I think everybody just needs to quit crying.  I mean, I think what America is doing is wrong, and I think Islam is the best religion.  So what am I supposed to say?  We can't all agree.

We can find middle ground.

For example... one bone of contention ;)

Islam is the best religion For you. Just like Mormon-ism (lol) is the best for Trauma.

It doesn't mean ones better or worse overall... although i'm sure you'd disagree.

lol Well; "Mormonism" is actually correct; however, it's received a lot of stigmatism over the years, people associate it with Polygamy, etc. so nowadays, must of us liberated mormon folk don't even use the word mormon.  We just call members saints, or Latter Day Saints.  In your example though, I guess "Mormonism" would be the best choice, but I'd probably just say "Christianity" and not differentiate between sects (Like presbyterians wouldn't say "Presbyterianism is the best choice for me" or anything like that).  Peace~

LOL, yeah, actually, it is.  When the mormons first moved west, a ton died on the walk... they pushed handcarts across the plains, in the dead of winter.  One company had like 80% die on the trek.  Well, anyways, they went through a lot of crap, and when they got to Utah, there were a ton of women with no husbands.  Several men ended up marrying the women (since it was sinful to have a woman who wasn't your relative live with you), basically to take care of them.  The prophet at the time, Brigham Young, was married to tons of women, mainly because he had a ton of money.  Well, anyways, in order for Utah to become a U.S. state, it had to agree to the laws of the united states, one being that Polygamy was against the law.  Mormons always believe in following the law of the land, as well as the law of the lord, so the prophet deemed that the time had come to no longer allow Polygamy in the church.  


Well, several members (a rather large percentage) got pretty mad about that, and split with the church.  Some still live in the hills of Utah, practicing Polygamy to this date... they've pretty much perverted the whole idea, and that's where people get the idea of Mormons as sexual deviants with 10 wives, and all that crap.  We're smart men, though, LOL Knowledge will always win,

I still haven't figured out why all the hate, ESPECIALLY from other christians.  They bash us nonstop for that part of our history, even though the bible's filled with people who were polygamists, some approved by god, and some not.  The book of Mormon even condemns it... You wanna read about people being persecuted, save the american indians, I don't know that there's been ANYBODY persecuted quite this bad in america since conception.  The friekin' president of the United States even sent an army to Utah to burn our temple down, and kill the Prophet.  Lots of crap went down, it's pretty interesting read, if you ever get free time.

middle ground is a good idea

though people should be allowed to continue give their thoughts on other countries, religions you cant be offensive and people need to see their view point as only one view point, not if it's right or wrong, and people need to have respect others view points.

i still have problems with america and plenty of other countries, even my own australia but if i express these views and others present an opposing view i aint gonna attack them personally, the debate should stay about the topic - dont let it become personal. as many view points on one topic is good, just dont let contrasting ones start beef.
