I actually respect people who are religious. They have their believes and I don't intend to stand in their way, that of course if they don't stand in mine. My sarcasm towards religious is actually due to my hate for "ultra-orthodox jews" who are religious, but THE worst people.hakkaino7 wrote: Lol... for a while there I thought this was topic was going from

I totally agree with you. Religion may be in school, as long as it is only in religion education and you can freely choose to have ethic education instead (as it is in Germany). But religion has to be kept out of any science, mathematics or whatever.Chaosangel21 wrote: Yeah me too, i don't mind other religions but don't try to force it on me, and keep it out of the schools
I do agree. It's a pity that people like that exist, but we have to get through that. You can't change everyone, be happy that you know better. At first I thought we would have someone in here as well (everyone may now guess whom I referring to), but probably I was wrong (Have you got it? If not, read the whole topic again. If you still don't know it, then there's no help for you).Kor wrote:I know that and you know that, the problem is that they know that but still decide to tell the "story" like germany is the villain and make little kids think that germans are evil people.Callid wrote: But of course it's not right to extend that to all German, especially those of nowadays, because Germany is now very contra-antisemitism.
I usually don't befriend with people with such an opinion on germany, but I do have a friend who swore to never go to germany (even though last summer he did, but not because he changed his opinion. :-\) this is how the conversation goes with him.
me: why won't you go to germany?
him: because they were responsible for the holocaust
me: the nazis were responsible for the holocaust
him: and the nazis were german
me: you know that there are no longer nazis, right?
him: yes
me: then why won't you ever go there?
him: because their not good people
me: and what have they ever done to you?
him: nothing, but because of them there was the holocaust.
it's like talking to a wall. He is a smart person, but yet he doesn't want to realize that the germans of now or not the germans of "then". The only friends I have from germany aren't even jewish and they are good people and fun to be with of course...
So if a smart person feels that way, there's something awfully wrong with the way they teach about the holocaust (at least in the early grades) and some Israeli steriotype parents who can't think for themselves and teach their children that everybody hates us.
When my german grandmother will die and I'll inherit her two apartments in munich and all her money, I'm moving the hell out of here! (I can open to discussion why I don't like my grandmother but it's pretty boring...)
Yes. But this is a political topic. We should get back to Global Warming at least, this topic is still related to politics (Religion is as well, but perhaps you could start an extra topic for that). Smileys are definitely not related to politics at all. [no smiley] I'm serious.hakkaino7 wrote: Lol... for a while there I thought this was topic was going from

Nah, I don't think that kind of topic is safe...Callid wrote: Yes. But this is a political topic.

I personally would like to discuss differences between political spectrum and situations in different countries, but feel free to suggest or write about another political topic.

I was going to write the same thing, and besides, I have a proof:hakkaino7 wrote:Nah, I don't think that kind of topic is safe...Callid wrote: Yes. But this is a political topic.

btw I just noticed this, but every time obama smiles it reminds me of smileys
You'd have to explain what political spectrum means. I'm not familiar with the english terms for politics.Callid wrote: I personally would like to discuss differences between political spectrum and situations in different countries, but feel free to suggest or write about another political topic.
the "political spectrum" refers to the different scales that are in politics, the most frequent one being republican/conservative vs democrat/liberal. So, your position on the "political spectrum" is just how conservative vs how liberal you are.Kor wrote: You'd have to explain what political spectrum means.

The political system does not have to be one-dimensional, it may also be two- or even three-dimensional; an example for two-dimensional would be conservative vs. liberal foreign policy and conservative vs. liberal internal policy.Akonyl wrote:the "political spectrum" refers to the different scales that are in politics, the most frequent one being republican/conservative vs democrat/liberal.

of course, I didn't say it was one-dimensional. As I said, there's more than one political spectrum, because of the multiple dimensions, however, the one that is most commonly used is the blanket "conservative vs liberal" spectrum.Callid wrote:The political system does not have to be one-dimensional, it may also be two- or even three-dimensional; an example for two-dimensional would be conservative vs. liberal foreign policy and conservative vs. liberal internal policy.Akonyl wrote:the "political spectrum" refers to the different scales that are in politics, the most frequent one being republican/conservative vs democrat/liberal.

You may have a liberal internal policy (human rights etc.) but still wage wars of aggression against yoor neighbours.
