Other - Society & Culture - 31 January 2007

I am British, but I have visited America, met a lot of Americans abroad, and had American friends on my home turf. I have found them to be very nice, polite and well-mannered, both the ladies and gentlemen, and by-and-large very well educated.

Now I know this is of course not representative of the whole US population (an observation that works both ways, of course), but do we really have to lay in to each other so much? Our nations are allies, have been since the Independence.

Isn't it sad when we're at war together in the Middle East (justified or not), with very few other friends, and yet we have to bicker between ourselves? It verges on pathetic.

The total lack of respect for our nation's war veterans (particularly as far as WW2 is concerned) on this site is sickening; the Americans saved us, no they didn't, yes they did etc etc.

Can't we just accept that tens of millions of our guys, girls and children died so we could slander them 60 years on?

Let's get along?

Just look on the Internet. Actually just look on Yahoo Answers. . Obviously, people still think the same things they did 60 years ago. Only today, they are afraid to say it in public. But the anonymity of the Internet allows them to express how they truly feel about other races. So why delude ourselves into thinking that racism is dying when it's really alive and well...just hiding?

I was watching a programme the other night about swingers, and I was taken aback as to how nice and normal and polite everyone was
So was wondering what everyone else thought, do you think they are dirty immoral seedy people or just like your everyday normal nice people having adult consential fun?

Different races stuck to a specific continent.

Examples:

All the black (African American, Afro Caribbean etc) people all over the world go to Africa.

All the Caucasian Americans to Europe etc.

God put us all there to begin with. Maybe we shouldn't have moved!

Im not pretentious to think that others cant think for theirselves.I believe people can make their OWN choices.To me NO abortion is the right CHOICE, but we have to offer a choice first.Taking away freedom to choose would kill the idealogy of what Americans fought & died for. Jesus taught compassion and not to judge thats why im PROCHOICE.

Abortion is a medical procedure that should be discussed btwn the woman & her doctor. Ive no right to go thru anyones medical records. You have no right to go thru mine.
Im AGAINST abortion.I DESPISE abortion & if I were a woman Id NEVER have one.Im male & wouldnt know how it is so I wont JUDGE her circumstances. I wouldn't know if she was raped, whether the pregnancy will hurt her and the child's health, psych problems etc. Its NOT my business. Its a SENSITIVE issue. Its a MEDICAL issue btwn her and her M.D.
Just like war. War is KILLING. RIGHT? Many INNOCENT babies INNOCENT & adults die in war. But do u support war?

Excuse my ignorance, are there any Muslim-Indians who are proud of India and love India's heritage or do most Indian-Muslims identify more with Pakistan or Bangladesh?
