Million on 09 April 2008
| rocketpig said: I didn't explain myself well enough , obviously all majorities aren't the same (I think you was just taking the word "majority" for it's pure meaning as opposed to trying to interprit what I was saying). All the students 90% of the school's population ("School population" including teachers,supervisors and other staff) can vote in favour of the school canteen being closed down , despite the vast number of people desiring a closure of the canteen their majority vote isn't as effective as say 75% of the teaching and supervisory staff wanting the canteen to remain open. Society in in this modern day context has the power because democracy gave them that , the slave trade remained until the most powerful and influencial people didn't want it . I made the assumption that you'd understand that I meant majoirty in the context of democratic decision making. I get what you're saying but it's still not right. It may happen and will continue to happen, but it's not right. "Majority Rule" is just another way of saying "Fuck the Minority" with a little tact. |
I think censorship is good to an extent ( I don't want cars nerfed at 15Mph and everyone wearing bullet proof vest's) so in the censorship side of things I disagree with you.
I do however believe that it's only being censored because it's the most convenient thing for them to do "Fuck the minority" as you said. If they could make billions of pounds from the minority then the situation would be entirley different.
