What?? Op-eds can be disagreeable??! This is incredibly irresponsible. What if I just believe every opinion I read? This is so ugly and awful. I can't believe journalists would trust people to draw their own conclusions about a diverse spectrum of opinions!
Typical failing New York Times. So despicable and unethical.
Publishing extremist propaganda calling for war crimes in a newspaper can be waived away because it said (opinion)!
Bomb Syria even if it's illegal (opinion!)
What's next, verbatim Mein Kampf quotes being okay if the article says (opinion)?
Yes, frankly I don't trust anyone to be able to think critically about what they read. I think we should outlaw disagreeable opinions. So much easier, I hate homework. But I love burning things! Let's start with books! My library has a copy of mein kampf in fact. Let's go burn it! That will take care of those damn nazis!
Tolerating the opinions to indiscriminately bomb countries and people is not something we as a society should do.
