You're stuck on the subject of what Arabs have done to the rest of the world Not "done to", but "done for" the rest of the World. What positive contributions have they made? If *this* country had been sliced up and rearranged into meaningless arrangements by foreign powers and a number of wars, you'd find that OUR contributions would be hindered somewhat. Survival would become more important. So what you're saying is that you can't list any positive contributions to society from the Arab world in the last 100 years. Isn't that what I said last week? And what Harry said 2 1/2 years ago...before he changed his mind? I said nothing of the kind. What I said is true. If a country or region is ravaged by war, or politically manipulated in ways which were not designed to benefit the region, it has SOME EFFECT on the ability to function in what you or I would consider "normal". But, you deny that the Middle East has been touched by us, Europe or Russia over the past 100 years Oh, give it up. There have been many races, cultures, and nations which have been tinkered with by outside influence over the years. Yet, most of those have managed to make significant contributions to society despite the "oppression". Quit making excuses for the Arabs. They've contributed zilch over the last century. Your attitude has one redeeming quality. You will raise your children to think as you do. Therefore, companies like McDonald's and Wendy's will never have problems staffing their front counters, and I will be able to get lunch quickly. That's pretty funny, Doug...especially coming from someone who's son was out of a job for months on end due to his possessing no positive redeeming qualities. What the **** are you talking about? My son's 15. :-) It's illegal in this state for kids that age to do much of anything except mow lawns. Sorry, that was the Mark Browne. You liberals all look alike on a computer monitor. |

So what you're saying is that you can't list any positive contributions to society from the Arab world in the last 100 years. They're out the For example, Chemistry. (Nobel prize winner in 1999 was an Arab) That's a bit of stretch, don't you think, Chuck? The guy had been an instructer at Caltech for 23 years prior to the award. He was more "American" than Arab. Excluding Arab-Americans, Arab-Europeans, etc., what positive contributions have Arabs living in Arab nations made to society in the last 100 years? What contributions would you consider valid ones?

If the Arabs haven't made one positive contribution to society in the last 100 years, it's the fault of the West. It's the new dem's campaign strategy......"Blame it on America" Oh. Another genius who was chokin' his chicken in history class. Here's a yes or no question for you. Do you believe that on the whole, the countries of the Middle East have been left pretty much alone for the past 100 years, and were able to pursue a natural course of development? Yes, or no. No. Now a question for you: What positive contributions have the Arab nations made to society in the last 100 years? (This isn't the time to lay blame...just list the contributions). A series of great books by Naguib Mahfouz. He used to be center for the Denver Nuggets, right? Then he was traded to Atlanta, the Nets...and then the Knicks. |

It is really getting bad... NOYB used to be one that one could have a good
and insightful banter with... Now he has degraded to nothing but a petty crybaby ... Nuke the middle east, oil won't be affected, send the Guantanamo detainees to recover the oil... Here's a hint for you NOYB, Nuclear contamination affects everything. Granted the oil in ground might not be affected, but once it is brought out of the ground it will be. It will still be affected when it goes onto the boat to bring it to the refinery. Still affected when it is processed into the final form used by the consumer. Still affected as the consumer uses it. Sure, lets just nuke the middle east and slowly kill everyone in the world by the hundreds of years of contamination caused. Lets also not forget the Nuclear Cloud... Where will it land? Will the wind carry it only over the Arab world? What about the wind shift that carries it west and dumps it on England.... Carries it further and drops it on New York City.... Man, suddenly Sept 11, 2001 doesn't seem so bad, after all, there is one in the right wing that would want to kill-em-all including anyone that just happens to be in the wrong place years down the road.

The huge amount of outrage shown by the World in regard to the Abu Ghraib pictures...compared to the ho-hum attitude displayed following the Berg decapitation.

Well, there's the late Hassan Fathy, an Egyptian I knew and greatly admired. Hassan Fathy Fathy devoted himself to housing the poor in developing nations and deserves study by anyone involved in rural improvement. Fathy worked to create an indigenous environment at a minimal cost, and in so doing to improve the economy and the standard of living in rural areas. Fathy utilized ancient design methods and materials. He integrated a knowledge of the rural Egyptian economic situation with a wide knowledge of ancient architectural and town design techniques. He trained local inhabitants to make their own materials and build their own buildings. Climatic conditions, public health considerations, and ancient craft skills also affected his design decisions. Based on the structural massing of ancient buildings, Fathy incorporated dense brick walls and traditional courtyard forms to provide passive cooling. 23 March 1900 Born in Alexandria, Egypt. 1926 Graduated from High School of Engineering, Architectural Section, University of King Fuad I (now University of Cairo), Cairo. 1926-1930 Worked at the Department of Municipal Affairs, Cairo. 1930-1946 Taught at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Cairo. 1937 Designed and exhibited first mud brick projects - country houses for Lower Egypt. 1941 Constructed first mud brick structures incorporating the inclined vault - experimental housing in Bahtim, Egypt, commissioned by the Royal Society of Agriculture. 1946-1953 Delegated to the Antiquities Department to design and supervise the project of New Gourna Village at Luxor, to displace the inhabitants of the Old Gourna from the Antiquities Zone. 1949-1952 Appointed Director of the School Building Department, Ministry of Education. 1950 Delegated Consultant to the United Nations Refugee World Assistance. 1953-1957 Returned to teaching at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Cairo. Head of the Architectural Section in 1954. 1957-1962 Joined Doxiades Associates in Athens as consultant. Lecturer on Climate and Architecture at the Athens Technical Institute. Member of the Research Project for the City of the Future. 1963-1965 Director of Pilot Projects for Housing, Ministry of Scientific Research, Cairo. Designed High Institute of Social Anthropology and Folk Art for the Ministry of Culture, Cairo. Worked as Consultant to the Minister of Tourism, Cairo. Delegated by the United Nations Organization for Rural Development Project in Saudi Arabia. 1966 Lectured on philosophy and aesthetics in Town Planning and Architecture Department at al-Azhar University. 1975-1977 Lectured on rural housing at the Faculty of Agriculture, Cairo University. 1976-1980 Member, Steering Committee, Aga Khan Award for Architecture. 1977- Founder and Director, the International Institute for Appropriate Technology.

And then, of course, there is the Aga Khan. And Sadat.

Well, unlike you, I don't suffer from a rigid personality or locked intellectuality. I don't believe Arab society has contributed much since the last 50 years of the Ottoman Empire, but, of course, there have been some individuals who have made a positive difference. There were even a few righteous Germans in Germany during WW II. I don't think much of Arab society for the last 100-150 years. |

What about the terrorists the U.S. are "turning out"? Should we bomb ourselves? It' pretty shallow of you to think that if any global occurence doesn't fit YOUR idea of *good*, then the country where that instance occured should be bombed. Purely childish, grow up. *My* idea of good? You mean, there are sane people in the World who actually think that intentionally targeting women and children in terrorist attacks is a "good" thing? Are you one of those ****-ups? No, you are, NOYB. We just done that....in Iraq. "We just done that"? LOL. Classic. Nevertheless, are you saying we *intentionally* targeted women and children in terrorist attacks? Remember, the key word here is *intentionally*. You are correct. Our weapons are specifically designed so that if they land on a building containing men, women and children, they only kill the men. We don't hide armed soldiers among women and children.
