Sorry but it is racist in the sense that middle eastern does NOT equate with muslim extremism. Perhaps you should understand that the region is a hodge podge of cultural and religious diversity ranging from middle eastern christianity to judaism. Implying that middle eastern husbands subvert their wifes to their dominion is the equivalent to saying that white southerners are all members of the kkk who desire a return to slavery.

Originally posted by jdat don't be switching this around erin ok maybe there's a bigger tendency to this kind of issue with middle eastern men, never the less; source of such behavior ( not letting wife/gf go out ) is jealous and fear, possibly even some historical beliefs that womens should not be trusted. And that, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COLOUR OR RACE. Oh and can I also bring to your attention the fact you say " middle eastern men do not let their wife do anything without their consent." ...... how's that not racist or prejudiced or a global generalization of a group of population ? pfff ridiculous.

how is it a generalization? how bout its a fact? i watch my 20/20 and witness middle eastern men and women admitting to either controlling their wives or admitting to being controlled by their husbands. sure, its a part of their culture, but i dont agree with it. just as much as i dont agree with white, black, asian...whoever husbands controlling their wives actions and decisions.

but its a little dramatic to call me a racist when i was just making a point about his intentions. not like TA doesnt have enough drama of its own...

so lets put this to rest, or you can pm me for any further questions

even if there might be an outstanding issue of this being done in that general area, I do not think it is good to go as far as saying it's common knowledge that everyone does it. That's like saying 100% of americans eat fastfood ( not the same type of thing, but just another form of stereotype ).

ok whatever

you get my point I hope or I dunno I'll pinch your bumm next week when I'm in DC

john =P

mmmm fast food

Hey guess what ... 20/20 said that most kids who go to raves and dance clubs take ecstasy. So if your kid listens to trance, I would bet on the fact that he does drugs.
