I am telling you what the problem is but you don't want to understand it, instead you play the victim role that you are getting this from EVERYONE on the forum.
I am not trying to play any fucking roles. I am trying to find out what problem you have with me. The problem is i dont understand it? Well how about you fucking tell me what i dont fucking understand instead of just saying i dont understand it, its not fucking difficult.

I put that there because you were making me out to be a cunt because i find it morally reprehensible for people to discriminate against others because of the colour of their skin.
Oh god not this bullshit again, how many times do I have to tell you, I am not a racist! Telling jokes and having the word "nigger" in my signature (after Burke put it there) has nothing to do with discrimination or racism. Just because you can't determine between what actual racism looks like and what you have been spoon fed by idiotic political correctness doesn't mean the rest of us are scared to have a laugh. Taking everything so rigid and seriously that you equate a joke to discrimination is a very poor attitude to have with a sensitive issue such as racism. Race is only a huge deal because people make it that way, by making a big stink over the word nigger you feed the hate and power that a word like that has over people.

Once again, I am not racist

Words written down can be taken in any context, perhaps if you were reading them allowed where verbal and non verbal conventions could be taken into account then it would be a different issue.

There is nothing wrong with political correction. No one has a right to be unoffended, but that doesn't mean we have to offend people.

I already told you. Your attitude.

Someone posted an analysis of a movie, his own interpretation and what was your response? Shallow! And how did you back it up? By telling us how educated you are and how much more you are informed about movies that others. Attitude.

There are several threads about different music genres on the forum. And in each there there are mainstream and classical songs being discussed, instead what did you do? Start a thread called THE OFFICIAL GOOD MUSIC THREAD that simply points out to no specific genre at all but collects songs from here and there that you simply like. Fine, you want to share your taste in music, you could have done it in hundred different ways that disregarding all other threads by starting THE official good music thread. Attitude again.

Then when one mentions it, you refer that you get this shit ALL THE TIME from EVERYONE on this forum. Also attitude.

And when a bunch of members question your music thread title it takes a while (attitude) to admit that it was ONLY about music that YOU like.

Now if you don't want to understand what I just said in the simplest of English, it's only your problem. (attitude?)

I will accept everything you've said there and work on it.

But what i meant by that post was what i had posted in the first post of that thread was songs that i liked and i wanted other people to share afterwoods, sorry for the misunderstanding.

Except if they're religious.
I dont say anything politically uncorrect when im talking about religions to my knowledge. Criticising someones beliefs isnt going against political correctness. If anyone wants to criticise my beliefs they are welcome to do so, thats the point of a debate, but they can expect me to defend them. The same way i expect them to defend theres if i criticise them.

I just had to say it. No big deal. But I was talking about you being insulting to religious people, not religions.

'Why did the Ottoman Empire prove unable to retain its Arab territories in the first two decades of the twentieth century?'

that's the best 2 things : getting payed well and having cool colleagues...stick to that :). Any live coverage of a game ?...the tonight match ? :D
I will :)

Ofcourse its the awesome Al-Jazeera here :D

:lol: its the same thing over here, but i;m basing my opinion on saudi where burger king>>>>>>>>>> burger king cairo ( which i think is average at best!!) >>> mac

mac here is better than burger king not to mention that like amman it seems burger king is over priced in both places. i remember while in high school burger king was the same price as mac but in cairo its not quite the same.. i understand what u mean but another place is better than pizza hut.
Pay Jordan a visit and I'll prove it to you, EVERYONE here thought the same as you and when I "made them" taste Cycilia pizza they became more of a V.I.P than I am :frown:

Because the gap was so big between the Ottmans and the Arabs at that point. As the Ottmans(who at that time went far from what their ancestors were) started a racist policy of disregarding Arabs on the expense of regarding Turks and that was somewhat acceptable in most parts but then came another policy of them disregarding the Arab language that is the Qur'an's language by asking for Turkish to be the primary language and ordering everyone to learn Turkish or face penalties that start from being jailed to being executed.

And so Britain took advantage of that by providing some of the Arab leaders at that time with money and weaponry to start a rebellion to over-throw the Ottman with a promise of a unified Arabian Kingdom. And they bought it :sergio:

There were no promises, there were suggestions which Hussein fell for. Im not defending what the British did, they were extremely cunning about how they went about things. These are the main criteria im looking at.

The role of western imperialism, the Arab revolt, joining World War 1, the young turk revolution.

As someone who knows the history, what do you recon?
