One non politically correct comment I have read suggests that African Christians and tribal religions are more likely to be susceptable to the Aids epedemic than the African Muslims. If this is true, it could really change the demographics of the continent. Regardz Colin J Davies

I'm guessing the concept of a 2 hour movie showing two guys eating a meal and talking struck them as 'foreign' Rob Manderson wrote:

One politically incorrect question. How do Muslims accept Gays and Drug users? My perception is they are very strict in their acceptance. Feel free to correct me if this is wrong, I really do not know. ""

Now CNN is pretty bad I admit, but Aljazeera is like an infomercial for down-trodden Arabs. One hundred bucks says Sadman writes half their copy while on the crapper.

Seems like we hear things all the time about land being taken and "re-aproppriated" from minorities in Zimbabwe, don't you worry about the politics in the region? I mean no offense at all by my question. Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

Aren't people who live near Central Park in New York terrified of the gangs in the Bronx? I mean I hear horrific tales of crime, mafia like gangs, drive by shootings and all manner of sorts. Aren't US citizens also afraid of the Islamic fundmentalist cells hiding in each city? What about those neo nazi nuts who blow up government property because the government treats blacks equally? If you read the news as the truth for everyone you would think every soul in America is gingerly ducking from street corner to street corner. You would think I take an armed guard with me when driving to work so I don't get hijacked, that my house is mined to deter thieves and that my daughter wears a chastity belt so she cannot be raped. Point being that while one person is murdered in their house, 45million others go on with a reasonably good life. Of course we must not accept the crime as the norm and not do anything about it, but we also must not get whipped into such a frenzy that life stops. If we took the news headlines as something that impacts everyone directly then we should all be cowering in our broom closets 24/7. Yes things are bad in Zimbabwe. That won't be happening in South Africa though, things are different here plus we have a saner president (even though he says daft stuff on HIV and AIDS.) Plus South Africa is a beautiful place to live. I have a wonderful standard of living, far better than any Londoner, New Yorker or Hong Konger. I don't go to the bad places, I don't attract the attention of people I shouldn't. I work hard and hope it helps the country.

Point taken. I didn't mean any offense by my question, I was just wondering how the politics of the country had affected your life. BTW I live in Michigan's Upper Penninsula, not much in the way of crime, my doors stay unlocked, no gangs, and unless you are afraid of deer not much to worry about except for if the fish are biting.
