Really ?
Is there a joke here I'm missing ?
That's your default setting ?

Well yes, there is a joke here. But I'm afraid it's on you. Because if all beliefs are equal, then ridiculing the belief that they aren't is hypocrisy.

It goes along with cultural relativism.

If there's anything that Peon can't be accused of, it's cultural relativism.

Well, given enough sustained pressure from all of you concerned parties over there, put together, I might just one day become the cultural oppressor that you so dearly want and need to make your lives complete. Get that red coat ready, just in case.

But it doesn't apply to beliefs that are seen to be the byproducts of oppressive views, obviously. If all lefties, including myself, were to accept that kind of cultural relativism, there'd be no more arguments on this forum.

More along the lines of everyone is equal but some are more equal then others.

What I find troubling,what I found startling and asked in my second post in this particular exchange was...in essence...is that your default setting ?
Because I START from a point where I am wanting to find common ground and a basis for respect,the way Aylee made it sound that's simply too much bother and not worth the effort.
Now if I am missing something I'm all ears....if there is a way to walk back this particular cat,have at it.

Obvious to whom? Who gets to decide what views are oppressive? And on what basis? One fashionable criterion among today's social justice loons is "disparate impact." But they are insane. What would you suggest?

Exactly. There are views that some on the left hold that those on the right see as "obviously oppressive". There are views that some on the right hold that those on the left find "obviously oppressive".

Obvious to any rightie who's ever argued with a lefty, I should have thought. We were talking about 'hallmarks of left wing thinking' - that's one of them. Whether you or anyone else disagrees with a given lefty's take on a given view is something else.

If that is what you want to do with your time and energy, have fun.

My original statement was:

quote:

What is this insane-vein-popping determination that we SHOULD go around tolerant of everyone's beliefs. Sheesh. There is a waste of time and life.

I believe that there is right and wrong or some might say, good and evil.

If you want to spend time with NAMBLA members looking for common ground and a basis for respect, enjoy your coffee together.

College football players (or other humans) that hit their girlfriends and break face bones? Sure, you two may like the same professional baseball team! Woot.

Folks who bully/pick on/make fun of the developmentally disabled? Please keep inviting them to your house. Freedom of association.

Men that kick their dogs? Maybe you both prefer cats.

-----------

I could continue with my this list, but I only have a few more minutes before I must go make lunches.

In each of those examples, the person thinks their beliefs are correct. I don't. I think that they are bad. And I see no reason to spend time or energy looking for common ground or a reason to respect them. In fact, I want nothing to do with them, would not have them in my house.

But you are free to do whatever you want with your time and energy. That is a personal choice thing.

Aylee what it missing from your post is an acceptance that the law provides us with a socially agreed and acceptable list of activities that are acceptable. NAMBLA members promote pedophilia, a crime as well as being repugnant. Footballers (or any one else) who assault their partners are committing the crime of assault. Cruelty to animals is also a crime (at least it is here, I am uncertain whether it's a criminal offence in the US).

It is appropriate that we respect the lawful views of others. They have their right to their views just as you and I have a right to ours. We aren't obliged to agree with them, we can even agitate against them publicly if we so wish, but we should respect others' rights to hold them as long as they are lawful. It makes for a harmonious society but perhaps social harmony isn't your thing.
