Beware the pride of thinking that your crowd, your society is superior.

Why would I think my culture, which guarantees equal protection regardless of gender, age, color or national origin is superior to a bunch of misogynistic pederast religious fanatics?

Just asking.

Maybe because it *IS*, if your phrasing is correct.

But,

If you REALLY want to stir up the pot, why not film yourself tossing a few dozen copies of the Koran into a roaring bonfire, (Youtube at 11)?

You seem to have positioned yourself pretty squarely in the midst of about 1200 years of similar and not inconsequential opinion.

When I called him Panzzie, he complained!
How did you get away with it?


Was he sent home to his mom with a note?

Can you imagine having Jim as your 3rd grade teacher?
You couldnt get away with anything as he had already tried it when he was a kid & remembered it !!

Its just a bit of high quality moderating on OD I guess !!

You focus on a narrow part of our culture, and one that is largely an ideal that often doesn't translate to reality at any rate. Looking at the previous 100 years, one can find many examples of Americans, public and private, treating peoples of other nations as though they were expendable bio-mass in the way of progress. And why not, our culture is superior.

I have no idea what his transgression was, nor do I really care.

All I know is, suddenly, one day, the level of English on here increased noticably ......

As far as I know, and I maybe wrong, pederasty has never been normative in American culture. Anywhere. Even at the depths sexual discrimination it was never normative to murder women for copulating promiscuously.

OTOH, we could look at right now. Which is where we are. And always will be. Those mortarforkers continue in their sexual relations with children and oppression of women. Not to mention slavery and human trafficking.

------------- Story ------------


Woman in Timbuktu punished for forbidden love

Salaka Djicke is a round-faced, big-boned girl with the wide thighs still fashionable in the desert, an unforgiving terrain that leaves many women without curves. Until the Islamists came and upended her world, the 24-year-old lived a relatively free life.

During the day, she helped her mother bake bread in a mud oven, selling each puffy piece for 50 francs (10 cents). In the afternoon, she grilled meat on an open fire and sold brochettes on the side of the road. She saved the money she earned to buy herself makeup and get her hair styled.

Like her sisters and friends, she spoke openly with men — including the stranger who called her by mistake more than a year ago.

The man thought he was calling his cousin. When he heard Salaka's voice, he apologized. His voice was polite but firm, with the authoritative cadence of a man in his prime. Hers was flirtatious, and her laugh betrayed her youth.

They started talking.

A few days later, he called her again. For two weeks, they spoke nearly every day, until he asked for directions to her house.

She explained how to find the mud house on Rue 141, past the water tower also made of mud, in a neighborhood less than a mile from where he sold gasoline from jerrycans by the roadside. She had time to put on a yellow dress.

He arrived on his motorcycle.

I didn't volunteer to sing the praise of those people. I tend to think that a baby snatched from such a culture and raised elsewhere will be more like the culture he is raised in. Steve Jobs was half Syrian. No doubt he is distant cousins with some of the fools engaging in random slaughter and rape in Syria. Is there some genetic difference tween Jobs and them?

Our nation is relatively civilized now but not long ago we engaged in the wholesale subjugation and use of dark skinned peoples. The women were often treated as sex slaves and breeding stock for their owners to spawn slaves related to them. Strange stuff and it can't be shrugged away. Somehow we grew out of it somewhat. Nonetheless, stats have it that one in four women in the US are raped in their lifetime so clearly some level of barbarism and depravity still exists here.

The very act of assuming superiority tends to make one stupid. It cuts down on receptivity to new information and experience.
