Poor Mark...OK, he has a problem with authority. I can understand that. He doesn't like to be told he's an insensitive who teeter's on the edge of racism and culturalism. His broad brush venom mirrors the very objects of his criticism.
Censorship is an ugly word, we all agree. But so is extremism and insensitivity. If there's no need to temper our words, why do we have diplomacy? If we're unhappy with the actions of others, is it more effective to "get in their face" or use the art of persuasion?
Apparently for Mark, it's the former. Sad.
Human Rights Tribunal? Now most reasonable people would say, "Hey, that's not a bad idea, but listen, it needs to be tweaked, modified and refined. It may need to be reexamined and certainly constantly questioned". But what does the intolerant and angry Mark say. "Scrap It!" Not just that but he lashes out and starts name calling himself! Childish and immature Mark.
That's just small-minded and narrow visioned. Mark, your not helping.
