To believe you have the right to TELL someone else what they should think is just plain wrong (I believe), though at the same time, if you believe it's your right to tell someone else what to believe or think, then crack on. You think you are gonna change a homophobe's mind because you told him to think a different way? Dream on  |
is it a crime if we do it to other countries? or our own citizens in other countries, or our own citizens in our own country? when does it break down?
while changing a homophobes mind is one thing, gradual change public perception is another. which is what im talking about here, with democracy and 'caring what common beliefs and ideas are'. Cause the law saying 'the only good pornographer is a dead pornographer' is really only one election away
