I don&#39;t like writing about controversial topics at all.<br />However, I can&#39;t keep quiet to the onslaught of self-righteous bullshit flying all over the damn place all of a sudden. The only other option I have is to shut up and let this invasive mindset infiltrates and corrupts our diversity (the mistake the average people of the region committed IRL).<br />Freedom of speech, whether through blogging or any other creative medium, is the last stand against a new wave of oppressive and totalitarian attack from an extremist and alien (yes Wahabi Islam is alien to us in the Levant)attack.<br />Had the communists, Americans or Icelanders tried to change who we really are here, I would&#39;ve reacted as hard as I did to push them back and to protect our unique diversity.<br />Thank you for dropping by Bambam.

I used satire to muffle the angry voices in my head. I can&#39;t believe that a young literate man wastes his mental energy on writing such nonsense. That he doesn&#39;t want to &quot;jerk off&quot; is totally understandable. He is free to use or not to use his body anyway he chooses. But to actually promote a campaign to stop masturbation is such a crazy and rediculous idea. Perhaps he thought that we should have &quot;Dickheads&quot; policing bathrooms and invading the privacy of homes to catch, prosecute and perhaps eventually execute offenders. Whatever he was thinking it pains me to know that this mindset still exist anywhere in the world.<br />I love your theme for a Blogging Week. In fact, from a personal perspective it is the closest to what I have in mind.<br />Very inspiring.<br />Thank you as ever for being here.abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-63438950118760741212009-09-09T20:37:12.066+03:002009-09-09T20:37:12.066+03:00Abufares, sorry its taken me so long to comment. I read your post the moment it went up but I was too...wound up...about the &quot;inspiration&quot; for you post to comment without spewing piss and vinegar. Although the humour in your post definitely helped to quell my fire a little, I&#39;m still perturbed. I just can&#39;t believe anything as asinine as a &quot;Campaign Against Masturbation&quot; is getting attention at all - a mention on Global Voices???? OMG! I mean, let&#39;s not waste our time thinking about something that is truly a problem in the world like starvation, violence, war, child labour, etc...lets focus on policing self-pleasuring. Perhaps the blood flow to their brains is somewhat stale. I have an idea...go and jerk off...and maybe, just maybe the invigoration and fresh blood supply will improve their focus (I won&#39;t hope for intelligence). Therefore, my campaign is a counter campaign - &quot;Against Sexual Frustration&quot; - let&#39;s usher in a satisfied, invigorated, bright new world - one hand at a time (or maybe two)! Thank you for allowing me to vent. :)Isobelhttp://suffonsifisms.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-77238718132844823902009-09-09T10:35:33.319+03:002009-09-09T10:35:33.319+03:00@Anonymous <br /><br />When I was young..?<br /><br />The rooms were so much colder then<br />My father was a soldier then<br />And times were very hard<br />When I was young<br /><br />I smoked my first cigarette at ten<br />And for girls, I had a bad yen<br />And I had quite a ball<br />When I was young<br /><br />When I was young, it was more important<br />Pain more painful<br />Laughter much louder<br />Yeah, when I was young<br />When I was young<br /><br />I met my first love at thirteen<br />She was brown and I was pretty green<br />And I learned quite a lot when I was young<br />When I was young<br /><br />When I was young, IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT<br />Pain more painful<br />Laughter much louder<br />Yeah, when I was young<br />When I was young<br /><br />My faith was so much stronger then<br />I believed in fellow men<br />And I was so much older then<br />When I was young<br />When I was young<br />When I was young<br /><br />(The Animals, 1967)abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-75329152233086147492009-09-09T10:29:01.020+03:002009-09-09T10:29:01.020+03:00@Ana Sourie<br />Let&#39;s see what we can come up with on Friday.

I&#39;m lost in a sea of wisdom.<br />With this vast array of splendid and eligible candidates I think that we should all hit the blogsphere simultaneously with various schemes.<br /><br />I just feel like being serious for a moment. Have you (all of you) noticed how the English and Arabic Syrian bloggers are so totally isolated from each other. They exist in separate parallel universes. Every once in a while some one from either side takes a dip into the Realm of the Others, get pissed off about something and blogs about it. A big commotion ensues then the ripples die down and each return to his/her shore safely.<br />We&#39;re talking about apples and oranges here, aren&#39;t we?abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-18309102214676713132009-09-09T10:16:50.406+03:002009-09-09T10:16:50.406+03:00@w.b. yeats<br />Priggs did confuse me you&#39;re right.<br />Now that I&#39;m better informed, I think it&#39;s a fantastic idea to have a Blogging Week Against Energumen Prigs;-)<br /><br />You know I really like it, Prigs and Pricks sound the same.abufareshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05528721595411746558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-8888229034785590052009-09-09T04:02:01.190+03:002009-09-09T04:02:01.190+03:00What about you Abu Fares when you were young?<br />?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-20747792789902828022009-09-09T01:58:47.418+03:002009-09-09T01:58:47.418+03:00My appologies Abu Fares.

I suggest a week of blogging <b>for</b> a noble cause.<br /><br />How about a <b>WBEMT</b> - a Week of Blogging for Education on of Masturbation Techniques? This would enlighten the well-meaning but ill-informed blogger who calls masturbation &quot;nikaa7 al-yad&quot;, thereby ignoring a whole range of approaches which do not require the use of hands.<br /><br />Think of the benefits of the WBEMT:<br />- Our readers&#39; knowledge and vocabulary of will expand (no puns intended.)<br />- Their creativity will increase (no puns either.)<br />- Being positive is a good way to spread your message (no puns, obviously) and to rub it in (believe me, no puns.)<br />- We will win the debate single-handedly (no pu... oh what the hell?)<br /><br />Well?GottfriedStutzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02952310912014125693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-61654126331929275052009-09-08T20:16:47.550+03:002009-09-08T20:16:47.550+03:00Energumen: a person believed to be possessed by the devil or a spirit; fanatic.<br /><br />Prig: a self-righteously moralistic person who behaves as if superior to others.<br /><br />I think I confused you because a miss-spelled Prig <br />: (<br /><br />Anyway... <br /><br />cariños,<br />w.b. yeatsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26866567.post-13575636496695751052009-09-08T17:54:27.005+03:002009-09-08T17:54:27.005+03:00@lê<br /><br />Green Sex indeed.
