Pace is the Trick

Chloius where are you?

Chellius, you're right. I forgot that I didnt think much of rednecks. But the dressing example is more like I suppose applies to Malaysians as well. The extreme example being the rednecks. Anywhoo codename ben didnt give me a proper answer. Only that they dont really have a restriction.

I've always thought they did coz some extremist Christians claim modest dressing just like how extremist Muslims feel you must wear a burkha. So I thought that it would be there because of the 7 sins and  fight against evil, lustful desires and the like.
I kinda assumed it was an explanation designed to protect the rights of ben.

And the fact that you dont really see nuns wearing short stuffs. No pants either btw. What about underpants? I wonder if that guy's wife wears underpants. Strictly speaking they're just really puny pants.

It's quite a funny article. I didnt know in something that's supposed to be "factual" can drop name bombs like "Hippies". Like they're a particular race or something....

It's got tons of similarities to how some Muslims see it tho. Like why you put on makeup or how long or tight your skirt is. The restriction to dressing like the other sex is also mentioned in the Quran. Although I think in today's world, pants is also considered clothes for women. When you think about it the Arab men also wore/wear long robes like women... It could be to mean "...that makes one look like the other". At least that is how I see it.
For example, those Korean boy bands, by gosh they dress in "male clothes" but I swear sometimes I think they're women. Or trying very very hard to be.
And also we're supposed to look at the Quranic meaning according to how it would apply relevantly today.

I found this stand up comedy group called Allah Made Me Funny. I have not watched them yet so I cant say how funny they are exactly but its a pretty cool concept.

I also found this funny write up by Hassan Skodeng (not real name of course) who wrote about how TNB is sueing WWF for Earth Hour, reproduced here. It's satirical of course, that's why they're dragging him to court....people can be so stupid. His blog header should already explain the content but some people cant read and process at the same time.

I cant wait for lunch...
