Our problem is intolerance, Ana? That is an absurd idea. It is ridiculous to even mention it. If one complains about intolerant people, one is being intolerant of intolerant people. Basically what those who claim we are intolerant want us to say is that everyone can have an opinion, EXCEPT the opinion that others are wrong. That is a ludicrous position, one brought on by the moral realtivistic and ethically bankrupt society of today. It also reeks of pantheism, which is extremely hard to defend.

I'm not saying the war on Iraq is good or that America is perfect or anything like that, but it is not because we are intolerant that we have done things.

You can use all the concepts you want... but its clearly INTOLERANCE that puts all of us in this dramatic world full of wars...unless you dont know the meaning of intolerance...(do you? )

Intolerance is based in prejudice, and can lead to discrimination....Common forms of intolerance include racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, religious intolerance, and intolerance of differing political views.

now I noticed the Islamic world exists? I always knew about the Islamic world. Unlike most, I actually know some history--something America's public school system does a crappy job of teaching, like almost everything else--and know just how big a problem they have always been. Try to think of a major period in the last 13 centuries when the Middle East HASN'T had lots of problems.... Won't happen.

I didnt say literally YOU Stephen! And Im sure you know History....(btw you have a very good knowledge in History issues... ) but this has nothing to do with my point...I was refering to US governors who obviously ignored other countries until 11/09 attacks...

As for proving your point... I said "I" Don't care what they think. My country for the most part does, but as far as my bias versus their bias, DUH! Of course I am biased. And I said I don't care what they think, not what they do.

I am surprised, you being somewhat feminist, that you don't hold a rather large grudge against Islam for continually holding your entire gender in relative contempt.

You know..you were offline for a while...so it must explain your innacurate statement...in the thread about muslim cartoons posted by Chase...I said that muslim women seemed to be more willing to changes...because they were so opressed that need these changes...

and yeah....being the only woman posting regularly on Political Banter..I need to be a feminist to defend women here ...lol

And as for the social rights thing, you are doing what I said not to. You claim they are important but have no basis for that. You can't just out of thin air claim something is important. Are you religious Ana? If not, where do you gt the idea that social rights are important? After all, in America we have plenty, and you seem to hate America.[

Wow...only being a religious woman I can see the social rights as important things?? Did I say that in America you dont have social rights? I dont remember saying this absurd...unless you are refering to the title of this thread...huh? ..

Also...explain to me what do you consider as social rights...
