On more serious side (from http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/the-true-believers )
Harris: I just want to point out that this effort to get at root causes only ever runs in one direction. No one doubts the political and economic justifications that people give for their behavior. When someone says, "Listen, I murdered my rich neighbor because I knew he kept a pile of money in a safe. I wanted that money, and I didn't want to leave a witness," nobody looks for an ulterior explanation for that behavior. But when someone says, "I think infidels and apostates deserve to burn in hell, and I know for a fact that I'll go to paradise if I die while waging jihad against them," many academics refuse to accept this rationale at face value and begin looking for the political or economic reasons that they imagine lie beneath it. So the game is rigged
Wood: Yes. However, the countervailing current in social science is the tradition in ethnography and anthropology of taking seriously what people say. And this can lead to the exact opposite of the materialist, "root causes" approach. When Evans-Pritchard, for example, talks about witchcraft among the Azande, he's describing exactly what they say and showing that it's an internally consistent view of the world. This is something that anthropology has done quite well in the past, and it gives us a model for how we can listen to jihadis and understand them without immediately assuming that they are incapable of self-knowledge.
What I'm arguing for in the piece is not to discard either type of explanation but to remember the latter one and take the words of these ISIS people seriously. Even though at various points in the past we've ignored political or material causes, this doesn't mean that ideology plays no role, or that we should ignore the plain meaning of words.
Of course, we don't know what people actually think. Maybe they're self-deluded; maybe they don't really believe in the literal rewards of martyrdom. We can't know; we're not in their heads. But this lack of knowledge cuts both ways. Why do so many people instantly resort, with great confidence, to a material explanation—even or especially when the person himself rejects it? It's a very peculiar impulse to have, and I consider it a matter of dogma for many people who study jihadists.
Harris: Yes, especially in cases where a person meets none of the material conditions that are alleged to be the root causes of his behavior. We see jihadis coming from free societies all over the world. There are many examples of educated, affluent young men joining organizations like al-Qaeda and the Islamic State who lack any discernible material or political grievances. They simply feel a tribal connection to Muslims everywhere, merely because they share the same religious identity. We are seeing jihadis travel halfway around the world for the privilege of dying in battle who have nothing in common with the beleaguered people of Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, or Somalia whose ranks they are joining, apart from a shared belief in the core doctrines of Islam.
The other side of this coin, of course, is that even the most grotesque, seemingly nihilistic actions of the Islamic State become perfectly rational—which is to say, straightforwardly self-interested—given the requisite beliefs. Once you imagine what it would be like to actually believe in paradise, and in martyrdom as the surest way of getting there, it becomes obvious why someone would want to join the Islamic State. If a person truly believes that the Creator of the universe wants him to wage war against the evil of unbelief and that the Islamic State is the very tip of His spear, he has to be insane not to join the cause.
Harris: I now have a rogues' gallery in my mind of pseudo-liberals, both Muslim and not, who are reflexive apologists for theocracy. These people will deny, at every turn, the link between deeply held religious convictions and bad behavior. According to them, all the mayhem we see in the Middle East is "blowback." Everything is a
product of our callous meddling in the affairs of other countries. We have no enemies in the world but the ones we've made for ourselves by being bad actors and rapacious guzzlers of oil. Many of these people appear to have been bewitched by Noam Chomsky.

