      Jul 3 2012: Most of us think that cultures should survive to see the errors of their ways. I am glad no one killed off my culture in its primative stages.

        Jul 4 2012: maybe i misused the word kill, the thing is i really would love to see a world that appreciate humans for being humans, you cannot imagine how irritating is to see a world based on poor vs rich, Christians vs Jewish vs Muslims, etc ... my dream or lets say a fairy dream is to have an earth were we are just humans despite any believes or ideology we adopt. its like eliminating the bad sides of the above and keeping the bright and good one.

        i don't know how much convincing is my thought, but i would love to hear what people think of such debate.

          Jul 4 2012: Hi Ayd!
          Thanks for clarifying your point. it helps me understand better. I agree that dividing people is a poor idea and finding commonalities is important. Please do not give up on it as a fairy dream, though. I live in Canada and most of my life's history has been lived in a place where your dream is a reality or at least a cherished ideal. We are human so differences still stand out more than they should but we have excellent human rights legislation in my opinion that keeps us mostly on track toward fulfilling that ideal.
