Quote from: Annual Regatta and Seafood Fair on November 19, 2012, 03:45:43 PMThe middle east is extremely materialistic. A buddy of mine got back from living in Doha for a year, where there is a major case of affluenza affecting most of the middle class. Men make a big deal out of the sort of watch you wear, more so then any other piece of jewelery, often spending thousands on one simply to keep pace with their peers. It's common to disclose and brag about the amount of money you make, and to buy a lot of gaudy shit for your wife. Another good point. But then why does Western society think that reason that the East is being held back economically is because of their "religious fanaticism"?

Because religion is a la carte for most people of faith. They follow some aspects, but ignore others.The funniest thing is when a rapper wins an award and thanks God when the music that person makes is about idolizing things, fornication and other sinful acts.
Thanks...I'd like to thank God for giving me the strength to rap about raping young ladies in the asshole.
