Shot! I missed it! Whens the next one? When do they hold the puntland independence party, maybe I'll be able to make it to that one.

How do you start a conversation with the hot girl across the room? Well, according to scientific research the best way is to go up to her and grab her ***.

Women rubbed the right way
By STEPHEN LAUTENS
When you've been married for more than 15 years, you sort of lose touch with the dating scene. Or at least you should be out of touch with the dating scene.
If you're still dating after being married for 15 years, I know a couple of good divorce lawyers who would love to speak to you -- at $300 an hour.
Back in my dating years I, of course, considered myself pretty smooth -- but then again I have yet to meet a man who doesn't think he is.
My style was sincere, funny and respectful, which I hoped made me stand out from the other guys in the room who were crude, rude and grabby.
It turns out, I had it all wrong, at least according to a new survey conducted by a medical resident at Queen's University, Kingston.
Jonathan Huber surveyed 143 women in clubs between the ages of 18 and 28 about what works when a man is trying to get their attention at a bar.
While most women in the survey said they preferred a man introduce himself and start a conversation when they first meet, about 30% said "grinding" is an acceptable way to pick someone up.
"Grinding" is exactly what it sounds like -- a man introduces himself to a strange woman by coming up behind her on the dance floor and rubbing his pelvis against her.
In case you think this is a bit exaggerated, 84% of the women in the survey say this is how they have personally experienced new men introducing themselves.
And to think I wasted all that money on business cards.
Just in case you think this is a man thing somehow coded in our leftover male monkey DNA, a little less than half the women surveyed said they, too, first introduced themselves to men at a bar by rubbing a man's behind.
Back in the day, I do recall once having my butt pinched by a woman on a dance floor, but the contact was brief and to the point, and over so fast it left me wondering if I had imagined it.
Compared to grinding, a pinch now seems to almost qualify as witty conversation.
Another startling finding in the survey is 3.5% of the women asked said touching their breasts was an "acceptable alternative to hello".
Now, 3.5% is not very high, but if you're in a bar with 200 women, that means statistically somewhere there are seven of them who will let you shake more than their hands when you introduce yourself.
Of course, the secret is always figuring out which ones they are.
Is this just sour grapes from someone who has been thrown clear of the dating scene?
You bet.
Dating in what was considered the sexually liberated late '70s and early '80s is going to seem like going to a party to waltz to my grandchildren.
I can see that as a magical moment a modern couple's golden wedding anniversary celebration, as they tell the grandchildren how they first met: "Your grandfather, the old romantic, had just finished grinding his way down all the other women at the bar, but when he ground his pelvis into my behind, sparks flew and I knew it was something special. He never was much of a talker, but boy could he sneak up behind you on a crowded dance floor and start polishing the Captain's Quarters."

Originally posted by LayZieGirl:Pistons didn't bring pistons basketball, but like I said before 4-2, pistons will close it out in chi-town. Don't start to doubt the pistons, they were the same team who smoothly closed out magic 4-0 and went 3-0 on bulls easily, so for you to start questioning them now, that just tells me how little you know.you're right about the pistons not playing at their level, the fact is if they are to come ahead at the end of this when they face SA in the finals, they'r going to have to play consistently, and the win that they GAVE to the bulls shows how inconsistent and prone to disfunction the pistons can be.

the religion anyone of us practices is going to come to him or her by way of someone else so there is always room for errors. among the muslims you find such a wide differences and contradictions.
am sure there are groups that can convincingly argue that women and men are equal is all ways.
it would be interesting if someone can post here a believe or idea that was widely held by muslims in the past that's considered to be blasphemes now.
also, if those two hadiths about women were to be views as lacking, what would that mean for other hadiths found in similar sources?
naden, you made the point that some people may gain benefit from perpetuating believe in these hediths; its a fact that powers that be invest greatly to influence the believes people hold and I can see why some may seek to preempt the possibility of a woman gaining authority by claiming that its unislamic. but that claim that ‘special interests’ push certain believes can be put forth regarding any believe.

