Religious fundamentalism is a dangerous thing. It gives motive, reason and excuse to become inhuman. There are few religions that are inclusive. Either religion has to become more tolerant of other faiths or cultures or societies have to become more inclusive. Latter is true in case of Christianity. Presence of Islamic terrorists doesn't automatic support the argument that all terrorists are Muslims. There are all kinds of religious terrorists, just too few to be noticed compared to muslim terrorists.

It's important to respect culture and traditions, but killing a person by a mob is really sad. There was an uproar about a Chinese town that holds dog meat festival. It makes me cringe that someone could eat dog meat, but that's how world is. It is difficult to justify consuming any kind of animal. I can never imagine eating a primate meat, but many people do eat primates in Africa. Cows are sacred animals for Hindus, let them be. Jews and Muslims do not consume pork (I think), well good for me, I get to consume cheaper bacon.  |

This is a wellknown story: One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all" "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed". http://www.psychologymatters.asia/article/65/the-story-of-the-two-wolves-managing-your-thoughts-feelings-and-actions.html
But why do we so easily succumb to feed the evil wolf? Why do we hate and feed it and react hatefull towards others? WoW!! Love the story. Had heard a bit different version with 'who feeds what' theme, love it. I am not sure if it is possible to be devoid of negative emotions. Positive emotions make sense when we feel and know negativity. We certainly can try to have positive attitude. This reminds me of Seinfeld episode 'Serenity now, insanity later" |

Although option 2 looked better to me, I think 1 goes well with your needs. The lower section of D looks little odd to me. I would extend upper arm of D closer to B and then shorten the straight section of D in the lower part. Well that's my opinion though. Goodluck!!!

I don't hate Muslims any more than I hate a random person due to his or her actions. But, that alone may not be enough at present. Islam is undergoing its own revolution, and It might take some time to evolve into a more tolerant religion. Extremism in Islam has induced similar extreme wings in other religions and cultures across the world. And Islam and the extremism associated with it won't be able to fight with the rest of the world. Either it will die out or it will mellow out. My guess is, it's going to become more tolerant and inclusive. Since I don't associate myself with any particular religion, it's a bit saddening to see people massacre each other for stupid reasons. As far as Europe goes, it will elect more right wing parties in the near future, direct consequence of the refugee problem.

Love SamAdams. Beer is the best for me. Whiskey would be second. Wine/juice .......? Nah! After reading so many expert wine tester's failures to recognize quality of wine, I stick with any bottle less than $20. But no wine in general. No offense wine lovers.

Other than my own? Would love to go to New Zealand. Love mountains and rivers. Loved reactions from Kiwis when John Oliver made fun of a politician there.

Our body does fine with a mix of veggies and meats. If you are Vegan because you love your dog, I am sorry you are vegan. I am not a vegan, no problem with vegan diets. Love some beans and broccoli, but can't live without eggs and bacons. So much hate and anger in some of the posts, care to walk it off ?  |

The question is too vague for me. Although I come from a culture heavily influenced by religion, I can't shake this idea that if my parents were, lets say, 'Christians', I would most like remain in that faith or might grow out of it. There are very few people who change faith based on their understanding of particular religion or 'God'. If God is a concept, I am open to it. If it is something that watches over everyone, even when I am pooping, sorry God!, I let you down.

Still loving it, I mean the Democracy. It has proper checks and balances at its core, hence a country with good foundations and principles should be able to thrive in democratic political system. Well, there's Mr. Trump, who is breaking away from usual norms and precedence (Not Presidence) . We will see where the Murica goes in coming days. Usually the irony is the passage of 'Emergency Laws' often passed to protect the citizens that lead to almost autocratic systems within democracy. Can think of Turkey these days, No offense Turkey  |
