i believe that flagging my comment was not an attempt to avoid flamewars, but plain censorship of a honest intellectual question that any society taking a stance, against or in favor of multiculturalism (that is, hosting non-integrated completely different cultures within its borders), must confront sooner of later when things like this lecturer's ordeal start happening. The article was a concrete instance of the abs…

You can call it censorship if you want—people mostly use that word nowadays to express a feeling—but the moderation point is that you plainly broke HN's rules with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34298516 , and doing that will get you banned here.

i disagree that it was against the guidelines - after all, it did generate some interesting intellectual comments.

either way, your home your rules, so whatever. (which, ironically, confirms my original point...)

*person. One student complained and that's the reason the original comment advocated deportation. Let's say that we were able to find one person of Christian faith who is intolerant, what country should Christians return to? Does this include a lack of religious beliefs? Where do we send anyone who fails to believe in God, much in the same way as one other person on the planet?

I can show you some places :)

Go for it. Where do you feel we should deport people for the crime of being atheist?

There no crime for being an atheist or Muslim.

Some cultures are just more violent ( eg. Look at fifa world cup and marocco people through Europe).

Are you denying that they are more violent?

You’ve never had to fight for basic human rights as a white straight person.

That is such a myopic, stupid take. How do you even know? Are you somehow deluded enough to believe that even in western countries nobody has to fight for basic human rights? Fuck, half of Americans’ basic human rights are in flux right now, have you been paying attention?

I'm late here, but you broke the site guidelines extremely badly. We ban accounts that post like this, regardless of how wrong another comment is or you feel it is.

If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
