A Muslim teenager was murdered by her parents for bringing “shame” on her Pakistani-born parents by leading a Western way of life and trying to go on dates with boys in the UK. by douchebag_duryodhanain worldnews

You obviously are not aware of certain cultures or religions that demand loyalty to that ideology above that of your own family. Any and all totalitarian ideologies for instance demand this to the point where divisions are actively fostered to break down those traditional, instinctive family bonds to cultivate loyalty to the collective.

Suicide blast kills more than 100 Yemeni troops at parade rehearsal - CNN.com by jimmies-sanin worldnews

Laura Roslin: We are talking about people blowing themselves up!

Colonel Saul Tigh: You know, sometimes I think you got icewater in those veins and other times I think you're just a naive little schoolteacher. I've sent men on suicide missions in two different wars now and let me tell you something. It don't make a gods damn bit of difference whether they're riding in a Viper or walking out onto a parade ground. In the end, they're just as dead. So take your piety and your moralizing and your high minded principles and stick 'em someplace safe until you're off this rock and sitting in your nice comfy chair on Colonial One again.

Col. Saul Tigh: So take your piety and your moralizing and your high minded principles and stick them some place safe... I've got a war to fight.

"In Athens, the homeless are on the streets in growing numbers, soup kitchens feed twice as many people as a year ago, and the poor are diving into garbage bins in search of scrap they can sell. Greece is close to breaking point as it struggles with austerity targets set by creditors" by trot-trotin worldnews

The South has been subsidizing countries like Germany for decades. It is the poorer members of the Eurozone that have fuelled Germany's export boom. Merkel however, refuses to correct the problem through transfer payments. It is a great indictment of Europe's disunity.

I know, that was that was the joke.

I guess those initially downvoting didn't get the reference..

I was raised Muslim, and now Atheist. My friend sent this to me because she thought it would guilt me into accepting Islam. by superschmancyin atheism

[–]MrHappyMan 0 points1 point ago

Women are property in the Abrahamic religions. My sister genuinely thinks I've been duped and that the true Islam is all fairies and rainbow dust.

Well, you were smarter than me. Same sister handed me The Shadows tape. I was young and impressionable. It had quite a profound effect on me and for the first time, I was afraid of hell. I was young and impressionable. Coincidentally, it was the very idea of hell that made me realise it was all bullshit in the first place. Beneficient & Merciful=will spend every third verse reminding you he'll burn you in hell.

Do your family know?

Balance for boxing. by blackmamba527in Boxing

[–]MrHappyMan 1 point2 points ago

In terms of balance dude, skipping is designed to train the sort of dynamic balance we need as fighters. So long as you're hitting the bag/pads/shadow boxing and skipping, you'll be training your balance too. You are bound to go off balance during certain punches like power punches (this is what makes counter-punchers so dangerous). Hope that answers your question.

I was raised Muslim, and now Atheist. My friend sent this to me because she thought it would guilt me into accepting Islam. by superschmancyin atheism

[–]MrHappyMan 0 points1 point ago

And thus we come to the issue of double-think and indoctrination.

You're not a scholar, you don't speak Arabic, translation is inaccurate, taken out of context, Islam says mothers are to be respected the most of all!

I even got told I was making the whole sex-slave thing up.

It's funny because I didn't really learn the extent of the horrors of Islam til I'd long since given up on the faith. I even went through a hardcore religious phase before coming out.

What came first for you?

I was raised Muslim, and now Atheist. My friend sent this to me because she thought it would guilt me into accepting Islam. by superschmancyin atheism

[–]MrHappyMan 0 points1 point ago

I wrote a fairly detailed post on this very topic a while back.

Cool. A (former) Muslim girl who realised "Islam gives women rights and elevated them/respects them!" etc etc ad nauseum was nonsense. You must be pretty smart. Too many people I know haven't figured it out and probably never will.

How'd you get out?

Irrelevant. It's in the hadiths.

Psychologists now believe fledgling psychopaths can be identified as early as kindergarten by Ze_Cariocain science

[–]MrHappyMan 4 points5 points ago*

The issue of Psychopaths is the single most important question in the history of humanity.

If we were able to identify Psychopaths before they were able to commit major crimes, we could reduce a tremendous amount of human suffering.

Imagine no 2008 financial crisis. Imagine no genocide. Image no totalitarian regimes. Imagine no cults. Imagine no serial killers, serial rapists, serial child molesters.
