I read a question in here about someone asking for gay places in Tangier - and there were lots of hate posts.

I wondered why... I have been to 25 countries and Morocco always seemed the most gay place ever, all over the place, everywhere, even straight guys showing they would not mind.

But the official stance is one of a century back... and all these gays did not really show, but not really hid either...

a very strange situation.

What exactly does it feel like to be gay in Morocco ? Are they very suppressed ? Is life becoming better for minorities or is it still very bad ?

Thanks a lot!

... the Rabbi and Priest who decide to buy a new car together? The day after they bought it, the Rabbi found the Priest driving it. The Priest explained that he had just gone to the carwash because in his faith, it was customary to welcome a new member with the rite of baptism. The following day, the Priest observed the Rabbi cutting the end off the car's exhaust pipe.

Hannah comes home from her afternoon out with her boyfriend Max, looking very unhappy. 'What's the matter?' asks her mother.
'Max has asked me to marry him,' she replies.
'Mazeltov! But why are you looking so sad?' her mother asks, confused.
'Because he also told me he's an atheist. Oh mum, he doesn't even believe in hell!'
Her mother pats her on the shoulder. 'That's all right, Hannah. it isn't a problem. You can marry him, and between the two of us, we'll show him how wrong he is.'

I just read a question whether prostitutes are everywhere. One of the answers mentioned Saudi Arabia and it made me think of the Sultana-books.

Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia
Princess Sultana's Daughters
Desert Royal

all (co-)authored by Jean P. Sasson. Since these books display SA in a less than flattering way, I am interested in your opinion. Am I correct in assuming that they are as controversial (read: hated) as "Not without my daughter" among Iranians?

I of course do realise that the large majority of these "oriental tales" books about the horrors and delights of muslim/arab culture are utter rubbish. It is just that the Sultana books stick out of the masses since they are (allegedly?) from somebody who is first a native and second still living the same life they describe.

Some people here said that the Holocaust is in denial. Some people are now beginning to deny that man went to the moon. Do YOU believe astronauts have been to the moon?

I know in Israel Jewish women can get free infertility treatments,but I was told that same programs are offered to Jewish women in America. I have heard of some in NY,but I need more details to find these programs all over USA? Also,in NY how many times can a woman get the free treatments in NY? I need the answers for my sister,she is Jewish but her husband is not. She feels she is having trouble getting the second treatment for this reason. But the children will be Jewish because of the mother. So,how does one qualify for the free treatments? I need information on all the free programs that're available for Jewish women on this issue. Thank you.

There is an article on YN about Ron Arad that I just read. After it is a comment that disturbs me. It is not the comment in itself that disturbs me, but the fact that I can now see the logic behind it and can agree with it. Am I becoming cynical? I had so many hopes until I lived in E Jerusalem and went to this forum?

A comment reads:

Title: Israelis are Pathetic


Text: Since when is it other countries' responsibility to care about Israelis, especially Germany?

If Israel wasn't filled with lefty cowards, they would just go into Lebanon or Gaza after Arad got kidnapped, take 1,000 arab men and offered a trade. if the arabs wouldn't respond, those 1000 men would be immediately executed. the arabs would quickly lose any interest in attacking jews, when the ratio of kills would become 1/1000.

inhumane? perhaps, but trust you me, it's only force force that will work.
