So now some of us, myself included are terrorists.

1371777 2014-04-02 05:47:00 Oh well, it's not like the Middle East (esp. Saudi Arabia) is high on my list of places to visit.

But it WOULD be ironic, visiting an area as an atheist-cum-terrorist known (to the 'civilised' world) for producing 99.99% of all terrorists...

1371782 2014-04-03 01:17:00 Not that long ago the Civilized Cristian World was burning woman as witches .
and persecuting races based on the color of you skin.
laws persecuting gays : only changed not that long ago.
and putting one race into ovens, while the church officials conspired with this.

So, is the civilized 'western' world any better ?

Yes, if for no reason than the 'western' world is becoming less intolerant (I won't yet say more tolerant, just less intolerant) of these things, while others, such as a topic's target, are getting worse.

If you stick around for another 500 years or so you may find that the human race is getting a little more civilized than it is now however I suspect we will not have changed all that much.

1371785 2014-04-03 21:12:00 It took a few thousand years for the western world to ACTUALLY become civilized/tolerant . That only really happened in the past 30-ish years .

Why do we now expect other developing countries to become as tolerant, instantly & on our terms ?
who are we to even dictate what should be right & wrong, what is acceptable & what is not ?
why do we try & force our western political system on other countries, & punish them if they reject it & put in a system that
better suits them & actually gives some stability .

Just because its our way of thinking, doesnt make it right everywhere .
Im sure some of these countries will look at the state 'Western' countries: crime,welfare dependance, rampant dishonesty, rampant drug abuse (booze) & think we are the uncivilized ones
