That's how democracy works.

 Every Chinese understands democracy means majority rule. What
 

Chinese didn’t understand is what to do with the minority, the people with unpopular opinins. In fact, people
 

around the world who are new to western democracy all made the same mistakes:
 

the minority were oppressed or even prosecuted, when they should be protected.
 

What Chinese didn’t understand is that, there is no democracy if the minority’s
 

rights are not protected. Noam Chomsky once famously said: if we don’t believe
 

in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all“.
 

If we can’t protect everyone’s rights, then we can’t protect anyone’s rights.
 

It could be yours today and get taken away from you tomorrow.”

• 你的說法我同意，但過於理想化。在現實中幾乎沒有保護少數人真正使之有效的辦法 - 事實如此。 -走你- ♂ (0 bytes) () 11/17/2013 postreply 15:15:55

• 你說的也對也不對。其實西方這種表麵的新聞自由，反而更有欺騙性 ：） -走你- ♂ (0 bytes) () 11/17/2013 postreply 15:28:28
