"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Oh and if you are female i would erm <_< Suggest abiding by Local custum when it comes to such sex when in the conservitive areas of the city.

If you are heading to the square i would suggest doing it when there is not a Prayer going on and taking Your pictures and leaving; I didn't actually stuck around and knelt towards Mecca everything. Islam is a very beautiful idealogy.

I usually like visiting all parts of a country/city,not only the ones designated for tourists. ...but I got your points,thanks.

Okay semi serious please ...

The store where I work is closing, and I might have the option to take over the location and run a store here myself ... and I am not sure if I should ... I mean my own business .... o.O

I have worked this location for almost a year, and can see why it is failing, I do know it will take time to bring store up, but I can see it ...

The prior owners follow a simple model that does not reflect the location, and do not pay attention to the clientele.

... But ... hmm ... I think I can do it ... not much difference for me, I already work here seven days a week open to close ... But I will be in charge ...

It's not Kabul or anything you won't run into gun totting insurgents generally upon the streets but sticking in and abiding local custum while within the Country is not only respectful but will ease Your time in the Middle east.

It's not as difficult or rigid as some make it out to be, But i would strongly advise to travel in groups within the Middle east i have traveled alone there but i was a trained soldier with only slight limb damage who could still recall a good portion of his CQB training at the time.

A bunch of aches and pains and dozens of shots of Whiskey later i probably would still travel alone but i would be a alot more cautious.

I see,I am not afraid of terrorists/rebels or anything(actually we have more terrorists were I live rather than in SA) ...I just have heard many times about people getting arrested over there... ...I'd surely be careful and respectful if I ever visited Mecca myself.

It was honest to god, just her take on the situation. There really shouldn't have been any more outrage about this comment than there should be about every "dating advice" column/video/etc ever. She didn't give the guys name and tell people to hunt him down, she just said it wasn't a good way to proposition someone, and why.

The real question here is: Why does everyone care so goddamn much? Seriously, it's scary.

More for me that all I can think about is how the other person is just thinking about how bad I am at it or how little they want anything to do with me.

Well :hug: I mostly get worried about how a lot of guys seem to find it off-putting if I ask them out. But honestly I can't just sit around waiting for Prince Charming.
