I saw this on MSN.com and it was really interesting. Now, most of you guys probably think I'm anti-arab, but I'm not. These are some cool pictures and interesting.

The ski resort is quite surprising.

Oh and it's: "Klicken Sie auf dieser Seite auf den Jungen mit dem gr?n-roten Gesicht." or you make it less official and say "Klickt hier auf den Jungen mit dem gr?n-roten Gesicht."

The Iranians aren't Arabs, Nickleplate, in fact they hate the Arabs.

Iran = Aryan - hence the good-looking women. :smile:

  • I always try to use "Sie" instead of "du" just because it sounds more respectful and since I'm an american, I've already got so much stacked against me in other countries. Also, today I did not have time for proper grammar and/or sentence structure, Entschuldigung. I didn't even have time to put umlauts.
  • well, most times, the Iranians get lumped together with the Iraqis and the Arabs mostly I use the term "arab" to mean "people of middle-eastern descent" and by middle eastern I count from egypt to the Caucasus. A pretty large group... And yeah, the Cimmerian was hott.
  • The reason i figured that you'd think I was anti-arab is because I am so vocal against Islam extremism that some might think I hate them. I really don't -- I love everyone. seriously i do.
PS. Andrei, you thread-derailing fakalietsist, you'll get what's coming to you, peste....

In my opinion a hatred of Islamic fundamentalists and contempt for Islam in general indicates a sound, healthy mind.

Not Muslims, Doc - Islam the religion.
There are at least 100,000 Muslims in Bradford so I interact with them every day. I would say the vast majority are decent, friendly people (the men anyway, I can't speak for the women) but their religion is contemptible. In my opinion at least.

Well, Fatstrings, I am affected negatively but that's by-the-by. I would have the right to an opinion nonetheless.

What I always found odd was, that damned few people understand just how many topics one can be "Extreme" about.

I find it equally extreme if you go to far in your dislike for Muslim extremists. One can be just as destabilizing in supposed peaceful views.
Anyway, just thought I'd point out that easily overlooked point.

The best things in life, aren't things.
