If we disagree with something we discuss it, or some do and some pontificate, but some African culture may be more violent. It doesn't make it wrong and to demean it is racist.

To many this may seem extreme but it's their choice and to disparage it is racist.

I will join you in giving up because we are flogging a dead horse (hopefully that phrase hasn’t offended anyone).

I won’t be coming back to this thread so the ‘tolerant’ ones can continue being tolerant

As I've said we have no supremacy in this or anything else.

Western values have caused a lot of misery in this world.

There’s a big difference between a country where the prevailing attitude is towards acceptance and tolerance and a country where throwing young people from the top of tall towers is almost a spectator sport.

It’s not dead, it’s just sleeping.
