Let Me Count the Ways I Love You

Beej Bihari was standing in front of the mirror with his eyes closed.
His wife asked what you are doing?
Beej said, "I am looking at the mirror to find out how do I look like while sleeping."

In #106... suggesting that I mean that women need greater legal protection than men is simply BS and ignores the contextual structure based on which I was stating it....

Not to mention the fact that I dismissed the protection business in my earlier post on another thread to Urstruly, which was then picked up by this plagiarist Kulharee and he turns it around and uses it on the person who first stated it here. Talk about dishonest morons....

Beej Bihari's wish :when I die, I would like to die like my grandpa Bihari who died peacefuly in his sleep not screaming like all the passengers in
the Bus he was driving..

I rest my case and with that I declare victory over the hypocrites and the ignorant bigots like Qutabshahi....

Hamid writes "you have the makings of a fine polygamist if you can ever get within ten feet of a living breathing woman ........ "

Au contraire my ignorant acquaintance, women find me quite attractive....simply because most so-called macho men (unlike myself) happen to be jerks.

Kulharee writes "A value judgment? You better believe it. Otherwise why bother to argue against it? Masadi Sahib are you suggesting that the country where it is outlawed has placed women to a lower totem?"

If you are using value judgments in order to analyze a phenomenon then you bias the evaluation and reach something other than the truth. Yes I am suggesting through evidence that countries that have outlawed polygamy are hypocritical and by outlawing it, they have placed women at greater risk of being exploited because the underlying structure hasn't changed. You BS attempt at suggesting that I mean that women need greater legal protection than men is simply BS and ignores the contextual structure based on which I was stating it. The fact that your model society concentrates poverty among single women with children (the feminization of poverty) bears witness to the fact that without legal protection (when the man absconds) women become poor and extremely poor in a capitalist/patriarchal society like the US and might I add much worse than in Saudi Arabia- is there any comparison on living without food and shelter to "not being able to drive". Please say that you hold both to be equal, so I can conclude that you're a damn fool

Re: # 99

kulharee mian,

.... i don't know anbout the rest of it, but i had a full bath built in the basement which i claim as my own and that's where is do most of my serious reading and thinking ...... sometimes i just stand there looking at a picture of venetian canals and then walk away without putting the seat down ....... allah is great and life is good ........

.... but life could be better if i could emulate my grandpa khan baba who had two houses, two wives, two bedrooms and a bathroom to spare ..... my grandmas lived across the street from each other on gurdat singh road in quetta and they got along great even though my grandma ama bibi was twenty years younger than baju gul ..... ama bibi married khan baba when she was thirteen (or eleven, depending on who you believe) and she was the happiest woman i have ever met ........ khan baba was even happier !

..... i think you are being awfully mean and bigoted by calling for a ban on polygamy - stop acting like that homophobe judge scalia ..........

Re: # 102

Sir, that's a relatively easy problem to address. Apparently, you are still resisting the solution that stares so starkly in your face and has always been there.

You need to learn to do things in a different way -- the new way!

You need to learn some new habits (tidiness, for example) and discard some old ones (laziness, for example)!

You need to be able to listen attentively (with the TV set off) and should have the quickness to agree immediately!

You need to develop tolerance for viewpoints that differ from yours. You need to realize that turning 180 degrees is not as difficult as it is made out to be.

You need to have the strength of character to admit when you are wrong, as you invariably will be.

You need to appreciate good cooking and you need to realize that all cooking is good cooking.

What I am preaching to you is that you need to learn to submit to the will of the all mighty!

In case of polygamy, of course, you have to also do all of the above for all those partners and reconcile your various acts with each other -- clearly, not everyone's forte.

Re: # 101

You sick old man. Get out, you stink with your rotten intelligentsia and boring sense of humour. Even your grand children have dumped you.

Beej Sahib, you probably have a nice size bathroom where not every single inch of the sink space has been taken by your sopuse. And oh yeah, the putting the seat down debate.

Re: # 97

Jojeya dear, I must say that your specimen of...

[Sex and marriage. Whats the fuckin relationship with love???]

... is the finest example of a question that answers itself, so eloquently too! Bravo.

Re: # 99

Sir, I would be the last person to intrude upon your fantasy world but the idea of a couple having seprate bathrooms makes as much sense as the same having separate bedrooms.

Re#90 Hamid Sahib. I would like to live in a non polygamous society. One woman for every man and one man for every woman. Nice house with two car garage, his and her own walk-in closet (oh the dreamer in me), his and her separate bath room ( no such luck).

Is that too much to ask?

Re: # 96

Thanks Feroz. Makes sense. Any inquisitive mind would like to explore such questions... these are kinda xenos paradox

Baba ji, koi kaam ki baat hai tu karen warna rasta naapeen. Chaltey baney. Go play with ur grand children

Re: #94

When I submitted the article, I titled it “Let me count the ways I love YOUS� it was a play on a very famous poem of Elizabeth Browning, an early 19th century English poet. Her work has inspired many. I think the Chowk Staff inadvertently thought that I misspelled YOU as YOUS and they took the S off or may be ran my work through a spellchecker. This is how I know to mock a practice, but I can see your point. YOUS sounds so much better when discussing polygamy. I think.

Re: # 94

Jojeya, I am sure the somebody here would like to explain the relationship to you but s/he may get into trouble because of your status as a minor in age.
