What good have modernity done for us? Have we (human race) become more civilized?Modernity helped us to invent cures for different diseases, but it also created Cancer, HIV, Bird Flu, Mad Cow, Bo lowyooh, Khaz Baz.....ect
Modernity helped us beat distance with cars, trains, and airplanes, but it screwed the planet from behind and within 2-3 generations Planet Earth will be Planet Wast Land. Trust me it won't be as pretty as T.S. Elliot's poem and you'll not gonna be driving your Cayeen or yakht to anywhere nice.
Modern thinkers created Democracy and Human rights Hoooorraaay...All humans will live in justice. But wait the presumably most democratic country and the world's claimed Human Right's defender is the US and it has caused only recently more death and destruction than the bad deeds acheived by Bin Laden, Stalen, Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Dr Evil, Grandayzaar, Jongar, Mr Freez, Qathafi, Khomainy, Nabba6at Bosamra, om 9achmat 7ammod....ect all combined.
You might say Americans are fakes, but Europeans are for real. Modernity is the product of Europe a9lan - you might say this while chewing 3elch boga6u elly ree7taa khaysaa- and if your looking for democracy you should be talking about Europe. Come on guys. We all know it. EUROPE STLL STINKS RACISM (no generalization meant here). The Jews learned that before us and from a quick look at European governments' new policies concerning Muslims in their countries and the statments' of Pope Abendectictactoc XIV (Allah yer7aam ayamm John Paul bo sa3bola) I think another Holocaust (Yes, it's a Spa) is gonna take place in Europe and Muslims will be invited there for a WARM dialogue of civilizations.
Back to modernity, yes ....Modern thinkers came up with feminisim....Yaaaaaay....Chicks now can kick boys' ass with some smart, sassy talks about how uncivilized men seek to oppress women and how chicks should GET UP STAND UP (up and really, reaaaaally high) to make men lie on their bellies when having sex with their female partners. Some men liked the idea...why no6? Feminisim is sexy for some men because they would like to try how it feels to be spanked.
Unfortunetly, 13 % of Human females, who came up with the idea and fostered it were too high too implement it. 25 % were jelous because the idea was not theirs, so they decided to dub feminists Godless Bitches. 38 % were married and were too busy raising their kids and making sure that their husbands were not cheating on them. 29 % are still arguin about the definition of feminism (I actually heard a nice lady saying that feminism is the religion for HM Madonna's worshippers.) and 80 % are busy looking for Mr. Whoever, who will make them hate sex and metamorph to heartless FemiNazzis.
Modernism, modernity, Mo6ern, Mo-dren-dren (ettarik or etdig heren), call it whatever you want it's a fucking bad practical joke (Ashkara Dagga). If we are now modern creatures living a modern life with better standards and more civilized concepts and relationships how come men still dominate every fucking aspect of this world. Let's examine the mating system in modern life as it is the most basic male-female relationship:
From my personal experience (nothing scientific), I know that alotta women -both eastern and western- feel more attracted to stronger men. Alotta of them also would like to see their men's power/authority practiced in their relationships as a proof of this claimed power. Why?
Jumping from personal experience to science, I'd like to mention that stronger male mammals mate with more females. In more common words, stronger male mammals get laid more often. That had been scientifically proven as I was told in an 'animal behavior' class back in college.
Biologists also say that female Mammals are more attracted to stronger males because they could provide them with security/protection, especially when they're parenting. One strategy practiced by male mammals to attract females is bluffing. Several studies found out that actually males mammals with better bluffing skills get more Pu#*y than others, which tells me that females do buy the stupid male bluffing.
Moreover, accordin to uncle Darwin humans are mammals. I'm convinced that alotta women (no generalization being made) feel safer when their partners push them around. As I earlier said, it is proof -be it real or false- of their men's power and ability to protect them and their kids. Let me make another personal note: In all of the gay/lesbian couples I encountered during my college years, one of the partners would be the bossy/strong and the other partner enjoyed being pushed around. It tells me something about relationships' dynamics in our civilized era.
You may plausibly argue that we are not mere mammals, but we are unique, articulate human beings who create laws and negotiate to acheive peace. I would argue back that this is an illusion. According to a statistic published in the Sept/Oct 2006 issue of Foreign Affairs journal, the latest centurey was the bloodiest ever. Hulaku's era sounds like a fary tale, compared to the warfare and killings we (human beings) have committed during our "civilized" era.
In conclusion (phew finally), I think I'm an employed mammal in an age that proves that evolution has been heading toward a more barbaric human population and I miss writing college papers. If i make it to next post, we'll do some post-modernism, which could be very sexy.

