Everything has limits, even tolerance

MaxAguilera

Chile

There are situations where tolerance means complicity.

Will we be tolerant with those who have the power to eradicate human life on the planet?

Will we be tolerant with those who murder innocents, sexually abuse children or traffic in human organs?

Will we be tolerant with those who enslave children to produce cheaper?

Will we be tolerant with those with terrorists, individuals or states, in the name of their religion or political project carried out massacres?

Will we be tolerant with those who, in their eagerness for profit, counterfeit medicines and kill peoples, establishing policies or corruption or squandering public goods?

Will we be tolerant with the mafia of smugglers of weapons, drugs and prostitution involving abductions, torture and the physical elimination of people?

Will we be tolerant practices, in the name of culture, cut the hands of thieves or women to undergo genital mutilation?

All of them should be:

Subjecting them to stringent controls, severely implement the law, implement the international law, arrested, tried and punished harshly, each country should impose harsh penalties on those crimes, clear punishments for them, human rights. 

I read about it in an article of Leonardo Boff.

  i don't think so, it is not fair when considering issues like that way. Without laws, without polices, without organizations, everything will become worse and worse. Everytthing needs time to resolve it, we should support and help reponsible people to handle it or even ourselves 'd better do something fine when we have any chances.
