Saudi is the worst muslim country to live in.Look at countries like turkey,lebanon,jordan,all these countries are much better than Saudi.There are no theaters in Saudi,gays and prostitutes are stoned to death

hahaha, I'M the one mischaracterizing YOU? Did you not start this conversation with "They certainly don't need YOU gawking at them"?

Your true colors are now visible :)

[sharshur]

You are completely mischaracterizing everything that I'm saying and therefore I'm going to stop speaking. You don't hear what I'm saying. So I'll let you argue with whoever you think I am on your own.

[Hemps]

I like how I can't appreciate beauty without some radical trying to convince me I'm "using and abusing women". I also find it highly ironic that you say the women of my culture don't "have rights".

You're right, I've never been a single mother, but don't tell me about "difficult positions" since you have no idea who I am or what I've been through. You act as if women are injured animals who can't fend for themselves, grow up.

[sharshur]

That is a curious comment. I find it highly amusing. There is nothing shameful about sexuality in the least bit. There is something shameful about men using and abusing women, telling them sexual freedom is to their benefit when in fact all it does is leave them in bad situations and without their rights. I assume you have never been a single mother, therefore you cannot possibly understand that is the most difficult position a person can be in, bar none. Sex is great! *with* rights.

[sharshur]

My point is that you don't really understand my entire position because I have not articulated it to you. And since you seem ill-disposed to have an actual engagement and discussion of it, it seems unlikely to occur in the future, so good day to you.

p.s. i think that your position had no nuances whatsoever. you just showed all your fear of, and hatred for, the ones who appreciate beauty in other beings. whether your position comes from narrowminded upbringing or personal problems does make no difference :-(
