You are failing to see the point here, and that point is this:
By harboring the same ignorant beliefs as the person or persons who commit the acts,
you are thereby providing an environment where the actions taken are considered
acceptable. And if a person can prevent the acts but does not, they are responsible
for complying in that act--an accomplice as it were. Your mindset on this issue
(unfortunately shared by many) is part of the reason this world is in the sad state
that it's in. Because throughout history many people have stood by and allowed others
to perpretrate actions and deeds while doing nothing to prevent them--whether they
felt the same as those committing the acts or not, they are responsible for the
results of those acts. Hopefully one day you will understand and can be part of the
solution.
