I would like to invite you all to participate in the discussion Ted and Stan have been partaking recently concerning the crux issue of world cultures and there meanings.
Go to this link and Join in.
This is a copy of my last post below.
Now this is the way a discourse ought to be conducted!!!
Two very intelligent and artful minded THINKERS who can present their views without slur of the other.
Commendable I might say
I think I can empathize with both thought transgressions really.
As far as Teds thoughts go.
In a society that attempts to try and establish more and more a "Civilized"( I use the word loosely) way of life, then I think to support (by doing so is in fact encouraging) a set of people to live their way of life is undermining the core of the societies existence values in the first place.
Put another way. You sleep with dogs and you will rise with fleas.
But if you wash the dog with a good shampoo and train it to bury his s***, and teach him not to bark at the slightest foot tread, then sleeping with that dog is another matter all together.
Being an Educator myself, this is core and crux of the matter.
A person can only act within their limitations set upon them by their brainwashed existence.
TO WHAT DEGREE does a society reinforce FAV fear anger violence. In my series of Blogs Hierarchy of Religion and Ruled by Fear I elaborated on this idea.
I think the simplicity of the Quran and some of its doctrines just touch on delivering a <b>How to Live</b> manual and some of its teachings are just plain ignorant. Compare the thickness of the bible and the Quran!! More words equal more self reflection and experiences of life's little intricacies.
This is what CAUSED these mental heads to destroy a 17 year old girl with such malicious intent and the huge disregard of empathy sickens me..
It is in no way comparable to The Rodney King beatings or any other violent video I have been subjected to see.
This is a girl who is being CINDER BLOCKED (stones have gotten alot bigger these days) for sleeping with somebody, for LOVING somebody. How sick is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to add that Stans words and causes are equally Noble and eloquent.
It would be great to actually meet you both someday for real. I think we could have a really good triangle table.
Thank you Stan for your kind comments. You are from a gentler society Canada than the harsh USA.
I empathise with the fact that fear here not be escallated and fuel put to the Mount Everest bonfire that is alraeady the size.
The solvent is Education and raising awareness and empathy. Not bombs and guns.
The more the person is indoctrinated and made fearful the more likely they will permit and partake in acts of violence mild or major.
This discussion needs more input and others on Nsearch ought to make some points here.lease
