Strange as it may seem, millions of over hairy sweaty men crushed together under the sun isn't exactly my idea of a good time either! Really? I thought faggots enjoyed that sort of thing? That's why I wrote it may seem strange. That's a relief - I was concerned that my ideas about shirt-lifters might be just ignorant bigotry. You can have whatever ideas you want, but my comments about the haj aren't about bigotry. If you want to name other similar events (I can think of at least one, and it's nothing to do with muslims) I'll make similar comments about them too. And yet the one you CHOSE to comment on, complete with stereotypes of Muslims, was the haj. It was a thread about Saudi Arabia, you moron. If it walks like a duck... **** off. -- David Horne- http://www.davidhorne.net usenet (at) davidhorne (dot) co (dot) uk http://homepage.mac.com/davidhornecomposer http://soundjunction.org |

If that were to be the case, Australia's in big trouble too, but I think they realise that. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

NZ is fantastic if you like outdoors stuff. I do, but not exclusively. I used to think I needed to whiz off to far away places to climb different hills, but I've come to realise that to some extent a hill is a hill and the UK ones are generally day walk affairs, which suits us, and we are not likely to run out of new ones. If I'm going to sit on a cramped plane for hours I want interesting culture too. Then stop off in SE Asia on the way through and have a look around!

I think that was his point (though I don't take offense at that kind of thing in this context) but as I'm not sure why making fun of a mass gathering of (mostly) men is bigotted per se and I haven't made a single comment about muslims in this thread (not all muslim countries impose the form of sharia law I mentioned in the 'underwear' post FWIW) it struck me as odd that he decided to go down this route. -- aaah, repressed homosexuality ...... |

It's the city on the Malaysian mainland opposite Singapore. Right next door, but feels like another world. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

This came up in conversation with the NZ cussies, but i'm not much atracted to SE Asia. To contradict myself I fancied going the other way and stopping off on Baffin Island!
