Sheikh Hilali had a point! : Comments

By Dave Smith, published 14/11/2006

It’s about time we Australians took an honest look at the effect dress codes in our culture have on our society.

Ha Ha Dave you make me laugh. I'll talk you through what you do next time you see a young lady showing a bit. Well first you give her a once over. If she is pretty ugly, well it doesn't matter how much flesh is being exposed. Don't look man, it's bad for you. (Should be laws against it come to think of it). Next, if she is a bit of alright, have a 'sneeky peek'. This is where you pretend to look elsewhere but linger for a second or two (but no more than 3 seconds, because that would be staring. And it's rude to stare Dave, you dirty dog you!) Generally you can repeat this strategy up to 3 times. Never make eye contact (unless you are single, or atleast certainly if you are in the company of a woman) or if you may be percieved by the young woman as a 'fat old letch' or such. Oh, and if you are with a woman, you must position yourself in a safe position to not be seen.
OK, looking at young pretty girls, Dave, is supposed to make you feel, well, nice. Not in a way that makes you foam at the mouth and start trying to hump a streetpole, but rather a dreamy, warm feeling that lasts for maybe a seconds or maybe a few minutes. More importantly, enough encounters of this kind over the course of the day and you may find you have a lovely appetite by the time you get home. If, Dave (as in my case) you have a beautiful wife, you may wish to make love to her. If not, engage yourself with some suitable reading material
The above is normal and acceptable and harmless. Suggesting that Males are uncontrollable animals that are succeptable to forcing others into the act of fornication at the mere sight of skin is degrading to us all. My message is simple. Dave, get a grip with the boobies thing, and muslims, control your repressed urges.

Oh would I could subdue the flesh
Which sadly troubles me!
And then perhaps could view the flesh
As though I never knew the flesh
And merry misery.

.....

Get down from me! I thunder there,
You spaniels! Shut your jaws!
Your teeth are stuffed with underwear,
Suspenders torn asunder there
And buttocks in your paws!

Oh whip the dogs away my Lord,
They make me ill with lust.
Bend bare knees down to pray, my Lord,
Teach sulky lips to say, my Lord,
That flaxen hair is dust.

- From “Senex” by Sir John Betjeman (1906-84)

trueaussie I am wondering what the following is based on "and muslims, control your repressed urges" facts or just someone not controlling themselves like they tell others to do?

KWV .. I'm here ! :)
there are post limits you know and I post on many threads...cannot be everywhere all the time.

Please do me the courtesy of pointing to 'one' 'sexist' comment and I'll then respond to that specific issue.

On 'evidence' well.. it depends what we are talking about.
Often I simply speak from the viewpoint of my Australian CULTURE and that is not a thing we find 'evidence' for, we just live it.

On the Bible.. good grief.. the only verse I mentioned was "stir one another up to good works" and you taking issue over 'versions' with THAT ? I'm stunned. If I said "Jesus is coming back next week" I would expect some challenge, but not about 'doing good'.
Maybe you are expecting there is some version somewhere where Jesus or one of the Apostles says "Do bad works"? :)

The statement 'wherever there are muslim populations'etc as you qutoed from Ben I presume, is actually quite true, but its a matter of degree. With any population, you will have the statistical mean and maxima and minima.. extremes of lethargy and radicalism with a pretty moderate 'get on with life' mean.

A 'radical' or passionate Buddhist who feels Buddhism is threatened by a government is more likely to burn himSELF in flames as they did in Vietnam rather than take up arms. This might be connected to their 'teaching' ? Then there is their history. No history of Buddhist uprisings I know of. Maybe Tibet is a possible exception.

In the same way, a passionate Muslim is more likely to take up arms as per their...wait for it... TEACHING. "Fight them wherever you find them" kind of thing. HIstory ? Its the history of war, from Mohammeds 27 battles down to today.

my goodness..FRANK... I need to apply some special attention to you here.

CHRIS C "To most of the above"

BOAZ "you condemned pretty much all of"

Does the difference mean THAT much to you Frank ?

"pretty much all" "most"

Not something I'd be taking issue with myself. (does the word 'petty' come to mind ?)

But if it makes you happy... "Im sorry" for lax perception.

Chris did make one statement I totally agree with.

"There is something terribly wrong in the hearts of men, and until this is addressed, women will live in fear"

I would add "...and women" to the heart problem.

So, this leads to ... SOLUTIONS.

Add a 'T' to Chris's name and you have it.

Paul describes the unspiritual man as follows (Using himself as an example)
Romans 7
21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God's law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am!Who will rescue me from this body of death?

ANSWER ?

25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!

METHOD ? (Romans8)

1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,[a] 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death

CONCLUSION

The Spirit filled life.

Congratulations Dave, I think that you have hit the nail on the head. You, at least have had the guts to say what you believe and I not only support you in that, I also support you in your view.
I don't have any daughters, and to some degree I am rather glad about that as it has saved me a lot of anxiety. Young girls today are encouraged to flaunt themselves by the 'role models' that they view through the entertaintment arena and as you point out, are very niave about the sexual drive of young boys and men. I would encourage all parents of young girls to encourage more modest dressing in public. Not to the extent that the Muslim woman choose as dictated by their religion, but not to the extent that they are barely covering their bodies with what they are wearing. I think that it is a tragedy that young girls and woman are behaving this way, without the knowledge of what it is doing to men and then cry victim when they are violated. There seems to be some education required by parents so that they get back the control that is necessary for protecting their children.
