Hiatus from bloggin
I have put my dream of being a world-famous blogger on hold. i need to step away a bit. take care peoples. check out my articles if you wish. Take cares, peace.
Summer Flies
During the summer the time flies pretty quickly. I also witness many flies flying by too. The other night I had to hunt down and kill two flies in my room. It's hard to study when there are flies buzzing around.
In other news, things are changing. Every day is new and you never quite know what to expect. I am just ranting a little bit.
I got to go now friendly people. goodbyes

About Polygamy and Why Polyandry Should Not Be Equated with it
Polygamy has been going on for thousands of years, and recently the West has pointed to Saudi Arabia and Islam to show examples of polygamy. They make the claim that it is not fair for women. However, it happens in the United States by mostly non-Muslims, except they don't call it polygamy, they call it "mistresses" and "cheating on spouse."
Polygamy is only allowed in Islam if the man can be fair to his wives, and if he is financially capable of supporting them all. He has to be able to pay for all of them, with his own employment. So obviously this already makes most men unable to have more than one wife.
Another thing is this - in some societies the population of men is less than women. For example, after a war, there are many more women than men. Instead of making it impossible for the extra women to get married, God has given them a chance. And I am fairly confident that a woman who has no option for marriage other than polygamy would probably choose polygamy.
Another situation where polygamy would be seen as a blessing is one that I heard described to me. There was a couple in Egypt long ago, and the wife was infertile - she could not have children at all. A small percentage of women cannot have children. Imagine that feeling - you will not have children to love and keep you company. So anyways, her husband married another woman. It turns out that this newer wife went to work outside the home, and the first wife loved the children and was loved by the children, and the children were raised mainly by the first wife. So she was loved by the new kids and when they grew up they took care of her.
So there are situations where multiple wives is something decent and workable. Most men arecurrently interested in marrying one woman. Let's face it: it's not so easy and men often get cold feet about marrying one. Being fair is not that easy - and in the Quran, Allah says: ‘…if you fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with them, then only one’.” Also, consent of the woman who is to be married must be obtained. Arranged marriages without the couples' consent are not allowed.
The West has long had a notion that real love has to be between only 2 people. They claim that it is impossible that a man can love two women equally. Firstly, love is complex and is not like powdered sugar that you can measure. Of course a man can love two women. Secondly, after the initial honeymoon period, the marriage is more about sharing work and managing a household. Marriage is a means of establishing a family, and helping individuals flourish in a safe environment. It needs everyone to contribute. If there are multiple wives, the children may very well become more well-grounded and educated children. There will be better supervision of them, and they will likely learn more from all the adults than from only one parent.
So people sometimes bring up the statement and question, "how about one woman marrying multiple men?" It's a logical outgrowth of the feminist platform - they claim equality should be allowed because a woman should get the same rights as a man.
There are issues with polyandry, however. The main reason can be summed up as this: women and men are different in some important ways. They are both accountable to God and intellectually equal, but they have differences. Women live longer than men, and women learn language earlier and faster than men. Men are physically stronger, and have better emotional control.
When it comes to multiple men with one woman, which is called polyandry, there are a number of issues that come up that make this arrangement problematic and unnatural.
First of all, there is the issue of who is the father whenever the woman becomes pregnant. Every time the woman has a child, they will have to do DNA testing to make sure. And this is undoubtedly an awkward situation.
Second issue is this - men are naturally more competitive and aggressive than women. How will the multiple men resolve disagreements among themselves? It is a simple fact that men are usually better suited for leadership, because of being both physically stronger and having more calmness during emergencies and tragedies. I am not saying this out of any kind of pride whatsoever, but when it comes to the relative strengths of men versus women, leadership and being emotionally controlled is more of a masculine trait than a feminine one. Women have their own strengths, too, such as communication and social tact to name a few.
So it would lead to very awkward situations among the men. Who will be the main breadwinner, for instance? When Adam goes shopping and Bob also goes shopping who will be expected to pay? In any organization, one leader is better than two. The old saying "a ship with two captains will sink" applies here.
Personally, I can say that I as a man would never at all even want another man to flirt with my wife. I could never imagine being in a polyandrous relationship.
Needless to say, it is prohibited in Islam for a wife to have multiple husbands. A reasonable woman would not want this anyway. Would she feel comfortable being a ruler of them, or witnessing conflicts over power among the other men? It is very likely also, that the woman would have a harder time treating the men equally than for a man to treat the women equally. Women statistically initiate more than 60% of divorces. This means something important - women are more likely to ask for a divorce than men. If women and men were equal, then shouldn't the divorce rates be 50%. The reason women initiate more divorces is psychological. Women are more emotional and more likely to choose exit as an option and "solution" than men. Perhaps in today's society the divorce laws which give women half of her husband's wealth(unless a prenup is arranged) is the reason. This is likely a big part of it. In any case, it is a statistic that shows that women and men are different.
It must be pointed out that a woman does deserve and need care more than a man. A woman in Islam has a right to be cared for financially. She does not need to work outside the home at all. In Islam, if a woman wanted, she could live her whole life in her parents home. She could theoretically devote her life to simply academic pursuits - just reading or just sewing. She must be taken care of, by a male relative. So if her father died, then her brother must step up. Thus, in Islam there is no single woman out on the streets who decides to sell her body because she claims she has no other option. In Islam, a woman's dignity is preserved.
It needs to be mentioned that all abuse is prohibited in Islam, such as "sadism." All abusive actions are sinful. If a man did have multiple wives, then first of all the rules of modesty always apply. The woman need to have their own privacy. Each woman must have her own room, then. Secondly, he is supposed to be fair to them.
Here's another reason polyandry is something to be avoided. If multiple men have relations with one woman, the chances of a STD spreading is there, even if all the men were virgins before. But if one virgin man marries four(the maximum number of wives) virgin woman, and they all stay clean, then sexually transmitted diseases will not arise.
There are women in this world who find polygamy perfectly normal and who are one of multiple wives. They are used to it and find some advantages to it too. Such as having the assistance of the elderly wife, whenever she needs help with something. Also, they may find more peace in their sisterly bond.
On the other hand, polyandry is reported to exist only as the form called "fraternal polyandry" where multiple brothers have one wife together. This is very rare. This is supposedly going on in Nepal, but otherwise it is extremely rare.
So the bottom line is the U.S. should allow polygamy. They cannot claim any moral ground when adultery is rampant, and politicians are coming out left and right with scandals. At least once every few months another politican is exposed to have a mistress. The law should allow polygamy under fair laws that require the man to be gainfully employed and have sufficient money to support the wives, and the wives have contractually agreed to the marriage.
Polygamy is only allowed in Islam if the man can be fair to his wives, and if he is financially capable of supporting them all. He has to be able to pay for all of them, with his own employment. So obviously this already makes most men unable to have more than one wife.

