Again, you confuse 'care' and 'want' with 'right'. Aside from that, the thoughts/beliefs of *anyone in the entire history of the human race* didn't turn into anything until an action was taken, whether that action was a physical occurence, or was an intent of a physical occurence.

As much as it might be to your distate that someone may believe eg gay men are less intelligent that straight men, you have about as much 'right' to force that person to believe otherwise as I do to 'make' you believe anything I do. With the paradox being, as I've said previously, that you have every right to believe you *do* have that right :upsidedow

yeah, except me bothering to do any defending, and certainly not until death :winkwink:

tbh, not even the to say it portion of it either, but fuck, saying that *thoughts* should be set by 1 person to another? Naaaaah.

so why can't gays marry?

I love pissing gays off.

I lived with 2 gays for about 4 months in a dorm. They put me there because no one else wanted to live with them, truthfully, they were the best roommates I ever had. Lots of drama but it was manageable. I would simply stay put in my room.

One of them would have local married guys jacking off on webcam in the living room, I wasn't much into that. :disgust

wtf does that have to do with the 'right' to force someone else to think a thought, or have a belief? You're missing my point so much that I'm starting to believe you're doing so on purpose.

Just because someone has a thought or belief that the majority of people disagree with, it doesn't give anyone the right to tell that person what to think or believe. Your own example above proves that even though it's illegal for gays to marry (in some places), the belief and/or thoughts of those gays isn't illegal. When at whatever point in the future it is illegal to *stop* gays from getting married, the belief of those against gay marriage still won't, and nor should it, be a crime. Put those thoughts/beliefs into actions though, and then it becomes, quite rightly, a crime.

The 'crime' I'm assuming (though you did warn me about that earlier) you are trying to point out, is the act of it being illegal for gays to marry in certain parts of the world. Again, that is an action, rather than just a mere thought/belief.
