I note that in the US a Bachelor of Science is not, as it is here in Canada a BSc, but is instead a BS. But then our friends to the south do seem to have made a science out of it. (~grin~) Eh, are accredited colleges and universities are…

OBS isn't bad, but people who disagree with you are bound to emphasize the BS part...damn acronyms. (^_^) Oh well, we had a political party here in Canada almost call themselves Conservative Reform Alliance Party...till they put it…

What an amazing and inspiring story. Welcome Showan! I would be very interested to look at your book though I am by no means a person who could help with editing or anything like that.

Shame about the acronym. I believe S.O.B. means "Son of a Bitch" in the US. They even made a film about it - a bad one. But welcome to Nexus, Showan.

Introducing myself

Hello everyone, I do not know what exactly interests you to know about me. I guess, origin will be one thing. I am a Kurd from mixed background. Grew up speaking one language (Turkmani) and belonging to another ethnicity/politically, yet studying in a third language (Arabic).

Showan khurshid replied to John Smith's discussion 'Is Capitalism more dangerous than religion today?'
Nonsense, you have not read Marx prescribing terrorism, or disregarding liberalism. Nor you know anything about the conditions required to achieve democracy. Democracy does not succeed without liberalism.

This socialist culture you are advocating is completely sick if you think capitalism is worse than religions. I am not defending capitalism. What I object to is the Marxist understanding of capitalism and the Marxist understanding of liberal…

Hello and welcome to this fine international site and its many thousands of clever people like you who recognise religion for the giant fraud that it is. Gods exist only inside human heads where too much brain space is taken up by illogical rubbish.

Terry Meaden (English; 60+) originator of the busy discussion group
"ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Earth, Humankind, Fossils, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 235 discussion topics.
We invite you to come and see, and to make good new friends.
