I assume that you are an Arab.

If you are not, then you are an Arab stooge. Laughing

If the rich Arabs are not spending enough to educate their brethren, where would you stand to gain?

According to the Arab world view, everything is a conspiracy. Everyone is always plotting against them. But for the Arab world, that is not necessarily a negative because it means that nothing is their fault.

In August 2005, the residents of the Palestinian city Jenin attempted to break the world record for the largest sandwich. The record held by Portugal is for a sandwich 634m long.

The people of Jenin planned on making their sandwich 750m long with 180kgs of meat and 600kgs of vegetables.

In the end, fearful of spoiled rotting meat, the Palestinian Department of Health cancelled the venture citing the sweltering summer heat.

We were planning to add the meat and stuffing at the last minute to rule out any possibility of rotting, chef and sandwich organizer Ahmed Nazzal told Reuters.There must be a conspiracy against us by other competitors.

If you understand the Arab world, you understand the response. It was classic.

goes to show how brainwashed you're. who the f*** determined what's bigger or not? and IF you say there's nothing wrong with men going topless AND that men and women are equal and deserve same rights, why BY YOUR LOGIC can women NOT go topless in public like men? your logic fails ms feminist.

Or are you too busy being chauvanistic to your poor mother and other women? I pity your daughters then.

hey you sl***** fu****** m********* B****** s8s8****** shut the f**** up dont you ever bring any of my relatives into this discussion, i didn't drag any of your relatives into this discussion you s***** so***** ha8**** wh****

if you've to say something to me, say it to myself only. dont drag others into the picture. I dont drag your relatives into the picture.

You can't argue so you call me an anglophone sucker etc. Oh hey anyone who doesn't agree with you becomes an anglophone sucker of some sorts.

not really. only those anglophone co.ck.su.ckers that actually are that i refer to as anglophone's coc.k.su.ckers. eg you and other singaporeans who've been taught english manners, customs, traditions, laws, sports, music entertainment fashion AND MORALITY so you wont transcend anglophone "morality" of women covering their b0obs in public but will transcend all others as anglophones do so!

Go look at Malaysia lah. Malaysia , being a muslim country , at least gives more rights to women than your precious Saudi Arabia.

[/b]

first stop speaking singlish it's gross and repulsive. second, malaysia has no place in this discussion.

fymk SG

Oh Malaysia has all the place in the discussion. It was a british colony like Singapore. Why don't we hear you ragging about how anglophone it is?

LOL insults insults. Why ? If you want to wear the proud badge of male chauvanism - wear it proudly and do what you like to preach - suppressing the rights of women - the gender which includes your mother and your sisters and your daughters if you have any.

Spartans SG

FYI, Singapore is immersed in both the Western and Asian cultures. We are by no mean any anglophone wannabe. Please get your idea clear.

There are time when I did disagree with the policies of the Western worlds. Eg invasion of Iraq by Americans and British. Collateral damage and loss of innocent civilians' lives in the name of fighting terrorism.

You just can't admit that you're born losers in singapore who're used to licking uk's bums clean and savour it.

that's because uk expressly forbid you to admit this. otherwise you'd have done this, as during the officially colonial era.

Canada? Anglophone? Hmmm... Don't they speak French in Quebec?

And your vulgar statement on the posterior is exactly what's the problem here.

English is widely spoken in India today, partly because they were a British colony. Does that make them any less independent or sovereign?

I've already told u... U don't know the difference between legacy and sovereignty.

And take your bum licking fetish elsewhere.

protonhybrid SG

again talking nonsense as usual? applying random terms like male chauvinism or women's rights aren't going to change facts. fact is you THINK women should be given certain rights (but not men or children, among others) all around the world and IF you had your way you would ENFORCE them all around the world EXACTLY THE WAY YOU THINK IT"S RIGHT. that's fanaticism, fascism my friend.

well mate you again made a complete fool out of yourself, the underlined portion is nowhere to be found in the original article. Mr. Green

for reference this is the article

Jenin wants world sandwich record
Last Updated: Friday, 12 August 2005, 11:27 GMT 12:27 UK

Organisers have pledged to rebuild their sandwich away from the sun
Palestinian bakers thwarted in an attempt to build the world's longest sandwich have vowed to try again.
Plans to construct a 750-metre long sandwich along a roadside in the West Bank town of Jenin were vetoed by Palestinian Authority health officials.

They judged that 180kg of meat, as well as vast quantities of vegetables, might rot in the hot sun.

Organisers say they will set another date to make an attempt on the record - but this time in the shade.

Local officials in Jenin had joined forces with bakers and food suppliers in an effort to break the current record of 634 metres, set in Portugal in 2004.

