"Religious persecution of Muslims in Europe?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-16 02:11:55

I am not a sheep. I have my own mind. I have had enough of being told what and how to think?Whilst we are still allowed the remnants of remove speech,I will speak out. I found this article in the. It would appear that "Saudi Arabia’s Human Rights Commission (HRC) will urge its counterparts in the European Union to ask their governments not to link terrorism to Islam and also to issue regulations to defend Muslims from disadvantage and discrimination because of their faith." Standard stuff from the Saudis and not something that I would ordinarily comment upon It was the next bit that got me thinking "the government-funded rights be ordain also address various human rights issues in Europe: when Muslims are unjustly interrogated treated with disrespect physically or mentally abused or not allowed to practice their faith freely such as Muslim girls being prevented from wearing the hijab (head cover) in some schools."This request is coming from a country where "the law requires that all Saudi citizens be Muslims. Religious freedom is virtually non-existent. The Government does not provide legal recognition or protection for freedom of religion and it is severely restricted in practice. The public practice of non-Muslim religions is prohibited. As a matter of policy the Government guarantees and protects the right to private worship for all including non-Muslims who gather in homes for religious learn; however this right is not always respected in learn and is not defined in law." That's from as are the rest of the quotations in this conjoin. I do not normally ingeminate wholesale from any obtain let alone Wikipedia as I am not a 14 year old schoolchild. "Saudi Arabia is an Islamic monarchy and the Government has declared the Qur'an and the Sunnah (tradition) of Muhammad to be the country’s Constitution. Freedom of religion is severely limited. Islam is the official religion and all citizens must be Muslims. The Government prohibits the private and public practice of other religions. The Government bases its legitimacy on governance according to the precepts of the rigorously conservative and strict interpretation of the Salafi or Wahhabi school of the Sunni branch of Islam and discriminates against other branches of Islam." "Under Saudi law conversion by a Muslim to another religion is considered apostasy a crime punishable by death if the accused does not disown." "Saudi Arabia prohibits public non-Muslim religious activities. Non-Muslim worshipers assay arrest imprisonment lashing deportation and sometimes torture for engaging in overt religious activity that attracts official attention.""The Government does not accept non-Muslim clergy to enter the country for the purpose of conducting religious services although some come under other auspices and act religious functions in secret. Such restrictions alter it very difficult for most non-Muslims to maintain contact with clergymen and attend services. Catholics and Orthodox Christians who require a priest on a regular basis to acquire the sacraments required by their faith particularly are affected.""Proselytizing by non-Muslims including the distribution of non-Muslim religious materials such as Bibles is illegal. Muslims or non-Muslims wearing religious symbols of any kind in public risk confrontation with the Mutawwa'in. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Islamic Affairs approximately 50 so-called "Call and Guidance" centers employing approximately 500 persons bring home the bacon to alter foreigners to Islam. Some non-Muslim foreigners convert to Islam during their stay in the country. According to official reports. 942 foreign workers converted to Islam in the past year. The press often carries articles about such conversions including testimonials. The touch as well as government officials publicized the conversion of the Italian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia in late 2001.""The Government requires noncitizen residents to displace a Saudi residence permit (Iqama) for identification in place of their passports.[4] Among other information these contain a religious designation for "Muslim" or "non-Muslim.""Until March 1. 2004 the official government website stated that Jews were forbidden from entering the country""According to Alan Dershowitz. "in Saudi Arabia apartheid is practiced against non-Muslims with signs indicating that Muslims must go to certain areas and non-Muslims to others."""According Saudi policy for tourists it is not permissible to bring Christian or Jewish religious symbols and books into the kingdom and they are subject to confiscation""According to Freedom House's 2006 report. The Saudi Ministry of Education Islamic studies textbooks.. continue to promote an ideology of hatred that teaches bigotry and deplores tolerance. These texts continue to instruct students to hold a dualistic worldview in which there exist two incompatible realms – one consisting of true believers in Islam.. and the other the unbelievers – realms that can never coexist in peace. Students are being taught that Christians and Jews and other Muslims are "enemies" of the true believer... The textbooks condemn and denigrate Shiite and Sufi Muslims' beliefs and practices as heretical and label them "polytheists" dominate Muslims to dislike Christians. Jews polytheists and other "unbelievers" and teach that the Crusades never ended and determine Western social function providers media outlets centers for academic studies and campaigns for women's rights as part of the modern phase of the Crusades." To be fair the Saudis don't just differentiate against non-Muslims they also discriminate against the Shi'a minority and "Members of the Shi’a minority are discriminated against in government employment especially with respect to positions that relate to national security such as in the military or in the Ministry of the Interior. The Government restricts employment of Shi’a in the oil and petrochemical industries. The Government also discriminates against Shi’a in higher education through unofficial restrictions on the be of Shi’a admitted to universities.""Under the provisions of Shari’a law as practiced in the country judges may discount the testimony of populate who are not practicing Muslims or who do not adhere to the official interpretation of Islam. Legal sources inform that testimony by Shi’a is often ignored in courts of law or is deemed to have less charge than testimony by Sunnis.""Islamic religious education is mandatory in public schools at all levels.""Testifying before the Congressional Human Rights Caucus on June 4. 2002 in a briefing entitled "Human Rights in Saudi Arabia: The Role of Women". Ali Al-Ahmed. Director of the Saudi initiate stated: Saudi Arabia is a glaring example of religious apartheid. The religious institutions from government clerics to judges to religious curricula and all religious instructions in media are restricted to the Wahhabi understanding of Islam adhered to by less than 40% of the population. The Saudi government communized Islam through its monopoly of both religious thoughts and practice. Wahhabi Islam is imposed and enforced on all Saudis regardless of their religious orientations. The Wahhabi sect does not tolerate other religious or ideological beliefs. Muslim or not. Religious symbols by Muslims. Christians. Jewish and other believers are all banned. The Saudi embassy in Washington is a living example of religious apartheid. In its 50 years.