Originally posted by Elysian:As long as the medication, treatment, implantation does not alter the individuals’ personality I don't see what the problem is?It’s interesting that you mention medication in this context.
When I think of a cyborgs I think of mechanical modifications to the body. At this point mechanical modifications to the body are for the most part limited to prosthetics, discs, cosmetic implants and such. They have little or no direct impact on the mind and personalities of the people that get them.
On the other hand, a large number of people use medications that have profound impact on the mind and personality.
it's interesting that people are taken a back by mechanical modifications to the body but are dismissive of the ubiquitous and profound modification many of us make to our mind and personality through the use of drugs. Aren’t we already chemical-borgs?

I guess we know which clan the TFG (ie Yeey, Gedi & Gaal) will target next.

Alot of people think Hoya won the fight. But mayweather landed more punches.
Mayweather talks trash, lots of it, and it's true he hasn't been through any hard fights. But thats because he avoids getting hit. He really uses his speed. If he let people hit him then he wouldn't stay "Pretty Boy Floyd".

The SNM, SSA, SSDF, USC, SNF, RRA, JVA, et al have the same manifesto. It's the menifesto of all the Somali armed movements and it's "ka cun amo ka ciiday"; also known as "no one can rules unless they're from my clan".
Don't waste your time reading anything they write, just look at their actions.

"Mayweather's strengths?He is fast and elusive afoot.
He possesses terrific hand speed and accuracy.
His quickness in moving and punching does not diminish as the fight wears on. He can sustain his energy and pace for 12 rounds."
that's what did it. man, that boy is fast. it's a crime to be that fast
mayweathe made no mistakes. he kept de la hoya away with left jabs and made use of his speed to keep out of trouble.
mayweather won almost every round, he did not throw nearly as many punches as de la hoya yet he landed more and a higher percentage.
what a fight!

Jackson was on fire. the man was red hot! How many 3’s did he hit? Man, everything came together for the Warriors last night.
What the heck went wrong with Dirk? Talk about collapsing under pressure.
In the Jazz v. Rockets it was clear Jazz was gonna win. I was getting tried of watching them and I can’t foresee myself watching game 7th.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A gang stripped a South African man before supergluing him to an exercise bicycle while they ransacked his house, according to a report Thursday.
SAPA news agency said the attackers, dressed in suits, hijacked a man in his 50s and forced him at gunpoint to take them to his home in Johannesburg.
"The victim was then forced to strip, after which he was superglued to the seat of an exercise bicycle, his hands were superglued, as were his feet and then his mouth was superglued shut," SAPA quoted Mark Stokoe, a spokesman for emergency services Netcare 911, as saying.
The man was rescued about three hours later when his partner arrived home, SAPA said.
South Africa is battling one of the world's highest crime rates which has prompted concerns that violence might mar the 2010 soccer World Cup, which the country is due to host.
A police spokesman could not immediately comment on the report. No one at Netcare 911 could be reached.

After watching the PBS NOVA special “Newton’s Dark Secrets”, I was surprised to learn that Isaac Newton probably spent more time doing Alchemy then he did doing Science experiments. Of course it was probably all the same to him. But a lot of the work that he apparently spent most of his time on would be considered pseudoscience today.

^^The million dollar question.
And it has a million answers. The first step to solving a problem is asking the right question. Maybe the question isn't "where to draw the line" but who should decide where to draw the line.
Some people will tell you that God should decide and others that the State should decide and others will say skilled professionals and doctors. I think the best place for the decision is the consumer (or patient).
If someone wants to have a RFID implanted in him; let him... do whatever, it's your body.
but when the government wants to implant them in it's citizens, then we start running into problems.
But then again, what about forced drug use... as in vaccines. Governments force people to use vaccines to protect the population against disease, why shouldn't they be allowed to force people to have RFID chips implanted to protect us against crime?
