    How does law fit into that??
    We are all responsible for our actions, and must take responsibilty for them.

    "There is absolutely nothing wrong with being different."

    Obviously a contradiction.
    ''Our culture has accepted two huge lies: The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear them or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.''

    If the "nothing wrong with being different" thing is outside the law, then you have a contradiction.

    Seriously do you not have anything better than that, LOL.
    I also said people are resposible for their own actions, hence if the break the laws that their society agreed upon, than they pay the concequeces(sp).Whether its jail or a fine.

    seems to me that if you cant do better than what you've done up to now, youjust seem to post of the sake of posting.

    So people DON'T have the right to be different, if society has agreed, as a majority, that certain actions are NOT a right of the individual.

    In other words, "There is absolutely nothing wrong with being different" is NOT true, if society has decided otherwise.

    Thanks.

    It's in our Charter, Part 1 Section 2. Look it up
    One can be a true believer in anything: psychic ability, Christianity or, as Bertrand Russell classically suggested (with irony), in the fact there is a teapot orbiting the earth. I could believe any of those things with total conviction. But my conviction doesn't make them true. Indeed, it is something of an insult to the very truth I might hold dear to say that something is true just because I believe it is. ~Derren Brown