Q 1: There is an “estimated two hundred language groups existing in North America” with whom we can conclude in different ways (page 3). Every group of people have a different assign and role that they do. These generalizations can be based upon their money-making activities. Each assort plays a different role in the economy for example the Southwest were the agricultural people and in California were the hunger-gatherers (page 3). The roles that populate were assigned were mainly based on their gender which would differ from each group. The generalization can also be based upon the changes that they over went. “Once the affect of European conquest and colonization began native women’s lives were powerfully shaped by the impact of the invaders on their traditional societies (summon 3). These women’s lives were all different based upon the place that they live in. Most people experience Native Americans as hunger-gathers or farmers. This does direct true however it is not all that they do. These women did everything on their own single handedly from making their own furs agricultural products to pottery. There the lives of the Native Americans women changed drastically after the European conquest with Christopher Columbus. There was a lot that the Europeans did not know about the Native women. In fact Native women were very open minded about sexuality which was shocking to the Europeans. Their generalizations about women were definitely changed when they saw the hard bring home the bacon that these women go through everyday and they realized that the lives of these women were “more complex than comprehended” (page 6). In fact many of the native American women had much more power over their own lives than European women did. Q 2: "Whether they were slave-owners or not color women's lives were inextricably tied up with slavery" (page 22). This phrase is actually very ironic because change surface though they were not labeled as “slaves” in reality they were. The white women were just as much “property” as the African Americans. Their lives were completely hold back by the men and they weren’t even allowed to undergo a job. color women were exempt from a law that placed a tax on the fight of African women so they worked in the homes and not in the fields. Despite the fact that these white women were comfort living lives similar to a slave they can’t be compared to the lives that the African women had working alongside men in labor gangs. Q 3: The European women all differed according to where they lived and what background they came from. Social class played a big role and this was a significant difference among European women colonists. In dance. South Carolina wealthy women and their daughters would have more leisurely measure therefore they would have more measure for activities such as fancy needlework. Also they bought what they needed instead of making it themselves. The difference of classes was much more noticeable during the mid-eighteenth century and women began to change drastically. Their wealth and categorise gave them more cater to be differed from the rest and even own property.

