we are the world we are the children

[Raveendran Karunakaran]

I was really surprised to read the postings on the youngest SCJP.
What i would really want to say to one and all is that, we show our virtue and our discipline only by showing tolerance and appreciation to others.
I do agree that some people in this world (i repeat quite a few people ) in this world are taught to be intollerant to other people's beliefs and ideas. It would be our endevour to show our discipline and tolerance and make them understand what is really living together means.
I would always like to give an example of my country India. We have for ages seen different cultures bombarding us. First came the Aryans from Europe. Then the moghals from the North and then the Portugese and the English. But still we blended with these cultures we did no homicide we did no ethnic cleansing we did nothing but had a mosaic of cultures.
If we could do it? America is doing it. Most countries in the Europe are doing it. Why not the other countries do it?

I am totally

America is doing it

I am an american an i have to say yes and no to this. to a point it is true. but there are still racial/cultural problems here. It is hard to put into words but both tolerance and discrimination exist side by side here. as a "white" man here there are some of other races i accept as the same without even thinking about it but others of that same race that because of their dress or hairstyle or whatever, i dont want to talk to
gee i hope that wasnt too honest

So nice of you to accept the reality. But forget the 10% of idiots in both our countries.
Think about the others who have made a difference and have made your country a land of dreams. And my country a mosaic of cultures.

Doing what?
Blending with other cultures? Yes, that is what America is all about. We are COMPLETELY a blending of other cultures. The great melting pot.
Ethnic Cleansing? Could you possibly be meaning this?? Exactly what ethnic group would we be cleansing? Going after terrorist extremists has NOTHING to do with ethnic background.
I am totally confused.

Yes correct, if I can improve that 10% (putting) then I'll be a complete golfer, and you'll soon see my name on the PGA tour list as a "Tiger Hunter"
but please... I am still
