WELL, I seem to have found an original question! I enjoy the forum of asking/answering questions, but when the questions coming from the Americans (I am not one) consistantly bring up the race and or religious differences in their nation, it does narrow the focus somewhat. Any intelligent answers to my question?

There are SOOOO many people here from different races, beliefs, values, opinions, and backgrounds. Everyone thinks they are right and can't understand the other people are different. I help people out as much as possible not argue or **** people off.

The thing is it is a much misunderstood issue. Also as Answers is a purely written forum where people post a question and there is one answer given, there isn't much debate about some of the quite complex issues brought up by some questions. So, I might write something in all innocence, but you might choose to read it in your own personal way. Alot of people either use race or religion as a means to have a 'chip' on their shoulder and will make some the most innocent comments into a racial or religious slur! Crazy, but that's just the way some people are!

This is a big country full of diverse people where ideas clash. Americans aren't the "only" ones to have different opinions about religion and race. Have an open mind and take a broader view of the world and what is going on in other countries and you will find that they too have issues with religion and race and social classes. Here, on questions/answers are so many topics to choose from and for the most part, people are asking and responding to other issues that have nothing to do with religion or race.

No it's just that at certain times of the day and on certain days of the week you see a lot of people who have nothing to do so they spew their venom, hate and fears.
But if you want good questions and answers go to the subjects that interest you, you will find many very very good questions and answers
Try it
Good Luck

You are quite right on that one, as I am a Canadian, and have started using the Canadian questions filter as I am sick and tired of all the ranting and raving and the racist remarks. Something that seems to be almost non-existent in the Canadian questions, which is really telling about the mindset of our two very different societies.

There are alot of problems with race relations in this country. According to the census, the major 'race' is 'white'. This group has been accused of being racist and they do not like it. Also, the major religion is Christianity and there is only a mild tolerance of people who are different.

If you read these questions carefuly, you can pretty much tell if there lagit. Some are pretending to be white, are not. Its just to cause hate amoung that race.

I know that really bothers me to. It teaches me a lot though. I think I have learned that there are so many people on this planet, and every single one of them are positive that they know everything.