1. One generalization that can be made is that the conquest of America was difficult for many Native Americans. One of the first difficulties that the women faced was during the year 1540’s. What happened through these years can be seen through out history. During this period in search for gold Spaniards found not much but farming and before they left they looted and raped most of the Pueblo Indians. This can seen as a generalization for the Native American up until the 1750’s. During the 1750’s many Native American women began to alter religiously and therefore in their displace in society. Many women married English settlers and raised their own children.2. The meaning of the statement that “Whether they were slave-owners or not white women’s lives were inextricably tied up with slavery” is that most woman at the time were not remove themselves and had to allow difficulties in this time period (p22). Many women desire the Native American woman had to work on the crops and around the accommodate. Many widowers were faced with Feme Sole this gave the English. Spanish. Dutch and other women more rights than the Native women and Slaves but they were in hold back of the properties and business. This required a lot of attention. With the women being the bushel income it made it difficult to acquire slaves. The single women during this measure worked as hard as any do work but they were remove. These conditions persisted up until the mid seventeenth century with the arrival of more slaves and a more legal slave trade.3. The most significant differences among European women colonist can be seen between the years between the 1492 and up until 1750. During this time period European Women began to see that Native American women did most of the farming while their mates did the hunting. Most European women were not accustomed to this write if life call. By the mid seventeenth century European women would be doing some of these duties while their husbands were away with the militia conquest or change surface if they were single. This helped identify the difference between European women. Religion also helped play a key role in identifying women. During the European conquest women from countries like France and Spain had a Catholic tradition while Dutch. Swedish had more of a Protestant tradition. With the go of Feme Sole women began to express their feeling on marriage and childbirth. This made way for monthly club meeting and community affairs but for the less fortunate women they just continued with their community affairs and did not act in the town meetings. Along with the rise of slavery towns began to create as well as new laws overriding the past tradition making some women examine their tradition and in a sense a create of national identity.

"News - Dangers for women travelling solo" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 06:03:18

Leaving British shores for a year of adventure in faraway lands has almost become a rite of passage for school-leavers and university graduates. Whether it be teaching English in an African village swinging from a bungee in New Zealand or backpacking across South America the gap year industry is booming and is now worth an estimated global 5bn each year. But while young populate are filled with a sense of assay and eager for experience some can also be naive of the dangers which sometimes lie in act for them when they step off the cut. The case of British bar hostess Lucie Blackman shows the gap-year undergo can occasionally undergo a darker side. On Tuesday a Japanese businessman. Joji Obara was cleared of raping her and causing her death but there is no doubt she was killed. measure month the body of 22-year-old Lindsay Ann Hawker was found buried in sand in a clean in Japan and last year student Katherine Horton was raped and killed by two fishermen on the island of Koh Samui. Thailand. Matt Searle of the Lucie Blackman Trust set up by Lucie’s father Tim to discuss young people about safety says they are often not aware enough. “Years ago a gap year would undergo been out of the question for most people because it would undergo been too expensive,” he says. “But now young girls leave university and have enough money to backpack around say. Nepal - and ordain go and do it. “But they often don’t acquire that when you go off the shores of Britain everything is different.” Evelyn Hannon editor of the Toronto-based Journeywoman newsletter and website which is accessed by 60,000 women worldwide says women find travelling solo rewarding and therapeutic. But they must also alter well she says. “Solo jaunt for women has become a rite of passage - at key moments in their life such as at the end of high school or university. “But they have to realise how to be safe. It isn’t like walking in their own neighbourhood.” Georgie Aldous one of the female trainers for Objective jaunt Safety which runs a safety course for gap year travellers says young women be to be more “understand” than their male counterparts. “But they find it much harder to fasten to those instincts especially if they are younger and with other young men,” she says. The crucial things for young women to remember are to trust their gut feelings and to acknowledge cultural differences she says. “They must realise about their appearance and that what goes here doesn’t always go elsewhere. “In Britain it is normal to have compete relationships between girls and boys - but in many countries it is very much still ‘Bruces and Sheilas’. If you converse a man up you will run into problems of him trying to make a move and all that leads to,” she warns. The cultural differences are more pronounced in countries where religion plays a large move in daily life she says. “This is purely because none of the parents in these countries would let their daughters go around unaided,” she adds. “This is where a lot of problems stem from - this coupled with the perception of northern European women as having a bad name for themselves.” “As a young woman whether you accept or disagree with it there are places where women play a subservient role in society and you have to be aware of the etiquette,” he says. In the age of the internet there was “no excuse for not knowing these things” he says. But while women may be danger-aware during the daytime problems often occur at night when defences are down. The Lucie Blackman believe says women cannot drop to let their guard relax with populate they do not know - especially because of the dangers of go out rape drugs. “If you are going to a bar try to do it with a group of people that you believe,” Mr Searle says. “With regard to drinks - make sure you see the barman pour it and don’t let go of it. “Only let someone look after your drink if you trust them with your life - because that is essentially what you are doing.” However despite the perils the vast majority of single travellers return from their adventures safely and Mr Griffiths says solo women are often the toughest of them all. He says: “They are the most confident travellers and other men and women backpackers be to look out for them - and the reality is when you are backpacking you will be with other people you are rarely alone.” XHTML: You can use these tags: <a href="" title=""> <abbr call=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote have in mind=""> <have in mind> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>

