Is tolerance a dying virtue?

Does it warrant it? Absolutely not. But does that mean its intolerant to do so? Nope. People need to let out the frustration that builds up and the constant negativity that Pakistanis protray about their nation adds to that notion so they act out. That is why I gave the example of the Greek Protests. Are these people uneducated jahils? Nope. They are mainly blue and a good many white collar workers who are now out fighting with police, burning property and causing havoc to what they see as injustice. Does that make all of Greek society intolerant? Nope.

Greece is facing a do-or-die situation and their protest cannot be compared with what we are discussing here in this thread. Greek austarity drive will cut around 7 billion euros and you can imagine that there would hardly by any walk of Greek life unhit by this cut. 20,000 civil servants will lose their jobs and over 2000 schools will be shut. 75% pensioners will cease while the 25% pensions will be halved.

Anyway, I believe sutdents of one of the most prestigious institutions should have behaved in the face of a cricket defeat and should have not acted like an ordinary, uneducated person (no offence to them). Your opinion is different than mine and though I respect your opinion, please allow me to differ with it
