Keep looking deep into your past and I'm sure you will find a reason to hate just about every ethnic or racial group. Surely hate isn't the path to a better world in the future. Yet it is apparent that some still cling to it. The sins of the father get inherited by the sons. That archaic notion shouldn't have a place in today's "civilized" world.

Words like "your" and "our" do not belong in discussions like those that should be taking place here in the Monastery. They personalize a discussion that should be about an issue, not an individual or group. As I always say, address the issue, not the person!

I'm closing this topic as it has turned from a remembrance of sorts to a series of accusations and insults both on and off topic. There is a lot here to review. Those exhibiting unacceptable behaviour in this thread should expect to receive appropriate disciplinary sanctions in the very near future.
