Just goes to show you we were animals a little over fifty years ago. We still are. There are many examples of this, including the treatment of women and homosexuals in the Middle East. Humanity needs to get out of the caves before making real leaps forward. We talk about fighting poverty and hunger yet can't do a thing when faced with blatant in-your-face abuse. We respect the idea of women being mutilated, killed and having to walk under tents in public, even as immigrants in the Western World, out of respect for religion. Sad, considering the delusionary nature of all religions.
- cobrausn 13y agoYou are delusional if you think we have to look to the middle east and religion to find 'people acting like animals'. Take a look at treatment and sentencing of criminals in the west - I think in the future they will wonder how we managed to rationalize it for so long.
- rayiner 13y agoI presume he was listing things in order of the magnitude of outrage, not geographic distance from his person.
- robomartin 13y agoI just grabbed a couple of examples. Surely there's a long list that can be added to mine. Delusional? Probably.
- Wintamute 13y agoI like your second sentence, the first not so much. Where does he say you have to look at the middle east for such examples? He doesn't. Discussion on the internet is fraught enough without making things up to disagree with.
