    Sigh, I knew someone was going to say that.

    Do you honestly think they were women that raped him? Context matters.

    I've only heard about crocodile dundee out of those and that only because a guy at uni pretty much forced me to watch it with him.

    Is there anything we can say about this topic without it being "Religion bashing"
    Pretty easy. Talk about the individuals/group that did this, and don't pretend that the religion as a whole endorses this kind of thing.

    Who's Don Bradman? And isn't Murdoch an Aussie?

    ED: Wow, wish I'd heard of Sir Don Bradman before what a legend!

    The article said his university was the source of many of the rumors. Why is a university spreading rumors about one of their own students?

    Sir Donald "Don" Bradman (Australians tend to lack imagination when it comes to nicknames) is their greatest sporting hero.

    And isn't Murdoch an Aussie?
    I think they have disowned him.

    The most famous Australian women were Kylie, Dame Edna Everage, Dame Nellie Melba, Kylie's sister and Mrs Mangel.

    She came seventh, after that actress who used to be married to Tom Cruise. Really famous, but I have forgotten her name. Ginger. She might be from New Zealand.

    Seeing that thousands marched screaming Allah akbar and then absolutely slaughtered this young student one would think behaviour like this is socially acceptable in Pakistan. What can we do to make sure things like this don't happen in Europe. And how can we help homosexuals in countries like this to escape prosecution?

    I won't add the video since it will make the thread instantly locked but it's not to hard to find on the web.


    His last tweet reads:
    "If you are black or you are brown or you are gay or you are lesbian or you are Trans or you are Introvert , Anyone that is treating you unkindly , It's only because they are afraid or they have been taught to be afraid of how important you are.
    because being different means you make a difference. so f*** em...."

    Thanks @Potentio for the tweet
    Holy shit that was disturbing!

    I was thinking this but to be fair if you look at a map, it's basically the Eastern edge of the middle east.

    Geography is a subject that is woefully neglected in American public schooling.

    I mean hell, 30% of Republicans/41% of Trump voters want to bomb Agrabah, a fictional city from a Disney movie.

    No need for it to be exclusionary, the examples given in that definition are not exclusionary, e.g. Japan is influenced by Western dress as shown by the wearing of business suits, which originated in British culture.

    Monoculturalism
    noun
    The policy or process of supporting, advocating, or allowing the expression of the culture of a single social or ethnic group.

    multiculturalism (countable and uncountable, plural multiculturalisms)

    The characteristics of a society, city etc. which has many different ethnic or national cultures mingling freely; political or social policies which support or encourage such coexistence.
    Mingling freely is the part that does not really work as intended.

    somewhat agree, depends on what you mean by become westernised.
    Dropping cultural practices that are not tolerated in the West, such as calling for a theocracy to replace our secular legal systems and honour killings.
