[QUOTE]Originally posted by *Dalia*: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ramses nemesis: I have to stress though that I see absolutely nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree. I also don't state my opinion and disapear. I often stay around and read the replies. If and only if I have something to add, I will. It's just that I don't believe in flogging a dead horse really. [/QUOTE]Me neither. But I am very much in favour of an exchange of thoughts. And that is not possible when a person just states their opinion, but then refuses to answer any questions. I don't think asking someone to clarify their point of view is "flogging a dead horse". [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ramses nemesis: "Secondly": I think there must've been a misunderstanding. Either I wasn't clear or you didn't understand me, but first let me apologise if you thought I was "ridiculing" any domestic arrangement, especially that it may very well apply to some people here (I just don't know). I wasn't ridiculing anybody. The second misunderstanding came from the notion of maternity leave. I meant it in the Egyptian sense, i.e. a time off to deliver the baby. It is obvious that this only applies to women. [/QUOTE]Well, you wrote that "most sensible people would find it ludicrous" if the father takes the same number of days off as the mother. That *is* ridiculing. But yes, we were both referring to different things, so I think the issue is solved. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ramses nemesis: I will ignore the patronising tone in this part including what appears to me to be implicit unsubstantiated claims about my background. I say unsubstantiated simply because you don't know anything about my nationality, religion, gender, culture, etc. [/QUOTE]I just read my post again and could not find anything that sounds patronizing. Can you clarify which comment of mine you perceived this way? It was most certainly not my intention to be patronizing in any way. :( I have not made any claims regarding your background, where are you getting this from? :confused: The only thing I know about you is that, according to your own words, you are Egyptian, Muslim ("religious" though "not strict"), and consider yourself upper middle class: [i]He's an Eygptian muslim gentleman. He wouldn't consider himself particularly religous, but like many men of his generation and social background, he observes the "five pillars" (not hajj though) and avoids the so called "majors". As for his social class, he considers himself to be upper-middle class he doesn't consider himself religious, so not a "strict muslim" (however you define that!)

Again, I apologise for not having the time to elaborate. To do it justice, I have to go back and read your and other peoples' posts on this thread and possibly follow the links you give. Unfortunately I just don't have the time for that. Maybe some other time![/QUOTE]M3alesh. :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
