Personally I feel very lucky to live in modern times in a Western country; we enjoy a level of affluence and stability only dreamt of by our ancestors. Do I think this will last forever? Of course not. No one knows what the future brings, but human nature seems relatively unchanging from generation to generation, both the good and bad elements. |

I'm in favour of criticising everybody. When did we get to vote that we weren't allowed to criticise this group, that group, etc etc? At the moment we have a system of privileges, in a pecking order, sort of like poker, where a gay female moslem trumps a black atheist who trumps a white Christian. But would he trump a chinese Christian? (I don't know, since I don't make these rules). All the best, Roger Pearse |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_school I'm no lover of political correctness, but it's naive to think that perfect freedom of speech has ever existed in groups larger than two people. |
