I'm always close to being on top of a new page, and some one takes it away
So what's the trick to get on top  ? Is it 20 posts per page ??

Habibti is the term for women right?

Yes

40 posts a page is the trick

Oh, I knew it had to be this way (no. of posts per page), but didn't bother to count

No.. you're above counting pages.  You only count hammer hits

Transportation in Heaven

And it came to pass that an angel came up to three newly-dead men and said - You are all to be allocated a method for transportation around heaven. You will be judged on your past deeds, and will have your transport chosen accordingly.

The angel looked at the first guy, Dave, and said- You, Dave, were a bad man in life. You cheated on your wife four times! For this, you will drive around Heaven in an old beat-up Dodge.

The angel next looked at the second guy, Jon, and said- You were not as sinful, but you still cheated on your wife twice. For this, you will forever travel around heaven in a Toyota station wagon.

The angel finally looked at our hero, Sam, and said- You, Sam, have set a fine example. You did not have sex until after marriage, and you never cheated on your wife. For this, you will forever travel through heaven in a Ferrari.

A short time later, Jon and Dave pulled up in their cars next to Sams Ferrari. There he is, sitting on the bonnet, his head in his hands, crying.

Whats wrong, Sam? they asked. You got the Ferrari! Youre set forever! Why so down?

Sam looked up, ever so slowly opened his mouth, and said, I just saw my wife go by on a skateboard.

How long you been in KSA, Jay?  Can take quite a while to get unlagged (esp. from the US and Canada--although I do see you're from the UK).

Why only for the Americans / Canadians ?

I'm from India & it took one long month for me to adjust to the time the Sun rises and sets here.

Digression:  CAMEL MEAT!!!!!!!

Okay, kids--I was at Hyper Panda the other day and saw that they were selling boneless camel meat that actually looked pretty good--I mean, usually I see it with bones, like a big knuckle bone with some meat around it and that is just ..scary!

So, this boneless roast looked good and I had the guy slice me off what would be about the size of a steak.  After all, can't leave KSA without trying camel (although I did have it once at the Janadriyah Festival but it was mixed in with other stuff in a pita roll so never really got the *taste*).

Anyway, last night I sliced the meat into strips and broiled it.  I was prepared to douse it with catsup, if necessary, but guess what?

IT WAS DELICIOUS!!!!

Tender, mild flavor (and no bad 'after-taste,' like the local beef).  So, I encourage all of you to try it!!

Poor camels
I'm sorry, but I don't support killing of animals for human pleasure.

But plants are life forms, too. Research has shown that vegetables scream when they feel pain (are picked).  Plants also respond to being spoken to and given love.  So, if you want to go that route with me, how can you justify killing plants?  Because they're not warm and fuzzy?

That said, I have been thinking about becoming a temporary vegetarian in the near future but not for philosophical reasons--rather because I have fears for my health when I relocate from KSA.

Oh, I've debated enough with my colleagues and friends who eat Non-Veg. They've all come up with the same.
But you can't justify killing animals, because plants also feel the pain. All I ask for is to be fair to all. If killing a human is punishable, why are we allowed to kill a chicken ?

ghanshyampdave wrote:

The answer is so logical:  because a chicken isn't a human.

Surely you agree with this?

I don't agree with any killing

You avoided my question.

So you think a chicken is human?

Does it really matter ? If I think that chicken is a human being, would they stop killing ?

not if *you* think it, but if it's the case, it would have to be against the law.

So .. is a chicken human?

This brings to mind something a friend of mine said a few months ago.  So she has a cat, that she loves dearly--ridiculously so, actually, but she doesn't have much else in her life.  Anyway, she made a statement that--the classic scenario--if she were on a boat that was sinking, she'd save her cat rather than another human.

Now, that is just WHACKED. 

I didn't reply--I mean, wtf can you say to that?--just thought to myself that I sure hope I never end up in a situation with her where it's me or the cat

Ha ha.. nice one

To answer you, a chicken is not a human. But that doesn't justify killing animals for pleasure. It's not only the legal perspective (I know I brought it up).

Dave, I would agree with you if people just ran around killing chickens for fun and then threw them in the trash.

But chickens are killed for FOOD.  People EAT them.  So it's not for pleasure--there is a purpose.  Humans eating meat can be traced back hundreds of thousands of years--it's how we evolved.

You've made a choice not to eat meat--good for you.  But that doesn't make those of us who do uncaring or evil

My gf eats chicken, she's surely not evil
Also killing for food doesn't make you caring either
Don't we have dogs / cats / horses as pets ? Can they be killed for food by other humans ?

I know it's a difference of opinion. One that has been debated by many for thousands of years. And the Vegans will come out and tell me not to consume dairy products or use leather (which I'm not fond of, anyways).

Actually I think his English is good,very understandable (albeit repetitious).  We've seen *much* better examples of 'fractured' English here on this forum

Koreans eat dog, Chinese eat cat and the French love horse meat! Guinea pigs originate in the Andes Mountains and although they are pets in most of the world, they are frequently eaten in that part of the world!

So bottom line--one man's pet is another man's dinner!!
