Other - Cultures & Groups - December 2007

Or just too lazy?

Im not talking about thinking for the purpose of solving a
problem. Im talking about an earnest ponderance.

People seem to only grasp concepts in terms of either/or. For example, right and wrong - much of this is a grey area that requires a great amount of deliberation, but people seem to only adhere dogmatically to what others have told them.

When a person is put on trial the goal is for him to "win" the case. The jury is asked to pick a winner, not to determine the actual truth and arrive at an fair resolution.

It appears that in order to be understood by the laity complex concepts need to be broken down to opposing choices.
It appears as though people often avoid activites that require strenuous thought.

Is this the case?

I know the official meaning of the Indian flag's colors is something like:

Orange/saffron: sacrifice
white: peace
green: faith

But I heard a theory that the colors also mean:

Orange: Hinduism
White: Christianity
Green: Islam

It seems to make sense because those colors do go with those religions, and they're India's three biggest religions. But other people told me that it's not true. So what do you think, is that just a rumor or is it true?

Many women say they endure abuse for years from men because they feel men are the stronger sex
Other women say there is a mother instinct to stay with the children regardless of the pain that is caused bye the men
Some men say no one is twisting their arms. They are adults and chose to marry or bre with Them willingly
Some men say they are not only stronger physically but can use their mental power to show how weak women are
Some men say if they wish to be abused, why not take advantage and hang on to a good thing
One woman worked two jobs plus did all acts that he wished willingly. All concerned are adults
All if you choose to answer anyway who consider this boring, weird or not answerable should find other questions to answer. However , your response is respected and will be read.

Its been shown, that I person that is only half black can say they are black, and be accepted as Black. What happens when a half black/half white person says they are white. Well white people accept that?

____im not racist at all, but i was just wondering. if black people hate the word so much then why do they say it. Young Buck says it 50 times per song. Every one gets so mad when other people say it, but calling some cracker is ok to say?

Im doing a report on the Holocaust and thought Id have symbols of all the groups that were chosen for extermination in the camps. So far, I have three out of many. The Star of David for Jews, hammer and sicle for communists, and a donkey for democrats. I need symbols for homosexuals (anything other than a rainbow? isnt there a triangle or something?), Gypsies, Jehovas Witnesses, and socialists.

If you have any other groups to add (I know there were many) and have a symbol for them, thatd also be great.

Thanks

I'm just wondering, and not to pity or diss at the homeless, but if there was a homeless guy alone with no relatives, how can they get a job if they have no (or lost) their SIN#, IDs, and etc, and got no bank accounts? Are there any special service to get them? But how can ppl know if the homelesses are actually THEM because they have no IDs what soever? It almost feels like they can create a whole new "them"

Like, honestly? There is so much proof of it happening, yet to this day people deny that the Holocaust happened. What are the arguments? Also, what are the Muslim reasons for denial?

Please dont give me piece of crap answers like, because theyre German or because theyre stupid or because theyre ignorant. To me no one is stupid if they can intelligently back up their answer and convince people of something. Just look at Adolf Hitler. If someone can give me an actual answer, preferably from an actual Holocaust denier, then thatd be great.

Thanks
