Dealing With Ignorance

[Iambreathingin]

Just now I read somones personal comment on YouTube, the thing that's on their profile everyone reads.

It read:

Western civilization ROCKS - the Middle East is backwards and SUCKS - Islam is EVIL and needs to be destroyed!!!


Now, I've learned gradually to accept stupidity, and ignorance, but I am really having trouble when I read somthing like this. How can somone be filled with so much blind hate? He has a right to think whatever bullshit he likes, but how do we have a world that would allow people to develop mindsets like this?

I live in London and on the way home today saw a 13 year old boy (or he looked it) screaming in the face of an old man for no apparnt reason. I grabbed him and told him to back off, asking why he was doing it, and he pulled a knife on me and spat at me (but thankfully missed). He was shaking like a leaf. I asked "Kid what the hell are you doing man, just be cool c'mon" when he just said "Fuck you" and ran off...

I am seriously have a difficult time accepting the world right now. On one level I am sort of impartial to all I see on a "stuff is happening" level. It's got me good at switching off when bosses/teachers/cock ends are having a go at me for no reason, or even dealing with some dark times/events, but it's hard for me to understand why anyone would seek to increase suffering in this world, be it real or illusion...

If anyone could offer some words of wisdom or advice I'd appreciate it greatly. I'm abit upset.

this has nothing to do with islam, but your story
about the 13 year old boy reminded of somthing really wired that

happened to me 2 days ago. I was going into 711 to buy some milk, and as I was about to enter the door these two young kids

were walking out. One was a boy about 12 and the other was a girl
mabey a year are two older, the boy turned around and looked at
me with a very EVIL look so evil and strange it made me take a turn around look, and when I looked at him he started barking and

growling at me, it was very STRANGE and to be honest it creeped
me out, its one of thoses things were you had to be there to really
understand, now Iam a big guy and have been in a lot of ruff places in my life, I used to be a biker back in the day, and Ive been in hard core prisons, but this kid was not just simply being a kid, there was somthing going on like he was possed by some kind

of evil spirt, I just stood there and looked at him wondering wtf and then the girl grabed him and looked at me and said "its ok just go into the store sir I can handel him" so I walked away but I wish

I could have tooken his picture because I know nobody was going
to belive me, Iam just glad I was not stoined, I think I would have
tweeked out. anyway I just thought I would tell you even tho it has nothing to do with this thread. ok Iam sorry you can go back
to the subject at hand now:.

It is so stupid! Judaism, Christianity and Islam all spring from the same source- Abraham, the patriarch. I imagine that many of you don't realize that Jesus has a place in Islam- not as the "Son of God", but as an honored prophet. They even have a few stories about him that have been "lost" to Christianity. They are easily found. Here's WIKI on the subject. Islamic view of Jesus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is like the left hand fighting the right! Abraham must be rolling in his grave! All of his "children" fighting amongst themselves! All claiming that "Father" loves them best! All claiming that there is only one way to express their love. Are they so unsure in their beliefs that they must stamp out any possible rival to their way of thinking? Someone who is confident in their beliefs, lives them and shows the way by example.

The secret to peace is finding things you can agree on and focus on them! The differences are usually much smaller than the similarities. We all laugh, love and cry. We are all human and kin.

Cannabis is our Tree of life and peace! Ya know, it's hard to stay mad at a man (or woman) who rolls and passes you a fattie! :jointsmile: Peace be with you all- Granny :hippy: ( a happy Wiccan)

I've had a similar experience with younger kids... I was just screwing around, shooting some hoops with some friends at the park by my place a while ago and some little kid who couldn't be older than 12 came up and asked us to get off the court. I started laughing because of how forceful the kid sounded and told him to get some manners. Kid pulls up his shirt and theres a glock in his waistband.

Sometimes it scares me what kids are capable of these days...

hope i'm not threadjacking though...just thought i'd share that

[jammin26]

lankan lion, i read that shit man thats funny. you cant always be that funny, black dude. or this universe would implode you talking bout one of situations with kids , they dont see your mind do they, these days. at all how you'd think. and your already thinking about how you saw men when u was 12 but now you aint got the mind to act

[Reefer Rogue]

London's getting worse and worse. Same with ignorant people bashing islam and muslims.

Chalk that up to a perk of the Young Offenders Act which pretty much guarantees children can do whatever they want and not be held accountable.

Some of these are actually scary thoughts! That today's society is so blind. Our government is corrupt, our schools are dummying themselves to make sure no feels left out and everyone is "on the same level," kids these days have no respect for their elders, history, or have any manners. They have no grasp of the world today. Who do you blame? Parents? I know that if I did something wrong as a kid I sure had my ass whipped. But now, we can't do that. . I know there are limits but, parents should be able to spank their kids to teach them a thing or two. Just look at the youth of today and the youth of the past: 50s, 60s, and 70s. See a difference? Trust me, when I have kids there will definitely be discipline, I'm not taking the liberal approach.

:thumbsup:I know if I was ever to be elected president. I would, bring the troops home. Take the self involved government officials out of power one example the government in NYC whom are trying to ban the words Bitch, Ho, and the *N word. I don't use the words but if someone wanted to I think they have the right to, same as any other word out there. Thats what FREEDOM OF SPEECH is for. As well as all the other rights that were given to the people I would make sure as long as I was in power they would remain their rights. I would definitely let people have more of a decision about the laws that govern where we all live. And, last but definitely not least MAKE WEED LEGAL! ! ! Damn, is it that hard to grasp? If the damn government would take their heads out of their asses and smell the ganja they would see how much money they would save buy just letting the world be a happier place. All they would have to do is just take it, sell it, tax it. Like cigs then they could take all the savings and put it into education and educate our youth so we don't end up in a world like the movie IDIOCRACY.
Thats all for me. . .
