I'm also of the view that Nazism or communists or any other dogma itself is not the issue - it's the continual desire of people to ignore empirical evidence (especially historical) that proves these are all shit ideas. Witness the thread on Marxism recently - was tried in many many countries all resulting in bloodshed , poverty and absurd wealth gaps.

The usual: You want to be enlightened. I'm sorry I can't narrow this subject down to a one-line-headline for you.
However, this is what I said: | Quote: | |  | | | .....
The difference is the Nazi-minded people don't act on their believes (at the moment) because they see no benefit in dying for their believes (no virgins "up there" waiting for them, life within their present social-security-society is not gruesome enough yet). | | | | | You claim I said they are not identifiable. (Or maybe you just wanted to make others believe I did).
Language, this misunderstood creation .... | Quote: | |  | | | So, enlighten me. There are nazis that don't act like nazis but they are identifiable. what are the signs i should look for? a swastika-like aura? | | | | | Not identifiable. Seriously?
However, I leave you to it once more. Short sentences in bold print are not my way of communicating. And the "so you are saying ..." fashion neither. |

How do you identify a nazi that doesn't act like a nazi? your nonsensical claim doesn't magically transform into a sensible one just because you've used an emoji.

| | Re: All about Muslims (in the wake of terrorist attacks in Europe) | Quote: | |  | | | I'm not really sure why you had to bold it, it doesn't really make your point any stronger. Anyways, no, the horrific acts you listed were not driven by Muslims. However, that's not really the point. You see, the major difference between the culture of so-called Western Society and the Muslim culture is that the "West" tends to self-reflect and search for problems within itself. More often than not it discovers flaws and tries to fix them. By no means always, but generally it does. To pick on one of your examples, WWII; The Germans today are probably the most anti-nazi people on the planet because they understand what the problem was and have solved it. The fringe neo-nazi incidents are so low that they make national news. If they were widespread, they'd be normal and non-events. But they aren't. The Muslim culture on the other hand does not accept any criticism from the outside, on the contrary. There's usually no middle-ground. The reasons for this are deep and historic and not really interesting in this thread. | | | | | You quote "The Muslim culture on the other hand does not accept any criticism from the outside" as if it is a fact when you know it is not?

This attack comes after a report last year found Muslim women “bore the brunt” of rising Islamophobia in the UK.

Europeans must learn to treat Muslims with the same level of respect that Muslims offer to non-Muslims in their countries.

Generalizations just suck.
Muslims are as much of their heritage as Catholics are. I can imagine if I went to Tulamore in Ireland, our conversations would be mind-boggling to a passive Catholic.
And then we have the extremists that don't fit the bill anywhere. They are fired by anger and revenge, and with their words and actions, misportray the religion they revere.

. | | | | | Speaking of Irish Catholics - like, is there any other kind? Joking. A very funny (and self-deprecating at that) lot. A good few years ago I was visiting Dublin. I was thinking to buy some clothes from one of those fancy shops in the city centre. Picked something and asked a shop assistant where the fitting room was. He showed me around and luckily was kind enough to walk me there because I didn't pay attention to which sector I went, and was about to enter the male separation or room. The guy just theatrically "blocked" the entrance and made the cross sign "It's not for the ladies here" (in the "go away temptation" sort of way)...we both laughed of course. I associate Irish Catholicism with that hilarious bloke ever since tbh.

I was in a sauna in Galway filled with a few local guys. I was naked but was wearing a towel for covering. The guys couldn't believe I had no swimsuit under the towel. It was like a porno scene come to life. I left soon after the comments became uncomfortably "hot".

EDIT: The lads who cut silage for my Dad happen to be Church of Ireland - great decent folks.