Ghishait min ilthi7k when i read khaz baz and bulwyooh hahahahaha...
I will have to agree with everything u said, but it pains me to agree with what u said in the end about females digging the stronger males...i never felt a fancy towards the 'weaklings' i must say....but then again i dont like 'weak' females either....hmmmm....madry..i need my post-f6oor nap to think straight...
O b3dain ta3al...inta shlon 6i7t 3ela the www. thing? How'd u even notice?

qatqota...You're confusing me for another person. I'm not 7akeem..He is the Egyptian guy who sings Assalamo 3alaikom...I'm the guy who never sings in public fearing la an7ithif.
Wow... I'm surprised u don't have more comments with a post like that...
I like ur writing style. I don't agree with everything u said, but I like ur I-don't-give-a-fuck-what-people-think prose. Its very refreshing.
Not a lot of people can manage to be sincere and humorous at the same time, but somehow you pulled it off.
The last line is the best part of the post ib 9ara7a.. :P
Krispy...thanks for the compliments. I am extremely flattered.
As for commentators, ebthimmitich how many fellow bloggers lehem khilg yegron post ha66ol. Really few "mithlich o sharwach ya Sheikhaa"
Thanks for commenting really. Hope I'll see your comments more often in my blog. Devil Finches like to have compliments thrown at them after all. Cheers.
"Nor has the Devil-Finch disturbed
anyone excepting how a phone not ringing reveals loneliness is disturbing..."
I read that online today and thought of you.
dixie...Three years ago, I took a Creative Writing class in college. I googled my teacher's name and found out that she wrote the Devil Finch poem. Robyn Schiff was actually my teacher.
I've been in love with the Devil Finch poem since then and until I've become to be a Devil Finch myself. Truley a great great poem written by a great poet, who I had a crush for.
You are so lucky.. you have no idea how much I wish i could be in the vicinity of my favorite author, much less in a class of theirs...
I like the poem as well..
"You woke out of dream breathless and flushed, as if pursued for hours.."
her writing is so eloquent, so beautifully melancholy...
Have you read "Worth"?
Dixie...Yes, Worth is a great book, especially if you like fashion and poetry. It's an original book that I enjoyed reading. Most of it is about fashion coutiers, but you can also find different poems such as Devil Finch. Yet, all of the poems are about wanting to obtain objects.
sounds nice. I read snippets of it in a review. The critic who reviewed it said it was a good read.
damn, I just put in an Amazon order... wallah bifalsoony hathol! :/
Finchy....is it Ibn Sina?
:P
LOL
Im not too good with arabic history
emmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
DR...Ebthimmitich emtab3aa el maw'6ooo3???!

Just when I thought there wasn't any male blogger to move me/impress me...I am in awww...:)...Loved your post...love a deep thinker with a sense of humour...love a man who loves poetry...but alas...you're only be out from college three years ago..and my love is doomed from the start....Krispy darling..do pursue...he definately is a pisces charmer...;)

