Oyajid: that´s exactly my point. Those who focus only in one aspect, tend to miss the whole truth. And the ones who do so, are as dangerous as extremist - who also can´t see the whole, they focus in just one point. These ¨focusists¨ are the ones who tend to judge other cultures and don´t observe their own.

Muchakucha, Yuki 51, HonestDictator:
As I said to MK, you are focusing on the negative points of Islam and projecting them. To me it´s still alright, its teachings are superb. Only that human conditions can distort it. But as I stated above, all religions have their beauty distorted at some point. White wine anyone?

Also, "Obama & other leaders are cleaning the dirty left behind by Mr. Bush and officials." Are we going to hear that for the next four years, or eight if he goes for re-election?
You think it´s not fair to bring the past administration when we talk about the world collapse. But is it okay to bring only 100 days of current one into this same object? Give the man a break. What was done wrongly in 8 years will take longer than one year to be fixed.

Muchakucha: your point is to pay attention to the negative points in the Islamic doctrine and projecting them. As I said, to me Islam is ok, there´s just the last 5 years of heavy propaganda as someone wrote above. Propaganda does miracles, as we see.

TP: anyone who reads at least one paper can provide examples. Do you read them?
What about IRA? the African albinos? the mutilation of women in Eastarn Africa? Or the political fueled ones: China in Tibet, to mention one.

Muchakucha: I don´t see modernization anywhere when it comes down to these ancient religions. My point is that we can not point the finger, as many do, when our own religion is not that perfect. Being Christian, this fresh episode of that German bishop about the Holocaust is enough to put me in the right place. Not to mention the Inquisition. So, I don´t think it´s fair to judge Muslins. If one wants to judge, then let´s create a whole enquete with all the biggest modern religions.
And if you see barbarism in Islam, you are right. But do not single Islam out. There are even worse things done in name of other gods and beliefs. And, and this is a big And, if there are extremists in some countries, or regions, they do not speak of the whole majority.
Your indignation towards Islam makes us infer that your own religion has reached an elevation that Islam has not yet? What is it? I am curious here...answering your question, as I said above, I am Christian Kardecist and I am aware that my own doctrine is full of flaws.

I am an intelligent human being, I do not need a book to tell me how to live a good life.
I am intelligent too, but I am humble enough to tell you that I have to read books to learn. It must be good to learn just by breathing, congratulations!
Muchakucha: You think wife-beating and the slaying of infidels and apostates is beautiful?
of course not. But I know to tell ancient laws from modern society. Christians, Jewish, any religion has its ancient laws that do need modernization - now you can´t judge a whole culture based on these laws.
And your history lesson is laughable.
yeah, I may laugh. It was not my people who had their land stolen. Honestly, as a Christian I have found more sincerity and friendship among Muslins than, say, the famous land-robbers. That´s what matters to me, not their religion.

It is more accurate to say ¨...in Washington really **didn´t **understand...¨
Obama & other leaders are cleaning the dirty left behind by Mr. Bush and officials.

The Coran is one of the best ¨how to conduct yourself¨ in terms of spirituality. It´s right there with the Sermon on the Mount of Jesus Christ. Nowadays, the problem is not Islam, which is beautiful. Problem is the suffering the Islam followers have been inflicted the last 100 years, with the peak in 1958. These people have been misunderstood, have their land stolen in plain day-light, and have been accused and said criminals, when the truth is that they are victims.

I disagree with some cities in this list. So Tokyo is a best place to have a meal than Rome? If you don´t mind salt-less food and restaurants that look like airport terminals, then this list suits you. To me, Lisbon, Ankara, other simple-sophisticaded cuisines are much better than Tokyo and Copenhagen for instance.
Posted in: Tokyo is the best food city hands down. That's where chefs are going for innovations. There's also a history of food traditions. They are so far ahead of us.

lolol. Such an education these players are getting: ¨let´s be losers!¨. Unfortunately this situation happens even in World Cups. I read someplace that Argentina got its second WC title, in 1978?, after paying Paraguay or Uruguay to lose a game that if won won´t matter to them. But this situation in Japan is sad because it´s children, not avid adults playing.

tantantanuki Biden said the exact opposite is true, and former President George W Bush’s vice president was part of a dysfunctional decision-making system." (italics added)
+1. Thank God that US got rid of those two. Biden is realistic, he doesn´t lie on your face or has a hidden second agenda, as Chenney had.

rooting for North Korea. Hope that being in such an important event will help citizens to realize there´s a whole new world. I still feel sad when I remember the images of all those little children starving to death in community centers that NG showed sometime ago.

All this debacle was caused by Bush. It´s basic economics: back in the 90s, all Latin America were surprisingly for the so-called AFTA (All Americas Free Trade Agreement) which would create the biggest free-trade region in the world. Despite all disputes involving agriculture (LA) and services (US, Canada), negotiations were moving on gradually. It was something to observe, given the resentment Latinos had towards USA for their sponsoring of some Militar rules back in the 70s. Some countries were prepared for the last step on AFTA, which would be a referendum - just like the old gool EU. Latin Americans, friendly by nature, embraced the notion of a better future, with equally divided healthy and a continent with no borders in a distant future. But then came Bush with his international hatred-politics and all of a sudden the whole world came to see USA as a s%t country. Easy then for the socialists to ride on this boat and get elected based on ¨America is no good¨ campaigns. And voila! here´s what we see: Chavez & Co. elected. So, truly, Obama has a lot of work to clean the s%t that Bush and Friends left behind.

to me it´s ok. After a hiatus of almost two years after my last girlfriend I met a guy in a bar and we ended up under the covers the first time. He was nice, kind and sex was only a deeper way of knowing each other.

Problem is that MJ can be the first step in a ladder that in most cases will lead to violence. After MJ, soon comes ecstasy, and later the two together, then coke...and so on.

poor girl. We just can hope it was fast. But I didn´t like the last paragraph. Humans, and their responsibles, must avoid close contact with large animals.
