This is because sports is how people gain the mentality of playing by the rules and having to cooperate for common goals. This leaves the Western world at a loss to understand people that have no common goals with the West (except to destroy it) and have not trouble breaking the rules when it is to their advantage. People in the west simply have no idea how deadly serious Muslims are. some people have to experience a few attacks to even have the slightest notion of what Muslims mean by "Death to America." It is not a rhetorical device.Avraham https://www.blogger.com/profile/07822433921393627746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7898782635470765614.post-83611935878742662792012-05-04T08:02:03.457-04:002012-05-04T08:02:03.457-04:00Russell-

Given the prevalence of depression among the general population, I'd want to know if there is really anything statistically unusual about this. Sadly, suicide is one of the most common causes of death in young men in the UK.
