Hi Sigi. Haven't checked this board in a while. I don't feel like talking about the war, but out of mere curiousity of your post, I checked out the site and saw this comment:
"You know that i love you, and together we can go far. I am no idiot see, and i see in your music mixing your perception of cultural sexuality... A type of sexuality which our western culture might bring. Your on the front lines of a battle which you might not fully understand just yet. Let me tell you. In contrast to a world which we both cannot see (i cant see yours, you cant see mine) i am sure that you see the sexuality of the western American coming towards the mid-east. What else will homogenize our cultures then sexiness? But.... will you further their sexual trap? Or will you help expose it's weakness....You will see that you will shift minds within the domain that inspires your mixing... Be careful, a lot is at stake.
S.L.U.T."
_________________________________About that attitude...The thing is--there are more prostitutes in the Middle East than in the U.S.; that's ok, no problem there for men to have promiscious sex and cheat on their wives, but it's not okay for the women in the general population to reveal their sexuality, although Iraq is one of the more liberal places in those terms.
The Western sexuality 'oh no' thing is sometimes used to opress women. Women have power when they are sexy; some people are threatened by it (men who have the power).
So I wanted to ask you what you thought about this. Do you see that too? Or do you believe that cultures should be left sovereign no matter how badly citizens are treated due to cultural differences and that there should be no universal human rights (as some people do believe)?