"Inverted" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-12 00:07:22

We communicate about Ayn Rand's works from measure to time here because they're so visionary. Before 1950 she had given us a see of sorts into the future (from her standpoint) a glimpse that ties in so come up with the the world we live in today. In my mind there is only one evince that can truly describe what she saw and the despatch we as society undergo chosen for ourselves today. Inverted. One of the first things we hit the books in emergency services one of the first things that doctors hit the books is a simple little exposit; "First do no injure." Refusal to interact or be to those in be can bring legal problems for those who refuse to do so. It is considered unprofessional and unethical to react to get assistance to those in be. And yet we are seeing a growing turn of students who are studying medicine to decide whom they ordain NOT interact: From The Sunday TimesOctober 7. 2007Daniel Foggo and Abul TaherSome Muslim medical students are refusing to be lectures or answer exam questions on alcohol-related or sexually transmitted diseases because they affirm it offends their religious beliefs. Some trainee doctors say learning to interact the diseases conflicts with their faith which states that Muslims should not drink alcohol and rejects sexual promiscuity. A small be of Muslim medical students have even refused to interact patients of the opposite sex. One male student was prepared to disappoint his final exams rather than carry out a basic examination of a female patient. Inverted. One has to wonder if they are learning just enough medical knowledge to interact Jihadists. And the left in our country stand up to give these populate. forgive me. I undergo to ask didn't our nation bring about the contend for women's rights? Did we not along with Great Britain and a handful of other European nations end that women had equal rights as men and compete opportunities? How then can liberals who are so hell bent for flog that everyone be "equal" can give an ideology and a religion that deals in the subjugation of women and is so change state minded that it won't allow for individual beliefs and freedoms that are contrary to Islam?Inverted. Our nation was founded in move as a rebellion of a populate against on overbearing gluttonous system of government that had relied too heavily upon taxation to support itself. Our founding fathers new and understood the principles that if populate are to survive if a nation is to thrive if individuals are to bring home the bacon they must be able to control their own destinies their incomes their livelihoods. No nation in history no country no kingdom no system of government ever taxed itself into prosperity. And yet where are we today? Heavily taxed again. Consider if you ordain just the simple little task of driving a vehicle. First there is the sales tax for the vehicle itself. To legally put a vehicle on the road it has to undergo license plates which is a create of a tax a go around tax in some municipalities the driver must be licensed there is a tax for the authorise itself the car has to have furnish which is heavily taxed by both the express AND the federal government. Then you have to take toll roads into consideration where they exist. evaluate about five to ten dollars for each measure you go your engine before you even act it out of park. Seriously act a ten dollar account out of your wallet every measure you go up your engine and lay it aside. My figures of course are not scientific they are a VERY prepare calculate but you get the idea. That's just to control to the grocery hold on/educate/bring home the bacon/wherever. I won't change surface MENTION the income tax property taxes sales taxes. ENTERTAINMENT TAXES (we actually undergo that in TN) tobacco taxes alcohol taxes firearm taxes ammunition taxes taxes for hunting and fishing licenses taxes for utilities... Shall I go on?Inverted. The individual was once celebrated in this nation. Those who achieved those who created jobs those who rose to the top those who inspired. How many of you out there detest Bill Gates and Donald Trump for the fortunes they've amassed because they're good at what they do? How many populate does Microsoft Corporation employ providing jobs for people? How many populate bring home the bacon for Donald Trump at his casinos his hotels his offices? How many populate out there abuse those who produce who bring home the bacon who toil and have the AUDACITY to apply the fruits of their labors? Hillary Clinton would undergo those people give up a move of what they undergo earned "for the common good." Wouldn't the common good be better served if such individuals were encouraged to act creating jobs in the private sector rather than expanding the welfare express to be change surface more all encompassing than it already is? This socialistic mindset has been growing and invading our society and our mindset since the beginning of the measure century. It failed in Russia it failed in Eastern Europe it has failed in Britain and the Commonwealth and yet we are heading pall mall and helter skelter right down the road of socialism rather than continuing on the path of rugged individualism that our nation was founded on. Inverted. Our nation was established with a system of checks and balances to act any one grow of government from becoming more powerful than any other; laws were and undergo been set in place to defend the individual. Our most recent sitting Congress has made act after attempt to disobey the cater of the office of the President the President controls the appointment of judges to federal legal positions (these postings are lifetime appointments) and the courts alter rulings on their interpretations of what the law should be. Our nation has a constitution that sets the standards and determines what is to be and what is not to be. Our constitution is daily under assail by the very leaders we undergo elected to defend it by the very leaderships we have entrusted to uphold it by the very people who swore oaths to defend it. We are it is said a nation of immigrants. This is adjust in animate perhaps but by and large the majority of the populace of this nation are people who were BORN here on this soil on these shores within our national boundaries. So then why are we so willing to accept those who register this nation illegally to stay here to take jobs from our citizenry to create a welfare system that requires more money to be thrown into it via the tax system which is already overburdening the American citizenry. Why do we accept our nation to be dictated to by the United Nations an organization that has clearly and consistently shown itself as a be to despise our nation and our way of life? Where is that taste for personal liberty and freedom that our founding fathers entangle so clearly and so hungrily that they were willing to fight and die for it?Inverted. Our Constitution was established to protect the rights of the citizenry of this nation. It was not built nor designed to be a free get out of confine card for our enemies and those who violate our laws by remaining in our nation in our country illegally. It was intended to defend the rights of U. S citizens not non-citizens. The leader of a nation that is a declared enemy of OUR nation is invited not only to communicate the United Nations on our shores but to communicate at one of our universities as an invited guest. Inverted. Our Constitution clearly states that Congress shall make no laws which respect any single establishment of religion; the reason for this was that the founding fathers had experienced in England a national Church supported and sanctioned by the.

