I don't even live in the Pacific time zone, so that is impossible.

Can we now discuss my question?

If it’s about my expat days I taught English in South Korea and Japan and spent the money I made traveling around to other parts of Asia. It was well over a decade ago and don’t know much about how things have changed. Back then it was easy as ****ing hell. They paid people just to be a foreigner, basically. I got wasted as **** in between classes and then went out drinking and trying to get laid pretty much every night. Women would **** you just for being white. And South and Southeast Asia was INSANELY cheap back then. India was no **** two dollars a day. 3 squares, hotel room - all of it.

Makes me wish I'd have done college, but I was referring to the why do we treat people differently for scrutinizing jews/muslims than with christains question.

Edit: I mean, I did a year of community college but that wasn't ****.

Tuition has increased tenfold.

Muslims and Jews are far more vulnerable to discrimination and hate crimes than Christians in America. Therefore out of respect for the well-being of these minority religious cultures it’s reasonable to be more reserved in our criticisms since they might inspire more negativity.

Or perhaps people should be more cognitive of their approach to criticizing religions in general. Aim your hatred and your problems at the religion rather than the religious. Islam is ****, Muslim's aren't. Christianity is ****, Christians aren't.

I think most, if not all, mainstream religions facilitate and breed violent and radical behavior. The problem lies more with the individuals exploiting these beliefs to justify their bull****, but the religions do condone a lot of hate. I don't think the fear of the same kind of idiot using our critiques to justify their hateful acts should prevent us from critiquing.

Even though I don’t always agree with that point (my hatred ebbs and flows) it’s a pretty damn reasonable way to look at it.

The Talking Walnut told me to kick people in the nuts.
