My best friend travels a lot to Morocco, he met an 18 years old beautiful girl at a local club. She was making money in exchange for sex(prostitution). They were dating for 2 years, she stoped prostituting and they are very much in love. He had decided to mary her and bring to the states where they can start a family. He told me that he loves her and most importyantly saving her from a rough and hard life of prostitution. What is your opinion???

Do people still write books, poems (digbundels) and such? Will there ever be people like Lina Spies and Bettie Naude again?

These days crime is everywhere. Does it still upset you or have you accepted it as normal?

I've just booked a trip to Dubai for a little over a week in February. I'm not staying at a hotel--I have some close family friends who have just moved to Dubai last month.

I personally am not worried, but my family needs some more convincing. It would be really helpful to hear feedback of people who live there, have visited recently, etc--and if there are any websites/articles you could reccomend, that would be great. Thanks!

the block feature on YA? I mean in real life, one has the right to choose whom one deals with. If I am not comfortable with a person for whatever reason I just avoid them. I think it's my right. As long as I don't insult or provoke anybody, why is it cosidered by some here on YA to be such a crime to block other users? It's my right to choose who views and answers my questions, just as it is their right to prevent me from veiwing or answering their questions. What is your opinion concerning this please, and why?

I just posted a question about western values. You will not find any offence, disrespect etc, not even any religious in it. Why do I receive to hatefull nasty answers? I am called "Mohamedan" which is offending already. What did I do to you guys just by questioning western values? Your answers make me even wondering more about your values. You take one honor killing (which is terrible) and do not say one word about the crime rate in your countries.

Why are so hatefull? Are you not the ones who always preach how bad and hatefull Muslims are? What about you? Maybe you should take a look into the mirror talking about hate.

Well, this question does not go out to everybody here, just look at my previous questions and you know whom I talking about. I know better than that. Sorry for sounding a bid harsh, but I am honestly upset.

Take care

another regular since some enjoyed it and most others were absent. For those that participated before, you cannot choose the same person as you did last time and no-one can describe Porgie because we all know that Vango was correct.

Choose someone new, with physical / character description.

Good luck, I hope that everyone will respond.

Judaism also used to practise execution by stoning, and rules for when and how it should be applied are defined in the Torah, which religious Jews believe to be the words of God. But over the years rabbis decided that it should not be applied any more, even though it is prescribed in our holiest texts.

What has to happen for Islam to decide to reject such ancient barbaric practices, in favour of ones more suited to our times?

And on a similar note, under what circumstances could devout Muslims accept to relinquish land that is holy 'waqf'? Judaism views Mount Sinai as exceptionally holy (it's where God gave Moses the Torah), but we still handed over the whole of Sinai in the interests of peace. What could be done to allow fervently religious Muslims such as Hamas to do something similar, without feeling that they are abandoning their religion?

(Note: I'll be out all today, so I can only respond to answers later. But I feel that this question goes to the root of the issue.)

Last I heard the minimum wage was $.79 per hour in Algeria. That was in 2005. Is that still what it is?
