A movie of female leaders who creates a cleaner, more peaceful and innovative environment on earth. Characters starring strong women like Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Gong Li, Halle Berry, Aishwarya Rai and Jessica Alba to represent some of the different nations of the earth. This kind of starring can be a blockbuster of sorts

Here in America when most of the people I know, think about Europe, they think about France, UK and Italy. It's like nobody gives a sh*t about eastern and northern Europe. Makes me sick that Americans can be so uneducated.

I live in Italy now and am getting used to the traditions and culture here. I live in a town near Milan and it's very interesting! If you have any tips or something interesting to say about Italy and Italian culture, please do.

I just read the story here:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070125/ap_on_re_mi_ea/jordan_honor_killing_1
about a Jordanian father who doubted his daughter's virginity, even after a medical examination (which, in my opinion, is itself a breach of trust), so he shot her four times in her head. She died, and an autopsy again confirmed her virginity. Is the type of person who would do such a thing to their own daughter evil to the core, psychotic, schizophrenic, or perhaps have a schizoid personality? I was briefly reading about these disorders, and discovered that a schizoid personality is "characterized by a lack of interest in social relationships, a tendency towards a solitary lifestyle, and emotional coldness. Its prevalence is estimated at less than 1% of the general population."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoid_personality_disorder

Why, then, do you suppose that Middle Eastern men murder their daughters? Is it cultural "brainwash", if you will, or a personality disorder?

Thank you for your responses they were mostly good. Here is a few more questions to continue the pondering. Again theoretical question only and no insults please.
1. Should Black people get reparations, and what would they do with 40 acres and a mule?
2. Why do Black people say that White people don't know what slavery is like when Every race in the history of the world has been slaves at one point or another?
3. Is it White men that have the least amount of rights due to racism and sexism?

I would like to start by saying that in no way am I a racist, but I am curious about something. Is having BET(Black Entertainment Television) racist? What would happen if there was a WET and why would that be racist? And please don't insult me I am just posing a theoretical question.

We people claim that India is a country with no superstitions in this 21st century. but we do hear evil practices like sati, baalvivaah (child-marriage), dowry-deaths, etc. still prevalent in backward areas. even in this 21st century, people refuse to proceed to their jobs if someone sneezes or a black cat walks across the road. how can all these be eradicated, especially in the backward areas?

Herewith my view. The current BB issue highlights 2 fundamentals for me. 1) If the only way we can entertain ourselves is by watching a bunch of sad, self-centred people tyring to outdo each other (in all manner of things!) live on camera, then as a society, we are really going backwards. 2) To crown it all, there is then mass indignation and hurt when people show their true colors and speak the unspoken. What else do you expect? Just because it is politically incorrect to speak out or act as a racist, thug, bully, bigot and whatever else, people do not fundamentally change who and what they are just because they are told they should. It's not Goody's fault, she was just being herself.
Unless the idea of BB is that it is some kind of Dharma project observing human behaviour (in which it also fails dismally - subject of a different discussion), I say Scrap it (and anything like it). It's purile.
