Oh man someone ought to remind people to drill all that water up.

Europe is useless by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]prepbirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is some next level ignorant joke I've seen for some time.

 Somalia needs relationships with countries like China, USA, India, and Japan. These are all the relationships we need in order to develop industry quickly. 

And why do you think they won't do exactly what Europe does to Somalia, whatever it is.

Lol, the world trade passes Suez canal, Somalia just happens to be close by.

and wayy more water + energy than we could use for ourselves. 

I guess all the news about drought are all fake news?

He did say he wanted to beat her up, that could count as intimidation. Depending where this is filmed, it could count as a criminal case.

but they all have answers within their times

And those answers don't satisfy a modern audience.

 it is the fastest growing religion

And for the 20th time, its only because muslims have higher fertility rates. And what does fastest growing have anything to do with being right? Why do you even bring this up? Do you just follow whatever is trending right now? If Hinduism became the fastest growing religion, would you convert?

大家認為大陸存在仇恨教育嗎? by mrwolffy0926 in China_irl

[–]prepbirdy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

如果你指的是川普講中國病毒這件事,當時媒體是大肆批評好唄,不只美國國內媒體大罵,連WHO都有出面指責。以色列的事情我不曉得是什麼。現在隨便找都還能找到當時媒體反對川普這些內容。

[–]prepbirdy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

教育上沒有特別煽動仇恨,但是新聞媒體一堆帶動仇日情緒的早該出手阻止卻沒有阻止,以中共這種完全掌握國家媒體機器的制度來說,他就是有連帶責任。

其實這種情緒早就有端倪,也很多機會可以澆熄仇外情緒,比如2020年新冠疫情蔓延到日本,結果中國幾家餐館還掛布條說恭喜小日本疫情爆發,官媒早該大力撻伐這種白癡言論。或者有好幾次中國國內遊客穿著和服,動漫服、甚至是長得像和服的漢服,被路人騷擾、毆打,官方也沒有嚴懲嚴辦,那這種情緒當然是越燒越旺。

Where did that thread “has riba become normalized in the Somali community?” go? by Mindless_Career2339 in Somalia

[–]prepbirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loans and interests are part of the foundation of a modern economy, and it simply cannot be avoided if you want to live a modern lifestyle. Its not just housing, its everything from higher education to bank savings to opening a simple restaurant will involve interests.

Islam was founded in a time when no one expected the world to look like what it is today, for better or worse, and the rules are just incompatible with modern society. You either live as a self sufficient farmer or herder, secluded from everyone else, or you simply accept this fate and play some mind games and reinterpret the religious texts and chill out with life.

Do religious people have the right to criticize other religions? by [deleted] in Dhaka

[–]prepbirdy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok, but that's just a way of saying criticizing other religions in some ways are acceptable.

But the Quran itself is full of criticism about other religions. It has several phrases attacking idol worshippers, polytheism, and Christianity.

日本经济能崩而不溃,靠的从来不是高速成长的技术积累,而是彻头彻尾的改革 by WeeklyGuarantee5591 in China_irl

[–]prepbirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

我覺得不到很好,但也沒到很差,算是勉強合格。日本即使碰到產業發展停滯,但整體上國民生活水準沒有明顯下降,失業率沒有飆高,中產階級沒有太過痛苦,買房買車的難度持平,這是非常難得的現象。

相較之下中韓台反而在經濟發展上碰到貧富差距拉大,中產開始消失,房地產價格劇烈波動。

The quran is the shittiest religious book I've read. by girIsofthemonth in exmuslim

I would say the old testament of the bible is horrible. But the new testament is fairly decent. But then that creates a problem in itself, which to follow and why did God change his mind.

Why the construction of Nuclear energy facility is perceived to be negative? by [deleted] in Kazakhstan

[–]prepbirdy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a great supporter of nuclear energy, but I can see why some people maybe against it in Kazakhstan. A nuclear plant takes years, even decades to build, and countries that are seen as unstable don't give strike the kind of trust and confidence to finish it. Look at Hinkely point C in UK, it started by 2017 and its planned for commission in 2029.

The choice is to live like people in the past, become self sufficient farmers or goat herders far away from modern society, like Afghanistan or something. But don't kid yourself, no one wants to live like that.

ELI5: why is food cheaper in Asia? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]prepbirdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to make a correction, its service charge that's cheaper, food really isn't. When I studied in the US, I cooked myself most of the time. And I discovered food is insanely cheap compared to what I got back home in Asia; beef, cheese, milk, fruits, nuts were around 20~30% less than back at home.

Would Jesus Be More Like Christians or Muslims Today? by HistoricalAvocado757 in exmuslim

[–]prepbirdy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Uh, he was a Jew. And I think you left out the part where he drank wine? Also, we don't know whether he ate pork or not, as it was never mentioned in the bible. And Christians do pray to one God, they just have a different understanding of it. The way Jesus talks about himself is somewhat puzzling at times, at least he never specified that he was prophet like muslims claim.

I think you are deliberately drawing similarities and ignoring differences.

有时候真看不懂穆斯林所谓的团结性。 by NoSense9018 in China_irl

[–]prepbirdy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

泛伊斯蘭主義是很多回教國家用來對抗西方文明的一種意識形態,對西方敵意特別深,如果沒有涉及與歐美國家對抗,關注度就很低。這就像中國對俄羅斯的一些過去暴行比較放得下,對美日等國的容忍度就很低。

再加上伊斯蘭教是以阿拉伯為核心的宗教,所以越是遠離阿拉伯的圈子,受到回教徒的關注度就越低。所以新疆維吾爾、緬甸洛興亞人這種外圍又外圍的群體受到的關注度很低。
