RE: COMPUTING FOREVER PROMOTED STEEMIT!
The stats are by far not that extreme. But lets say that indeed the majotiy of the crime is done by a specific group. And lets say it are 5.000 members of the community who are the actual criminals. Lets then further say that the entire community consists of 250.000 members. Is this helping the situation? Don't you think that such way of work is actually worsen the whole thing? 250.000 people feel being the victim. Some group of people start thinking that actually ALL Moroccans are bad news. Progressing in time, things will become more extreme and the extreme groups become bigger in size. To be honest, that is THE issue now in entire Europe. And in the world actually. The distance between Christianity (white world) and Islam is becoming bigger and bigger due to a very small minority of the communities on both sides making things worse. If we are not careful, this will explode into a world war, number 3, I'm afraid.
would the solution to be silencing one side? Or would it be to have an honest debate where both side of the issue can speak and let people make their own minds about it?
I agree with you that debates are good. That all should be allowed to be said. But what people say shall also have a degree of respect in it. Otherwise a system based on Free Speech will have troubles to actually work. Any system we try to create and shall supersedes previous systems must work not only in theory but also in practise. In theory I FULLY and I mean FULLY AGREE with you. In theory it would be fantastic to have unlimited freedom of speech. But I'm still not clear if this theory will actually work in practise in such a way it'll benefit society. Maybe we shall test it, true.
