    Who has a right to force their own ideologies & concepts onto another as all this creates is more animosity in the world; the UN has a lot to answer for in my mind.

      Mar 21 2013: Maithew: ideologies & concepts are being forced upon us daily here in North America...they call it marketing. Business pushes its ideologies & concepts on our governing political system and it pushes it upon we. They do it through legislation.
