"Nightclubs have reopened, and in many of them, prostitutes troll for clients."

I'm never going to think about trolls the same way again.

Wow I really feel better about or occupation now... I mean all these years with very limited positive results and now true freedom rings through the Iraq. Your not a free country until you can buy a piece of ass.

Unless you're gay. Then you'll be murdered.

It was definitely better when the religious nutjobs were killing each other.

Now there's an interesting point.
Are there any gloriously liberated Iraqis on Fark?

/I PETA those cockfights won't last long

At first I thought the article would be dumb. But, instead it describes Iraq (or at least Baghdad) before the US invaded. So, I like the article.

I'd rather blow a stranger than say that.

Oh hay

crab66: Meh, that happens here in the USA to...so let's not judge.

I bet not nearly as often. We have issues with gay people, but not that much.

From the article:

"It's a psychological problem in any case. Arresting people and putting them in jail isn't going to change anything," he added.

It's only been 20 years or so since homosexuality was seen as a psychological problem, so they're perhaps not as far behind the enlightened USA as you might believe.

Also, you might want to speak to a few gay people in the US to see what it's like. I'm not sure many people get beaten up in the streets or abused at work for being straight.

I like the cut of this man's jib. Good thing he didn't give his name or he'd be dead already.

Sun God: At first I thought the article would be dumb. But, instead it describes Iraq (or at least Baghdad) before the US invaded. So, I like the article.

Um, it was mostly about it getting back to where it was before the invasion. At least the roughly 50% that my attention span allowed me to read.

/heylookitssomethingshiny!

Never mind sin, what about taking the tangent to the area under her curves?

At least now the blow 'n go means what you think it means.

Oh. Gotcha. I thought most Farkers had just reached drinking age.

$150 a week is a lot to the Iraqis?! If I were an Iraqi I'd be able consider myself lower middle class! I could go for that kind of status upgrade.

/Not joking.
//Makes $150-ish/week

I remember reading an article about Iraq pre-invasion, particularly about Christian Iraqis pre-invasion. They were allowed to have beauty parlors, and to sell alcohol, and I believe Saddam even let Easter services be broadcast on TV. Granted, it still kind of sucked for them - lots of Iraqi Christians immigrated to my hometown even before 2003. I had a interesting conversation with one woman whose family fled Saddam about why she supported McCain.

Anyhow, after the invasion, anyone who gave haircuts or sold alcohol either closed up shop or had constant threats, some of which were fulfilled.

So, yeah, I'd say this is some kind of progress.

Some kind of.

By the way, "kind of" means different things to me when I'm kind of tipsy. "kind of sucked" = really freaking sucked for some of the families, especially if they had money. "kind of progress" = well, it's something, but, um, not the greatest and not all of it is progress...

Or we could have a president who never admits fault, ever, alienating allies and emboldening enemies in the process.

If you think apologizing for wrongdoing makes you a wimp... well, that's not a sign of maturity.

You need to grow up, troll.

You know you've come along way when you can have a bunch of Cocks go at it.

Yeah. I think being gay or a woman from the middle east should just automatically grant you refugee status in North America. I wouldn't even mind my tax dollars paying for their plane tickets.

We didn't even like giving refugee status to Iraqis who helped out American troops, as translators and the like, even as their lives and the lives of their family were threatened.

I would kind of agree with that, but if we can't even protect the folks who risk their lives to help us out (granted, for a paycheck, but still, under the constant real threat for their lives)... well, we really need to catch up, that's all.

No, it's from the 7-parts mini-series 'Generation Kill'.
If you haven't seen it yet, it's a very realistic depiction of the iraq war seen from a bunch of marines POW

It would be a good idea in america too. Legalize prostitution, ban jesusfreakery.

You must be thinking of Afghanistan. Most Iraqi men have short hair and are clean shaven (mustaches are almost obligitory). Also, getting alcohol has never, I repeat never, been a problem in Iraq. Most of the drivers at checkpoints that gave us problems were drunk off their asses.

Generation Kill was really good. I wish it had been longer.

We didn't even like giving refugee status to Iraqis who helped out American troops, as translators and the like, even as their lives and the lives of their family were threatened.

One of our translators and his brother live in Knoxville, Tennessee. Own a house and everything. Some of the translators couldn't get the kind of background check that is required to send them to our country. There's a reason for that. Some of those same translators are sitting in prison because they were working for the bad guys.

Democracy, whiskey, sexy.

It is a long way from Sodom and Gomorrah, but perhaps part way back to the old Baghdad. The Baathists who ruled here from the 1960s until the American invasion in 2003 were secular, and more than a little sinful.

WHEEE!

Can I has bath party?

"If this security continues," Farat Brahim said, "within a year all the waiters will be girls."

/hopefully they will have the common sense to import some girls for the first few years

I heard all of those Iraqi hookers have sand in their vaginas.

Some idiot who will inevitably say this while smoking a pipe and looking smug: Well, you know, under Saddam Hussein, women actually had more rights than anywhere else in the Middle-East.

Nice talking point, but that's not actually true. Yes, while the Baathist reforms regarding women's rights were indeed advanced compared to most of the Middle-East, the fact is that the 1956 Tunisian reforms of civil rights, along with Turkey's 1926 civil code and the Iranian Shah's family laws went further.

The Baathist reforms took an even worse slid back when, in order to appeal to the fundamentalist, Saddam actually legalized honor killings, something which is still a (slight) offense in the vast majority of the Middle-East and punishable under law (though sometimes/often ignored depending on the countries).



/in other news, it's good to see that life in Baghdad is getting better.

Yeah, right, in 5-10 years, when Iraq is taking off as the next Dubai, Farkers will still be whining about horribly immoral the Iraq liberation was....
