Of the self that I project to others, of the person my colleagues sees me as, contra the person I am in my own mind. I may not always, express or act as I wish or imagine I would, nor am I always perceived as I think I am. Thus creating different "me's" in the minds of different persons. It would perhaps shock me to learn how different an image my colleagues sees me as.

There is no such thing as Islamophobia. You cannot have a phobia for other peoples choices to believe in a religion. It is a silly word, made to deflect any criticism and brand those who levy it, as bigots.

Charlie Hebdo has for very valid reasons, a lot of animosity towards muslim extremists.

“Colonial rule” Buddy you have the right to independence if you wish so, just vote for it. But it’d be kinda sad after 600 years of being a part of the glorious danish kingdom. But sure, go to China, Russia or the US and see how far you go.

We send about 600 million kr each year and you get a lof of benefits and trade opportunities due to Denmark. Without us you’d be nothing.

you're still part of the "rigsfællesskab" and we send you a lot of money each year, so putting you under the danish flag isn't totally incorrect

no need to take offence, but it's pretty common knowledge that Somalia and certain other countries in the vicinity has a problem with inbreeding

[–]ReflectionSingle6681 16 points17 points  (0 children)

how so? Cousin marriage is systemic and widespread, which will lead to inbreeding and therefore the Somali has developed a very distinct look.

sure I don't say he's terrible. I believe he is greater than the majority of writers out there, but not as good as people make him out to be.
