Political correctness - rabble rousing - current affairs..

"Intolerance" of any kind is bad. The answer to your question is in the part of my posting that you did not quote! Here it is, in its entirety:



When we are discussing current events, what is/was happening in other countries and what others have done in the past cannot be used as an excuse or justification for the governing party and its volunteers continuing to harass, attack and and kill people for their way of life. What happened in the past was bad; but we don't correct that situation by doing more organized atrocities on people we don't like.

Regards to you too!

You are still missing my point - I have not said ANY OF THESE are excusable because of the past. All I have said is if some one selectively raises their voice & ignores certain events, their credibility will be questioned. The first step to preventing these atrocities is to have a consistent standard.

(The sad story of corruption in TN is precisely because of these - Even in the general public, you'll see this - only bad behavior by one party will be criticized, not the other.)

The reason that other countries are relevant is: our people are raising these issues in other countries. Newspapers in other countries are publishing articles on these happenings - so we are perfectly within our rights to compare our track record vs these other countries.
