Human Rights
Hey all,
My name is Kieran and i am currently twenty years old and live in the good old town of Wednesbury. I used to be at University but currently taking a year out for a well rested break. This blog to me is a way that i can get my feelings out about my life; the world and everything really. This blog will have a lot to do with tweets so log on to them both regularly.
I dont know how i would describe myself politcally. I believe that everyone should be treated equally as its one of the foundations that our society. How can we tell other countries to have human rights when we dont ourselves. Without freedom of speech in theory this blog would not exist; it would be screened and then blocked by law which itself is wrong. Censorship stops nothing!
But then the obvious argument comes along with the BNP and other party like these that are racists biggots that really to my mind dont deserve any merit in their arguments. Having a no platform policy for these people will only just cause more outrage and lead to more people going towards them and asking as to why. This causes controversy which obviously adds fuel to the fire. So what to do; do we debate with them.
Some would argue that by debating with them we are adding merit to their argument? Well if arguing with a racist adds merit then thats life. The only way to beat a homophobe is to make him not afraid of homosexuals.
I know a lot of people will think this is a simplistic view but at the end of the day realism in relation to society needs to happen. The current process is not working. Something needs to change; if not god knows what will happen.
Until next time; take care of yourself and eachother
Love Kieran x
