So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Who can disagree. | Multi-cultural Conversations Friday. 10.19.12 5:30 am Me: Where are you from?
Algerian Girl: I'm from Algeria. Me: And you? Guadeloupean Girl: I'm from Guadeloupe Me: Oh, I always wanted to visit Guadeloupe. I read about it in a book, "La Papillon dans la Cit�" GG: Oh, I have read that book as well! AG: So we are all foreigners here, aren't we? Isn't it funny how we naturally separate ourselves from the french? Me: Well Guadeloupe is technically a part of France, isn't it? GG: Oh yes, we are part of the Outre-Mer [overseas territories] AG: How long has Guadeloupe been a part of France? GG: Since ages ago, maybe the 1600s. AG: The French were in Algeria since the 1800s. We finally kicked them out but they didn't want to leave, did they? No they sure dragged their feet leaving! The French are such bastards!!!! Me&GG: ...... Several weeks later.... AG: So, do people in the United States ever talk about Algeria? Me: Um... well.... eh....... not really. AG: [disappointed] Oh. I thought maybe that was the case. Me: Well, they've been talking about Algeria more lately. AG: REALLY!?!? Why? Me: Well, um, I guess ever since the protests across Northern Africa and the Middle East, they've been talking about Libya and Algeria and Tunisia more... mostly Libya though. Yeah. [I didn't want to tell her that the only reason I knew about Algeria as a kid was because I wanted to be like Jean-Claude Van Damme and join the French Foreign Legion..... looking back I guess I totally missed the point of Lionheart] =========================================================================== Egyptian Guy: Arabs are ridiculous, seriously. American Guy: But you're not an Arab? EG: NO! I speak Coptic. Well, I speak Arabic, too, but I'm not an Arab, I'm Egyptian. Let me tell you about Arabs: You know how when you hear Chinese people talking to each other, you always think they are fighting? But then it turns out that they aren't fighting, they're just having a conversation and it's just their language that makes them sound like that? Or you know when South American people, they have a big fight and yell at each other and then they love each other again in the next minute? Yeah, Arabs don't do that. If you hear two Arabs yelling at each other, they really hate each other, down to the very core. Me: Are they like, "I curse you and your family for five generations!" EG: Wait a minute, do you know lots of Arabic people? Me: No. EG: Then how did you know that they do that? Me: I was just guessing... EG: Because that is exactly what they DO! They curse you and your family for five generations! And let me tell you, Arabs never think about anything with depth. It is always on the surface with them. Me: But what about all of the Arabic mathematicians and philosophers....? EG: THEY WERE NOT ARABIC! Everyone just says that everyone that lives in the Middle East are Arabs but they're NOT! The Arabs were just barbarians that took everyone over, and inherited all of their technology and philosophy from the civilizations they conquered! They got their medicine from Egypt, their mathematics from the Persians... everything else from the Berbers and the Spanish! AG: Ok, well, you can say that, but I'm not allowed to say that. EG: Yes, yes, you're not allowed to say that, that's true. But I can say that! I speak Coptic! The Arabs don't let us speak it, they want us to only speak Arabic! The Arabs have nothing. The Qur'an has nothing philosophically profound in it at all. AG: Can I quote you on that? EG: QUOTE ME ALL YOU WANT! Recommended by 2 Members   3 Comments. Wow. So it's not just Americans. Cool. » middaymoon on 2012-10-19 06:48:08 OMG, the Egyptian guy is hilarious! ROFL!! Though he might have to be careful there, someone might issue a fatwa on him for saying that last sentence » Nuttz on 2012-10-19 10:16:23 WOW, those aren't conversations you'd be able to have here at all! Very cool you get to hear those kinds of opinions. » Amelie on 2012-10-19 12:05:54
