And how does the love/dislike for one's parents affect one's want/don't want of children? Obvious to you but not to me.
I like the option of loving someone or not. You make it sound like not loving one's parents is a bad thing. As if one should feel guilty about it. Being a parent gives no entitlement for undisputed respect and love from one's children. Nice thing if they do but the free choice is theirs.
As for the 'they should back up their belief n get themselves fixed' wtf? Can you not think of one reason/scenario where not wanting children would be a selfless act? I can.
Sake of the children and wedding vows are not always compatible. I assume it depends on one's priorities. Sake of the children because one finds people important, wedding vows because one finds what other people think important... While a healthy family environment is a great place for bringing up children, family in a conservative sense is overrated. When it comes to the question of sake of the children wedding vows are always secondary or there should be so much outside social/religious pressure that it becomes relevant. But in that case I suggest one changes the neighbourhood and or religion asap.
Clear to you, not to me. Where in the wording of 'single/not looking' one finds 'no string fun' is a mystery to me. I think you've just proven my point.
And the honesty of telling the world one is not single and/or not looking, or is single and not looking went past on the elven o'clock train from platform three. Very deceitful, full of intentions... Anyway, everyone has their own interpretation of what it might be. short-term, long term, dating, friends-hang out,intimate encounter,talk/email/penpal, activity partner are all as clear like single/not looking. What you think does not equal other peoples thoughts. Jumping to conclusions does make the world more a fun place.
You come from construction. There is a enormous difference in philosophy between garden design and construction. Construction is dealing with dead objects and immediate decay. Once you finish your job and walk away it is starting to crumble, no ways around that. Gardening is the opposite. It's alive and growing, once you planted the garden that's when it starts. It is not finished and never should be. The pavings, patios etc are the boring parts of gardening, dead. But hey, luck has it for you, thats what most people find the important part of their garden for the rest they lack vision. Proclaiming to go and do all the jobs cash in hand on a public forum sounds like a very wise thing to do... Anyways, while I wish you good luck with your planned enterprise I doubt you will do it and are just looking for a justification for buying a jeep you probably can't afford. I might be wrong.
Let me guess, his name is Renard? He ran off with the last duck in the yard here yesterday. Today he tried to run off with one of the last remaining hens.
If we turn to Islamic law, there does not exist a single legal decree, or fatwa, in the historical corpus that explicitly and decisively prohibits figural imagery, including images of the Prophet. While more recent online fatwas can surely be found, the decree that comes closest to articulating this type of ban was published online in 2001 by the Taliban, as they set out to destroy the Buddhas of Bamiyan.
In their fatwa, the Taliban decreed that all non-Islamic statues and shrines in Afghanistan be destroyed. However, this very modern decree remains entirely silent on the issue of figural images and sculptures within Islam, which, conversely, had been praised as beneficial and educational by Muhammad 'Abduh, a prominent jurist in 19th century Egypt.
In sum, a search for a ban on images of Muhammad in pre-modern Islamic textual sources will yield no clear and firm results whatsoever.
If you do know of a decree please let me know. Time to get pen and pencils out and make some funny pictures for all to enjoy. Not that we have idols that we worship, that seems something islam does forbid. Silly pictures on the other hand... feel free
Answer for your first question, damn no, I'll stay where I am. While I can envisage going along with my partner to places and events I know from the outset I would not enjoy, be it for moral support or whatever. Thing is, you mention holiday and that's something that both should enjoy. Who pays for it becomes and or is irrelevant, it's supposed to be a holiday for two. On second thought, black white it is not. A lot depends on the relationship and thinking of it, it is an invitation, a choice. Sweet darling I'm going to Uberbergenzaltshofnachthauzen for this fantastic exhibition on mathematical equations for a week, it's going to be so interesting...you want to come along? No thanks darling, I rather slit my wrist but do enjoy and see you in a week. As always, communicating well does help.

I can.