Health fears

"Jenin is well known for fighting the Israeli occupation, and we wanted to give a civilised view of the city," project manager Samir Abu al-Rub told the Reuters news agency.

Jenin has become known for violent clashes in recent years

Fears that the sweltering summer sun could spoil the supplies of sandwich fillings convinced organisers to prepare their baguettes in advance.

But a mere 10 minutes under the burning sun turned the freshly-baked baguettes rock hard.

Visiting health officials banned the bakers from filling the sandwich, citing concerns for public health.

There were plans to hand the sandwich out to the city's poor after sealing the record.

"We were planning to add the [meat] and stuffing at the last minute to rule out any possibility of rotting," chef Ahmed Nazzal told Reuters, hinting that rival food suppliers might have lodged a complaint with health officials.

well it's good that you follow your 'master anglophone's' advice of showing 'dissent' as a form of free speech, dissent which amounts to nothing. afaik, singapore DID support usa/uk's illegal actions of invasion murder kilings lootings etc in iraq in 2003.

also can you tell me why is it that singapore's law, healthcare, education, science, technology, music, entertainment, sports, favourite choice for migration for living and studying among others are primarily anglophone countries or based on their ones? oh yes the military, romance, concept of 'rights', ?

yet same singapore has no free speech, no democracy (real one, not phony one as practiced by LKY) exercises racial, religious, linguistic, ethnic, cultural, national, etc etc etc discrimination on a regular and common basis (yet it has the gall to point fingers at its neighbours for no good reasons).

protonhybrid SG

english is spoken by a mere 5% of indians at most, however you're correct english is official language of india that's because they were a british colony much like singapore. no it doesn't make india less independent than singapore, but a british colony in disguise nonetheless.
my friend, b.um licking fetish is a peculiarity of singaporeans and other british colonies, i'm not one of them.

googoomuck SG

Laughing Haha....got you ! Just because you cannot find in the article does not mean that what I wrote is not true. Did you search Reuters news in the net?

When you can't catch a fish does it mean there's no fish in the water?

Can't stop you from calling me a fool... BUT...you are the BIGGER FOOL...kekeke Laughing

Reuters

Palestinians abandoned a quest to build the world's longest sandwich on Wednesday after health officials told them their 750-metre construction risked rotting in the West Bank summer sun.

Hundreds of volunteers spread a 750-metre-long bun on tables along a dusty roadside in the West Bank city of Jenin, long a hotspot of Israeli-Palestinian violence.

But the attempt was called off for health reasons before volunteers got a chance to add 180 kg of mortadella meat, 350 kg of tomatoes and 250 kg of green peppers.

Organisers had planned to serve the sandwich to the poor, and said they were aiming to beat a record set in Portugal in 2004 for a 634-metre sandwich.

"We were planning to add the mortadella and stuffing at the last minute to rule out any possibility of the sandwich rotting in summer sun," chef Ahmad Nazzal said.

"There must be a conspiracy against us by other competitors," he said.

I'm not your friend and i tire of your senseless tirades.

If u are already convinced that this is a fawning colony that worships western imperialism, then who am I to argue with your "facts" ? Laughing

You are certainly entitled to your own views, no matter how skewed and absurd.

googoomuck SG

More worthy news from Saudi Arabia. It doesn't matter if you share the same religion.

It's dangerous to work there. You'll never get the same 'fair' treatment accorded to Arabs.

How would a woman given the right to drive a car without a need for a male companion , affect the rights of men or children? How would a woman given the right to freely choose who she wants to marry, affect the rights of men or children?

If I had my way, all women can choose their mates, all women can drive a car without a need for a male companion provided they pass the driving test. How exactly is that fascism?

You are the one sprouting nonsense .

British laws were once inhumane . A bit of thieving by a young child would get him exiled to Australia easily. The world has progressed with the notion of human rights. The first true human rights document itself came from ancient persia.

So how would any human rights be an anglophone thing?

malaysia has all the place in this discussion since you like to hammer Singapore as some anglophone place just because it is a former colony.

Even Indonesia stopped its exports of domestic maids to Saudi Arabia at one stage because of a maid who had gangrene and had to amputate her fingers. Indonesia anglophone? I think not.

phil30k SG

I got to page 5 before I stopped reading to post this.

Fymk, it is obvious to me that you are very upset by the incident. I can understand that. As a woman you emphathize with the victim and coming from a different culture with different social norms, you are horrified by the treatment she received, as am I.

However, whether you agree with the law or not, posting here will not change the fact that it is the law there and the victim broke it.

This in no way subtracts from the horror she has suffered, the pain, the humiliation and a ruined life.

I'd suggest sending a donation to the women's group that are fighting for women's rights there. It's a greater step towards change then continuing an argument in this forum.

Best wishes
