Sometimes what seems natural is because the water was poisoned for so long. Yes, it is natural to have sexual desire, but is unfettered spread of porn with a few taps easily accessible at any age really something we should accept? And young

Actually I think this is really good that we see more regulation around access to pornography, because many damaging aspects of it have been raised more in public awareness and these companies have made a lot of money off of addicting popul

It’s not favoring a particular religion, and even non religious people (including for ex some radical feminists you may find) can unite against pornography propagation. It’s also not just about think of the children, but any society that ca

I think I’d like a more comprehensive via location version also. Might also help to include English summaries of news from other languages or from English sources in other countries. For example, I had to scroll to number 32 to see news abo

Thanks for recognizing this problem, really online support groups helped so much when it seemed so much of common society didn’t know or care about these issues.

I think a good way to combat pornography companies is to smother them in liability problems. Absolute many children and adults have had negative externalities due to the spread of pornography in society and specially use of it on phones and

Nothing wrong with government wanting people to wear burkas and cover up some more, it’s part of respectful and dignified society. Maybe don’t insult and denigrate modesty and other cultures next time.

Hi, this post is not about engaging in ideological battle. Actually it is to encourage curiosity and wonder. And I did not see anyone pick a fight nor is this egging for a fight.

Please take a look at the lectures, indeed culture is influential in individual behavior but culture is often used as a cover for more nefarious iniquities. Culture is often also a product of these. So when we talk about culture to dismiss

Take a look at this lecture about the history of slavery and racism in the US then [1]. This will provide an answer many of your questions. Dismissing a prominent PoC’s position for being outspoken and critical of existing unfairness really

That is great for Nigerian Americans perhaps speaks also to other factors in their favor. Would be curious to see breakdowns in lineage. As for descendants of slaves in the US, please check out these lectures by Dr. Joy DeGruy-Leary, and he

Completely missing the mark here. Talking about education as part of the culture, is not also taking into account that African American communities were discriminated over a long period of time and had their culture and ability to build wea

No moral double standard, just standard. I believe American culture is deficient in many aspects, and so requires change and criticism is one vehicle for this. Similarly, Arab, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, etc culture will have its deficiencies.

Foreignness in America is quite different consider how traces of native peoples have been erased and marginalized. And if American culture is to deliver on an individualistic promise, we should expect to see more changes in the dominant cul

I agree with you on ethnic favoring in some sense, but it’s a complex topic. And white Americans have an entire culture reinforcing their customs, way of life, ways of interacting, etc. All this contributes to how a corporate culture is ver

Having looked you up and getting a profile, I would agree that culture is a factor but I still put it in the bucket of “unconfirmed significance”. Funny how stereotypes recall memories, but I am parts repulsed and parts impressed by the pig

Ok but the lack of underrepresented minorities in the field and the important role people like Gebru played in extending the political and status of minorities is ok to extinguish? We need more than just white male / Chinese male &#x2F

Do you also personally not use any Arabic derived words in Persian? Silly idea to try to remove Arabic influence on Persian.

You can’t ethically sweep the atrocities of the Shah under the rug like kashf-e-hijab, and excuse him for merely overstepping a constitution. He attacked the fabric of Iranian society and humiliated the nation for the sake of pleasing Weste

The Us is a terrorist supporting inhumane regime that puts a pretense of being moral on the world stage. In reality it’s a very rotten country internally and as an American I really hope we can change that but all evidence seems opposite.

this is a quite Eurocentric take. In the Islamic world, the distinction was not initially science vs religion but the encroachment of philosophical rationalism on religious interpretation which was famously articulated by the Islamic schola

by erenyeager 3y ago
The reason behind drawing such a distinction may be more telling, as there is a larger push in some groups to draw this distinction for the sake of harkening back to pre-Islamic Persia. But of course, modern Persia and Islam are intertwined

Utter nonsense is people wanting to promote degeneracy in society and all of the media allowing the propagation of perversion onto children to the point that sexual exploitation and objectification is just an accepted part of life. More tha

Judicial process is different than the process of arresting. Following the culture and norms of the place you’re in is often inscribed in law. The judges have to do with the actual judgement process of crime. Completely orthogonal.

The article was pretty light on this but I think one major factor they didn’t mention was that Ramadan is a huge month of leniency and forgiveness with respect to crimes. In many Muslim majority countries, sentences are commuted and pardons

Please go to other countries and see how much cleaner, safer, and peaceful they are without accepting the terror of drug crime in public. There are clearly cultural and contextual differences, but it really goes to show that we do not have

> Absolutely wrong; it was the single biggest factor in the spread of Islam; even today forced conversions are a reality in Islamic countries. Perhaps you do not know so I will give you a history lesson. Firstly, some of the early Umayya

You are sorely wrong and ignorant as to the topics you discuss. To wallow in bias is to stay lost. Conversions to Islam under Islamic empires like Umayyads and Abbasids did not in general occur by the “sword”. You can look up the historical

It’s not a win win because you’re spreading the drug use. And this had health consequences and social ones. I think the culture needs a shift, there are many countries with harsh punishments for drug dealing and the culture around drug usag

Two-way can come in the sense as the main thing conquests spread was dominance of Islamic religion in a region, even if conversions didn’t not occur until later. The conquest of the Sassanian Empire for example would later lead to things li