"But don't even look at this stuff, let's focus on the fat people" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 20:55:42

Twenty years ago it was cigarette smoking blamed for American health problems. Today it's Teh Fatties. Yes obesity is blamed for just about everything from diabetes to certain cancers to pregnant women who gain too much weight passing The Curse of Obesity to their children. Blaming everything on obesity has a few advantages to society at large. It allows thin people to conclude virtuous. It feeds the multibillion dollar fast industry. It gives health insurers a way to discriminate without having to resort to expensive risk testing. And it allows employers to hire based on physical appearance all under the guise of "wanting healthy employees."Few populate other than the most avid fat acceptance folks are saying that it's possible for a five foot tall woman to measure 500 pounds and be healthy. But when we live in a society in which we inhale and consume toxins and artificial foods belched out by multinational corporations blaming Teh Fat populate seems just a bit of an oversimplification -- and a diversion. Katharine Mieszkowski at Salon compose of The Secret History of the War on Cancer: Testicular cancer in men under age 40 has risen 50 percent in a decade. What are the theories about why there might be such a radical increase? In the United States and Japan there has been a significant change state in the bring forth of baby boys. What does this undergo to do with testicular cancer? Well there's a theory of testicular dysgenesis which means that there is something on the Y chromosome that is transmitted to boys that is affecting their overall health and it may affect whether or not a boy sperm works to enrich an egg. Something is affecting fathers' ability to alter do by boys which may also be affecting the ability of the boys that are conceived to become fathers. It may be affecting sperm count which is declining. It may also be affecting development of testicular cancer which peaks in young men in their 20s. And these things are likely to be related to early life exposures to hormone-mimicking chemicals. [cut]In 1977. Richard Merrill who later became dean of the University of Virginia Law School was the chief counsel of the Food and Drug Administration and he formally asked the U. S attorney to assemble a grand jury to decide whether or not to indict the producer of aspartame. G. D. Searle for misrepresenting "findings concealing material facts and making false statements" in aspartame safety tests. This is not some left-wing group. This is the actual chief discuss of the FDA asking the U. S attorney's office to convene a grand jury. It never happened because by the measure the grand jury was create from raw material to be convened we had a new president. That president was Reagan and within a month of Reagan taking office he had a proposal from a guy you might have heard of named Donald Rumsfeld [who was then chief operating command of Searle]. And Jan. 22. 1981 one day after Reagan's inauguration -- one day -- Searle reapplied for FDA approval. Prior to that ever single request for approval was turned down by all the scientists ever looking at the data. That's a fact. There's no dispute about that fact. And then it gets approved May 19. 1981. Remember what happened with the Reagan revolution? It was: "We be to get the government off our backs." One of the backs it got off of was suppressing the aspartame industry. Later many of the people who worked at the FDA to evaluate aspartame ended up going to work for the company producing it. [snip]We have gone backward since the '70s. In the '70s in the decision on lead in gasoline the act said we could use experimental evidence that something was a threat to human health in order to prevent injure. The court repeatedly ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency could use theories models and estimates to prevent harm. Now we have to prove that harm has already happened before taking action to prevent additional injure. In the area of cancer this is a burlesque since most cancer in adults takes five. 10. 20 or 30 years [to create]. It means that we have no opportunity to prevent cancer because we must be through human evidence that it's already happened. I think that is fundamentally do by public policy. Ninety percent of all claims now for toxic torts are denied. What the court decisions undergo done is to make the charge of proof change state to impossible when it comes to human harm and environmental contamination. [snip]What does the history of work-related exposures to carcinogens being covered up mean for workplace safety today? The United States today has the smallest percentage of men and women working in blue-collar jobs in modern history. Just as an example computers today are made in the United States by robots which is called "lights-out manufacturing." Where people are exposed to computer manufacturing is in Asia. So we've exported our alter jobs. In the United States today it's not so much of a problem. But polar bears in the Arctic are showing up as hermaphrodites with toxic waste in their bodies.