"Stereotypes are everywhere, and they cover almost everything. We all
create stereotypes. Even the God is a stereotype. Our first ideas
about the world are stereotypes. We learn about the world through the
sets of opposed stereotypes, no-yes, yummy-yuck, good-bad. We adopt
the world around us and adapt to it through stereotypes. Stereotypes
are formulas, structures of primary knowledge, organizing principle of
that knowledge. Stereotypes are also a way of individualization: there
is myself and there are no others. Our mental home is furnished with
stereotypes. Stereotypes form a signal system: with their aid we
travel through the world. Left and right, devil is black, the angel is
white. Even the facts are adopted as stereotypes: the earth is round.
...
I grew up in the environment populated with interesting stereotypes:
Bulgarians were "black" (Crni bulgari), Gypsies were stealing small
children, Serbs were primitive barbarians, Gypries in a word, Croats
were all "faggots", Muslims had six toes-fingers and were all dummies,
Italians ate live cats, Montenegrins were not people but turtles,
that's how lazy they were, male Slovenians were all suckers, joddlers,
while female Slovenians were "girls with round heels", "slots". I had
an exciting "multi-culti" childhood.
Adopting stereotypes and breaking them is a constant process of
learning. Furnishing our mental home and refurnishing it. We finally
learn that the sentence "Turks are dirty" does not contain any message
but: "We are clean".
...
The question is how to communicate, really, in the world jammed by
stereotypes, images, and labels, how to communicate if, as it seems,
every word needs an explanatory footnote, how to deal with the
identity problem imposed by others, how to be heard first and than
understood properly?
Living abroad, to my big surprize, I did not achieve freedom to not be
labelled. Abroad I am regularly adressed as a Croatian writer. I
became a representative of a country which I left and in which I do
not exist anymore. I would not mind it so much but my texts, even if I
would write a recipee for goulash, are very often read through the set
of stereotypes the reader has about the part of the world I am coming
from. Book reviewers often find in my texts meanings which are not
produced by text itself. Or, they rather choose not to review my
books: We can't, we don't know anything about Croatia.
...
The problem of artistic, cultural, intellectual communication in the
world of stereotypes, images, global market, global culture and
domination of American mass-culture is a problem of our time. .... And
to go back to stereotypes: however we try to fight them, we will find
them everywhere, today they are softer, more attractive and more
resistant, because they learned how to mutate. A Bosnian Muslim kid
recently asked its mother: Mom, is it true that all the Muslims are
lesbians?

 | Your beliefs most closely resemble those of Buddhism. Do more research on Buddhism and possibly consider becoming Buddhist, if you are not already. In Buddhism, there are Four Noble Truths: (1) Life is suffering. (2) All suffering is caused by ignorance of the nature of reality and the craving, attachment, and grasping that result from such ignorance. (3) Suffering can be ended by overcoming ignorance and attachment. (4) The path to the suppression of suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path, which consists of right views, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right-mindedness, and right contemplation. These eight are usually divided into three categories that base the Buddhist faith: morality, wisdom, and samadhi, or concentration. In Buddhism, there is no hierarchy, nor caste system; the Buddha taught that one's spiritual worth is not based on birth.

Povzetek raziskav vpliva staršev na razvoj otrok.
"It is clear, however, that existing research provides no basis for believing that children's best interests are served by family conflict or secrecy about a parent's gay or lesbian identity, or by requirements that a lesbian or gay parent maintain a household separate from that of a same-sex partner." (prav tam)
V prevodu (približno):
Vsekakor izsledki raziskav niti najmanj ne podpirajo prepričanja, da je za otroka najboljša družina, v kateri istospolna identiteta staršev ni jasna ali pa se jo prikriva, niti da je za otroka boljše, če živijo istospolno usmerjeni starši in njihovi partnerji v ločenem gospodinjstvu.
To v naslovu je bil moj prvi vtis po zmenku. Zdaj sem malo prespal ter premislil in mislim, da je bilo zelo fino, da sva se dobila. Zdaj se lažje
pogovarjava. Zdi se mi, da Jakca poznam že celo življenje. Sicer moje družabne spretnosti, kot je dajanje komplimentov in ustvarjanje primernega vzdušja ne blestijo najbolj. Sva šla v Predvor. In sva klepetala, da se je kar kadilo. Jaka je poln
mladostnega zanosa in življenja. Je odkrit, neposreden, skrben,
ljubeč.
... vznemirljivo in zanimivo, drugačno je sprejemljivo, drugačno je
dragoceno. Otroci so spoznali, da naš način življenja ni edini
zveličaven, najboljši ali samoumeven.
