i mean, the sex tourist is providing good income for the person selling the sex. in poor countries like thailand, many individuals and families are enjoying a much higher income and standard of living because of sex tourism. yet the men who pay these women their wages are criticised as being "dirty" / perverted / exploitative, etc. how can this be the case between two consenting adults who are both getting what they want /need out of the arrangement? how else would poor women feed their kids + families without sex tourism?

and in some countries, they even prohibit school girls from wearing head scarf. why?
some ppl say that a woman has the right to wear whatever she wants, has the right not to wear hijab and shouldn't be forced to wear hijab. if that so, why can't a woman wear hijab (in some countries). if she has the right not to wear hijab (as some ppl say), she must have a right to wear hijab too.

and some even encourage muslim women not to wear hijab. but if muslims encourage muslim women to wear hijab, they say muslim men are controlling muslim women.

some women say, "there are a lot more to a woman than her body". if that so, why are they still showing/exposing their body to men? in my opinion, if they want to be treated with respect by men, maybe they should start covering their body. that way, men can concentrate her by her attitude and brain, not by her body.

what do u think? serious opinions please. thank you.

(excuse me for any spelling/grammar mistake)

Fact; we are currently borrowing billions of dollars from, mostly, the Chineese goverment at some where in the neighborhood of 10% interest.
Why are we not issueing "U.S. Savings Bonds" at 5 or 6% instead? Yes you can currently buy "Savings Bonds" but the rate is ridicoulously low in comparison.
I don't know about anyone else but "pimples on our butt" like Iran, Syria, and North Korea don't really scare me (not to say we shouldn't "sqeeze" them to get out the infection) but the greedy Chineese manipulating their currency to rip us off even more and then turn around and use it to build their military (nuclear program) and set up programs to corner all the all the fossil fuels, shouldn't everyone be a litle more focused on them? Their goverment has said ,with-in the last 10 years, "" that America needs to be over throwned!
What you think?

It's very interesting to watch people while they are controlled by there emotion, that is, they are angry, excited or nervous. Wise men say that an angry man opens his mouth and closes his eyes. Have you ever watched an angry person? How was your experience?

I've been through hell and back but i found that by using sarcasm and irony as a defense mechanism, it tends to cheer people up in the darkest of moments.
