Please. Some Christians have been harrassing some other Christians for many years. Some Moslems have been... Some atheists have ... Some Bhuddists.... Some ...... There are good and bad members of any faith, religion, political party, race, color, national origin, financial status, criminal record, or whatever you WANT to pick out. Face it folks, it's just part of being human that some humans have a need for power, or for making their fellow humans more miserable than they are. I don't think that any of the above catagories have anything to do with this.to an extent that they cannot/will not accept any compromise. The solution? I don't know. I do know that ALL such groups should be kept in positions where they cannot physically injure society. How to do this without censorship? That's really difficult. (Perhaps there is no censorship involved, since we're only concerned about things with physical or ecomomic manifestations, and not with argument. Perhaps the answer is an INFORMED populace. ) How about some discussion on how to solve problems, like the evangelical Christians next door, or the "pro-lifer" down the block who wants won't take responsibility for his (and it's damn near always his, in that case) actions, or the bomber in Belfast, or the mad van-driver in Beruit? How can we manage to convince people that they don't NEED to act that way? SOLUTIONS? How about some solutions? We don't need no steeeenking stereotypes! -- TEDDY BEARS ARE NICER THAN PEOPLE-- HUG YOUR OWN TODAY ! (allegra,harpo,ulysses)!rabbit!jj
