There appears to be a double standard between insulting a race or religion, and sex or sexuality... they appear to argue that insulting women or gay people is okay because such discussion is somehow in the public interest, but that insulting a race or religion (middle-eastern people and muslims in particular) is not in the public interest? Seems arbitrary.
- lallysingh 10y agoThe part of the comment that got it rejected: >This problem will not end unless a significant portion of the middle east is sterilized and even then you would still have to sterilize Iran and possibly Saudi Arabia The sterilization was the reason for rejection.
- emodendroket 10y agoIt just seems like an odd place to draw the line; the stuff about women isn't really going to foster a productive discussion either.
- lostmsu 10y agoTo be honest, he did not suggest to sterilize them. So his statement might be technically correct (the best kind of correct). E.g. it might actually be true.
- loeg 10y agoDitto the misogynistic slur. Insulting 50% of people is okay, insulting all of the middle east isn't.
