DOS & DON'TS

Grad school types and religious assholes want to convince us that assimilation is mean and racist and makes immigrants betray their cultural roots, but what if they're just really psyched to live somewhere that isn't an abject shithole? Comments/Enlarge | See all


You know 500 years from now some asshole is going to think this is what people in the 20th century looked like. It's like how we take the entire middle ages and go, "Oh yeah, they were a bunch of dickhead knights." Comments/Enlarge | See all

THE EYES HAVE IT

Nudging Aside the Niqab

(Page 3 of 8)

SALAM
21 years old, student, married

Three things I want in life:
“To be a good mother, to be a good wife, and to help Yemen. I also want to be a businesswoman. I want to travel to all the cities in the world and to America.”

Pet peeve:
“Swearing, and when boys in the street say, ‘Look at the tall girl with the nice eyes!’”

Favorite TV star:
“Dr. Phil. He tells us how to solve our problems.”

What is the biggest problem in the world today?
“Palestine. We are sending money to them. Also poverty. We send money to the poor with tithing. The biggest problem in Yemen is women not teaching their daughters. Early marriages are also a problem.”

If you ask a real Jew, you will find that women are perfect, and man is the unclean beast. Christianity and Islam endeavour to make the woman subserviant and stupid. Please do NOT troll out the Genesis and the apple! Genesis is a parable and the time line is not 7 - 24 hour days!
Islam, like Christianity, is a male dominated ’religion’ that believes that it has the right to oppress anyone it wishes and is allowed to twist or spin it’s opinion on the world.

Please forgive all these immature filthy mouth children responding to "The eyes have it." We here wish that we could put them on a boat with no paddles and give it a good shove into the ocean. This generation needs a good wippin, but alas we are not allowed to touch the little brats in fear of being deemed "bad parents". Our kids are getting dumber and more violent as each day passes. This is not the country we once so loved. Politicians and music of hate are eating at the core of our nation. I miss America!

People should be able to wear what makes them feel comfortable. this being said if a woman feels more comfortable in society wearing a Niqab then fine wear the outfit. the problem isnt the clothes its the fact that if people dont question societal beliefs and the government then something which is terrible such as slavery or "the oppression of women" can exist forever.

Think for themselves? they are exposed to information about freedoms outside of their culture and tradition. How can they not feel repressed? They watch powerful women like Oprah, which will probably never happen in their country in a long time. Why does the argument that-- "it is their culture, so therefore they must have gotten used to it, or even, like it" --exist in the first place? I don’t understand.
