I wonder if it is how they deal with their own inability to live between two worlds. People usually ridicule what they are uncomfortable with.

I place a lot of the blame on Disney, which sets the stage for lack of respect when they are little. His films never show an intact family, or a strong father of intelligent mother.

I am amazed at the lack of respect shown on kids films, too. I sit with my kids for the ‘contempt’ alerts; we point out every word, facial expression or body language that shows contempt for parents of those in authority.

I wish these girls would hang on to the tradition of respect, that is an Arab import the us needs as desperately as petroleum.

(Mai, sorry I haven’t commetned in awhile!)

I’m sorry to hear that about Arab-American girls.Is there a reason hiding behind them acting this way?

What is your experience,Maioush, of growing up with Arab girls?

I don’t understand the American concept that there’s something wrong with someone single living with their parents.

I don’t know how much longer my dad has to live, so I wish my parents could come live with us so that we can at least spend time with them before it’s too late.
