Excuse me, but are you actually talking about border states? These were not part of what was called 'the North'.

Oops, sorry, next time I will ask you what I should say. 

Happy Saturday to you! :))

That 'rebirth' motif is what characterizes any fascist ideology: there will be sacrifice (of the outsider group) and the true people will be saved. 

Thank you so much for your comprehensive answer, I so much agree with you and wish teachers could be allowed again to express what they are, kids actually appreciate that, as long as the person is genuine and committed. 

What kind of exercise/ teaching approach do you./ did you like the most as a student?

Anything that can attract my attention, get me back into the swing of things, is welcome, it can be a joke, a sensation, an emotion, it doesn't have to become irrational and fake. 

Some people are not able to see the pattern behind the specific case. It's good to go beyond an example, while of course remembering each problem has its specificity, its complexity. 

Who pushed you down this hole and how will you ever climb out of it?

I don't disagree with what you said, I was not particularly addressing one post,  just saying don't lull yourself into thinking the Anglo-Saxon model will protect you.

And you guys seem to ignore the history of Europe, the aftermath of the colonial age. People still mix up quite a lot in Europe...  moreIt had to do with your first post; whether the attacks come immigrants, foreigners, nationals, or veterans, no country is safe.

Excuse me, remember 9/11?

I don't know, I see so much resentment in their words, what's the root of that rancour? It is so much like psychotic kids expressing their hatred towards parental figures. 

I won't respect a custom that establishes an inferior status,  that hinders my freedom to move, to feel, to speak.

Not if the custom means I am not respected.
