i dont find it disgusting, but i find it silly and although i dont get why, i know its a culture thing
whats disgusting is they stink, literally, ive been around hundreds of those covered turbin veil women since i was a kid, and every one of them had a vile odor like they never bathe..... and i mean every single one stank
ive left lines i was in and moved away from those veiled turbin dress women because i thought i was gonna vomit.....
holding in a puke sure keeps my memory intact on this topic......

i think dressing in tradition of one's country is okay but if i were a woman i'd feel demeaned to have to always be seen (not seen) covered up.

Your picture is a hoot- but she is probably 10-15 years older than me (or at least looks that to me).
BTW - you could afford to pay full price for some of the gadgets you tell us about if you'd stop paying for all these pay porn sites
Susan Actually, from what I understand of the Arabs dress is that the long flowing robes and stuff actually help keep them cool. I'm not sure what the physics are behind this phenomena(sp) but its what I have heard. Perhaps it is the light and loose fitting clothes that helps, they must be on to something they have survived that way in desert heat for centuries.

i guess all the hindu women ive encountered covered from head to toe that reak and cause not just me but others around me to back off and shake our heads are just us
i guess the news reporting shootings and violence at every mexicanfest and afrofest but none of the others is nothing, but as u say bigotry, i guess you think its acceptable within the minority community.... rolls eyes
fat? if your fat your fat, just dont whine about it and say metabolism while u eat unhealthy and too much food and never exercise.......
your right, they smell like roses sweating or non-bathing under those dress things, [so go stand by them] crime dont happen more in the minority community, [go walk in the minority core] and all the fat people should be able to eat 3 helpings of turkey, greasy fast food, ice cream and a cake without exercising and never gain a ounce, cuz its their metabolism...... [uh-huh]
shrugs......

Hindu (Indian) women dress very beautifully and colorfully, often even showing their midriffs into middle age:
I can't believe Lazer thinks Arabs are HINDU. Wrong part of the world. :rolleyes:

Muslim women cover up their whole bodies, and wear "modest" colors that do not draw attention--tan, white, black. Hindu women wear the colors of the goddesses: lots of gold, pink, yellow, orange, red, with intricate beadwork and stitching on their clothes, chiffon, etc. They show their midriffs and bellies often. There is NO comparison. What are you talking about?

Lazer had better not visit Australia then, we eat lots of lamb, its often cheaper than beef and I don't mind goat or camel or roo. And we like garlic, spicy food and curries too, and its hot here, alot of the time so lots sweating going on.
