They blame the media and other religions for what they really are. We constantly see them express themselves with violence, mayhem and oppression. Yet they blame the rest of us for expressing our disgust at their ways. Why don't they accept responsbility for what they truly are? It isn't the rest of the worlds fault that Muslim countrys are the worst to live in, is it?

Why is it that when American people go to other countries and when capturing images of the culture there, they try to capture images as close to American standards?

For instance, I am from Trinidad, and I often notice articles about Trinidad carnival with images captured of very light, white or very fair skin east indian women very slim and perfect. Thing is; our culture is not like that, we often clad ourselves in scandalous clothes, with our fat bellies hanging out, and ash on our a.s.s and knees and celebrate this in great fashion. It is not an image thing for Trinidadians, but America seems to capture images that are very false and untrue. I have a friend that went over the very first time and came back and told be he didnt know there was so much diversity there. Why is that? What about all the tar black people, the vagrants that participate in the carnivals? It isn't a modeling contest.

This bugs me and I know why.

What are your views?

I asked a similar question to atheists. Now, I would like to have the opinion of believers. Please be honest and explain your answer.

Facts: Atheism is not a religion. Atheists are not spiritual or into spirituality because they don't pray to God. Some say they are spiritual because they meditate, but their meditiation is more for relaxation and self-awareness.
Should atheists be in the Philosophy and Humanities Section of YA?

One thing I noticed is, Indians from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania still consider themselves "Indians", when Indians in Somalia considers themselves SOMALIS. They speak Somali/Arabic, and they are all Muslims like other Somalis. However, Indians in these other African countries DO NOT. But only speak their languages the Swahili. I want to know more about this.

When you examine the individual cards of the Rider Tarot Deck, you have to conclude that they seem to show landscapes and vegetation typical for New Zealand - the same wind-torn trees with top-heavy foliage, the same, green, jagged, volcanic mounds... could it be that Rider designed these cards in New Zealand? They just don't look British to me...?

I would appreciate your input, if you have one. Thanks.

(Oh, and by the way, I used to live in Britain and now live in NZ, hence the realization)

Wouldn't it be nice if there were an Islamic Superman?
He'd fly around doing heroic deeds... And we could read every day about X number of people saved instead of X number killed.
Is this what the world needs right now?