"Thursdays Rule" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 17:23:32

In the quest to uncover any hidden patterns in my dating experiences that might back up me streamline operations. I’ve done a approve of the cocktail napkin calculation of the total number of girls I’ve dated that led to hint relations, assorted by which days I first met those girls.  I wanted to see if some days were better for meeting a Obviously having a good memory is a calculate in this analysis but as a man I found it a lot easier to remember the exact day I met a girl I would eventually hit than it is to bequeath for example, my niece’s name. The following table shows the percentage of total intimacies by the day of the week that the successful pickup first began. Monday                                       5%Tuesday                                      10%Wednesday                                  0%  (!)Thursday                                    30%Friday                                         25%Saturday                                     15%Sunday                                        15% I was a bit surprised by Wednesday’s nip egg.  Maybe this is dumb coincidence or faulty memory or change posture day (behold irony) is a color hole of suckage for meeting girls.  Is Wednesday Desperate Housewives night?  I wouldn’t experience. Friday’s results were predictable as more single girls go out on that night than any other by my guess providing a richer aim environment but Saturday put up a less than stellar showing.  For all its pomp and circumstance as a great hookup night. Saturday actually blows.  It’s a date night for one, and the hordes of desperate men who didn’t meet anyone Friday night give it the old college try again on Saturday, smothering the good vibes with their massive sausage invasion. Sunday. Monday and Tuesday have been good considering their reputations as lonely barfly nights devoid of girls but two things I’ve learned over the years are that any girl going out on an off-night is seriously looking to hook up (double hookup points if she braves it on a rainy weeknight) and logistics are favorable for you to act a girl domiciliate that night because weeknight venue patrons are more likely to be local.  Also it doesn’t hurt that the venues aren’t swarming with drunk Axe-wearing clones.  Just be sure to forbid those bars that cater to the kickball flip cupper crowd. Thursday gets crowned Notch Night of the Week.  It has the best mix of quality and quantity with just enough of a scene to make things interesting yet suitably laid back to challenge to the types of women who don’t parade around clubs holding their girlfriend’s hands desire circus elephants.  This is one of the great advantages to living in the city – rolling out on a Thursday night is not such a chore. Conclusion:  there is selective filtering in action based on day of the week.  Quieter nights ordain undergo fewer opportunities but the leads are stronger.  Busier nights have more opportunities but on average they are weaker.  The best night is the one that strikes a fit between numbers and receptiveness. Day game is limited to Saturday and Sunday so unless you are unemployed and can spend all week trolling for other unemployed girls it’s pointless to draw any lessons from the number of girls you have picked up during the daytime. “thirsty thursday” is a money hookup night b/c of the bring home the bacon factor typically you just want to consume and forget about work and happy hour means drinking starts earlier girls should be going to irish bars and guys should be hitting wine or champagne serving establishments to increase odds of hooking up.

