The Horrors of STS

[Shin'Ar]

So you believe the invasions in the middle east are justified because you saw a video from that region where a lynch mob killed a young girl? From this video you've also been able to conclude that your own kind, who by now killed hundreds of thousands of these people, are somehow more evolved?

Those atrocities are obviously not normal or accepted there. The fact that they happen do not make them normal or accepted.

The KKK does not say anything about the spiritual evolution of the average white american. The westboro baptist church says nothing about the evolution of the american christian. The tea party says nothing about the average american. And neither do that bunch of savage individuals you saw in that video say anything about the average person in the middle east.

You should travel... Go and see for yourself. Across the world the same kind of people are repeated over and over again... As they say: "The a-hole factor... is a constant." You've got them everywhere. But there's also people in those darkest places who can teach every single one of us a thing or two about the greatness of the human heart.

Although I do not agree with Pickle's understanding, I think you should be cautious of misinterprteting his intent. He was simply pointing out that there is a lower form of consciousness at work throughout all of the world that may be the reason for the many manifestation of ignorance that we across the globe.

And he did note that one of those atrocities took place in his own state.

I do agree with Pickle that we should avoid making this a racial concern, especially on this forum of all forums.

Was it not written :

“When he was about to enter Egypt, he said to Sar'ai his wife, ‘I know that you are a woman beautiful to behold; and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, “This is his wife”; then they will kill me, but they will let you live. Say you are my sister, that it may go well with me because of you, and that my life may be spared on your account.’ When Abram entered Egypt the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. And when the princes of Pharaoh saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.” - Genesis 12:11-15
