good afternoon everyone.

 

In America, one is innocent until proven guily. We also have a system in place, when one is convicted of a sexual crime, they are placed on a website. Anyone can access this site. So when you decide to move to a new neighbor, you see how many sexual pretators are in your neighborhood. Everyone knows and no need to take matters into your own hands. 

 

Also I think in most Muslim countries, women and girls are not special and not protected. If one is convicted of rape;  The rapist is found and jailed. No one cares of the girls virginity and its not kept a secret. until your country and people as a whole see sexual exploitation as a CRIME, then no justice will insue.  We do not protect the male rapist, but in turkey you do and you solve the problem, by having the rapist marry the victim....... This is unthickable in the rest of the world. 

 

I hope your country starts changing the laws.... This is sad. thanks

 so what is your point here dear miss all-know?

libra was trying to steal our attention from the real problem just like always (your school).

she called it a simple mob attack.

 

and dont you ever teach me.

 

I´m sorry you feel that way. You know, I do not think anyone can teach anyone. It´s just like putting crumbs out for birds. Some will take them, others will not. Some won´t even see them.

Dear Aenigma,

 

 

Thank you for your reply. First of all, nothing in my paragrahs stated that America is the promised land. its my opinion and observations from years of experience with dealing with different cultures, and people from all over the world.

 

The beauty of being humans is that we think and can make educated decisions, based on facts and information. I gave some facts of what America is doing with sexual predators because its a huge problem in this country as well. In America its the land of many. All cultures and different religions,  living in close proximity of each other. For example, in Astoria Queens,  you will have a Greek Restuarant and next to it, a Russian, and so forth. This is what makes America great. All cultures in 1 block. living and working together, even though our thought and feelings are different, we try to repect them.  We try to live with each other. Everyone is a unique individual with unique thoughts and feelings. But, @ least we do not go and mob someone because we think they are guilty of a crime. We must try and be civil and allow the laws that we voted for,  the people, put in place via votes to occur.  I hope this helps;  My intentions are not to insult anyones religion, country, ethnic background.  We should, be able to be different and not be worried that who I am will kill me.  Im very tolerant of others´ thoughts and feelings, thats what makes us civil and not animalistic.  By the way, Im Cuban American.  thanks.

 

Im new to this website, so forgive me, if im not emailing correctly.

this is not even slightly true. You`re only accepted by the society in America if you`re white and christian. haven`t you heard of the racial threats around America after Obama got elected president? even schoolscildren chanted "assainate Obama".

Lynching is in fact a long American tradition. According to the statistics,

From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the United States. Of these people that were lynched 3,446 were black.

Don`t tell us that in America, people respect all the minorities, that`s just a cheap lie, and I know this from experience, I also know how Americans still hate Cubans just like they hate Mexicans. Not to mention about muslims and middle esatern people of course.

I just wanted to tell what cubanita said is not true. if you have a counter-argument proving Americans don`t hate anyone, don`t hesitate to share it with us.
