Kids, what would you like? Options

I always thought they are both difficult but for a man a girl is a pain in the ass... I'd prefer two boys or two girls...

I voted boys only (for more than one)...

(But first I have to meet a woman that will stay with me for more than 4 months!!!)

Just to set the record straight: I did not want to offend you, Maya. I have nothing against you, or Egyptians for that matter. I was just making a protest against custom of buying/selling wifes that is (or at least was) widespread in Egypt and some other poorer Muslim contries. If there is no more wife marketing in Egypt, I am very glad to hear it.
I couldn't bealive when I've talked with some guy from Libia that told me he bought wife in Egypt. He also said that people from his part of the country usualy buy wifes in Egypt, because they are cheaper there.
I've heard similar stories from our folks who have worked in some Arab contries. I have nothing agains Arabs, but I don't like this custom and don't know why women were putting up with it. I guess it's a matter of upbringing. Women in Saudi Arabia think that law which says they can't drive a car is OK. I personaly see no reason why women should not be allowed to drive.

I try to treat people the same regardless of thair nationality, color or religion. But I do realise that a lot of folks have a problem with those. My own country fell appart in a bloody war because of national and religious intolerance, fed to people over mass-media. Or example closer to your home: Israel and Palestinians. Pure madness.

Nick, feel free to move the post into other thread if you want.
