But that said, you are also correct in saying that some things should not be tolerated. I think the problem lies in the fact that people don't know how to go about implementing change. Do it peacefully? Do it via protests? Revolution? Excercising democracy and voting? None of them works very well. Uncle Lim: You are right that it’s off topic.

Give and take right? That's fine by me. But in Malaysia when discrimination, marginalisation, inequality and biasness towards the non bumis happens right before our very own eyes, we should keep an eye close? I think tat's something your readers here should ponder upon as well. Then again, this is entirely off topic :) So we’re saying that while my co workers here at a bank can leave office at 4:00PM during Ramadan, the non muslims such as myself can’t and have to stay back till 5:30 or 6:00PM, hence this is something i have to respect right?

The sad thing -- really sad STUPID thing -- is that some violent extremists can douse others with lighter fuel and flaming matches (figuratively *and* literally) but when they are criticised, hah, see what they do to you leh. People in general <strong>don't</strong> like to be criticised. And yes, there is such a thing as non-violent extremists (think about it). I can tolerate them but just can't stand the violent ones.