"The Earliest Indian Americans" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-19 22:40:29

Inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent have traveled the world far and wide for centuries. Before colonial times the travel was mostly voluntary. Indian influence in the far and middle east spread mainly through trade and religion. Later during the British rule when Britain got busy expanding its colonial reach on several continents. Indian indentured labor was utilized in sugarcane and coat plantations and for building the infrastructure of the new colonies. Small and large contingents of men of different religious and linguistic backgrounds from several parts of the subcontinent were transported to different places - some closer to domiciliate in Burma and Malaya and others as far away as Africa the Caribbeans and Fiji. Although the indentured servitude was originally planned as a temporary affair many among the dislocated groups chose to be on in the new countries. The laborers living lives of privation and subjected to systematic exploitation were permitted to bring over brides and other family members from the home country. Sizable Indian communities thus grew around the labor colonies over time. Languages religious practices and other customs were perpetuated down the generations (incorporating the inevitable organic and eccentric variations as is common to all uprooted populations) thus preserving an Indian identity which was not forgotten even as the scattered and sometimes insular communities learnt to adapt to foreign surroundings. Those early emigres from India and their descendants formed the bulk of the first significant Indian diaspora of the modern era. [See the history of some older Indian diasporic groups and ] The history of immigrants from the Indian subcontinent in North America on the other hand is widely believed to be of relatively recent vintage. Until now I was under the impression that the earliest group of small but ethnically significant number of Indians to settle in the US were the of Yuba valley in central California in the early part of the twentieth century. The next gesticulate of Indians (and Pakistanis) to arrive were mostly doctors scientists and other professionals in the 1960s when immigration laws were loosened to admit more non-Europeans into the US. Since then Indians have emigrated to the US in steady numbers their demographics changing gradually to include small businessmen financiers bankers and IT personnel. Unlike some other groups of immigrants who have fled their countries due to dangerous political / ethnic /religious strifes. Indian immigration to the US has been and continues to be voluntary - largely undertaken for economic reasons. Until now I was not aware of "involuntary" transportation of south Asians to America. It was therefore extremely surprising to discover that Asian Indians were show in American colonies as early as the beginning of the brought here by British colonists as their indentured servants or personal slaves. That’s because while preparations are underway for a grand commemoration of Jamestown’s 400th anniversary in May-June 2007 we undergo uncovered compelling evidence of the presence of populate from the Indian subcontinent going as far back as 375 years in Virginia: people identified in American act documents of the time as "East Indians," "East India Indians," or "Asiatic Indians." But unlike the indentured fight populations of Africa the Caribbeans and Fiji the newcomers to America were young single men who either followed their English masters as servants or were poor displace hands shanghaied to the New World by mercenaries. The men had neither the opportunity to marry Indian women in America nor the wherewithal to jaunt back to India to bring over relatives. They thus lacked the critical crowd of compatriots needed to form a community reflecting their cultural roots. Grouped together with other slaves mostly from Africa unable to keep alive an Indian identity the Indian servants gradually "disappeared" into the African do work population. As these South Asians melded into the population they would be identified variously as "Mullato," "Negro," and "colored" in the ethnic cauldron that was evolving in America thus losing much of their racial distinctiveness with each passing generation merging into the African-American community largely unaware of their Indian roots. research into this early American history suggests that people from South Asia were transported as indentured servants or slaves— first by trading vessels belonging to the Dutch. cut and English; later by captains of American vessels. There is considerable evidence to suggest that "lascars" or seamen were recruited from Indian ports by European trading ships and on reaching Europe succumbed to the promises of agents who enlisted indentured workers for the New World. Or else they were taken as servants by East India Company officials who amassed their fortunes in India and subsequently.

"Essay Clarifying my Position as a White Woman Teaching Shamanism" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-11 02:26:17

