So Soren fails yet again to explain what 'democratic rights' are.

Or do you think that living in a democracy is going to help you when you are lost at sea? Maybe you can vote your way home?




Property rights can be and are infringed under all forms of government. There is nothing special about property rights under a democracy that makes them qualitatively different from those under any other system of government. In fact you have a better guarantee of property rights if you are in the Robison Crusoe situation.

If not, can you explain how property rights are different in a democracy, beyond the fact that they are in a democracy?

It is a common, flawed assumption that it is intolerant not to tolerate other, alien, cultures on the British Isles (or Australia). There is a missing part to this, of what would otherwise be, erroneous equation.

The other part can be posed in a question: How can it be tolerant of immigrants and other non-indigenous cultures not to give up their own cultures and assimilate once on the territory of the British Isles?

In other words, wearing the Islamic burqa in Britain and Australia is flaunting of your intolerance of British or Autralian culture - that is, flaunting your intolerance of your hosts' culture.

Do we need to tolerate the diversity of intolerances? No. They do not deserve it.
