would you ever go to the middle east?

Boondock · 12-10-2005, 09:50 PM

war over. before the war. no war. whatever?
the middle east is one of the entire regions that i would never go. the place is a shit hole. pakistan, iran, iraq, lebanon, egypt, isreal. all of it.
don't you think it's a hole? they have a booming cell phone and internet market but it's pure shit.
one of the several places on the planet spreading nothing but crap. they are mostly poor countries. a large part of it is all about that petrol

Boondock · 12-10-2005, 09:51 PM

maybe it sounds harsh but whatever. i can't imagine why anyone would go there unless they are a troop and ordered to go.
total shit

I would go to Egypt to see the pyramids and shit, but that looks like it is never going to happen. The rest of the places over there, they can keep.

Boondock · 12-10-2005, 09:55 PM

the pyramids are about the only thing that most can agree on. that would be a site. the people, the economy, the rules, the culture, the food. the every fuckin thing sucks about it.

they do fork over some pretty bad ass doctors. my pain doc is from india, my old pain doc was from there and 1 of my sufgeons were from that way.

I have visited Egypt via Google Earth.... And that's as close as I think I wanna get.

Tasha · 12-10-2005, 09:59 PM

Yeah. I'd visit it...just for the fuck of it.

Boondock · 12-10-2005, 10:00 PM

no doubt. it seems like every time you can find something about that place that totally throws you off you think of something else.
i think all the religion if you could call it that would frek me out too.
in some places they pray a few times a day. they have arrows everywhere pointing to some holy city. some places the women wear all black. some places they walk like 5 feet behind the husband. even the males wear that head to toe toga towelhead shit.
some places guys can have like 4 wives at a time. just fuckin strango shit. you have some places that are like dessert battlegrounds with people walking the streets armed.

fuck that place man.

why? what would you be trying to accomplish?

smoke_the_dank · 12-10-2005, 10:01 PM

I didnt think India was considered the middle east...

Id go over there to kill some people, but thats it.

Tasha · 12-10-2005, 10:03 PM

meh, the cradle of civilization boon.

Gotta know your roots.

Boondock · 12-10-2005, 10:04 PM

dank this is what the wiki calls it but they say that there are several definitions of the middle east

Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, Turkey, Iran (Persia), Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

what are you saying? that is where people came from?

shit man. my ancestors and my wifes ancestors came over to the states, really new york in the early 1800's from ireland. thats as far back as i need to go. who cares about a couple thousand years ago?

smoke_the_dank · 12-10-2005, 10:08 PM

Its fucked up that that region bogs down the rest of civilization.

the even shittier thing is, we have to be the saudi's butt buddy cause we depend on their oil...

after seeing the first beheading, I seriously hate the Hodgies with a fuckin passion.
I cant even think about it too much, or Ill end up enlisted in the Marines.

Tasha · 12-10-2005, 10:12 PM

Naw.

I'd stay in Dubai in the UAE.

It's a big european tourist destination.

Boondock · 12-10-2005, 10:16 PM

we do suck ass for that oil. there is only a limited supply and more is being used every day. the people that control it have the power.

Boondock · 12-10-2005, 10:21 PM

think maybe we shouldn't have placed all our chips on oil? i don't mean just the states. the whole world is so dependent on oil. not just for gas and motor oil type stuff. that is just a fraction of what crude oil is used for

Chongers · 12-10-2005, 10:55 PM

whatsup?

JamaicanHerb · 12-10-2005, 11:26 PM

i'd go to piss on it....

Yeah this is the thing that keeps them in the stone age. Praying while pointing to Meca!! BWHaaaaaa! They should be pointing at oil wells, cause it is those wells that make the area and it's people relevent. Without the oil, the areas chief export would be hourglasses.

Now, when you think about that last statement, it begins to make sense of how they treat their women. I mean imagine having 4 or 5 wives and having to treat them the way we in America treat our wives. Any normal guy would put a bullet in his own head in a few weeks.

I find that treating women like animals, as a race, as a religion, as anything, is embarassing. Women deserve more respect than that and giving them respect does not diminish your manhood.
