Ridgeway84 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 We will become civilised once we learn to live without religion. And inevitably the least corrupt and most civilised nations are also the least religious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ela James Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks all for the wonderful comments and valuable contributions … I am definitely better informed/ educated now than before But I just feel most of what has been said is theoretical and difficult to imagine … Try and answer the following: - Germany - France - UK Which one of the above 3 you think most civilised and why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgeway84 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Harleyman and Peer Gynt will have your guts for that. I didn't realise they were nuts on the subject.

catpus Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 What do we mean when we say “ we live in a civilised world!?”, or what do we mean when we say life in country X is bad because that country in uncivilised? What makes a world civilised and another uncivilised? Tolerance, consideration and education = civilised ---------- Post added 31-08-2013 at 15:31 ---------- you can tell how civilised a country is by: A) the way it treats it's elderly b) the way it treats animals c) whether they believe in capital punishment d) whether they allow other people the freedom to practice their religion e) the way they treat their children ditto!................
