Answer 2

I would definitely speak to your fiance in earnest to find out if he simply thinks it's weird or if he believes his family to be somewhat dysfunctional. There is a big difference between weird and dysfunctional, and if he is in agreement that his family acts out in ways that are not acceptable to the norm I see no reason to not follow through with your plans to marry. My point is this; we all come from somewhere and just because there was or is a moral hiccup in someones family it doesn't mean it's acceptable. Your fiance may be wanting to break the cycle and elevate his standards and you need to know that for sure. As for the future mom in law, don't be too critical of what she wears or does in her own home, it's her choice and she has built her shelter to fit her, but speaking to a live-in adult child about unusual sexual antics or acts (peeping tom), is extremely unhealthy and could be a snapshot into a possible larger problem for the child, thinking maybe it is normal to look down or up a woman's clothing! I mean whats the next step? Food for thought!

Answer 3

"In the city of York it is legal to murder a Scotsman within the ancient city walls, but only if he is carrying a bow and arrow."

I take it a Scotsman at an archer shoot is sort of taking his life into his own hands then.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I forget what state, but there is one with a law that says, in so many words, "It is illegal for a woman to appear on a highway in a bathing suit unless she is accompanied by an officer or wielding a club." It was amended with something that said "This law shall not apply to females under 60 pounds nor over 300lbs and neither shall it apply to female horses."

I can't even figure out where that one came from.

It's a disgrace that UK and USA, which is following suit, today, are in the kind of mess it is in. You have none other than the Liberals and the stupid people who allowed it to go so far to blame for it. All that the Liberals ever cared about was their Vote Banks and they stupidly think that they are using the Muslims while it's been the other way around all the time. Countries like Malaysia, Indonesia went to the Muslims because they permitted their growth unchecked there and India is now next in line as is UK. And why is all this happening? Because the Liberals wanted to keep their growing slum Vote Banks, at our cost. They never really knew the stated Agenda of Islam for World Domination and the practice of al taquiyya or deception which is permitted to the Muslims to get their way with the kaffirs. All those who advised against this unchecked growth of the Muslims in non-Islamic Countries were branded "racist", bigot" and even "extremist". However, the fact is that these people are a growing and unbearable burden on our Society. More than 95 % of the Muslims live off the dole or live below the poverty line, according to their own tax returns that they file and they do not pay tax. While an alarming number fill the dole queues and leech off the money from the Native people who pay for their staying and growing in our lands. What you are seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. The worst thing is the kind of mentality that the sorry local Native women and men who convert to Islam to get a husband or wive degenerate to. They get so brainwashed in the "Islamic" thought that they are no longer like their former selves and are, at best, a disgrace and outcasts with their own people. They lose their identity and their basic Native ways and go whole hog on the thing they imagine is Islamic. Such people deserve the being outcast because they embrace that insanity that many Middle Eastern people are leaving, today. Shari'a is primarily going to be foisted upon you as something that they'll claim is meant only for the Muslims, now; but, wait and see to see where it takes you. The simple question is - Why cannot the Muslim be a Brit, in the case of UK? Look around and you'll see the British Pakistani!? Now, that's straight forward treason, supporting another foreign Country while living in this place. But then, most of the Pakis in UK don't even consider themselves Brits. Indian Muslims are more supportive of the Pakistanis than their own people. So, why do you think the locals don't want them to continue living there, any more? The lady above said that it's talk like yours that gets a Muslim walking on the street bashed. Does she accept the fact that the actual reason that's happening, nowadays, is that the local people are fed up with all of them? She jolly well knows how the Muslims thrash the living daylights out of their women and kids in the slums of England and other parts of UK. No fool is going to say they haven't seen that there. She knows jolly well that the reason why these retaliations are now happening are the response to the Muslim Gangs going around gay and lesbian and Hindu and generally gora [or Whitey] bashing, that they've been at for decades now. It's in retaliation of the Hate Rallies that these Muslims, the train bombings that they did there and a whole lot of other such things. But then, if anything is done against this lot, it's "racist", "bigoted" and "extremist", isn't it? Of course, whatever they do, like calling all local White Women Whores and raping them and so on are the effect of the non-Hijabi dress codes of the locals. So, why the heck don't they leave our lands and go back to their precious Islamic Countries? God knows they've been telling them - "Paki, go home" for decades!? Like it or not, things are only going to go from bad to worse and there will be open confrontations between the locals and the Muslims in all the non-Islamic lands which will lead to their having to leave these lands, one day or another. Everyone is sick and tired of all the problems being created by them here and since they will not listen to good counsel, the only other way left is the violent one. They've already used bombs and scare tactics against us, so, now it's going to be our turn. Pity, but, like it or not, Islam is going to have to pay for all it's misdeeds in the not so distant future. So, let them talk all they want. It isn't going to change what's coming to them, now. PS, One thing the person above forgot to mention is that under Sharia Law, not only does adultery need 4 witnesses, but, rape, too needs the victim to bring forth 4 Sunni Muslim Men for witnesses to have a case. The number doubles if they are Shi'a or Sufi and again, that doubles if they are non-Muslim. In other words, a woman who is raped needs to have 4 Devout Sunni Muslim men who will have watched the event and will testify to it, if the rapist is to be punished. Now you know why no rape cases are reported in the Islamic Countries and this is why the Saudi lady who was a rape victim got awarded 200 lashes - for being with her rapist in his car to which he dragged her, unescorted! Is this what you want here? Now, you need to think it over because what it will do to the others, later on, will be something very ghastly. PPS, "for more than 1300 years, Muslims took over the world spreading PEACE"?? The massacre of the bani al Qunayana, the bani al Mostalaq, the bani al Nadir, the bani al Quraish, for that matter all the 12 Tribes of Ishmael who were the Native Arab Jews was what? Peace? The massacre of the Yemeni Christians was what? Peace? The massacre of all the Egyptian Coptic Christians, most of whom fled and therefore survived, while the Pagans died horrible deaths in Egypt were what? Peace? Then the Babylonians, the Chaldean, the Mandean, the Parsees and the Buddhists of Gandhara [now known as Afghanistan] was what? Peace? And, these were the achievements of just Mohammad and his Sahaba! What did Shari'a do? What the Muslims did to World was worse than what Adolf Hitler could ever do! Over a billion people were slaughtered in the name of Islam and if the Indians had not defeated them in the East and the belated response of the Crusades had not come in the West, then, it would have been even worse. What the Taliban, the Hamas and al Queda are doing today is merely following the tradition of Islam. And why should all the rest of us, who could get together to get rid of the menace of the Nazis not do that now with Islam? It's time that we started showing the Muslims that we, too, can be ruthless with them and pay them back for all they've done. Anyways, it's not too far away when the World will do that. The movement against Islam has already begun and will end only with the insanity of that lot being done away with.
