i personally do not see anything wrong with having bigoted points of view.
its human nature and it isn't really my place to judge someone else by how they think in order to give their lives a little validity.
same with drugs or alcohol. whatever people need to get through their day i still don't see a problenm with it.
i don't see a problem with people espousing their POV as well. i am not that sensitive a bloke to think that their may or may not be some truth in what beowulf says.
whatever people feel or think is their prerogotive. i think that being politically coorect is worse than being a bigot, IMO. because at least with the bigot you know where they are coming from and how they think. with the PC person, their beliefs change with public opinion. i never know how to get along with such dishonesty.
kudo's beowulf for having an opinion. i appreciate the free thought.
There's nothing wrong in expressing a view, no, but I do see a problem when expressing that view can result in people getting hurt, however. Replace "Muslim" with "Jew" in beowulf's posts, and you'll be halfway to what the Nazis were up to years before the politically correct world did anything about it.
Liberals have been warning about neo-Nazi style anti-Muslim pogroms ever since 9/11. Well, they haven’t happened. Meanwhile, we have had Muslim terrorist attacks in London, Madrid, Beslan, Bombay, Israel, Egypt, Jordan etc etc etc.
www.thereligionofpeace.com lists 5,601 of them.
You see, liberals are more concerned with hypothetical hate crimes that
might (they hope?) be committed by whites than with actual hate crimes committed by Muslims.
This is something of a double standard. I could keep pointing out liberal double standards till I’m blue in the face, but liberals will keep on applying them, because that is what being a liberal is all about.
You see, liberals want a society where every individual is “liberated†from shared moral or cultural values. Essentially, liberals believe in nothing, and they value nothing. To value something means to discriminate against something else. So, to a liberal, who sneers at old-fashioned ideas like morality, the highest good is “non-discrimination†itself (aka “toleranceâ€), while the greatest evil is dicrimination.
Now, the liberal sees Western culture as a symbol of discrimination by virtue of its very existence – its existence as the dominant culture of the West. Therefore, in order for Western society to be morally redeemed, Western culture itself must be destroyed. People who try to assert traditional Western values (i.e., WASPs) must be vilified, while cultural aliens who assert their values must be celebrated.
The double standard again – cultural aliens are not subjected to the same harsh judgements because they merely serve as objects that the liberal uses to demonstrate their piety.
And the more unassimilable and hostile these cultural aliens are, the more enthusiastically liberals will defend them, the more pious those liberals will feel, the bigger will be the politically correct lies that have to be told, and the more “racist†it will become to speak the truth. This is why liberals get such an extra-special kick out of denying the Muslim problem.
And since liberals have basically no moral concepts beyond “toleranceâ€, they don’t credit anyone else with any further concept of morality either. This is why, to a liberal, there are only three types of people in the world: liberals, Nazis and protected minorities. Any white person who doesn’t go along with the liberal belief in the meaninglessness of cultural differences is therefore a Nazi.
Now odeon has mentioned the Nazis above. There are many people who have learnt completely the wrong lessons from the Holocaust. They think the worst thing about the Nazis was that they “discriminatedâ€, or even that they were white people with a racial consciousness, rather than the fact that they were systematic mass murderers.
This kind of helps explain why so few people seem too bothered about the evils of Communism, which has killed something like 100 million people in the name of “equalityâ€.
So, anyway, in order for Europeans to cure themselves of their “intolerance†after 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, they let in 20 million people from the most intolerant – and anti-Semitic – culture on earth. How ironic.
