Hookahs are used for smoking hashisha. Nargilas are used for tobacco. And the word is spelled Bedouin. From personal experience, who the fuck would want to experience the lifestyle of a nomadic people who live in the desert, and herd camels all the time? Get Real.

no, she is half arabic, and has probably lived in America all of her life.

4/14/2005 4:20:48 PM

Yes, I am HALF arabic, but that still doesn't mean I don't know about the culture, etc. All I am saying is that just because you presume that our culture, art, dance, etc is worthless b/c we're desert nomads. You may see some of the boring side of it being in the Army, ScubaDuba, but there's a lot more to it.

That is an extreme misconception. It's like saying, why would anyone go to the South when all them southerners are hicks and do nothing but milk cows and gather eggs. There is a LOT more to the mid east than just desert and nomads; I haven't been to Iraq, but I could attest to Saudi, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Palestine.

bedouins are a certain kind of people. They are sheep herders and camel herders. Just like Cowboys. I was actually joking, but since you got your starbucks drinking, sitting around the table in an air conditioned room in an upper middle class neighborhood discussing world issues of which you can have absolutely no conception of reality, then I apologize.
