Oh, I misunderstood. You said look straight acting, so I thought you meant some celebrity actors scare you like that.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

celebrities can be scary too

Re: What are you scared of?
 

Ok, please name the "Western Cults" that are threatening the eastern ones with Nuclear weapons... just name one... any one.

I'll help you out, there aren't any. And no, the US has NEVER threatened any Islamic nation with nuclear weapons. Meanwhile Iran is getting them and is run by a pretty insane islamic cult who wants us all Muslim or dead. Thats their official POLICY.

This is where relativism is perverse and self-destructive. To compare a country like Iran and its openly insane nature to any other current western culture is sheer idiocy. There is no comparison. Iran's president has stood on the UN floor and openly PRAYED for the Apocalypse to come, while having it written in policy that it is HE that will bring it about.

But I'm sure that none of this will ever come about. Its all just fantasy... question: what exactly do you think would happen if islamic terrorists killed the Pope? Thats exactly how close we are to all hell breaking out, a hell that they want to happen.

If you aren't scared, you should be.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

I was stating the sillyness in you calling it a cult.
Define the difference between a middle eastern cult, and any western religion, please?
Is it differed on the ideals, or based on how many people follow it?
It's based on neither.

And the "western cult" would be the Christians.
There.
I named one.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

1) Christians have never threatened Islam with nuclear weapons. To ever state that they did is a bold faced lie or a demonstratioon of sheer ignorance. If you think I'm taking you out of context, read your own posts.

2) I call it a "cult", because its outside of what most consider mainstream Islam. I am not a fan of traditional Islam to begin with, but the kind that is pushed by Iran literally believes that it is THEIR duty to bring about the apocalypse... and the're trying to get Nulear weapons. THATS a cult, and a very dangerous one at that.

3) To compare moderrn Christianity with Iran's form of Islam is doomed on conception. There IS NO COMPARISON. To call Christianity a cult is just shows you know have no idea what a cult is. Lets look at offenses. Christianity can be charged with the ubiquitous charge of "cultural imperialism", while the Iran's form of Islam wants to wash the earth in the blood of the unbelievers to bring about the apocalypse. THAT IS A CULT BY ANY DEFINITION. The fact that this cult runs a nation does not validate them, it simply makes them quite dangerous.

Stop being PC. Stop pretending that everything is ok and we are no better than those that want to kill us for not believing in the exact same religion they do. Most of all, stop using relativism as a reason to shroud yourself in cultural ignorance. Blanket statements like `every religion is a cult' aren't enlightening, they are a continuation of an idiotic worldview hat could be the end of our way of life and even OUR LIVES. Start reading, thinking and objectively examining the situation, then form an opinion. I am finished with this dialogue until you can form an argument that shows you really care enough about your own opinions to support them with real information.

Haha
I like the name
Learned about this in class like two weeks ago.
Still find the name funny.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

I'm scared of...

girls.

Ok, I'm really not. But you probably believed me for a second anyway.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

I knew it.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

So the difference between a cult and a religion is how mainstream it is? The more people who follow it, and know about it, suddenly the more plausible and credible it is? I find that ignorant.


EDIT:


I'm not pretending. I'm sorry if you cant carry on your life and be happy, and not live every second in fear, but I can. If you're scared of terrorism, you might as well be as equally scared of dying every time you get in a car, your house catching on fire, drowning when you swim, being shot by a stray bullet in a gun fight randomly, an earthquake, a tornado, a hurricane. I find it silly to dwell on the things we cannot control. Dont call my ways of living my life "pretending".

And to be fair, yes, they want to kill western religion. And western religion wants to assimilate them back. Different ways around the same thing: Having your religion succeed and dominate.

Hmmm, I guess I'm scared of..... well nothing comes to mind.

.....

I'm guess I'm scared of discipline. I'll usually do whatever I can to prevent a disciplinary action against me or my friends. Hmmm, that sounds kind of weird when I say it out loud.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

I guess it would have to be Garbage Pail Kids. I still can't stand to look at them to this day.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

I actually wrote a long, exasperated response to this post, where I actually shed a tear for the future of Canada... but then I deleted it.

I remembered I said I wouldn't continue this dialogue until you actually took the time to educate yourself on anything you comment on, and you still haven't. You just keep on babbling with the hope that one day something you say will have substance for the sole reason you SAID IT.

If I were your teacher I would have eaten a bullet by now. I couldn't live with that level of failure.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

I'm glad to see you're still above personal attacks and insults when none have been made towards you.


I shed a tear for the children you have taught.
Surely the remedial children are the future of America.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

Yeah, he should definately let it unnecessarily affect his life.

Re: What are you scared of?
 

Honestly Im scared that Quebec is going to seperate from Canada and get all the things they requested like money and that we stay bi-linguel. Its bull**** every ****ing province except theirs is proud to be Canadian. Understand that everyone west of quebec honestly we like you, but we think you a tad on crack when you talk about creating your own nation and yet requesting money and **** from us.

Also @Typhoid
I agree with you, why worry about what we can't control. I do worry about what comes after death. I am 16 I don't beleive in any religions, I consider myself spiritual but my theories change on a day to day basis. Something inside me begs for it not to be the end, but something in my head tells me there might be nothing.
