So many of the people read the answers and ignore the best answers in favor of answers that support what they want to believe. Why ask if you are afraid to hear the truth? Look at the Religion section if you don't understand. Politics as well. I'm open to any answers

In this age of internet, satelite tv and globalisation there is a fear that countires and groups are losing their own identity. If you turn on the radio or tv in the likes of Australia, Engalnd or USA you will hear and see the same music and tv programmes. Teenagers in Ireland and the US are likely to do the same types of things in their spare time and wear the same types of clothes, watch the same tv shows and listen to the same music. If you were to walk around Paris, London, Dublin, Melbourne or Toronto you will see the same names of shops, fast food places and the same kinds of pubs and clubs. Are we all losing our own distinct identity?

The government is much better at telling us what is right and wrong because they can reflect the public mood much better. A liberal, accepting approach to all things makes a much better World.

I think Chinese New Year and the giving of red packets is a Chinese tradition to bring in good luck and drive away the bad spirits? So should Christians or even a Church be celebrating Chinese New Year?

We cannot understand why God had created this world. Please reply after considering that:-
1) God had not created us just to worship God.
2) So many people had everything available to them canbe found in the world like of Mr. Bill Gate, President of USA etc.

We could not understand why God had created this world. Any body should answer if anyone had found the satisfactorily answer in this regards.

Thanks

Why is there no "white history month"?
If there was an organization that only gave white people scholarships would they be considered racist?

I don't understand why minorities are coddled so much in modern America, do you? Everyone is a human, why do we all distance ourselves like this?

I'm interested in finding websites, online groups, search engines, and other sources involving the ana/mia communites. Any referrals are welcome. Since there are individuals who oppose such support, it has become difficult.

Tell me which is more racist. Brit instead of British. Scot instead of Scottish. Paki instead of Pakistani. Pom instead of english.
Other than Paki it seems the rest can be used by the Press and all other media, without any thoughts of racism. So why do we make special rules for Paki's and other non Brits.
