I find that inhabitants of first world countries lack a certain degree of perspective. There are laws to societal development, not unlike the laws of physics. Some things must happen in a certain order; skipping steps results in catastrophes. It's easy to argue unequivocally against censorship if you've lived in the U.S. your entire life. If this is your stance, I challenge you to visit India and see the massive scale of poverty, lack of basic infrastructure and education first hand. I mean, it's really not like here over there. You have got to see it to understand. It won't be so easy to trivialize these issues after that.
- diego_moita 17y agoI live in a 3rd World country also with massive poverty (Brazil) and I don't know what you're talking about. The only "law to societal development" that I know is that citizens should be free to do whatever doesn't harm other people. And opinions don't count as "harm". I think China would be a much better place to live if their political institutions where more like the ones in your country. India is an example for China to follow.
