They also believe that the only thing that can cure dissension within one’s own country is to kill off the dissidents.

Love in my Mind has 4 differnt Meanings, Each of them is word in Greek which when translated in to english means Love. Each word has a Different Meaning.
Eros (ἔρως) is Romantic Love, the type Charle and Jing should experiance. I don’t love Jing in this manner. (Your Stament is True,)
Philia (φιλία) is Friendship Love. And I love Everyone on here. (Your Stament is False, since I do think as her as a friend)
Agape (ἀγάπη) is commonaly called Divine love. And Since I beleve in God who Loves me. I receive this love.
Storge (στοργή) is the love for ones Famly members. Since I do have a family. (Although I’ve not started my own yet), I give and recive this love.

Sound of squealing wheels as the Thread returns to its original topic :eek:
We don’t need multiculturalism. What we need is a single WORLD CULTURE that the entire human race can feel part of. Things like national music, modes of dress, etc. can be preserved, as long as the BASIC rights of humanity are considered more important than anything else. Fortunately, we seem to be heading in that direction, as information becomes available to more and more people. :hint:
Yay for diversity! We have catgirls!
Anyway, allow me to translate.
ahem
Culture is the lens through which we view life. People who see differently will bump against each other, and will find it hard to agree where some things lie. The only way to avoid such conflict is to homogenize your culture. Just don’t pasteurize it; kills the taste.

thats a funny answer. lol. thats a funny way to tell him u going to tell him.
I disagree. I’d rather not be part of a huge super-culture that everybody is a part of. I’d prefer to stay what I am, as it’s far more interesting than belonging to a club that everyboy else belongs to as well.
Interesting? No. Maybe more comfortable, but trust me, being in some kind of subculture is much more lively. Subcultures have their own magazines, nightclubs, wardrobes and slang; supercultures have a car and 2.5 kids.
I prefer to just do what I like rather than immediately identify with any subculture. The only one I could say I fit 100% into is the ‘gamer’ spectrum, which is in itself very, very broad. I only say that since I half-fit into the various gamer subsects (RPGamer, P+P RPGs, Strategy, PC and Console, a whole bunch)
No one truly fits into any culture. Furthermore, subcultures succeed by setting themselves apart from the superculture(s) they reisde in, so those who wholeheartedly identify with a particular subculture are either posers or the very rare coincidence.
I’d reccomend a book by one Anneli Rufus, <i>Party of One: The Loner’s Manifesto</i>. Any “member” of a subculture will find that they recognize bits of themselves in some of the descriptions therein; often not from a profile of a member of their particular subculture. In the end, any subculture you “join” is a label, not your identity itself.
You and nutter would be a good couple, cuz you’re both idiots.
Awwww, how cute! Wit causes you to resort to insults; that’s so sweet!
Have a doughnut.
:hahaha;
I…
I… uh…
I have a penis… blush
drama!
You sure about that?
As I mentioned, things like fashions, music, hobbies, etc. can be preserved in a Global Culture. It’s the IMPORTANT things like life and freedom that everyone should agree on. It makes me angry to see there are still groups, religions and nations that abuse basic human rights on the excuse that “our culture must be preserved.” You can see an example in an episode of Teen Titans, where the alien girl Starfire is forced to marry against her will; the Titans want to help her, but she turns them down, saying (basically) that such are the ways of her people and they should respect them (even when she herself was obviously miserable because of the situation.) This was, of course, based on the arranged marriages that are still part of many human cultures today. What surprised me is that none of the characters came up with a speech to counter that point; they were going to let her get married! Of course, everything gets solved by the end, but in a way that sidestepped the controversy. I couldn’t help but think, “Man, what PC cop-out!”
Yeah I agree. I think the great part about multiculturalism is all the different cultures being together, yet still being different. I’d like to think most people like to be different from others in their own way, and different cultures uhhh i don’t know where i’m going with this.
