Unfortunate Misunderstanding

[BrilloPad]

It reminds me of a conversation I had some year's ago with a friend's dad, a very wealthy guy with a massive apartment in Manhattan. He whined about how he was discriminated against as a straight white man, but he found it curiously hard to explain in what way this discrimination manifested itself and in what we way he suffered as a result.

Maybe because he was in a minority. I have just had to go through the inclusiveness training at the bank where I work and I am assured that those in a minority do suffer.

I am also assured that I should include the opinion of everyone. Even the thickos who don't know what they are talking about. i.e. you.

You would know all about being in a minority. The intelligent one in a sea of cretins.

Oh wise one - tell us what to think.

The difference is I'm fully aware of my privileges in life, some of which I have earned but most of which (like the accident of birth into a solid family in a rich country) I haven't

Do you mean 'i.e.' or 'e.g.'?

Well seeing as cretins seem to be a majority on CUK, you won't need to worry about any unnecessary suffering.

But why do we need ECHR to fight this one?

Why can we as human beings not stand together against backwards, archaic dangerous practices and put pressure one the perpatrators to stop?

I don't know - are you standing up against it? Are you even aware of all such practices which should be stood against? If not it makes sense to have an organisation who are.

I don't agree with accommodation of Sharia in UK law, but Qatari law makes accommodations for non-Muslims to buy alcohol and pork under licence, so perhaps Saudi wasn't the best example, unless of course it's one's role model state.

Qatar and Saudia Arabia aren't the same country though, if we must nit-pick. Dubai and Qatar do have special dispensations for foreigners; KSA is far stricter in their orthodoxy.

Of course they're not. The point is that some Muslim countries make legal concessions to non-Muslims.

So Qatar can be our role model then. If you want to butcher your children, you need to apply for a license and go to a special venue behind an unmarked door.

I'm not sure if you're deliberately missing the point. If not, please seek clarification.
