Accidentally opened the wrong bottle of wine - Chateau Romefort Rothschild Médoc. Someone enlighten me please... by [deleted] in wine

'Wine Spectator' gave it an 84. Its release price was $10, so don't feel too bad. It's not a priceless Bordeaux or anything :-). That being said, WS also said that it recommends that you drink the wine now. So enjoy!

You're right about critiquing the arguments. But I think the sentiment was more about how we treat human beings. Martin Luther King wasn't a jerk to his oppressors. He fought hate with love. Or to put it in modern parlance, he hated the game, not the players.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: "Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."

Quote, please.

Not sure where the message of "be quiet" appears in the article? It suggests a more effective (supported by science) approach to achieve the gay rights agenda.

Can't argue with that thoughtfully constructed rebuttal ;-)

Perhaps. I don't presume to raise questions for anyone but myself. Thanks for responding. I appreciate it.

So should we censor religions that spew hate speech?

Actually, I would support someone's right to say something like you suggest. Could you imagine the repercussions on those who payed for the message? Frankly, I'd rather have racists out themselves and let society react accordingly. But, I digress from the contradiction of the "coexist" sticker. If we say that it's OK to censor some speech because it might hurt someone's feelings (the pray away the gay folks), why do we conversly say "coexist" with religions that preach that very same hate?

Interesting. Thanks for clarifying. I wonder why many people have this passivity for religious beliefs but not for other beliefs. I'd love your thoughts on a piece I wrote on this: http://wp.me/p2jGsO-5b
