No one has called out rpietila for the 'raghead' comment, so I will. Add racist to the list of faults.

You see how little support PC actually has. Shocked

It is one of the many repression techniques forced on us, completely unfounded in logic and not supported by conscience.

(Yes I understand you were being sarcastic, but never miss an opportunity to make a point Wink

)

It's easy to see cultural insensitivity as a non-problem (and complaints about it as illogical) if you're lucky enough to be in a cultural group that isn't typically on the receiving end of such insensitivity. Failing to perceive the problem doesn't make the problem go away, though.

In a free world, people have the liberty to think whatever they want. The proliferation of the concept of "racism" is a 1984-esque thoughtcrime.

Every act of rasistic violence, etc., shall be judged as any act of non-rasistic violence, according to the law.

But when people's thoughts start to be judged, then the freedom of thought is no more.

(I don't want to sound harsh, but the indoctrination of thoughtcrime is a sneaky one, and repelling it is a priority.)

Oh well. I had wanted to visit Malla. If you're in favour of racism (or at least against opposing it) I guess I'll have to assume I might not be welcome.

I had hoped you intended Malla to be a broad Bitcoin retreat, rather than just a white person's Bitcion retreat. I guess I was wrong.

Can't you see how ridiculous that assertion is?? If not, please read the helpful text by another poster:

Odd part to me about this is those preaching tolerance are very effectively using this strategy to unify all beliefs into their own by making it a moral / social crime to believe anything but what they believe. Originally "tolerance" was the idea of allowing everyone to co-exist without persecution.

Marriage should be between man and woman = hating gays = killing gays = nazi germany. It's all equated to each other.

I have no problem with gays getting married. I do have a problem with the faulty pigeonholing / aggregating thought sins as equal to action sins.

My thinking goes like this:

- Everybody has freedom of thought
- Therefore I have freedom of thought
- Someone is gay
- I think it is not good to be gay because the Bible says so and I am not in a position to change it
- But he also has freedom of thought to think it is OK
- I may retain my opinion because my freedom of thought, and he his, and everything is just fine, it's childish to fight over opinions

And in your case:

- Everybody has freedom of thought
- Therefore I have freedom of thought
- Someone is black
- I think it is OK to be black there is nothing in the Bible saying that people shouldn't be black
- everything is just fine

General:

If you infringe people's freedom of thought, you are on a heinous path, much worse than that some people might childishly despise others based on their opinions. Even discussing about the subject from an analytical standpoint (like here) is a thoughtcrime and punishable by at least fines in both where I live and you live. I know people who have been made to pay for their freedom of opinion. This is not a fantasy anymore. If the condition of your coming to Malla is that I or anyone may not freely think whatever our conscience allows to think, then perhaps you should exercise your freedom to not associate with me.

I hope we are on the same side.
