Other - Society & Culture - 31 October 2006

Line from a Moxy Fruvous song (the Gulf War Song), but it's a good question. Why do certain people get their knickers in a twist just because someone doesn't agree with them? Are they stuborn? Stupid? Insecure? Lost? Scared? Just playing mind games (which can be kind of fun sometimes)? Hankering for a fight? Or are they simply THAT close-minded?

This brings to mind another line from another song that makes sense. "The Living Years", by Mike and the Mechanics - "Say it loud, say it clear; You can listen as well as you hear. It's too late when we die at admit we don't see eye-to-eye". Somehow, I don't think they meant saying that the other person is stupid just because they don't agree with you.


What do you think? INPUT, PLEASE?

Include Christians tossed to the lions, fighting in Northern Ireland, Middle East fighting with Israel, Holocaust, witch hunts, etc. No religion is exempt.

I am trying to get a perspective on the destructive nature of religion, not blaming a specific religion. I'm not giving any religion the moral high ground here.

I want to compare religion driven deaths to wars for land acquisition or trade or purely political reasons. If you can't separate politics from religion, then it's counted in the religious total.

reach straight for there guns if they can't solve a family problem?

i was watching a program on digital tv, its was this female host who had these families of murder victims on.

and this husband had been wanting sex, but she didnt, so he got his shotgun and held it to her head until she agreed.

she went to the bathroom, until she thought he had fell asleep.

as she was trying to leave, he popped up in bed with his gun, and aimed it at her, and her first reaction was to shoot him in the head.

i found it quite odd, as i would of shot him in the hand (to get the gun out of his hand), or i would off knee-capped him. and most people i know would do the same in the situation that woman was in.

neither people were in the right ofcourse, but americans seem alot more trigger happy than in the british people, and we can guns over here, illegally ofcourse, but it IS possible.

It seems fine for society to let non whites stick to their own but whites are expected to be fine with race mixing and take in non white immigrants.

he does something wrong while doing it?

I'm supposed to be happy that he cleaned the tub and not upset that he dumped all my different shampoos into the same container. Why shouldn't I expect him to do housework every now and then? Isn't that just part of life? Noone would ever say to a man that he should be soooo grateful that she did some housework. Noone would even say that, if I were to do some "man" work such as mow the lawn. So what's with this double-standard?

Ok, I realize that you drinkers are pathetic, and you absolutely need the crutch of drinking in order to feel good about yourselves. And I do not get in your faces at parties, etc, about you needing to drink yourselves into a stupor in order to have fun. However, I can have fun without drinking, and since I do not harass you, why do you need to harass people like me who are not drinking? And you know what I men. the "come on! just have one drink!" and "can't you handle it?" remarks. When there is a bowl of punch with liquor in it for you, yet you need to spike the bowl that is supposed to be non-liquor for those that do not want or need it. What is so wrong with your lives that you cannot accept the fact that some of us can have fun without drinking, and that we just cope with our problems (most of which are probably no better or worse than your problems) without the need for a crutch?

And before anyone says it, I do not smoke, I do not do drugs, and I rarely drink coffee.

So many people smoke in cars and tip their ash in the ashtray.As the car is already a mess why do the drivers still flick the butts out of the window. Is there any logic in this or are the smokers lazy asses?

Why do people knock artists? Why is it because we dont make as much money we are less valuable? Why do art (dance, theater, or any other medium)? In theory we dont need it. But if you really believe that then you should just surrender you will to "big brother" right now. Art is key to the human existance. And personally I would rather be poor and happy then rich and cold. Thank you

Say you were in a plane crash or stranded somewhere, could you eat the dead to survive?

What would you eat first? The buttocks and breasts are quite meaty, maybe an eye for dessert?
