As an aside from the hunting thread, I was thinking about diversity and where the line is between what we should learn to accept and what we as society should reject.
Those hunters pay lots of money to shoot animals and in a capitslist society, they are perfectly entitled to use their money any way they see it. However, I believe most right minded people find their behaviour abhorrent.
Growing up a rejection of gays was almost built into my childhood. Through secondary school the worst tag you could get was gay and it was seen as being utterly negative. It must have been a horrible experience for my classmates who were actually gay but we didn't know better. Over the years I've learned to to accept people better for who they are.
Obviously, paedophiles, murderers and that lot need to be excluded from society for our protection but where should the line be?
Should poisonous media commentators like Bill O'Reilly be excluded from society for pushing his twisted, hateful adjenda?
Should hunters be excluded from society for their bloodthirsty ways?
Should we accept all human beings with openness and love?
