okay, not funny. i didn't care before but I'm really pissed about this. not just this once incident but peoples ignorance towards religion in general.and as I said it's not like I'm defending the muslim faith because lately my personal beliefs on religion have been iffy and i'm trying to figure out what i personally think. now I feel like what is beginning to happen to muslim people is what happened to japanese people around pearl harbor, the anti sentiment in the nation that actually put them in concentration camps? not too long ago...you don't think this nation is still capable of that? i think it's a stretch but still under the right circumstances given the right situation people will do anything out of fear to innocent people, it's still possible. yeah america is the greatest nation in the world right now but every great empire falls, look at history. I have a feeling if people don't stop bullshit like this we are going to see that fall within our lifetime and we are going to feel regret. Also theres is a tremendous difference ( ... )

That was the first thing I thought when I read that, how the hell is this not on every major news station? I watch the local news here every day (I only have ABC/NBC), Dayton is only about a half hour away from Columbus, and I didn't see any mention of it.

Ignorance is Bliss in this country duuuuh nowherefast04 September 30 2008, 22:16:03 UTC
Your right not funny... Hilarious! Because every religious group has its fanatical side. How can anyone not be ignorant... unless your like buddist er something. Think about it. Religion is a tool modeled by everyone's ancestors to keep them in line, make them do there bidding, and keep them afraid of consequence, its perfect for political landscapes, because if the people are afraid of their government because god is tied into it, not only will they be executed but they will go to "hell". But America is different, because we try (and i use the word loosely) to seperate governemtn and religion... everyone is free to do what they need to do to get their jollies along as long as it doesnt depict a clear and present danger. So that seperates the american people into factions, believers and non believers alike... christians catholics protestants muslims jews athiests and pots of golden rainbows and red balloons. When you seperate a country and throw them into a big melting pot there is going to be ignorance, and when neighboring countries ( ... )

As far as the media is concerned, america is based on minority meddles and majority rules, the dvd is gay as hell, but majority of the people here feel threatened by middle eastern countries because of dare i say 9/11, the fact that isreal and palestine are still being gay about shit, and the fact that natural resources are based upon that area of the world and are effecting everyone's economy. The majority of puritans here who probably voted republican for the last 8 years think those countries are to blame for everything, and since most people are stupid and they tie in faith with politics, they think if you are from that country that you believe the same thigns they do and ultimately are trying to harm their way of life also. So when you throw a frantic animal in a melting pot with people they are forced to to be around and dont trust... they might end up biting them. The media reflects the majority because thats what gives them ratings. They would rather talk about muslim terrorists because its all run by whitey. Through out ( ... )
