    The problem is, Frau Pepperkakehus, that you are endeavouring to debate facts with Dr. Pangloss!

    Agriculture for subsistence is not the same as agriculture for commerce....

    Just a little testimony here. Mazhur says men do all the work for their families... I've been a few months in India, and honestly, in both Muslim and Hindu parts it seemed like only women and children worked in the fields and on the street it was almost only children (I am not talking about Tibetan and Nepali cultures where work seemed to be shared more equally, from what I've seen). The men were the ones in the shops sitting all day.

    Et.
    I agree with your observation but conditions in India and Pakistan are different.
    In Pakistan you will not find any woman working in 99.99 per cent shops, the 0.01 percent you will find as sales girls in high class (4 or 5 star) stores or shops only and we dont have many such shops or stores here in Pakistan except for a few in big cities of Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.

    Women do work in certain industries such as fisheries,garments etc and are protected by govt regulations. Child labor was a scourge but it is now over after the EU objected to it. The factors, FYI, which promoite child labor are illiteracy ,poverty, lack of health care and unemployment. Some Kids still work with their parents in some mum-dad type cottage industries or workshops to support their families. However, this is not prominent.

    Similarly educated women work in offices and skilled ones in factories but the main bulk of labor is males.

    Recently too many begging children have been thrown on the street by some cult and their is a campaign going against it ,,,,,

    Women do work in fileds but just for lending a helping hand to their men. Awareness is growing among people and they are sending their childrren to schools now.

    The basic problem of Pakistan is feudal and tribal systme in some provinces and that's the biggest hurdle in the way of democracy. The democracy we have is not democracy in the real sense of the word....

    Unless poverty is eliminated or curtailed and people educated you should not expect a poor country to be like a developed country,,,,that would be sheer cruelty and injustice !

    I think it is very difficult, almost impossible to talk sense into a Pakistani man who somehow thinks he is inherently superior over women. Why try?

    you guys, it's useless to talk about superiority of one sex over the other, one race over the other, one religion over the other, because remember, we were all born equally innocent from some mother...
    So lets not fight with our egos, aight?

    hehehe, I thought of something when woke up this morning... at the time I found it incredibly funny, but I guess it's not really.... :
    what if people never had invented clothes but developed a 'modern' life style like ours in all other respects... would they be like "There's got to be more to life than this!" and feel like there's something wrong with their lives but they just couldn't figure out what it was... ... yeah, it doesn't make too much sense now...

    I don't think that nude people on billboards will ever be acceptable or nude people on network television will ever be acceptable. Going to a strip joint? Sure! Porn shop? Sure! On your personal computer? Sure! At the hardware store? Watch out for flying hammers!

    In New York City, ten or fifteen years ago, a judge ruled that it was acceptable for people to go topless. Some people thought "Hooray! Topless women!" I thought "Ugh...topless women..." knowing as I did the sort of women who would choose to go topless. Sure enough, on the news almost immediately, was some carefully (and mercifully) pixeled out video of a fat, hairy, ugly feminist beast down in the subway, proudly displaying what no one wanted to see. Now look, I watch as much porn as the next man and worship the female form--when it's one that should be displayed. I am also aware that my own portly carcass is about as appealing to women as that heifer in the subway was to men. The point being, I'm all for nudity when and where appropriate. Trouble is, very few people should be seen naked and in any case they are never the ones who choose to be. Here endeth the lesson.

    nudity is anarchist
    why nor wear clothes when there is abundance of it is the question?
    it may never try
    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that
