and then...

"but we all stand by and watch terrible injustices happen without standing up and being counted."

Now I may be misunderstanding, or misinterpreting this but you can see the contradiction no?
Well, the context of these two statements is different. In the first, the context was on a country level. In the second quote I was talking about individuals.

Two different posts, two different contexts. Sorry I didn't make myself clear.

Mr.H:

If I was chatting in the pub I would gladly talk about this for ages. Since 911 I guess it has been a constant topic of conversation all round the world. The issue here is it's not always easy to convey an emotive argument like this on a text based forum. It's two easy to get taken out of context.

I don't care if others agree with me or not. I just don't want them to take my opinions out of context and believe I said something I did not.

I guess if I was a clever man I would not have opened my gob in the first place, but would that make me part of the problem?

Cheers