On Our Love of Big Cars
Americans really like big cars. Unusually big cars. Only in American can you find cars such as the Hummer, or even more excessive, this behemoth called the 2007 Freightliner Sportchassis which honestly looks like a motorized monster...
Anyways, the love of big fat autos dates back a while. Before the oil crisis in the 70s, Americans were in love with big sedans. Long, long hoods were the norm.
Only after the oil embargo years did they started shifting a little...
But then came back to big huge cars. Well, partly the excuse may be that here we have WIDE open roads.
Big cars are indeed safer...
But gosh, what about gaz guzzling impracticality?
In most of the rest of the planet, people drive little cars. Hey, they move.
So anyway, I am in support of the little underdog. The Mini, Nano, and Scion. The VW Bug too, but that's a bit girlie for me.

1 minute post
Hi everyone. I miss you all already. So I'm writing a one-minute greeting to all you earthlings. What's up everyone. OK, I don't miss you all anymore. goodbyes.
A five minute blog
This blog posting will take five minutes to type. It is now 2:24 PM. So what will I say? Whatever comes to that strange mass of grey matter up there in my cranium. OK, so that's the deal.
I found a new cool, brainy web site called www.lumosity.com that has some nice games. I got into the Word Bubbles game, and it's fun. It always makes me feel amazed when I go afterwards to the dictionary and try to see what the words that I missed are.
OK, what else is new? I play basketball every now and then, but I decided to forego any more visits to the local playground gym for the pick-up games. Why? Because I'm not a 6'3" beast capable of withstanding the random hits and swipes that ensue. I decided that it's not worth it now, to go to the gym and let random strangers punch me accidentally, or get me tripped or whatever, even if it's accidental. One time in the NBA Karl Malone accidentally or perhaps not so accidentally elbowed someone, and anyways, it's something tragic...
OK, so I'll avoid the pickup games because the people there are generally rough and don't play so easily. Instead, I like to just shoot alone. Sometimes I make basketball videos of crazy shots too.
Yes, if I get lucky I may try to make a cool and very exciting type of basketball video. OK I'm rambling and sounding (FOB-Ish) weird now. OK, let's see
And they say that you can learn something new every day. Well, some people learn new things every day, others don't.
You see, you can learn a lot every day, but you have to actually try. You have to put in some effort I believe. I'm running out of time here, so let me say some parting words as the clock comes to 2:29 PM, ok so I like you all, please visit often, life is like a box of chocolates, ok come on time run out already! abba dabba doo, what's the dealio dealio do, OK let's go second hand - DOH! OK yes, OK it's here, goodbye all peace

