Kyros said: You should respect others.
Yes you should! But in an appropriate scale.
Vegetarians that do not like me to eat meat will still have to cope with this terrible situation of me eating a burger. Homosexuals will have to live with the fact that gay is a word for bad in modern youth language. Jews have to live with the fact that Comics from Muslim countries depict them as Satan's spawn.
And Muslims should damn well live with the fact that people use words from the Kuran in a non-derogatory manner in art, music and other places.
This is not done because of respect but because they are scared like hell of some crazy guy blow himself up at SCEE. And honestly that's a stupid thing to do because the crazy idiot will simply look for the next possibility. So the more attention you give him the worse it becomes. |
How curious.
I never thought I'd find myself agreeing with Kyros about something, and yet here I am.
There's a simple truth about tolerance; it does not mean that other people have to follow what you believe, or that they must somehow rearrange their lives to suit YOUR beliefs. All tolerance means is that they have to let you practice what you believe in without bothering you.
Expecting other people to follow the creed of your religion isn't tolerance, anyone. It sure as hell ain't what freedom of religion is about. If some people are offended at two short quotations appearing in the game that's unfortunate, and if Sony decides for commerical reasons to pull the game as a result, so be it. But those who are saying that the rest of us shouldn't have the right to do things that go against your beliefs...sorry pals, but it don't work that way.
