... and that is where you're wrong again. After Manal al-Sharif, the woman in question, posted the video of herself driving a car in Khobar, she was arrested by individuals from the Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. The Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice ("CPVPV") [formerly known as "the Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Elimination of Sin"] -- are mutaween -- clerics posing as policemen who enforce Sharia Law. I'm talking about the country law, not the sharia law. Of course, the two are quite tightly bound together.. ... and I am telling you that she was arrested and tried because she was "sinning" -- not on criminal or misdemeanor charges ... :rolleyes: Then why do most other countries run under the Sharia law not do the same? Why is driving legal there?

Abortion
I think he forgot about the 60's.

Abortion
So that would make you (and the church) against male and female sterilization too? Which essentially is also the same as condoms, birth-control and abortion.

Abortion
What's the difference between birth-control, condoms and abortions then? They all prevent life from happening. You don't see people having issues over condoms and birth-control. They actually encourage the use of it.

Abortion
There is not yet "life" until the child takes it first breath. So how can abortion be murder when there is no taking of a life present. If you want that banned/against the law then birth-control and condoms should fall under the same category.

How should i use my range/melee brawlers?
I was under the impression each 'charge' was reduced per hit and not xp or damage, so chinning would be one of the worst options, but i'm not sure on that. And i was thinking i could pay a friend to stand in level 1 wilderness with me and let me wail on him (After he zammy brews to 1 defense) :P You got me on that one. I was under the impression it worked per exp gain and not per damage.

Probably going to be best if you Chin Skeleton Monkeys with the Brawlers since there isn't really anything worth ranging in the wilderness. Unless you're willing to risk it you could try Cannon-Chinning Greater Demons at the Rev dungeon, but you stand a high chance of getting pk'd. For Melee you could either use them on the Greaters and the Rev Dungeon or Dharok Skeleton Monkeys.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Facebook statuses like these..... Not the content, the way it is typed. Not to say the content can't be bad. That kind of thing usually comes from teenagers who want to seem smarter than they actually are. It's the kind of thing this forum is built on, but at least we're literate :twss: I was going to add this earlier, but i think now that you said what you said (more specifically the bolded), the guys who wrote/typed that is 21 :D

Solid Moneymaking
Boots seem to be a lot more uncommon compared to claws. Unless i'm having a horrible dry-spell, boots are probably in the region of 1/500. I've only had 1 pair of boots in 840 kills now. I've heard of other people having similar luck with 1 pair in ~1000 kills. The only thing that makes Glacors better is the fact that they drop shards. It make's it a semi-stable/constant money maker, but then again you could have bad luck on them too.

Ugh, i lost the link to something i read earlier. It mentioned something about it being the opposite. Rape victims do not get prosecuted. Then one paragraph down it says that they do. Then one paragraph down again it says it's a grey area. So what now...

Sharia law, which is fairly sexist and controlling. (from what I've seen anyway, I won't claim to be an expert). I think you need to go do some more reading then. Please, enlighten me :) EDIT: Well, I did some more research, and found the following. http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2010/nea/154472.htm But perhaps I'm interpreting this incorrectly. You have to realise though, we see this as sexist and controlling. They see it as protective. Not only the men but most of the woman too. I hate quoting wiki, but: Again it comes down to personal morals/opinions. What you see as sexism they see as tradition, and quite normal.

Today...
Well, i think one of our cats might lose a paw :\ I was on my way to the kitchen to get a glass when i heard my cat crying somewhere. I ran to see what was going on and it was limping. I picked it up and it looked like someone had smashed it left front paw with a hammer or something. The cat is still really small. I don't even know what to do. The vet closed at 2pm, this happened at 2:21pm. We put some disinfectant on it, but i don't know how much it's going to help. I feel really sick :\

Are ... you serious ? This is a dangerous attitude to have. And why would it be a dangerous attitude? "i see no reason for such extremes" - so you agree it is an extreme and unjustified, and then say " it does not go against my moral standing" then where is your moral standing - women actually being flogged for doing something that they ought to be able to do (any other "right" applies equally). what end would you go to to satisfy any law no matter how uncivilized and primitive ? ^a "bit" only haha ? Move to Iran or Pakistan ? I live in Qatar... we neighbor Saudi. I don't think i need to move to see how extreme Islam can be. I see it on a daily basis. Maybe this place has affected my judgement. and thinking. I do agree that it was an extreme, but i didn't agree that it was unjustified. If they don't want to be flogged for driving, they have the option of moving to a different country. And i think it might be their "uncivilized and primitive" enforcement that keeps it one of the safest countries in the world.

Are ... you serious ? This is a dangerous attitude to have. "Who is here so base that would be a bondman? " And why would it be a dangerous attitude? I'll just go make a law that anyone posting on an online forum named Noxxx should be crucified - since it's in the law surely you'd agree this is acceptable? This, in a nutshell, is the problem with laws as morals, and my extension, moral relativism. If it were the law, i would agree with it. But it isn't a law, now is it. I wouldn't agree with it, but i would find it acceptable because it would be the law. But i think you misunderstood me. I'm not saying i agree with the law (regarding female driving in Saudi). But just because someone does not agree with the law does not make it okay to go against it.
