USA or elsewhere in the West,it´s all the same....
The President has spoken about it,Wesley Snipes twittered about it,protest storms,media overkill,and the far left/right extremists Black Panthers have given a reward,if this "murderer" is caught,-we´re talking about the Trayvon Martin case...An uproar,that leaves no-one untouched......
Links are hardly needed,since everyone´s aware of this......
But......
Where is the President,the celebrities,the media coverage,the outrage,the Panthers....when....
Deniers,in all forms and shapes,-self deniers,truth deniers to name a few....
People that are worried what other´s might think&say about them,and therefore denying themselves......,which most of the time,comes down to bad self confidence,but not many would admit that....
And most of all,-YES-sayers,who hardly have an own opinion on thing´s...
If you´re a head of state,and visiting the White House,the chances to get compliments by Pres.Obama are great,in fact,-you can almost count on it....But,-you´re not the only one,-truth is,everyone who´s been there before,(and probably after),will hear the exact same phrases...
Good answer!!As a matter of fact,I read some science about that just recently,-in a Swedish mag,-and they said the same......Can´t recall when though,but you´re view is probably,according to these anthropolgists,true!!!
As a matter of fact.it is so good,so it should need some time of thinking before answering this,but I´ll give it a try.....
Tolerance,assuming towards other´s...,is that within my own,personal belief system?
Maybe,depends how we look at "tolerance"!
I´m not tolerant against many thing´s,-political systems,melting pot,PC,MC and all other social constructions,-but towards humans,-I´d say yes...
What we give,is what we get,-simple as that!
That,however,doesn´t mean I´m going main stream,-I´m not tolerant,because I´m told so,-I always make up my own mind about thing´s,-no matterwhat the media tells me...And by doing so,and criticising,I´m often called intolerant....
My folks taught me to love and respect,but since I was told this,-society has changed......
3 good threads within a short while,(yours,Wulfenfun,Olaix),-seems,there´s still hope,after all!
As for "dumbed down",-look no further than to this very Forum,-and there´s the answer....
Adults,parents,grandparents,-who´s highest form of intellectual work lies in scrabbling or likewise..what does that tell us?
Just the other day,I saw a midaged woman moan like some cat,and hand on heart,-how can you consider such behaviour,anything but dumb?
Well,-the examples are countless,-and yes,we,-the West,-live in a intellectual degenerated era,-where actually dumbness is seen as progressive and enriching...Anyone disagreeing,is of course seen as backward or any -ism you can think of.......
But,-who asked for this,what made this possible,-well,-we did,-the people!
Just like we choose our politicians,or our ways to live.....For me,-the choice between idiocy or knowledge is simple.........
Knowledge is power,an old clichee,-but never has it been more truthful....
Knowledge means,-make your own descisions,-and don´t let anyone else do them for you!!!
Sounds like everyday Sweden really,I´m no stranger to this.....
On a serious note however,-where is line drawn what is "hate" and not?
What´s controversial to someone,isn´t to somebody else...
Hey,we don´t have to look further than to this very Forum,to see how sensitive some people are,-handling out the "hate card",as soon as they find a reason.....
Very much points towards that,as prominent former mayor of London,Ken Livingstone is promising to turn the capital into a beacon of Islam,and also "educate the masses of Islam".......
Also promising loud&clear,that he would make sure,that the non-muslim Londoners would understand the Prophets "words&message"......
Whether this is a good thing or not,-I don´t know,-for the simple reason,I´m not English...But one thing I know for sure,is that this is very,very welcomed by the mayority of non-muslim residents of England(one only needs to look at this very Forum,to understand this).......
So,good luck,and don´t forget your 5 prayers a day........
Can´t recall I´ve ever had a good looking teacher,-nor in Kindergarten or in school....Hmmm..all I can remember are grey,left-winged teachers,preaching the greatness of USSR...like a mantra,-and for some reason,they all looked the same.....
However,-at least when it comes to looks,-that has changed dramatically.....
Go ahead,kill each other if you like.....but we´ve been waiting for this...watching.....waiting....
A world in chaos,politics in chaos,social breakdown.....that´s what triggers our cause....and we will rise....,don´t even doubt it,we´re many and we´re strong.....
We feed on your despair,uncertainity,fears....you will,when the damage´s done,look for a new way,and we will provide it.......,a new way of thinking,a new way to look at thing´s,because the old liberal way didn´t work,-it caused death,war and suffering......so liberalism was a failure....
Mankind needs something new.....we´re here for you...
