Fukushima plume heading across Pacific to U.S. and Canada

I'm getting married next month and moving to Saudi Arabia. So I've decided to stop worrying about these things.

 

The News says North Korea has restarted its nuclear reactor, this is a worry.

 

Maybe they will just take themselves out...

 

this :2thumbsup:

 

Strike one, two and three. Did a hole, then dig it deeper. Did you remember to take a ladder down in that hole with you? Just kidding....

 

So getting married actually gives people peace of mind?

 

Unfortunately Saudi Arabia is presently the safest place in the middle east because of how much money they put in the pocket of US politicians. However my future husband isn't Saudi but he does own a business there.

It wasn't my first choice but it does fit in with what I want.
1) It's an Islamic nation under Islamic law
2) I can be as pious as I need or want to be and not be ridiculed
3) I won't have to work anymore
4) I've been enrolled for next years term in University. (I can finish my education)

I can't explain what happen to me and I really wish that I could. But something did happen and this devine revelation changed my entire personality and nature. My old personality and the person that I used to be are so far removed from who I am today that they're almost unreal... Almost as if it was just a figment of imagination.

I know that 99% of the people in this world just can't understand that. It's so out of your paradigms that it's impossible to grasp the concept of the possiblity that a devine force can reach into very being and just * flip * you right round. Sadly there is no way possible that I could ever explain it to any of you... You would have had to experience it yourselves to understand.

So in short I want to move to a strict Islamic state with all my soul. I feel an over powering compulsion to dress very modestly, pray, and lower my gaze in submission. My desires are now simple.. Love and fear Allah(swt), honor my future husband and have his children and accept with joy whatever happens to me regardless of it's good or bad. (If it's a hole that I'm placed in then so be it.. Allah(swt) wants me to be there and I'll be greatful for it

Therefore educating people about things like Fukushima is no longer my problem. I'll do my part to spread the message but after that it's up to Allah(swt) to make them understand. So this is the reason why I'm not interested in arguing, debating or anything other than saying * look at this.*

 

Would be great if you would keep posting here and share insight about your experience there!

 

I probably won't

 

Perhaps start a blog.

 

Fantastic parasitic goal for life.

 

Associations, cultural perspectives. You don't know how productive an arabic wife might be. Doesn't have to be that parasitic by definition of course.

 

Not at all. And how would you support that claim?

Depends how you define that productiveness. Giving birth to half a dozen kids is surely no mean feat but I wouldn't actually call it productive.

It's the attitude. I don't want to work so I'm going to marry some wealthy guy and live out of his pocket. That's pathetic.

 

I think the attitude could be projected and that is what I ment. She might go for it because she has different associations and looking at it from a different cultural perspective. Anyway, I don't believe people have to be productive at all anyway to avoid being a parasite so I guess it must be by other people's associations that they proclaim it to automatically be a parasitic choice.

 

This cultural perspective is little more than an excuse to me. Women in many different cultures think and act that way.

People don't always have to be "productive". But they should be able to stand on their own two feet. I don't understand the part of the association, though.

 

Your set of associations have caused you to perceive it an parasitic choice, while my set of associations causes me not to see it like that immediatly. We can apply this on everything since all people have their own set of individual associations. When a lot of people have the same associations a consensus or cultural perspective is formed. I ment the association part in that regard.
But from a cultural perspective it is also so that she is not a parasite in her future society since that society prefers women to not work so how would she be a parasite in that society when she complies to its norms..

 

Sorry, but I don't see it like that. Those cultural associations (or maybe stereotypes) do exist but I would like to think that I don't react that way. What get's to me (and you can re-read the post I responded to) is the mindset she expresses. Basically she doesn't really want to go to Saudi Arabia but so what? Future hubby is going to pay for everything and she doesn't have to go to work. It does not matter if this "behavior" is accepted or even promoted where she is going.

 

why is her life, her choice to follow her faith and passion even a point to debate?

Actually, the phenomena of you flipping from one set of beliefs and radically changing is a completely understandable psychological phenomena.

In fact it's very common to see individuals who have experienced some kinda of traumatic event go into this pattern of radical change.

So as supernatural as you might think it is, it's actually very well known.

But you yourself have admitted that you have a lot of smugness, and if I understand correctly, that's pride, and is also a sin in both the Christian faith and Islamic faith...so why are you okay with being smug it seems contradictory to the faith you declare yourself with now.

Anthropologists would disagree with you that giving birth and raising half a dozen kids is unproductive.

It's not really, I think people are only commenting on this because her perspective in life, dicated by her faith, is influencing how she is able to engage in debate and conversations with us about politics, technology and world events.

So what's rubbing some people the wrong way is the fact that she presents a claim/argument on a topic, people respond to argue the details or to make mention of logical fallacies where her perspective can't be broadly applied as fact.

And she just refuses to amend the original statement and double-downs on her original position.

 

You don't have to apologize for that

I ment your personal individual associations that caused you to say that. It might also be the consensus where you live, but I didn't mean that when I first mentioned associations
As I read this:

.. I also see it as your individual associations primarily that caused you to express the opinion that you have. When I read her post I did not get the same opinion you have because I guess I interpretated it differently partly due to my own associations. I have the feeling the consensus in your and mine area are relatively the same anyway. I also think we are spending too much time on this in the wrong thread but I answer anyway :2thumbsup:
