Hi Guys,

I was deeply saddened by the Paris attacks. Suddenly i found myself with the masses and hate the terrorist. Then when i remember my research until today, i realize the terrorist are not so different than us. They want to go to Heaven. They pretend that they are good. They eat each other up. They are us.

So will you kill people instantly with a bomb blast or will you drain the people around you, until death? Either way, we are similar.

Interesting view Zac,
But don't you think that the former people cant undo what they did or what happens as a consequence whereas the latter can still undo what he has done??

Have you ever try to undo your damages to people around you? :) The thing is you can't because it's been done.

p.s: Scientifically in life, everything exist.

hmmm....true but don't you think that psychological and the other damages can still have a somewhat chance of being restored to some level if tried????.......how do you undo a life taken through the hands of a terrorist?????

pks391,

Can be restored but not the same, as in version of it. Like cells in your body, it is restored with a new one. You think your body is the same everyday but it is not. It replaces cells.

But what i am pointing is the damage we are doing to people, collectively.

The key word here is "collectively".

p.s: Not trying to be "heartless" because i somewhat feel we are heading that way but it is like we do not realize the damage we doing to people. Given an example of Chase's article on 3 things to do and 7 things not to do with other's girlfriends...... Nobody took it seriously. It was a joke to me when i look at it. The worse part of it is they think they are "right". People are bullshit when they say they care. They don't..and when i realize i am similar, it can put one in a dilemma.

Yes, your point can be further supported by the atmosphere in India. Culture over here is damaging the youth as well as the darn public and causing a shitload of problems.....

Fascinating article on the motivations of ISIS here:

What ISIS Really Wants

An issue you run into is sometimes people adopt absolutist, idealistic beliefs. They rigidly proclaim, with absolute certainty, that it IS this way, must BE this way, and NO other way is acceptable. Nothing halfway, nothing compromised; their way, or nothing.

Unfortunately, with ISIS, the belief system they have is that ISIS must kill all takfiri Muslims (i.e., Muslims who don't pledge themselves to the ISIS caliph), enslave all pagans, and subjugate all Christians and Jews, you're in a bit of a pickle, unless you fancy the idea of slavery, death, or subjugation.

I spent many fruitless years in the past arguing endlessly with idealistic people, either on Internet forums, or via email, or in person, sometimes for months on end, and no amount of saying, "Well, let's discuss this rationally, figure out what you want and why you want that is, and what I want and why I want that is," works, because they always come back to the same thing: it doesn't matter what you want, because you are wrong and the only thing that works is their viewpoint, in its entirety.

With blind idealism, you really only have two options: ignore it, or crush it.

The West, as a result of its multiculturalism, is the most open-minded, non-absolutist place in the world right now, which makes it inclined to look at people like ISIS and say, "Well, what do they want? Maybe if we can understand them, we can figure out a solution." ISIS, on the other hand, does not care what the West wants, because what the West wants is irrelevant; what ISIS wants is the total obliteration of the West, and to bring about an Islamic armageddon.

So true.

Many Americans think that we should just isolate ourselves and let other countries deal with these guys. Isolationism might work for a small country but not for a superpower like the U.S.. Isolationism didn't work before, and it's certainly not going to work now. Sooner or later whatever is happening abroad is going to affect us, so it's best if we deal with the problem now and crush the extremists.

Chase,
This is also prevailing in the Indian Continent. I have also been through many infructuous conversations with these types. They, as you say, choose to abandon logic and prefer to believe that theirs is the correct way.......I, in the end chose to ignore it.....
But let me tell you something, most of these people who are extremists tend to take the literal meaning of their religious texts and not try and understand the deeper meaning behind them. Many of them are misinformed, they tend to take the 'literal' wordings mentioned in their religious texts. Although, I shouldn't say it, they're more like automatons or rats in behaviour. No will to stand out and embrace their human individuality. Just a 'follow the herd' mentality. Something which almost 80% Indians adhere to.

Ouch. So much nail on the head. :)

I thought American troops are still fighting the Taliban, Assad regime, remainings of Al Qaeda and also ISIS. America might be what they say as 'world police' but they do a lot for other countries.

I don't think the herd is to blame, especially when you been 'brainwashed' for so many years. Kind of interesting. What you mean by infrastructure of it?

I think that people are not to blame for their naive or their belief. We should not blame them totally. My another question is what you mean by india and its infrastructure?

Zac,
True about the part on people's naivete.
Here in India, majority of the masses are brought up since childhood having a very religious background. As a result, there are not a lot of free thinkers in this place. Also, as it would be obvious, all those who ask questions and think freely are simply given the answer "It is what it is, just believe in it and don't ask questions" Moreover, the guys here too are trained by default to be nice guys. That and the culture system of arranged marriage and the prominence of rape sets a stage for conservatism. Also here not everyone from my age will try to stand apart or take the beaten path very often. Its more like study hard, get a good job, save up, get married, get a house, have kids, grow old and die. Just that, no time for any self-realization or any soul searching. Moreover, here too the religious people are not too open to answer your questions. Each one believes that his is the right message.

So sad. Kind of being put in a hamster wheel. IF you have articles on india, do link here. It is always good to know some research and hear from people who are there and what they do.

Sure thing Zac, although if you're curious on how it is in India, you are free to ask me any questions anytime :). Life here ain't bad in the metropolitan cities.....viz Mumbai, Bangalore...... Its just the rest of the places that house this attitude.......

Zac,
The question you asked is quite broad and it would take me a long post to answer it :D
Probably as big a post as the writers on the site!!!!
But in a nutshell id say they are more or less like the girls in the west.....i mean the girls living in the big cities......but still i cannot accurately tell you everything in a manner which you would get the entire picture.....:)
They hate the guys here coz most of the guys as i said are trained to be nice guys and are not given lessons on how to become a sexy, properly social man.....most of the guys game around here is the stuff they see in movies and consists of weak indirect beat around the bush kind of flirting......most guys over here cannot directly tell a girl they like her...which pisses the girl off....
Apart from this there's the north indians where women are viewed as nothing less than sex tools and commodities........extreme prevalence of rape and murder and honor killings....inter religious marriages make parents kill their own daughters......dowry and other social crap......
That was the life of an average mid town Indian girl.....the metro girls lives are more or less like the lives of girls in the west.......
That was just a tiny insight into it.....there's a lot more........but it'll be a big post.......
If you want to know more about girls here specifically,,,,,,,then you can ask it in a sub-questionlike manner.........because partially im too lazy to type it all :pP
Hope you could gain atleast a brief insight on the like of a girl here :D

Yeah, but there's lots more things to tell.....the variety of cultures and values here differ very greatly.....so this is not the entire picture....the kinds of girls vary greatly....

I'm a bit late to this discussion, but I need to clarify that this is the type of western-influenced feminist nonsense that is slowly seeping into metropolitan Indian society. In my humble opinion, it needs to be stamped out. The social systems in place are arguably the most effective on the planet at maximizing productivity. And on top of that, almost every single person in the society reproduces. Other societies would kill to be able to have those metrics.
