It's a for profit business, nothing more, nothing less. I imagine it vets it's members the same way other dating sites do (i.e. not at all) and that it's used by the same bunch of comedians too.

Would be better if she wore one of these

I hope he remembers to unwrap them before he heads out of the studio!

We're not all surrounded by Muslims, ya know.

I don't know how many 'Meet Muslim Singles' ads you see on a regular basis, but that's a first for me. And I said "WTF?"

And a match-making service involving any religion where a woman can be killed for being seen in public w/a man who is not her husband or relative is absolutely, positvely, without a shadow of a doubt, beyond question WTF. imo

And before any of you get in high gear, I'm speaking of the ad, not the religion, not the woman in the ad, not women in general, the ad.

I don't know about better...the whole cover every inch of the woman thing suggests a severe insecurity of some sort, on the part of the men who make such rules.

That's kind of my point Grav.

That ad is clearly not aimed at muslims living in traditional muslim country. I would imagine it more likely to be aimed at American, or other international muslims. It's one of the modern innovations open to young muslims in countries where the life they lead isn't like that in traditional muslim countries, where there are more systems in place for them to find marriage partners.

The women being stoned for being seen outdoors with a man other than her husband doesn't really come into play for most American muslims, I imagine.


[eta]sorry Grav. Not intending to get at you. I understand you personally aren;t surrounded by muslims. But there are a fuck of a lot of them in the USA. Many of them born and bred American citizens.

:eek:

By "better", I mean more WTF.

Well, I admit, I lol'd

For a while I kept getting targeted email for Jewish dating sites, kosher catering and flatshares for Shomeret Shabat (in places where the communal areas were lit all Shabbat and the lifts automatically stopped at every floor). That was a bit WTF.

Then I remembered I'd entered a few competitions in a Jewish magazine, through a Competition Finder website.
What? They had great prizes!

I did delete myself from their contact list. They may have lied about sharing my details but I didn't think it fair to take that out on individuals looking for love/ customers/ someone to share the bills.

You realise, I hope, that this isn't really a 'muslim' site, it isn't run by muslims or anyone interested in Islam. The people running it have countless sister websites for just about every racial and national group on the planet. It's just a business.

And yes, there are countless other sites like it out there with most of them, as Dana suggests, aimed at muslims looking to meet someone outside the country where they currently reside.

I think some of you are so unhappy in your lives that you are only happy when you're fucking up somebody else's happy.

Infinite Monkey was right, some of you just suck the fun out like it's your purpose in life.

I wish I'd never posted the goddamn pic.

Jesus Grav, I said I was sorry and didn't mean to get at you. There's no need to get personal. That image struck you as wtf. The fact that the image struck you as wtf ...struck me as wtf.

Maybe I should just stop fucking posting here.

Hey Grav,

I can name three personal friends off the top of my head that fit this description. I don't understand your shock/smiley.

WTF. I wouldn't do that. They are very trusting. I bet they are unable to get themselves out of that bag. Their lives are in the photographer's hands.

That's a vacuum bag. We used them in school for clamping down odd shaped laminations. Not only is there no air in there, you wouldn't be able to expand your diaphragm if you could. The pressure they develop is immense.

A few years ago there was (probably the same guy) a Japanese porn fetish thing with vacuum bags.

I swear, the Japanese need to get off their island more.

eta
I just watched the video in the link. It's not the same thing as we used in school, this has much less vacuum.

"odd shaped laminations"

I'm sure i had that ailment once, the doctor gave me cream to rub on it

:lol2:

.......So all they fed the cow was chicken

I lol'd.

How hard can it be?

Tasty? :eek:

Two pounds? How many would that take?

I hope it's free range.

Actually, yes, really tasty if you ask me.
Why do us dumb English speakers insist on treating the dog breed named after the state as the only use of the name?

because of the preponderance of usage in that context

You know Ibbs don't lump me in with your "dumb " comment I know what this is but in the context of this thread I was trying to be entertaining while you are being annoyingly pedantic...:rolleyes:

[ I raise Chihuahuas its funny]

Even though she has effectively trashed that mural (lol) it actually looks really good. Kind of like that English artist who does the postcardesque pictures. Can't recall the name now.

This made my brain hurt.



The cannonballs never reached the bottom? Do they still exist, are they floating half-way down? Are they struck to the side of the mineshaft? WTF with the cannonballs? What happened w/the cannonballs?

I wondered at that wording, too. I can only guess that they went into some side shaft or onto some ledge, but that's not really a great demo of the Coriolis effect, unless they found which shaft or ledge, and showed that it was in the expected direction.

You know it's hot when...

Attachment 40523

that is a great picture!!

I have a picture very similar to this from the air show earlier this summer... but instead of telephone poles and birds, it was grounded aircrafts on display and little families hiding under the wings...

I totally do that. If it's a hot sunny day, it's significantly cooler in the shade of a pole, and if you are waiting to cross the street, there's always a pole nearby.

handy for reading the display on your phone too.

Does it work with immigrants of any other nationality though?

Only the ones from Northern climes.

:lol2:

Scandinavians.

*snort*

hahahahaha. That took me a moment.

I can't wait for my moment....

WTF, is it "new", or is it "original"?

I need to know whether to feel cheated, or not.

Attachment 40570

I've had this one for a while...

WTF is going on in this pic? Why are we having so much fun at a helicopter crash? Only the kid seems at all concerned, giving it the ol' "Oh, the humanity!!" bit. The person behind the tree seems to be thinking...I don't know what the hell she's thinking, but, it sure doesn't seem to be "Holyfuckinshittheresahelicoptercrashing!!!"

And the dude with the kid, why is his chin bloody? And the other dude, I don't know what he's doing, but, again, too damn happy about the whole thing.
