So your respect for a culture is based solely on the concept of "What have you done for me lately." Charming. Shallow, but charming.
No need to label me "charming" or "shallow" for noting the dimension of time.
All events in history did not occur today.
Were that the case, FR Breaking News would have Incan and Mayan articles.
The gang rape is in fact recent.
The Incas and Mayans are not.
Cultures which correct terrorist practice are to be noted.
Yet Arafat and others in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon and Palestinian Authority areas continue to train children to strap on explosives and murder civilians.
The photo above of the woman being shot in the head for some Islamist crime illustrates a current event.
No one in the photo is Incan or Mayan.
No dodos or passenger pigeons in those pictures either. Hmmm - wonder why?
