cultural sensitivity training
 

Remember... if it is a government agency/committee it is actually the opposite of it's name.
Intelligence Committee = room full of morons dictating futile hate policy.

It always works.

I always thought it was being able to tell between "Shiite" and "Shinola"...
;)

Thanks b.s. I knew I could count on you.

Yes I do mean cultural.


I went to look up the difference between Suni and Shiite to try gaining some understanding. I failed. It is complicated. This is sensitive. I can barley get my point across when I am understanding something but not this!

Then I saw something that brought it home in a simple way. Perhaps more snickerish to some but is this the 'sensitivity training' do we really want to be snickering in the face of our ignorance ?


What is the answer here?


Is this child...
an Arab or a Kurd,
Moslem or Christian,
a Shiite or a Sunni?

I don't know...which one looks like a box with a red x in it?

A red cross? Must be a Christian!

silly, you can't tell a childs faith by seeing him/her anyway. That was the point. ;)

but "Arab or Kurd" is an ethnic distinction, which might be readily distinguished by someone familiar with the region. Although the difference between Shi'a and Sunni is a religious question, the I think that the majority of the Shi'ites are from the old Persian empire. Christianity and Islam, despite colonisation and ministry, are both largely regional phenomena.

If you see a child somewhere, you could probably make a very good guess whether they are Arab or Kurd, and whether they will become Muslim or Christian, Shi'ite or Sunni.

Those who offer us "sensitivity training" suffer from the presumption that we are more ignorant than they and in need of their training.

I actually know the difference between Shia and Sunni. Kerry is a pompous supercilious preppy asshole and has been such for a long, long time.

Kerry is one of the several senior Democrats who keep on display exactly what is wrong with the Democratic Party. There are others who do their part to make this clear also.

The Jackasses aren't getting a dime from me.

I remember some gun people sending envelopes containing, in cash, two cents U.S. to the Clinton legal defense fund. Can't recall if I followed this example or not... I might have, I didn't at all care for Ole Possum Head... but quite a fistful of such envelopes originated at that gun rally.

Oh, yeeeaahhhh... if he had won we would have been in heaps of trouble by now!

lol...*nothing more to say about this little stouch*

'Cept perhaps what a "stouch" might be... ;)
