What we need is not political correctness, not the forcing of views on others, it's tolerance. Learn to tolerate other people's differences whether or not you agree with them. Learn to accept there ARE differences. Realise that morality is controlled by society.
The world is already becoming too homogenised. Voltaire said it best 300 years ago:
I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
Freedom of speech and thought applies to both sides of an argument and encompasses all viewpoints. Having said that, it was naive of Evander to air his beliefs on TV. It's a very tricky subject which has not been resolved in the whole of human history and I doubt it ever will be.

This is refreshingly broad minded, there are cultural differences and a whole host of religious ones which have had a part to play here.
It's really apt on a show called 'big brother' to be hauled over coals by thought police though?
