[QUOTE="namjiwankaur, post: 169508, member: 13793"] Seems he forgot that when the pilgrims landed in North America, we refused to become like the indigenous ppl of that time...Native Americans kept the country beautiful for God-only-knows how long, then white men come and make a mess of the land within a couple centuries. (Please note I'm white with European ancestors so I'm not bashing a race. Hope it doesn't appear that way). I don't mean this in a prejudiced way. I mean it as a serious criticism of what is ailing our America (I speak mostly from my perspective as a citizen in the US). There has always been someone for Americans to bully. African Americans were treated horribly long after slavery ended. There is always a group being singled out. For a while it was people who looked like they came from Japan, then Polish and Russian people, then people from Puerto Rico and now anyone with brown skin. Muslims and Sikhs aren't the first religious groups discriminated against either. We can go way back to the Salem Witch Trials and wiccans & pagans spent centuries being called "satan worshippers". Only in the last decade are pagan soldiers allowed pentacles on their graves at Arlington. Sadly, we live in a part of the world which is desperately deprived of nourishment for the heart. And its only gotten worse in the last decade with an exhausted economy. We spent decades getting more-more-more. Families have gotten smaller, but houses have gotten bigger. Cars have to be status symbols & clothes, too. We create so much trash that I can't but wonder what archeologists (sp?) will label us in a couple hundred years (if we have annihilated the human race and killed off all other forms of life. So when some dude goes off on how hard it is for him to look at people who put God before keeping up with the Joneses, we just have to recognize him for what he is...a shallow and sad being who is probably miserable deep down inside. He is probably jealous, but not aware of it. To be so superficial must be very difficult. I used to get angry. Now I get sad more. We are not handling it well that the generations before us lost sight of what really matters. Dave has forgotten that his own ancestors were once new to this country. And chances are they came here for a better life than they had back home. And chances are they kept many of the traditions of the culture they left behind. BUT its one thing to get frustrated with the latest group of emigrants and another to show complete disregard for the basic human rights of others that guys like Dave take so much for granted. Hope this doesn't get me kicked off of SPN. I really like it here. If I've stepped over the line, let me know. If I broke rules, please delete this post and explain which mistakes I should avoid making in the future. Love to All. :mundabhangra: [/QUOTE]
