Personally, I'm quite proud to be a reject, in that sense.
But I'm absolutely ashamed of being part of a culture that can and wiil change every generation or so in order to make a better world, yet can't be generous enough or have enough respect to let other cultures evolve unhindered.
And it is impractical.
What we force on them becomes temporaary and becomes anathema, because it isn't their's.

Mix a couple of jalapenos in with a dozen or so of those and take them to her.

They were still practicing stoning in Saudi Arabia as well in the early 90's. A good friend of mine was deployed there and actually got to see 'em do it. Of course it was a bit different. The girls father walked up and cast the first ceremonial stone, if you will, then they backed up the dump truck and it was over. He also saw 'em toss a young lady off of a tower.

Most of us round these part use olive-oil for all cooking....I guess its a grease-ball thang. Expensive but, once you taste it you know where the money went. Extra virgin even beter.
Im not too savy when it comes to fishing but, my neighbor was all happy that her son went out to jersey and caught a "drum fish". He said "Itza rare you catcha deesa fish ina deesa parts" He said the texture was like no other fish he had and he is teporarily in a'more.
Sorry im off topic....what can I say we drifted out to sea. I follow up with a diatribe.

drum is the "carp" of the sea... i don't eat 'em... they have catfish farms dayown hyar, Catfish Farming and Mississippi have been synonymous terms since the late sixties. There are over 91,000 acres of catfish in Mississippi producing about 72 percent of the catfish produced nationally.
olive oil is for sauteeing... try deepfrying in it? and you'll have a house full of smoke...
i use three times as much olive oil here at home as anything else.. the next is peanut oil..now that you can get hot, and it tastes good... cotton oil can get even hotter, but i don't use it, and never have..

Seriously anyone on this board who condones this act because it is the kurds/muslims culture and that we shouldn't interfere with their culture should be stoned themselves...
Muslims/kurds and other faiths in the middle east are nothing but savages and are not civilized humans... they deserve no mercy like they gave no mercy to that girl... say what you want about christianity, jewish and other religions around the world but they do not still live in the dark ages...
I like the idea that someone said that we should give women in danger of so called "honor killing" asylum in our embassies in these countries...
I hate to say it but if we didn't have christians (and it's various forms of methodists, baptists, etc.) governing this country and let Muslims be the majority, our own women would be in danger...
I don't know what version everyone saw of this video (i won't look at it again.. unlike others I watched the whole thing so it sunk in) but this is the one I saw that was posted in another forum (metal music that i frequent):

Mach,
You seem to not be able to gather in and hold on to the idea that way of thinking is exactly the way they think of things we do normally and casually and that responding to us with that sort of violence is exactly their justification for to how to deal with things their culture condemns.
I know it isn't easy to accept that things we think nothing of, not good and not bad, are things they believe to be fundamental and naturally evil and against God's laws.
You are asking me to act in the same way as they do.
I cannot and will not be goaded into that sort of reaction, not by your exclaimation of hatred and disgust and not by your condemnation of me for not being just like you and not by any of any number of people, and not because of any kind of denunciation or threat whatever.
I will not!

If you believe we are so advanced and so far above those people, then you've never watched little black children in rural Mississippi, scared and shaking in fear, drop their brand new Christmas toys and hide in a ditch because some strange white guy was driving by.

What does racism have to do with religion, culture or honor killing? ....

You just proved you have little understanding of the dregs of what too often calles itself "southern culture", where violently demonstrating hatred to becomes a requirement of "brotherhood".
Too, you posited that we (that's all of us) are not so backward as to be so intollerant of others. I provided a counter example.
(It may be racial to you, to those little black kids, it is a chance to avoid possibly becoming the victim of an honor killing and having the chance to grow up).

Bdgee I have to agree with you on this one. The world is full of different cultures who behave in ways we don't and that's their right. We can't be the world monitor of behaviors or the judge. I'm also not too thrilled with someone spouting the goodness of Christianity and how its saving the U.S. That's a bunch of crap and I resent the implications of that too. Personally I think that whole religious righteousness is debilating. Just look how dubya is devastating the country and using his religious beliefs as justification.
However, I wouldn't easily compare the racism of some folks to the cultural norms of another.

Most folks in Mississippi are kind and gentle.
But a tiny percentage bent on selfish evil (often in the name of some religion) can keep the masses in turmoil and fear and pack instinct can sweep up even the most generous and gentle into a vulgar display of physical violence.
There are more good things about Mississippi than bad things.
(The last several great race riots in this country (actually almost all of them, since it has only been since well into the 20th century that anyplace in the South had enough population to achieve rioting) happened in California, New York and Chicago. And don't forget it was racial rioting in New York that killed dosens of young black men who they said were resisting being drafted into the Union army during the civil war.)

it's been less than a hundred years since lynchings were too frequent in the south...
there are ways to end the senseless violence of honor killings and other things like that..
but Rosa Parks and Martin L. King didn't do it with a gun...
Ghandi didn't do it with a gun..
Nelson Mandella didn't do it with a gun...
i like my guns, but i know when to use them, and when to put them away...
Dubya had a real chance to make a significant difference in the mideast using the world mandate to "take" Afghanistan, and he blew it...
instead he has manged to do about as much as humanly possible to help al-queda recruit new members... note the date on this..
Can al-Qaeda�s Lebanese Expansion Be Stopped? By Emily Hunt February 6, 2006
As Israelis assess the implications of Hamas�s victory in January elections to the Palestinian Legislative Council, a new threat may be developing in Lebanon. Al-Qaeda�linked terrorists have been present in Lebanon for a decade, but recent statements by Ayman al-Zawahiri and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi suggest that the dual objectives of destabilizing Arab regimes and targeting Israel proper are becoming top al-Qaeda priorities. Al-Zarqawi�linked terrorists in Lebanon have already engaged in low-level targeting of Israeli and Lebanese interests, yet several obstacles may hinder their ability to launch significant attacks in or from Lebanon.

"now?"
After invading Iraq and neglecting Afganistan, the whole world (other than, literally, a handful of countries) was and is against him absolutely.
