Re: Weird

Alright I give up…finally someone has picked up on this. And that “someone” is none other than our little friend queer. Psyah and I always plan this to end this way. I start a thread. Everyone gets pissed. I lose interest. And then Psyah takes it on to keep the thread alive. We have this propaganda to brainwash each and every guppy on this forum including our little friend queer. 24/7 psyah and I are working on this sacred cause. Our lives revolve around gupshup and all the guppies and guppans…there I admit it all!

What is your opinion on the violent response of the “injured” people in this link?

Re: Weird

[note]Let us all get back to the original topic. It has gone way offtrack.[/note]

In recent news, a New York High School principal had to apologize to some upset parents because the school decided to hold a Diversity Week. It is/was a good idea, because it’s the essence of what being a citizen of America is. The country does not have an official language, and its’ very founders were themselves immigrants. Since the inception of what we today call United States of America, it has been a choice destination for immigrants seeking a more comfortable lifestyle with easily accessible amenities that life offers, as well as attainable living for any level of education. If you have a skill, you can probably find a job more often than not.

With the many positives the country has to offer, it does suffer from a few toxic vices. One of those which became apparent very quickly in this incident is the level of ignorance that people have, which they feel others need to adopt or risk a blacklash. Case in point, and parts of article pasted below to provide context:

Arabic pledge sparks controversy at New York school

How absolutely ignorant must a person be to have absolutely no clue about a country whose main languages are Pashtu, Dari, and some Urdu. A vast majority of Afghan people do not speak Arabic except for when praying. Oh and then there’s the bit about a Jewish family getting upset over it? Haven’t the followers of Judaism also migrated to U.S.A?

I do appreciate the many commentators who tried to highlight the ignorance while simultaneously battling newly generated comments from people with little or no knowledge, within the comments section. Is this an inherent problem within a majority of the public, or just the fact that we see the ignorant who are in minority being highlighted?

I do not think the school should have had to apologize because if the pledge was in any other language, the ultra patriots would have had no objections. And this fact is apparent from a failed attempt to get upset over an American Citizen declaring his/her citizenship in his/her native language and then attempting to link to an emotional issue in order to garner public support. I am sure if they are sincere, they will feel ashamed for their ignorance because the faux link between Afghanistan, Arabic language, Pledge of U.S.A., Jewish heritage are all separate entities, and have no logical link in this instance. (Recall Melting Pot?). If the same people had been honest with themselves and said they object to the pledge in Arabic because they despise Islam, it may have been closer to the truth and perhaps what their hearts hold; Allah alone knows what people intend and what is in the heart of each individual.

It’s absolutely depressing how people who know absolutely nothing about a country, have never been to a country, can speak as if experts for that very country.

Thankfully a visible majority of the Americans (of all colors, creeds, and ethnic backgrounds) condemn ignorance whenever, wherever possible. It is entirely possible that often the outsiders confuse the bias of media with the thought process of a general populace. There are ignorant members of the public, but at the same time, there are those who do their best to neutralize the effects of ignorance. It’s unfortunate that often the population molds its’ mindset based on what is found on the media, rather than doing their own research to discover/verify the facts and separate the facts from opinions.

It’s still a good country to live in for immigrants.

Re: Weird

Ah, I would question the responders in this case seriously. The dynamics are quite different, because within a society where they should be aware of the legal consequences of doing such a thing let alone the social consequences then the woman should have been protected until brought to court. In this case insult could not be a natural conclusion for the act of the woman and that act of extrajudicially even harming her slightly is heinous and condemnable.

Burning a Qur’an requires an investigation, making mock imagery of the holy prophet (SAW) is however clear in its intent, even then, injury of mockery only really tends to result in problems when and by a system that is in power or elements within a system that allows such a thing to proliferate. Some people would say she had it coming, in a similar way to how a black man would punch a white man should he shout the n word in his territory in the US, may be even get stabbed for saying it. I’m not saying any of this is right … I was merely arguing how best to prevent violence and that is to avoid doing acts that will harm the sentiments of others, but ultimately there is another side of the spectrum too as you have stated … And that is people are hyper-sensitive and bloodthirsty and require little cause to act out what they want to do anyway. Yes, in those cases I would condemn the reactors and hold them more accountable.
