What ails the west?
India has peoples who have it worse
but they dont react dis way
they just commit suicide
when they cant take it no more
Indians are a a spiritual God- loving, God -fearing people
they didnt loot when the law and order machinery broke down
as it happened in New Orleans after Katrina
they wont do anyting to fuck up their chances for the next life
they still have hope, even after suicide

ya ya thats right.Americans did not ..africans in New orleans did.....More civilized are the west.They have the right amount of knowledge thru education and other facilities like the TVs,internet and they are more open minded.Even though there are few conservative section but u will find them all over the world.Here in mumbai there are slums.When floods were in mumbai,people spread rumours too(though the numbers were far too less compared to N/O) so that they will panick and they can loot people.But unarguably Indian people have heart and most of the rich and educated people today have gone thru poverty/sadness in their grown up years as opposed to the west.So they know how it is like to be.....
It depends on ur economic status as well.In time of crisis,poor people lose everything whatever little they have..so it's total devastation for them...
If someone like Keshi gets stuck in the floods,she will be the first to pack off and move to a safer land.Then after getting access to internet,blog about how brave is she and how sad were the looks on people's face....bitch.
Is Religion Bad
For America?
In the news business, "dog bites man" isn't a story, but "man bites dog"
is always front-page news. What's true of dogs is also true of religion: If
researchers conclude that religion, especially biblical religion, is good
for a society, no one notices. But let someone claim the opposite, and
the press can't wait to spread the word.
And that's exactly what's happened over the past few weeks. In a recent issue of
the JOURNAL OF RELIGION AND SOCIETY, researcher Gregory Paul compares
murder, teen pregnancy, abortion, and suicide rates in the United States to those
in other industrialized countries. He concludes that "the United States is almost
always the most dysfunctional of the developing democracies, sometimes
spectacularly so."
What made the headlines was Paul's "explanation": He linked this dysfunction
to "higher rates of belief in and worship of a creator." According to Paul,
religious beliefs "are not only unnecessary for a healthy society but may
actually contribute to social problems." After all, Paul tells us, look at
secular Europe. By these measures, Europe is doing better than the more
religious United States. This "disproves" the idea that "non-religious, [pro-
evolution] democracies . . . cannot enjoy good conditions," he says.
Like other materialists, Paul's favored mode of argument appears to be knocking
down straw men. No one that I know of has ever argued seriously that secular
societies "cannot enjoy good conditions."
On the contrary, certain selectively picked criteria, such as the ones Paul
cites, can actually mask deeper problems. For instance, while Europe and
Japan have lower rates of sexually transmitted diseases than the United States,
is that really the chief measure of a healthy society? What about the higher
suicide rates and lower birth rates in Japan and Europe? Aren't societies
that are individually and collectively ending their existence at least as
"dysfunctional" as the United States?
The other way in which Paul selectively picks his data is in his comparisons: As
journalist Tucker Carlson pointed out, Iran and Saudi Arabia, arguably the most
religious societies on Earth, have virtually no murder, no teen pregnancy, or
any sexually transmitted diseases. By Paul's criteria, these must be paradises,
except Paul knows better than to make those comparisons.
His goal doesn't seem to be an honest appraisal of the role of religion in
public life, but rather simply to embarrass American Christians.
That's why he all-but-commits the oldest mistake in statistics: confusing
correlation with causation. Just as a rooster's crowing when the sun comes up
doesn't mean that the crowing causes the sun to come up, the presence of social
problems in religious societies doesn't mean that religion is the cause.
Yet that's clearly the inference Paul wants us to draw from his so-called
"findings." Why else would he suggest that "Europeans are increasingly repelled
by the poor societal performance of the Christian states"?
Christians need to be equipped to argue that Christian influence is indeed good
for society. Chuck Colson does this well in his book THE GOOD LIFE and in HOW
NOW SHALL WE LIVE? written with Nancy Pearcey. But it's also a wake-up call.
We've got to do a better job of making our witness visible as we live out our
faith in every area of life. BREAKPOINT with Charles Colson
