Remember the beginning of the movie when the Arabs retreat in chaos after being bombed by Turkish biplanes. Looks like the Arabs still don't know how to deal with being bombed eighty years later. |

Jim_Dandy, I was always curious, just not enough that I really had to know, was T.E. Lawrence always gay, or did he become gay after spending so much time with the Arabs in the desert? Not trying to implie anything, I just know the Arabs view in that area on homosexuality. |

The " Seven Pillars " is a pretty good book, much better than the movie . T.E. got ass-pounded pretty bad by some Turks when they caught and people around him said the experience affected his personality greatly but I didn't get the idea that he was Homo/gay from the book . He does comment on the Arabs tendancies towards buggetry and that they see no moral problem with man probing cute little beduin boys ..... |

"...The public women of the rare settlements we encountered in our months of marching would have been nothing to our numbers, even had their raddled meat been palatble to a man of healthy parts. In horror of such sordid commerce our youths began indefefferently to slake one another's few needs in their own clean bodies..." T. E. Lawrence |