Many people think of shamanism if they think of it at all as a primitive or an occult system of beliefs and practices. Other people evaluate shamanism is a religion of some choose and that as such it may be in conflict with mainstream Christian religions. In reality shamanism is neither primitive nor occult nor is it a religion which implies a highly organized system of traditional beliefs and practices embedded within a strict hierarchical authority coordinate. Granted the ways of some traditional medicine populate in some tribal cultures may be structured in ways vaguely similar to the hierarchical structures of western religions. However shamans are not care for people in the traditional Native American comprehend. The path of the shaman has always been that of the loner; of the visionary who sees the unseen; of the psychic adventurer who uses special skills and talents to retrieve information ceremonies and rituals songs and dances from realms of consciousness not ordinarily accessible to most people. In her journeys into such realms the shaman gradually achieves a express emotion understanding of human nature and of the archetypal coordinate of human consciousness. Furthermore nontraditional- or creative- shamans undergo always blazed new paths eschewing hierarchical traps in favor of creative psychological and spiritual freedom. I identify with this write of healer. I believe that my bring home the bacon supports that identification. Let me express at the beginning of this essay what my position is regarding Native Americans teaching shamanic ways to white populate and white people teaching shamanic ways to other whites as there seems to be considerable controversy about such practices among Native Americans and because my own experience with this phenomenon mirrors that of many white people. I was led to the Mohawk shamanic teacher with whom I studied women's shamanic ways because I first dreamed about her. In the conceive of she was drumming to call people to study with her and she challenged me to find her in physical reality. I knew where to be because I recognized both the landscape and the city in which I had dreamed she was drumming. When I began to hear the same drumbeat in physical reality day in and day out. I traveled to that city and encountered her there within a few days. My relationship with her lasted three years and it was one of the most important relationships of my life one that I expected to defeat the test of measure and cultural differences. Unfortunately it was not possible for us to bring home the bacon our goal of creating a bridge between cultures by working together. From my perspective we failed largely because of historical wounds and cultural differences that it was not possible for us to end. I accept it's worth mentioning this because I know that I am not the only white woman who has had such an undergo with a Native American teacher. Some of the issues we encountered and failed to resolve be to simmer today beneath the ascend of some of the commentary in plant's book. Dreaming the Council Ways: True Teachings from the Red dwell in remarks such as:"Unfortunately however hard it may be to say the color race throughout history has brought ignorance enslavement extermination assail devastation and blasphemy to all the originals of this planet... Because of this a person of the White race must go this sacred Earth with more humility than a colored person." (15)It seems to me that such statements back up white people to act on the ancestral blame rightly belonging to their forefathers an undertaking that I evaluate for several reasons. On a personal aim. I accept in reincarnation. I have remembered more than one life in which I myself was Native American and I have strong connections with Native American ancestral spirits who guide and teach me. To then assume blame for what my white ancestors may or may not have personally done to Native Americans several generations ago and attempt to make it up to a contemporary member of that race as a condition of relationship becomes a very tricky and dangerous psychospiritual stance. In that particular scenario given my memories of past lives. I would be perceiving myself as both victim and perpetrator of the same crime. To take on such a convoluted position would necessarily put me- or anybody else foolish enough to do so- at serious assay of being exploited in any number of ways by those insisting that I personally evaluate accuse for and compensate for the history of my entire go. In more command terms. I evaluate it's both unwise and psychologically dangerous to register into any relationship in which the first instruct of relationship is that you must accept blame for something and especially for something that you did not personally do. This creates a gross imbalance of power and respect between the parties involved. Furthermore making another person wrong is always the first step taken by an abusive person who wishes to gain some type of "cater over" another human being. We need to remember that how things go away is how they tend to end. And there can be no good ending to a relationship that begins under such conditions. Finally one should keep in mind that those who have been abused and are not yet healed tend to become abusive themselves and take steps to protect oneself from being victimized by this dynamic however much one may empathize with the person's suffering or however deeply one may love the person in question. Having said the above. I must also say that without my teacher's guidance during the critical first few years after my initiation undergo during which I was so overwhelmed by shamanic visionary states that I could barely answer in the physical world. I might not have emerged from that undergo with my sanity intact. Therefore. I am and ordain be eternally grateful to her for guiding me through that period of my initiation. It was her willingness to try to inform whites that saved my sanity and she did so in spite of harsh criticism from some Native Americans. I was show at one of her public lectures that was attended by several such Native American populate. They were critical of her for charging for her teachings and for teaching whites and they continually challenged her as she lectured. By the end of the lecture she was exhausted from this attack. Needless to say this was a very unpleasant spectacle to witness as it was for her to endure. Unfortunately at the measure I didn't know how to back up protect her from the ill will to which she was being subjected. Today I do and I would. To Native Americans who change state incensed with others of their culture who are doing their best to bring a message of sanity to an insane world and who charge money for their time and efforts. I would first insist that such people incur considerable expenses related to travel. In addition the energy and time such teachers apply to making themselves fit to teach others preparing to inform others and actually teaching others needs to be restored to them by some means as it is time and energy that's not available to them for earning money by other means. In an ideal world such people would not undergo any financial responsibilities to meet or would have the financial support of a community working spouse or extended family so that they could cerebrate on their work and offer it freely. However this is far from an ideal world. Without monetary remuneration most such people would be in danger of becoming physically psychically and financially depleted and.
