Gay "Rights"
I love this story. I realize it's Sweden, and I know nothing of their laws protecting freedom of religion or freedom of speech. However, the underlying problem with this story is universal. It is boiled down nicely in the last sentence:
Why is this? Part of it is, as I have stated before, that liberals don't care about solving anything, they just want to have the market cornered on caring. But part of it is the feminization of the world. Everything associated with testosterone is evil. That is why our kids are taught pacifism in school. That is why we have a nanny state. Men, in general, see things in black and white - a cold, rational look at the world. A place where the strong survive and the weak perish. But women were made to be the nurturers, to feel sympathy and empathy and take care of those around them. And thank God for them, for it would be a dark place without that mentality.
But there is a time when the male perspective is warranted. Not so much now, in this time of unprecedented wealth and high standards of living. The poets, philosophers, actors and politicians have the luxury of sitting and pontificating about the poor and downtrodden, and doing things to assuage their guilt at having so much. But there may yet come a time when cold-hearted rednecks like me are back in fashion, when we are needed. For, regardless what these young, idealistic utopians believe, the ways of the world don't change.
It's amazing how little you care about people's feelings when you're worried about where your next meal is coming from. And for those of you who believe that we have progressed beyond such concerns, stay tuned...
"There are two questions here. In principle, it is very important in an open society to have freedom of expression and religious freedom. At the same time, I can understand that homosexuals felt offended," Stefan Gustavsson, head of the Swedish Evangelical Alliance, told news agency TT.You see, it is not about rights. Those are really just theoretical "principles". It is about feelings. Feelings trump all else - rights, laws, common sense. It is why we have watered-down competition in schools. It is why we cannot do racial profiling in the fight against terrorism. It is the reason for politically correct speech. Nothing trumps feelings, especially where minorities are concerned. If something is offensive to white Christian males though, well, tough shit.
