I recall that the Pharisees were respected 'old-schoolies' in Jesus' day. I'm sensing there's a negative connotation to the term 'Pharisee,' much like there's one for 'old-schoolies.' The Pharisees weren't "wrong" for preferring their old way to Jesus' new way, just like women who support American soldiers aren't 'wrong' for preferring to offer obediance rather than "conscientious objection." (To them, it's not "my country's right, and so my man obeys," it's "my country pays the men, if they obey.") I agree that--all-in-all--this is more monarchal than democratic. But--at the very-heart--people don't usually act on 'all-in-all'-terms, but rather "Quid pro quo"-terms ... if I do this, then I get That. Disagree? Join Here, Be Heard!

It's okay to "think for yourself," though some mistake 'thinking for yourself' for 'rebelling against tradition.' I'm saying--while it's good to be able to see the true reasons behind the uses of tradition--it's also good to remember that there are usually good reasons for tradition. The reason for the tradition in elections--steering the subject back again--is this: that the mass of the people is stupid ... oh, individually they're each sharp-as-a-tack; but I'll bet on a man with a baseball bat over one with a box of tacks any day (although I don't bet ... not when I can pay-off the man with the tacks lol). If any of the elected officials were really bad, I'm sure there would be some way for the Supreme Court to lock `em away; but they're not, so they don't. Disagree? Join Here, Be Heard!

(I learned quite a while ago that's it's usually better to pick on one point at a time, and it usually ends up being the last one mentioned.) Writing and getting published (as all Xomba-members do for FREE!), you automatically become a teacher. Young women who read your work will subliminally entrain themselves to either be more like you or be less like you. Egsovresy (like all the reading Xombies here) see that any good, smart young women will choose the former, and so we want you to guide them with wise-servitude rather than numbskulled-servitude. That was the implication I picked-up. Disagree? Join Here, Be Heard!

The scarfs, the gowns, the vails. It is to curb the temptation. This is how they think. The women keep covered to show their respect for the man. And the man wears the gowns to curb temptation from the women. This is very serious business to them. Like I said about your picture you are not showing respect to the man. Where are the stones?LOL Your quote... Iran is a sovereign state and has the right to acquire nuclear arms just like any other state too, whether we like it or not. We need to shift into a different gear and find a new approach. We are making them resentful. A spoiled kid is resentful when they don't get chocolate. Even though it is liable to give them a stomach ache. Here is the reason. Resentfull? No it is'nt. This is all about glory. This is how they prove they are a great warrior to allah. To get the rewards in heaven. They use a biblcal principal here. You tell how successfull you are by who your enemies are. Another principal with them is a certain ammount of people have to die before allah can come back. This is NOT a morality question it is a virtue question to them. And their virtue is to kill the INFADEL. Which means non believer. It is not a Soveriegnity problem here. The fact that they govern themselves is not a problem. They need this nuclear power for a very basic reason. It is another Biblical reason. It is so that our Nations women and young girls will sing songs of eulogy and and that our right women will be given to our enemies. In this case them. This means your race is wiped out. This has to be done to the west. We do not kill our adulterers our fornicaters our gays etc.... We are infadels. This liberal way of thinking makes me very tired. I wrote without using any religious points so you can read and understand. Otherwise there is alot of reasons to refer to the word of God here. I will tell you this again though. Longevity of life for the women in a Nation is a Blessing from God. Principal they teach the young girls. What are you teaching the young girls? Taranitely?