The Internet
It's so amazing how fast the internet is growing. It seems like a real gigantic explosion of data, the greatest information system invented. Fast, fast, fast - you think it's slow but it's fast.
Code is working hard while most of us just simply use it and we mostly take all the bytes and commands and swapping of memory for granted.
YouTube alone has at least 100,000,000 videos! Metacafe has oodles of them too. Yahoo! Answers has over 5,000,000 questions and at least 1/4th of them are rather childish. Wikipedia has over 2,700,000 English articles, plus dozens of millions of other articles in other languages. Flickr has over 10,000,000 pictures, but that's nothing compared to Facebook...
News every day flooding our inboxes, and funny emails and online games dissecting our time like little knives. Torrential torrents and satellite currents. Where is the time going! It's starting to go more and more into the digital and virtual world we call the web. Ah, a web reminds one of a spiderweb, and some content is indeed addictive and can catch you!
The world wide web has reached almost every corner of the globe. If you can afford it you can use the web in a tree in a jungle of Madagascar, and guess what? I want to add that to my bucket list...

My second blog of all time
Typing a lot is something we all are doing more of. But this is somewhat dangerous. Too much typing leads to carpal tunnel syndrome. You have to take breaks every now and then - like every 30 minutes if you're typing hard.
Thing is, I got experience from this the hard way...
Make sure to sit up right! Lounging makes it worse for your hands. Your hands need to be elevated, with wrists at the same level as your knuckles.
This blog is meh/lame so far but don't worry I'll throw in cheese puffs and sprinkles soon.
Chatting a lot is one sure way to kill your wrists... umm.. please just call up local friends a bit more often and chat with random strangers less. Again, carpal tunnel syndrome is real.
OK, take care and peace. It's 9 PM and it's time for me to go, I shall commence a blogging hiatus that will extend until nigh of next new year...

My very first blog
Hello World!
This is my first blog, and I'll start by saying, I shouldn't be blogging right this very moment. I should be doing my homework. But, alas, I am blogging.
So what will I blog about. I will blog about random things and things that bother me, the net, my religion - Islam, dieting, basketball, cheese, candy, silver, and about personal issues and my advice to my peers for succeeding in college.
I have decided to boycott television. The other day they wasted my time on some late-night TV program by appealing to the lowest common denominator like they do... it was about people dying. Well, I feel guilty now I'm admitting this, but I will stop so maybe I shouldn't feel guilty. The thing that makes me annoyed and sick at the TV is just how low they are going now. They show all these sensational images then there's an exaggerated voice of this guy saying "Who will live? Who will die?" and it sounded soooooo cheesy/annoying/tacky/nasty/sickening all rolled into one.
I will watch TV on Youtube though. That doesn't count, does it?
This is my first blog, and I'll start by saying, I shouldn't be blogging right this very moment. I should be doing my homework. But, alas, I am blogging.
So what will I blog about. I will blog about random things and things that bother me, the net, my religion - Islam, dieting, basketball, cheese, candy, silver, and about personal issues and my advice to my peers for succeeding in college.
I have decided to boycott television. The other day they wasted my time on some late-night TV program by appealing to the lowest common denominator like they do... it was about people dying. Well, I feel guilty now I'm admitting this, but I will stop so maybe I shouldn't feel guilty. The thing that makes me annoyed and sick at the TV is just how low they are going now. They show all these sensational images then there's an exaggerated voice of this guy saying "Who will live? Who will die?" and it sounded soooooo cheesy/annoying/tacky/nasty/sickening all rolled into one.
