Indians and their IT.. :D Impressive and since it is the age of the geek I see a bright future for India (and all other countries that do the same) if the stick with this IT stuff. I read about the 26 dollar tablet-PC from India (that's one night out drinking!). Is that out already? (I...

lol@ sarcastic smiley comment, I totally agree ^_^

Yes, on an almost weekly bases in places like Nigeria. Yes, in Iraq for example. No, but if they did I couldn't care less. Human lives are much more valuable than any book... -.-

lol I wish. Actually most Media outlets decided to ignore the actual burning after having reported EXHAUSTIVELY on his intention weeks ago. This lack of coverage now was intended to prevent crazy Muslims from killing people over this and of course this decision wasn't universal, but decided...

Interestingly the burning was not reported on in the US media and deliberately kept quiet in most western media but Karsai of all people seems to have announced it to the Afghans.. (Ally my a$$...) I actually only heard about it when the violent reaction had already taken place.

Some of you might have seen it already but in case you haven't :woot: If this is heaven, I will become a believer ;)

I hope you aren't serious. That would be absurd.

Amen to that from Germany... Long but worth reading.

Since their is no way for you to prove that and no way for me to check if that is true (or do you have reliable sources?), I don't think I have to accept that as a 'fact'.

Why would they find inspiration in Egypt? India is a secular, democratic state. Muslims are not oppressed by the government in India. Yes there is great social and religious tension but that is hardly a one-sided issue. It seems to me the situation in the two countries is very different in...

Now all the hypocrites who vehemently called for the take-down of the "Everybody draw Mohammed-Day" Facebook page (a harmless if "insulting" endeavor) are of course outraged and want this one calling for violence reinstated... :rolleyes: Oh and it is a conspiracy.. of course :lol: Everything...

Is that a joke? Because it is kind of funny to me given the evidence to the contrary.

Hi, just cruising over friends of friends profiles, but I gotta ask: Who is the hottie in your picture? :D Btw. Carl Sagan is one of the most inspiring people I have ever listened to. Too bad he died before my time..

Excellent Article in the Economist: http://www.economist.com/node/18441153 Also an interesting map of the diplomacy going on and the reasons for the different behavior of different nations: http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/03/no-fly_zone_diplomacy

I mean the referendum they past a couple of weeks ago in Egypt. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/21/world/middleeast/21egypt.html?ref=world The didn't abolish article 2 and also they didn't leave enough time for liberal democrats and secular groups to organize thereby greatly strengthening the...

Well, a political revolution would be more important but well educated young people are an excellent bases so once the old tyrants are hanged you know were to go from there.. unlike Egypt who apparently is moving backwards rather than forward.. This is not surprising btw, out of all immigrants...

That doesn't sound like a smart move at all.. oO and I don't think it would be legal, because of the arms embargo.

"Virginity test" you honestly think obsession with female virginity has nothing to do with religion? I am not "bringing religion" into anything on purpose, Religion poisons everything. It might be "old" to you, but it is still a big part of human tragedy. It is hard to imagine that particular...

that's sick. Religion is always so obsessed by female sexuality it would be funny if it didn't lead to such sick consequences (the thread being a very mild case). I guess men in many countries remain essentially scared of women. QED this case.

If this is "World Affairs" so is Astrology.
