I'm an italian girl and a computer science master student.I'd like to enlight (even if against my own interest) the Ivan's nationality. You other human beings should comprehend him: he sees half-naked or bitch-weared women/girls/"female children" not only on television but also walking around the streets. and the hypothesis of women being not as able as men in "some fields" (quite everything with the except of 'sexual toys') is so tough that it's become a convinction. This is why I dream to get out of this medieval country as soon as possible (and in the meantime I'm trying to organize something more even if, believe me, it's quite impossible to change anything here)
Thanks myriam P.S. you can get an idea on what I'm talking about by watching a great documentary at http://www.ilcorpodelledonne.net/?page_id=91 (if the recent "POLITICAL" news are not enough... -.- ) On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 8:02 PM, Lesley Binks <[email protected]>wrote: > 2009/9/29 Harry Rickards <[email protected]>: > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > > Hash: SHA1 > > > > On 29/09/09 16:25, Ivan Serra wrote: > >> Hi Ana > >> thanks for your message > >> I respect your opinion my apologies for my email I thought it was a good > >> idea > >> Regards > >> Ivan > >> > >> Ana Guerrero ha scritto: > >>> On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 03:05:59PM +0200, Ivan Serra wrote: > >>> > >>>> Hi Ana > >>>> thanks for your email why are you speechless? > >>>> I'm just talking about that here: > >>>> > >>>> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1278096 > >>>> > >>>> my apologies for my english > >>>> > >>> > >>> > >>> Let's see if you understand it with a little example: > >>> > >>> Imagine instead of being married and living with your wife, you live > >>> with your > >>> brother.
