Well, I'm sorry for derailing the thread, but I felt that was insulting and had to respond. It angers me when people try to blame everyone else instead of looking at themselves first. I know it's easier that way but that's not now how it should be. Those you insult are people too. Is it so hard to familiarize yourself with something before you start accusing? Am I an idiot because I've read every single post in "Some joyous tidings from Israel" thread and didn't want to enter discussion because I don't feel I know enough about the issue? Am I an idiot because I try to understand more? To read what other people, who are more familiar with that issue, are saying? Should I have just went in guns blazing and said Israeli/Palestinians are baby-murdering rapists/bigots/racists/Nazis?
Precisely this kind of spreading of ignorance is a good part of why people in the world have a rather bad opinion of Serbia. Bopa said that Serbs are at odds with everyone else in the Balkans. That is his impression and I bet he never visited Serbia once. Well, Serbia is by far the most diverse country in the Balkans ethnically. There are literally dozens of various ethnic groups living here: Bosniaks, Hungarians, Slovaks, Germans, Bulgarians, Romanians, Vlachs, Turks, Ruthenians, Goranis, Croats, Bunjevci, Sokci, Russians, Ukranians, Jews... I could go on and on.
Here's some more debate topics for you, Cronos Impera, one that could also help humanity grow:
4) How can one improve oneself without casting the blame on others
5) Should people educate themselves about an issue before they talk about it and especially before they start accusing others