Krispy...HE'S WHAT??? Oh dear...how typical...just when you thought this one was gonna be different...turns out he's taken...crap! Well..we wish him all the best...I'd insist you find out if he's got a brother...but experience tells me that there's usually only one deep thinker in one family..hhmm...a cousin maybe?..:)
devil..rephrasing..reshmazing...aint no point now..:)
L O L COSMO!!!!!
Finchy: I really have to know ur name now :/ im curious!
DR..."elly yis'al maytoohsh" and hopfully you'll get lost with your curiousity as I really want to protect my anonimouty :P
Very interesting, at last someone whose as pessimistic as I am.
Keep it this way...
I can't wait for the next post.
P.S. We must talk about this post, there's lots to say :)
blue ice ...do NOT mistake me for a pessimistic person....Have you heared about postmodern depression?
Well, it's when a person realizes that the idea of modernity, which he/she conceived as truth is balloony; thus, one feels at ground zero when it comes to ethics system and beliefs.
I should admit that I went through the post-modern deppression phase. Yet, I'm now an optemistic person with a postmodern attitude.
loved your reply to blue ice...cracked me up...you are too funny...I love it...! Care to pass me Promo 7's number and a name of someone in charge there?...
Thanks a million!

Hope it's gonna be of help. Wish you best luck !
Interesting post DF :)
I loved the inclusion of ennebabee6 wel om 9achmat.
I disagree with calling it a practical joke by God, I respect God alot more than to accept that. but otherwise, I do agree that the whole modern-era value system is nothing new. I read in our Organizational Behavior class that currently 47% of US labor is female, while only 11% of women hold managerial and executive positions. and that's a tiny improvement over 8% in 1995.
Entrepreneurship and self-employment also tells us that the % of women who open their own businesses compared to men in the US is 38% of the total. in the UK its even lower at 26%.
The cliche that its a man's world is very true. men are in control no doubt about that, but its not a conspiracy, its in everyone's nature that things turned out this way.
And ofcourse that DEFINITELY doesn't mean men are better than women. we were all designed for different roles. lets just fulfill them already :P
As for looking for a new set of moral values and standards, il7emdella I like the ones that Allah gave us waaaaaay before they stopped treating every sick person like he's possessed and beat the demons out of them.
FS...Thanks alot for your well-composed comment. Sorry if the title offended you, but it was a mere metaphore. I do respect your point of view. However, I think God is too Great to be offended by a weak metaphore improvised by a blogger.
I agree with everything you said, but differ with you on one point: I believe religion and ethics are two separate concepts.
Good to see you here again. Hope you're gonna be a frequent commentator. Cheers.
DF, I suggest you change your settings to show comment dates as well as the time.
also, I define ethics as a set of values for knowing right from wrong, and for me, thats what religion is all about. God tells me I should pray, then that's the right thing to do. It becomes pretty ethical to pray or not to pray. and so on and so forth :)
As for offending God. it doesn't matter wether the offense is small or big, weak or strong. All that I'm careful about is not to be a source of offense. As for whether calling anything a Godly practical joke is an offense or not, I simply refrain from calling God ANYthing that he doesn't call himself. I don't presume to have the freedom to attribute any deed or description that God didn't attribute to Himself.
Ofcourse here I'm totally side-stepping the issue of whether the description in question is a positive or negative one.
Cheers bro :)
Khalas! Maby a3arif :P
Hope u had a nice holiday :>
Just read ur comment on 1001 nights.

Things Kuwaiti, you said? Hell yeah, I was born and raised in Faiha. Went to public schools from Kintergarden till high school. Smoked my first cigs at Faiha's "public gardens," where I also played soccer and had my first crush at 6 hmmm no wait...my first crush went for Mona at "Rawthat Al-6abari." (I hope she reads this)
Bad looking? Maybe, it depends on taste I guess, but I have good feeling about how I look and that doesn't mean I don't need workout :P
The Catch?????
I'm taken and I'm so extremly in love, it might be illegal.
Ten6aggain? noooooo, 3aziza o '3alya plus I'm against violence. I kicked ass and had my ass kicked already at Faiha's gardens.

Mine was A7med or was it 3ali? Hmmm rawthat Sagr IlShbeeb in Qadsiya :P First bf? James & we were 6....and we sat at the back of the class!!!!
