Why Submission - and Islamic Thought - seem so Foreign to Western Thinking
2009-08-25 07:16:00 Our Western world seems to be obsessed with winning. Try and be your best, we are told. Never give up. Fight for your dreams and ideals. There is an air of invincible force over the North American spirit that thrives on obstacles and competition; everyone is always on the look-out for self-improvement. ?Second-best? just doesn?t cut it; it?s the consolation price; it?s the price invented for losers only.Although these are great principles that can move forward both the individual and the nation, it also has its peculiar drawbacks. Success becomes often defined and measured by ?material success?. Businessmen compete with each other in size and money. Athletes break their necks to break world-records. Bestsellers and blockbuster vie over how much cash they can bring in.The other drawback exists in the limits we each face. Ignoring them does not make them go away. No matter how much time I may spend on learning an art that is contrary to my talents and abilities ? such as drawing - I j...

A Western Woman In China....Sex, Sex, Sex????!!!!
2009-08-17 09:21:00 Not me, of course. But Gina in Shanghai, who on her blog, Gina in Shanghai, has written a very thought provoking piece, entitled, "Peter Hessler and laowai nuzi," on how Western women are viewed in China (h/t China Beat). To grossly summarize, Chinese view Western women to be like the women in "Sex in the City." Western women are envied for their independence and strength, but looked askance at for being "a bit too morally degenerate." Gina very nicely explains her frustration with these stereotyped views in a post that is well worth a read. Just added the Sex, Sex, Sex part both to draw in more readers (trust me, putting sex in a post works for this EVERY time), but also because I just came across a very interesting, and related, post on China Geeks, "Li Yinhe: Criticizing the Sex Double Standard." The post translates a Li Yinhe post on THE double standard in China when it comes to sex: "the more sexual a man is, the better; the less sexual a woman is, the better." The post c...

Western Companies Are Frittering Away China Employees. Or Not.
2009-06-12 07:02:00 Fascinating article at Access Asia on how Western companies are, at the exact worst time, cutting back on their employees in China. The article, "Are Foreign Brands in China About to Give It All Away??" says that many Western companies, run out of places like London and New York, are cutting back on their China operations so as to preserve cash and save money at home: By and large, in most sectors of the retail business, they had the locals on the run both as brands and retailers. Then last year’s financial crash. Since then two mantras have surfaced – the West is in freefall; China is surprisingly robust. Our sales are declining in the West; growth is still apparent in China. Good news then for those teams in China who did all the hard work over the last decade? Eeeerrr, no. Head offices from London to Paris to New York and back again panicked – big time. Cuts were demanded; cost savings had to be found – redundancies implemented. And it seems a sort of warped, nonsensic...

Pay plays: Paychex (PAYX) and Western Union (WU)
2009-05-19 14:00:00 "With unemployment on the rise, shares of payroll and payments processors have attracted more sellers than buyers," notes Peter Staas.Nevertheless, the research editor for Personal Finance assesses two "industry leaders that each boast capable management, financial flexibility and attractive, long-term growth prospects -- the ingredients of a successful turnaround play.""There’s- no question that Paychex (NSDQ: PAYX) has been hit by the economic slowdown: Net income was down 9% in the third quarter as the credit crunch and falling demand precipitated a wave of business closures and layoffs. "And if the economy didn’t present enough of a challenge, historically low yields on high-grade fixed-income instruments have depressed the payroll firm’s investment income, which dropped 57% from a year ago."Despite these formidable obstacles, Paychex isn’t dead in the water. With interest rates at record lows, there’s little d...

Ignoramus Western Journalists and Commentators View Hizbullah Romantically
2009-04-17 18:15:00 Western observers both living inside and outside of Lebanon often delight in seeing Hizbullah as the real, the authentic, the truly Third Worldish Lebanon, a land of austerity, hatred of the West, incorruptible hatred of Israel and Jews, swift and sure punishment of religious backsliders, enemies of bourgeois Western civilization, etc. This Authentic Lebanon is contrasted with the Lebanon of bourgeois prosperity & luxury, adoption of features of Western culture, insufficient hatred of Israel, free market economy, and the like. Michael Young perceptively complains about the wilful blindness about Lebanon so often compulsively demonstrated and deployed by Western observers, journalists, commentators, diplomats, policy analysts, politicians, etc.Hizbullah also benefits from the underlying contempt among many Westerners for the baroque Lebanese system itself, all nods and winks and clandestine compromises. Here is a party that can build institutions, that means what it says and says...

Western Inaugural Ball
2009-01-24 00:40:00 Delegate Kilili gave me two tickets to the Western Ball. The ticket said it was a black tie event, so instead of renting a tuxedo, I just borrowed a black tie.I took one of his staffers, Becky Cruz Lizama, as my date. I think some of my readers know her, but I had only met her briefly at a coed soccer game last summer and during a meeting about the Marianas Trench Marine National Monument back in December (I also invited her to the LCV reunion).The food at the ball was terrible, but the drinks weren't too expensive. A beer was $6 and a glass of wine was $9. The bartenders were really slow, which was annoying and made for a lot of standing in line.There were two stages, one on either side of the ballroom. The main stage is where Marc Anthony sang and where Joe Biden and Barack Obama appeared. On the other end was where the cheesy Mickey Mouse Club-esque band played a bunch of cover songs.We ran into Madeleine Bordallo. She told us that the Governor of Guam Felix Camacho was th...

How to Tell You’re in Western NY State
2009-01-17 22:14:00 This is what I was faced with when I left work the other day. My beloved Rainier was covered in snow, and was nearly invisible given the remaining light. What you don’t see in the picture is the foot of snow covering the entire parking lot, save where they plowed on this side of the truck. As I came out of the building the guy who runs the snowplow, which is actually a slightly modified payloader, was sitting there idling, waiting for people to leave so he could complete his task. I had one of two choices that I could make; I could leave the parking lot by taking the route he’s plowed for us, which most people were doing, or I could go straight to my usual exit, through the foot deep snow. Just to be an annoyance, I did the latter. The truck, for its part, never noticed. Meantime, the Prius parked in the row in back of the truck, tried to run out for the area that had been plowed, somehow lost control of the thing, and smacked a freshly built up snow bank…. whi...

Death Tolls For Western Imperialism, Colonialism and 3rd World Capitalism
2008-11-15 12:23:00 Via Gideon Polya. In general, the figures are post-WW2. He also takes to task the "incompetent governance" in South Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, India and Pakistan) with massive deaths.The Global Avoidable Mortality blog looks pretty interesting, and I have mucked around there a bit.The part about 500 million dead Muslims post-1950 looks pretty interesting, but I haven't looked into that yet.More Polya here.Total excess mortality per year as of 2004:Iraq 122,000Afghanistan 359,000India 2.2 millionPakistan 478,000Bangladesh 288,000In Iraq and Afghanistan, those are the excess deaths that are probably occurring due to Coalition activities (especially in Iraq). In Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, the excess deaths are probably due to the lack of socialism.
