Selective tolerence

sounds like what's goin on in many muslim countries right now, courtesy of a couple western governments, eh?
Like chcr said, that's because the change has to be made with the culture there,
not try to change each person here. ;)

I personally don't think "reeducation" as such works very well (if at all). You can't simply tell someone, "Virtually everything you've ever believed is wrong." They won't accept it. Neither would I.

Then would someone PLEASE tell me why so many people are trying to do just precisely that? A kid from the sticks is told these very things on a daily basis.

Maybe THAT'S the real issue...it's not a black/white issue. It's not a homo/hetero thing. It's not a Muslim/Christian/Satanist/Athiest/Whateverism thing at all. It isn't even a male/female issue. It's a metro/rural thing after all. See, I knew it! :jester:


Seriously, if we admit that re-education is a failure, that we ourselves would reject it outright, then why do we insist on doing it? :retard3:

Because it's so much fun to tell the other person how wrong they are, no matter what they're doing. It's a misapplication of the 'alpha' societal member. ;)

Seriously, I think it's some of both, but yes mainly the latter. :confused:
and
about the re-education....it probably works in a very small percentage, and
to some that justifies spending millions on it. :lol2:
