Hi, BOB KLAHN! How are you?   
   on Thursday, 15 of March, I read your message to ALEXANDER KORYAGIN   
   about "Writing about the first amendment"   
      
    FS>>> In fact here's the definition of "nationalism": 1. Devotion to   
    FS>>> the interests or culture of one's nation.   
    AK>> It is even impossibe to imagine that a modern country in this   
    AK>> world (except Israel) is capable to proclaim that a particular   
    AK>> nationality is the main nationality in the country.   
      
      
    BK> Japan can do it quite well, as they are a very homogeneous country.   
    BK> Their variations are mainly the Caucasian Ainu who have lived there   
    BK> for centuries if not millenia, Koreans who moved to Japan or were   
    BK> moved to Japan when Japan ruled Korea, and European whites who have   
    BK> moved there in recent years. All small numbers.   
      
   But there was time when Japan expanded their homogeneous country to the   
   areas inhabited by other nations. They occupied China, Korea. You   
   probably remember a movie with Bruce Lee where Chinese people were not   
   allowed to the city's park because the Chinese were considered a second   
   grade people.   
      
   In other words we see the same thing: while you do not infringe rights   
   of other nationals you can built a homogeneous nationalistic society,   
   but Japan is a bright example what will follow if such a policy go on   
   for a long time. Such a state becomes an aggressor because the people of   
   such a country consider themselves higher than other people. Woe to the   
   world peace if such a nation is armed from top to toe.   
      
    AK>> is the main nationality in the country. Every nationality must   
    AK>> have equal rights. We live in the 21-st century. The Scotch are   
    AK>> going to proclaim their independence, but surely they will not   
    AK>> proclime their nation dominant, and Englishmen as a second grade   
    AK>> nation, incapacitated from voting.   
      
    BK> They had the same fight in Canada, and Ireland.   
      
   Well, anyway, we must not IMHO consider old bloody crimes as a   
   justification for modern wars and discrimination.   
      
      
    AK>> is in Israel. People who populate the territory can be called   
    AK>> Israeli, but they are Jews, Arabs, etc.   
    BK> Actually, they are Jews, Muslims and Christians mostly. The Jews   
    BK> were mostly Arabs until recently in historical terms. Same for   
    BK> Christians. After all, that is where Christianity began, and it was   
    BK> not outsiders moving in who started it, but locals. Probably the   
    BK> Arabs should start advertising the fact that Jesus was not only a   
    BK> Jew, but he was also an Arab.   
      
   And "God chosen people" term must stop circulate. Because it is   
   impossible to prove who are Jews - "God chosen people" or "God cursed   
   people." The second variant probably has even stronger argumentation.   
   That's why it is necessary to built a country where religion is   
   separated from state. Jews believe that God helps them now, but actually   
   they are helped but aggression, money, lawlessness; and all this has   
   taken a form of their new god.   
      
   [...The most rediculous way to get in hell - to stumble against the    
   paradise   
   threshold and say "Fu%k!!!"]   
   Bye BOB!
