Georges, not to debate this endlessly, but wanted to respond to a point you made:
"I'm happy to see that you rather ignore the problem than confront it, you say it's not such a bad thing that anti-gay or racist views aren't tolerated anymore and I tell you to the contrary, it's horrible,"
I think you might have a different perspective on this if you think back further in human history. Remember that for a long time (i.e., before development of modern morality) people were pretty barbaric in their views. It was considered normal to murder someone for food, to rape women, etc. Just a few hundred years ago, if you broke the law, the government might put your head on a spike or torture you.
Is it such a bad thing that in most societies, this is no longer considered acceptable? We don't tolerate those views, and nothing has been lost because of it. I'd rather live in a world where we don't have to waste time debating stuff like that, and can move onto other issues. Same goes for racism and homophobia. If we can move past it, it's a good thing, not a loss.
- ukit good point but let me point out something, not because a society doesn't address a problem anymore does it means it moved past it, I love bad history and some things are repeated ad nauseum without real basis, you say 100 years ago if you broke the law the government will put your head on a spike or torture you, the irony is kinda strong on this one don't you think, when we're presently confronted with this, http://www.theguardi…, another example of bad history is saying we're not governed by pedo and fascist when it's actually just that, look...GeorgesII

(god I hate writing in this box)GeorgesII - I agree, it's a step backwards. That's why I'd rather live in a society where torture is not even tolerated or up for debate.ukit2
