics than psychology, but I think there is a connection. I heard this report on the radio yesterday morning and it's been on my mind ever since. I think an understanding of psychology is necessary to understand the thought process over why more people don't seem to think like this. I thought others might appreciate it as much as I did, so I'm putting it up. Please share your comments. ERIC RUDOLPH AND CHRISTIAN TERRORISM The phrase you never hear. Here's a samp... Read More

    it's really good to get a specific example of the type of dual standards and hypocrisy we are subject to as muslims...thanks for bring ing this to my attention, i will definatel...
 
  • We think we have forever To change our ways We think we have another day To correct our mistakes We plan for our future Our long lives ahead But we forget about today Buying, working Wasting time Hours passing by so quickly While the meaning of life Is left behind The fear, the worry Lingers in the back of our minds Our hearts whispering Our conscience pressing But the temptations of the world Too alluring Justifications made for our wrongdoings Thinking there?s always time to change B...

  • Yet another pointless village that nobody will probably ever join, but if anyone deserves to have a village dedicated to him/her, there's nobody more fitting than the Beav. Here's a www.tvland.com to some general information on this classic TV show and its characters.

  • Sitting down for a personal meeting with Bill Gates this week, 10-year-old Arfa Karim Randhawa asked the Microsoft founder why the company doesn't hire people her age. Under the circumstances, the question wasn't so unreasonable.

    This is a news to me.
 
  • Carrie: I'm not home, but my shoes are. Leave them a message. * beeeeeeeep* Lets start if off with this quote. Short, succint, has shoes in it, and carries a deep piece of advice that modern women should pay heed to...emotional unavailibility. Carrie is not home, she is having fun, and after having taken much bulllshit, she is now emotionally unavailable. Couldnt we all just be like that?

  • Ok. Please do not take this as an racist rant. Many many of our guys are marrying outside the pool. So, then why should we wait around for desis?

  • The world's population at large is experiencing a rapid growth among the professional, single demographic. Fewer and fewer people are getting married before the age of 30---if at all. Why? My personal understanding was that it was b/c women in recent decades have been pursuing education and professional aspirations with equal zeal as men. Yet, the fact remains that nature imposes an "expiration date" on women. We will wilt and wither and pass our prime leaving us with dismal prospects if at all. However, our ... Read More

    M: couldn't agree more. Change in the traditional outlook is inevitable for sound and happy life; flexibility/openness is the key without undermining any laws of Islam.
    July 29, 2005 at 9:38am
    SB, here's the thing. i think the low rate of marriage and high rate of divorce within modern urban living is proof that the institution of marriage is under threat. There is ...

  • They say all wounds heal as time goes on But can they bring a person back from the dead when theyre already gone Because you can be alive and still not living When nothing you feel is worth believing I tried so hard to live up to peoples expectations But it has given me nothing but more hate and frustration Im still trying to learn to stand up on my own two feet But its so hard when even the victories feel like defeats Sometimes I look at my life and I hate it Then each time I realize the pain I was fe...

A WOMAN'S WORK IS NEVER DONE.. it goes, AND ITS NOT BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T TRY, SHE'S FIGHTING A BATTLE WITH NO ONE ON HER SIDE....ok, so that sounds a bit melo-dramatic, but what seems over the top for men, can be normal female behaviour...why did we ever let men's version of normal be a parameter for us as women???!!!! so i say, NO, WOMEN AREN'T MELO-DRAMATIC, MEN CAN BE UNDER-DR...
