That's a completely different thing. In that case, you're dealing with another live, which is not the property of the woman...

Omg. Is that for real? How can people be so dumb? Can someone please explain?

What you need to understand here is that wearing a hijab or niqab is often not completely "her choice". Therefore it's seem as some form of opression.

First of all,I'm not sure if Islam says is mandatory, but not all religious folks go with it side by side.

For rational people, is not a secret that women are below men in most religions, specially Islam. I personally think these clothes are another shenanigan the patriarchs that wrote the Quran, used to "protect" their women (one has several), from other men. Same with the celibacy thing.

So, even though women say they choose to wear it, IMHO, this is just the Stockholm syndrome. The reality is that women raised on Islam families suffer a lot of pressure, because in their irrational tradition, the family has to decide the live of the woman. If the woman reveals against this, there is one common consequence: Disinheritance, your family will not longer treat you as a member, etc. Sure, there are religious families more tolerable, but that's not often the case.

And there's an even worst consequence a woman can face if she reveals against family traditions: Honor killing.

So, having those consequences in mind when "choosing" to wear or not a hijab, is not choosing at all.

Would you give Visa to a foreign in case is a good prospect for the job?
truth_sentinell··on When world leaders thought you shouldn't need passports or visas
Well, that's for everybody. I can't go to the USA because they demand visa with the same requirements you said.

Although there are many countries that don't demand visa, they will only allow you in for 3 months maximum.

truth_sentinell··on Mozilla has stopped all commercial development on Firefox OS
I did some research and all I could find related to capacitive was buttons out of the screen. But like I said before, you can hide the buttons bar, so it you would have to swipe up from the bottom of the screen and then touch the windows button to get to the live title stuff.. So I don't find your reason enough to do what you did, but anyway, it's your life! I'm looking forward to get my hands on IOS and see what's like

Edit: I was amazed by LG's UI on android 4.4. It's fucking cool. Those guys know how to make life easy and pretty for folks. It is actually a 14 bucks phone that kicks 100++ bucks phone assess

I don't understand if you like Windows Phone so much why didn't you get a phone with on-screen buttons? I have a Microsoft Lumia 640 and with the buttons on the screen, you can swipe up and hide the button bar, so it doesn't get in the way.

I'm actually trying to get rid of it and move because Window Phone 10's UX is a mess. Nothing makes sense, and apparently most developers don't have a clue about UX in the WP10 ecosystem.

For example, the native app to watch video, doesn't have a control to swipe and fast-forward. Wut? So you have to actually click on the length bar to get to the minute you want. That's like UX 101. And it's like this with so many apps...

truth_sentinell··on Am I Introverted, or Just Rude?
Normal when you're or went through similar. It's a way to download the rage you had for yourself into others, because doing it to you would catalyze your friend Ego. But beware, words have power. And if you say shit like that to a mentally-weak person, it can have serious consequences. So how about you shut the fuck up. That's completely unnecessary.
truth_sentinell··on Am I Introverted, or Just Rude?
I understand, because I've felt at times the same way you do, so I figured what I said above in order to "hack my brain". Doesn't matter what if I say to you the absolute truth, I think the real change comes from within.

The first step is always the hardest, but after you take it, surprinsingly and for your joy, everything will fall into place.

I don't know if this happens to you, but I was always wondering what would people think of me in certain situations, for example talking on my phone in public (where everybody can hear what I say), or wearing a sight-seeker shirt or something along those lines. That really hold me down to do things. So I also figured, most people don't give a shit, and if they comment about it, 10 min later they would have already forgotten. And of top of that, chances are you'll never see them again in your lifetime. That helped me destroy these irrational thoughts I don't even know where the hell I got them on the first place.

I suppose you went/are going through a similar addiction. It's pretty normal to say shit like this reflecting upon the other person. Disgusting and unfortunately normal.
truth_sentinell··on Am I Introverted, or Just Rude?
It seems that you're really afraid of socializing. Think of it this way, when you are in your death bed, waiting for the die(), none of these constraints you put yourself through would matter, won't even matter if you weared the shirt. But the way I see it, there are two possible outcomes in these kind of situations where you hesitate to do something for whatever reason :either you do it or you don't, in the future it won't matter what outcome you chosed, so I'll get the doing, because it will probably be another story to tell.
truth_sentinell··on Am I Introverted, or Just Rude?
I have found that the best way to get out of states like that, is force yourself into situations you like and that make you be social because of its inherited nature i.e. Get into a salsa dancing academy, get into a french course, or whatever similar thing you might like. Be so busy your mind has no time to think about addiction.

No, it's not. Passion is the only thing that gives us real purpose. Without purpose, you might as well be dead.

Wait. So you're saying you can't go sleep with a little bit of coffee in your organism? I've always wondered if that's true or a myth. I can take two cups of coffee and go to bed like a rock
