It's one thing to want to be americanized, and it's another thing to want to be "americanized". To come to america, immediately convert to Christianity, change your name to Paul, isn't americanization, it's an attempt to conform to some your backgrounds. To come to america, accept liberal...
As a Hindu, I agree with the statements about the age of the universe, the age of the world, and the insignificance of the Human race.
To begin with, it
In all honesty, I think the sprinkling of Rose Water and chanting of spells sounds pretty un-Islamic. I'd be surprised if he yelled Allah ho Akbar hai.
Of course, I could also see God sitting up there wanting to backhand him for being such an idiot.
The only pity is that even though he's a...
As an Asian-american, I've noticed that there is a great instilled idea of ethnocentricism and racism that runs though the South Asian community in the United States. Unlike what most people would think, the racism is directed more strongly against the African American individuals.
Common...
Actually, as americans...we always need a bad guy. The American public, due to it's long standing relationship with the Classical Hero myth; the Travails of the Cowboy, and the modern Super-man obsession, always needs a bad guy.
It's a pity that our nation sees things in such crisp and clear...
Oh damn we've got a bunch of hippie-haters here.
Maybe it's best to state where I am on a personal level.
I'm a strict Hindu who does Lakshminarayan Puja every morning before going to classes. This involves doing surya namaskaram at 6 am and then doing Vishnu Sahasranaam (reciting the 1008...
I never during my previous post did I ever mention that I wanted an open marriage. I just said that it's something that people should start to consider.
I agree that relationships aren't about sex. The perfect relationship is one that is based off of mutual understanding, respect, and...
Personally, I'm all up for open marriages as long as both individuals know about the situation and there are reassurances made to prevent the spread of STDs (testing and safe sex).
I think it's a great way to bring new sexual excitement to a relationship and hey, it's fun. In america today...
Laden is sorta like the cookie monster. LOL
The only point of my last post was my reaction against a post by Mohammad_Rots_in_Hell.
Sadaam Hussein = Adolf Hitler
Bin Laden = Heinrich Himmler
Taliban = Gestapo
Islamic Fundamentalists = The SS
I guess I can sort of see that.
Islam = The Nazi...
Elmo = Adolf Hitler
You might wonder why? Think about this, a highly beloved public figure. Often considered to be very loving of children. However, creates a new and perfect world which places individuals of contradicting opinions (other Sesame Street characters) outside where they're...
For one, I'm not running through fields of roses screaming peace. I feel that war is a necessity in many situations; ie/ self-defence, protection, and maintaining of stability.
However, I'm not about to jump onto your boat and run around killing muslims either. Maybe it's because I'd lose...

Hi everyone, I'm back!
I haven't really had a computer for awhile. So checking out this forum hasn't been really possible. But now I return. Anyway.
To begin with, fie on violent protesters. It doesn't prove a religion is peaceful, if protesters are killing people.
But let's speak with...
it's cool! :) i'm not too irritated...let me make a point also that I'm not a scholar about my religion. I'm not related to any priests and i'm only a second year college student...but as long we're at an understanding! :) :) Just that some people have been really rude about it to me in the...
Ok, I'm a Hindu and to start off with let me get the point across that I have no problems with your beliefs. In truth I have supported your faith in many other forums. I'm sure that you would deal with my faith with the same respect that I give to yours.
To begin with, Hindus do say that god...
