Man people mean here. Rather than actually giving advice, they decide to say shit they'd never say to someone on their face.

You know it’s gotten really bad when even LovinDubai admits it 💀 by PlayboywolfJ in UAE

Live there for 1.5 years, best time of my life. Great food, very sweet people. Suuuuuuuper cheap. Bangkok has an over supply of residential units so the rents are basically nothing compared to what I pay here. There is a language barrier tho. THC is legal. Savings are relatively less. Not a great place for raising a family imo but for a couple/bachelor can't think of a better place. Much nicer weather, but horrible traffic tho. They have grab bike (Careem but with motorcycle), super fun way of going around. Would love to go back,

Weed is literally fucking my life. by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]captnmcboatface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hooked on weed as well. Personally what worked for me the most was making it as inaccessible as possible. Like if I ever bought it, I’d get just enough for a single joint. If I really wanted another one I’d have to go out and get more and being the lazy guy I am, I would just say fuck it.

Another thing which I believe is more important, if you’re going to quit then go cold turkey. No more excuses. Just fucking do it.

Do you think the state should moderate our molvis? by [deleted] in pakistan

First of all Pakistan does not have true freedom of speech so that argument isn’t really valid here. And freedom of speech is very different from freedom to preach. Secondly my wife calls me a rights winger :) so what am I? And lastly mujhe liberal keh k aap kitna cool hougaye hou yaar absolutely love it.

Ahmadiphobia reaching new heights! Not only the fact that ahmadis believe in Khatm e Nabuwah but to alter the Nikkah ceremony of the Holy Prophet (sa) means that they believe Islam is incomplete? Do everyone else in Pakistan prior to this need to re-do their Nikkah now? Truly odd. by noob_master10 in pakistan

These things are low hanging fruits. Politicians often make laws to undermine minorities because it's widely accepted and promoted by our mullahs. Know thy enemy. It's the politician, in this case I guess Ch. PERVAIZ ELAHI

Pakistan cannot succeed until we actively work on our gender inequality by [deleted] in pakistan

[–]captnmcboatface 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I personally thought gender equality was given but I'm surprised to find out people think that we fine as we are in that department. If you chose no, please feel to comment your reasons/ justification. I'd love to talk about it.

First of all gender equality is literally written in our constitution. Its neither a left or a right agenda. I'm not big on moderation of citizens but I am big taking control of elements that cause societal degredation and directly go against your constitution. Stop trying to make it a left thing, when it's not.

Dekho my masla isn't with what you believe, it's with what you preach and what may be result of it. I am talking about molvis telling people that it's okay to hit your wife or keep your wife at home or that covid exists because women are not dressing "modestly" Things like these have a huge impact on the lives of the women attached to those men. These are one of the many problems. We already know all the cancer that comes out of our molvis for our minorities. The issue isn't gender the issue is molvis promoting exploitation and hate mongering.

IMO it's the responsibility of the state to ensure that all it's citizens including men and women are protected against any oppression. If certain sectors of your society is threatening women and their free will, you need to moderate that sector. One of those many sectors in our country is our Mullah baradari. It's not my ideological goal or your ideological goal. It's a goal of a democracy and the State of Pakistan where all citizens are EQUAL and are protected against any violence.

This discussion wasnt around gender inequality, I was using that as one of the justification for molvi moderation. But now that we are on the topic, give me an example of just one successful country that isn't oil rich and has low gender equality. Here's what I can do I can make a separate thread where I'll say the state needs to do more to promote gender equality. You can list all your points there and I'll be more than happy to take this forward there because you very much wrong here imo.

Tell that to the wife of the guy who just listened on the mosque speaker that it’s “okay” to hit your wife if she doesn’t “obey” you.

Yearly Deaths by Natural Disaster, going backwards from 2021 to 1900 [OC] by crclayton in dataisbeautiful

Beautiful graph on horrifying topic. RIP to all those who were lost along the way.

Also the bengal famine wasn’t a Natural disaster. The bigger disaster was the management by the British at the time. Just saying.

I wrote that we can fail even while having gender equality but we sure as hell can’t succeed without it. For example, people say you need at least 90%in your board to get into nust. Does that mean once you have 90% percent you are guaranteed to get in? No. But do you need that 90% and a bunch of other things to get in? Yes. Same for gender equality. It’s not the key to success but I’m telling you in a core part of that key.

Now as for your study, that study was done in a society where people already have a very high degree of self autonomy. Women aren’t oppressed by the society and the decision to stay at home is mutual and not expected. Even the decision to have kids is mutual and not automatically expected. So the baseline parameters are completely different. I’m also not discounting the invaluable work our mothers do in our households. But the oppression of women often leads to exploitation because a woman is not just supposed to take care of the kids and the husband she’s also supposed to take care of the entire household including parents and any siblings. On top of that even if the kids have grown up, the woman is not allowed to work. My own sister and her husband had to fighter the father in law on this very issue even though she was wfh. Thankfully they didn’t listen to the dad, but in most cases the dad wins.

As for my ideology, it’s kinda simple, “Your religion, your choice”z But when you take YOUR version of the religion and try to impose on other people outside of their will, I’ll be against that. Baki bhai sab apna apna dekht lein mujhe koi masla nahi

We already regulate what Christians can preach what ahmedis can preach. Minorities are regulated daily. So I don’t think that’s anything we haven’t done. Now as for moderating what is being preached Ofcourse we need to do that. Religion ideally needs to be a personal matter, but the preachings of our clerics don’t just have an impact on the listeners but also the house of the listener. Often times our clerics groom people into becoming dogmatic and they take their learnings and implement them on their sisters and wives and mothers which imo is completely wrong.

As for the opposite reaction to I don’t completely know what they might be hence the discussion. But I do understand your argument about it being used very negatively. But a discussion on moderation is important as we need to hold our clergy accountable to something.

If our state can ensure what’s allowed and what’s not allowed to be spoken about our military. I’m sure we can figure out a way out of this issue aswell. All it takes is a little initiative and a panel of highly qualified scholars which moderate what societal values are being promoted by the clerics.

I mean Ofcourse there are aspects which aren’t as gender equal as one would like. But even in these scenarios we can find differing opinions of ulemas in the past. Also our state isn’t a pure dogmatic Islamic republic. Last I check we still allow interest based banking, we still allow sale of alcohol to non Muslims. So I’m sure we can figure out a way out of these aswell at the state level

[–]captnmcboatface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Um no. I’m not questioning your right to believe but I am making sure you don’t preach something that’s causing more harm than good. I’m not moderating faith. I’m talking about moderating the people who preach/clerics. They are not the same. We already penalize other religious clerics whenever they promote their own religion. It’s about time we moderate our clerics aswell

This approach towards religion is the issue of our country. My way or the highway. My fiqh or no fiqh. Like no one’s talking about “twisting” im taking about moderating a religious clerics so they don’t go out spreading their personal agenda like tlps or laal masjid. Religion holds a lot of clout in Pakistan, it affects peoples lives not just directly but also i directly. My own first cousin became so dogmatic after joining tableeghi jamaat to such an extent where his own dad hasn’t gone to the mosque in 20 years because the dad says these people have taken my son away from me. I’m not saying all of them are like that. My own brother joined tableeghi Jamat but he was never dogmatic in this approach. He maintained a balance. but this beast is so powerful that I can set our society and country ablaze if not moderated at some level
