I have an old depression-era rug loom, and I have been meditating on the term "cottage industry." This old loom probably was worked by almost all the members of the family, taking turns, in order to make rugs to sell to support the family. They probably did other things, too, like grow their own food, but this was for cash money or trade at a general store.

What does cottage industry mean today? Can people really support themselves working at home? Not the pyramid schemes and the get-rich-lazy way, but something honorable. Is it still done?

Yes, people can support themselves working at home, it is just technology has made it a lot easier to work from home.

Cottage industries used to be crafts done in the home and now it is all about work done on the computer at home.

If you want to start making money at home with no overhead or start-up then on line auctions like Ebay, Overstock, Yahoo, and Epier are the answers:

You're the person who thinks it's wrong for women to have premarital sex (and indeed this is true), but you say the same rule (no premarital sex) does not apply to men--just women. This, according to you, is what Allah says. You never did come up w/ a good answer for that. If that's true, who are the men having sex with? Certainly not women, who should remain virgins until marriage. Perhaps other men, then? What does your Allah say? EDIT: Should the man remain a virgin before having his first wife?
