Dwade Shooting During Canadian Anthem

[JimiCliff]

he didn't apologize

'I'm Dwayne Wade, my greatness is eternal and everlasting, and cannot be tainted by my choices or actions.' Total apology.

Wade doesn't need to apologize because he told us all we're not allowed to be offended.

he didn't apologize

Wade didn't exactly apologized though.. Am I missing something?

He said he wasn't trying to be disrespectful. To me that's close enough of an apology. I don't think he was being malicious. Just ignorant.

3 things in the history of the human race have started wars

1) Religion
2) Patriotism
3) Territory

It's not a good thing.

So you think if we don't have borders or distinguished cultures or beliefs none of the wars would have happen?! long before we had countries we humans were killing each others.

This is true but how he said it, how the NBA ignored it and how the American media reacted to the Canadian reaction makes it really easy to get our hate on for this double standard.

[Raptor Jesus]

This is absurd.

You're talking about propaganda. You're talking about people in control telling lies or exaggerating factual information to scare the public in to following along. Show me something where a country pitches wars or death because they're so proud of their country. You can't. It's always about retaliation or a preemptive strike because the danger is so great.

Love of one's home, culture and community is all healthy. Appreciation of sovereignty is important to a country's health.

My statement is a bit misleading about "starting wars". my bad.

Patriotism does allow the political power to rally the troops and actually go to war though. It's a main driver because countries don't go to war without the support of their people...

Absolutely.

Religion is the biggest offender today, and well since religion first started. Many wars are not born out of religious ideals, but the people in power use religion to reinforce and rally the people to go to war. So I guess my say "started wars" is a bit inaccurate but you get what I mean.

Territory was more of a historical thing....

Off topic but I disagree. Ignorance is the problem.

But ignorance is intertwined with Religion and Patriotism, and generally perpetuate more ignorance

If there were no religion or patriotism it would be something else for humanity is tribal by nature.
