Exhibit 1:
Dubbed "Apple Mecca," this glass box happens to resemble the Ka'aba in Mecca because it is cubic. In addition, it is open 24 hours a day, like the Ka'aba. Finally, it serves alcohol. Thus, an outcry from parts of the Muslim community procaliming this an offense to Muslim Dignity, which should be dismantled.Response? Fuck you.
Exhibit 2: Left: Burger King produced an ice cream con
e with a stylistic picture of an ice cream swirl on the lid. Right: The Arabic Symbol for Allah. Because of the outrage and anger over the disrespect to Allah and Muslims, Burger King was forced to pull this ice cream lid.Response? Fuck you.
Exhibit 3: The Danish Cartoons Protest in London.
Need I say more? The only real comment is how sickened is how free speech has been hijacked to
suppress free speech.Response? You guessed it. FUCK YOU.
Of course there's no need to mention the more high profile issues like actual violence and the absolute disregard for human rights and the status of women and homosexuals.
Actually, nevermind. I'll go ahead and post about homosexuals in the Muslim World.
Exhibit 4: Homosexuality in Iran. These two boys, aged 18 and 16, were executed for having homosexual sex. A 16 year old boy. A junior in high school...was executed for being gay?
Response? May you burn in hell.

Hsien-I posted this in response to one of your previous entries but I am re-posting here in case you missed it----(it is in response to your interview process, etc.)
I think you are just in a sophmore slump. I know I am. Remember last year...every thing was so new and it seemed like the sky was the limit.
I think that feeling can be recaptured if we just look at the next step (firm life or whatever) as just that...a step. It is not something we have to do for the rest of our life. Just think of it as an experience and go with the flow. In the end, we will be in a position where we have always wanted to be (even if we don't know what that is now).
By the way, it is not nearly as fun this year not having you and the RC around. I didn't realize how much time I spent with you last year until this year. (No I am not gay)
Go Harvard!
DA
D-Rox,
I think you're right about the sophomore slump thing...but this whole transfer process has just really put a dampener on my whole life. Aside from the intangible, inaccessible feeling of "prestige" or a "better learning environment" or "better opportunities", my life is worse in every single respect. As if I'm living now for a better future and I'm not sure what that is, and I'm certainly sure that the "next step" isn't it. I think it's the idea of a short term, high cost for a long term benefit which is just hard to bear.
Ditto on the RC, DA, JL study group. I find that I simply don't understand what's going on in law unless I'm talking about it with someone, there's no one to talk to about any of this.
And yes you are gay.
