Humanism

[kılıç_mehmet]

You cannot unite the people the way you want them to unite, while ignoring everything regarding cultural-ethnic-religious values that have been passed on through centuries.

These are all things that really don't matter when it comes to survival of a species. People want to hold on to their sense of identity even if it were to bring about the end of humanity.

Everyone getting along regardless of of their culture and ethnicity is all I would ask for.

What the hell is the *survival of the species*?
Do you seriously believe that if it comes to that, countries like the US will save us?
Will the people? I don't think so friend. It's so easy for you to talk a lot here how humanity will unite when it comes to the survival of the species, but I'm sure that even there, the strongest amongst humanity will survive.
And I intend to work so that my own people will be ready for that day, so that we don't depend on the likes of the west.

Yes, people get along when they have to, like in America, where no one has a historical claim on the lands they live on, nor any type of ethnic sense of belonging.
That's why people who would usually kill eachother, like say, a Hungarian and Romanian, can live in peace, maybe go eachother's ways as long as they want.

But if I have to live with a say...another ethnic minority in my own country under a single roof, problems will soon start. Do you count on me to save him from a grand flood? Do you count on my to give him shelter from a nuclear attack? I don't count on him to do these for me, so he kann sich zum Teufel scheren, for all I care.

Mehmet: It is that thinking that causes so many issues. People who say "it can't be done because we're all different!" If everyone who said that actually said the complete opposite, such moral and ethical standings would be far more pervasive. Humanism isn't very clearly defined by much more than, as previously stated, the Golden Rule. Each humanist is likely to react differently to different external stimuli, and each one will live his or her life differently than the others. Better this way; no dogma or people in charge leading their "flocks of sheep" like the christians so adore to be referred to as.

Well, we are different, friend.
We have our differences, which seem to me more than the common points we have. I had to learn your language to communicate with you, I had to read your newspapers, read your history, have some basic knowledge on the religions in your area to actually come to this place and stay more than a day.
I had to show effort to discuss something in common with you.
