| setsunatenshi said: When I say educate, I don't mean it in a condescending way like "I know you're dumb, but let me explain you exactly why you're a dumb ass" kind of way. I mean educate by the way of naturally exposing people to new groups of people, new experiences and then let them naturally realize there's a lot more they have in common than what separates them. I'm an atheist myself, so I'm painfully aware of how some discussions go. But in your example it would be the akin to ban someone for having irrational beliefs. No matter how wrong they are, I would never advocate for banning someone because they disagree with me. I would much rather having these people feeling ok to share their opinions in the open than having them feel like the victims and holding even stronger to such stupid beliefs. |
I know what you meant and still my point will stand as many of them aren't open to that it's just how some people are, my example would more be akin to banning someone who is extremist much like we already do now.
That's all well and good but many of these people are using their views only on actual victims and vulnerable people in the open they'd never step to someone who has the guile to take them on freedom of expression is also not freedom of consequence many of them refuse to be open to a change of view or to be educated so that scenario is the bed they've chosen and made.
