Arhag, I wish the world was like you say… But there are some truly shameful beliefs out there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_and_children#Marriage
That is a valid point. Perhaps it was too strong of a statement for me to say "Pedophiles acting out their desires on little children will never be accepted by society" considering that there exists large subsets of global society in the present day who apparently tolerate it. : (
But I still stand by the statement that it is very unlikely that western society will ever tolerate sexual abuse of children in their own jurisdiction. At least, I hope so.
What are the chances that Salon are trying to condition people to not get mad about the inevitable sharia courts in the USA with all the immigration and refugees coming in? I think they’re pretty good…
I think this is bordering on conspiracy theory and I don't agree that it is what is actually happening in this case. But I sure do have a problem with the fact that many so-called liberals seem to no longer stand up for liberal principles for the sake of political correctness. And though I would describe myself as a descriptive and meta-ethical moral relativist, I am certainly not a normative moral relativist, and I think it is a very bad idea to give leeway to proselytization of dangerous ideas through self-censorship of counter-arguments simply because those dangerous ideas are held by a person who is a member of an underprivileged or disadvantaged group.
If western civilization keep on embracing moral relativism, without any standards to objectively define right from wrong...I dont think its that far fetch 10 or 15 years down the road. Especially when news outlet have resident pedophiles.
