[quote]Sure it does. First thing we teach children is to appreciate what they have because others have it worse. "Eat your green beans, there's people starving in Africa!" It just doesn't apply to everything.[/quote] The way he worded it applied it to rights. Nothing about that sounds good. He worded it [i]specifically [/i]to apply "appreciate what you have" to this one situation. Yes, "appreciate what you have" is good. "Appreciate the rights you have because others have it worse" is (almost) [i]never[/i] "good in theory". If a (common sense) group of people arguably has insufficient rights here, I don't care how badly the rest of the world treats them; their rights should be discussed/fought for. Period.
