Thanks for your comment Donna. I just get so annoyed by some who just seem to be so ignorant of anything outside of the US. Not that we as Americans are the only ones. Believe me, I have non-American friends from all over and some of them have made comments out of ignorance also. Believing movies or television shows they have seen.

When I was leaving to come to Turkey, one of my girlfriends said what will you, do ride camels.This is someone who is educated and I just couldn't believe she said it. All in all ignorance breeds hate. And in our current world there is no more room for that. I am scared for our whole worlds fate. It doesn't matter to me if you're Christian, Jew, Muslim whatever, we all believe in one God so if you believe this, then God made everyone.
