So much for the "bias and prejudices" rejection you guys keep talking about.
Larry has tried this same song and dance for years and it has never worked for him. You being pretty new at this game might want to come up with a different plan of attack. Your future with this line of defense does not bode well.

Martureo is much more articulate than myself and he will do just fine. The problem is not with him. He knows right from wrong and proper moral behavior, something that some of our members here are desparately lacking, therefore are unable to relate to.

You know right and wrong for you. When you and Marty try and force you beliefs on the rest of us we tendto take issue with it.

Save your breath. I know you don't think you force your belifsmon others and we have already been through that.

These are all issues that you and Marty do not understand.

Please point out where I have tried to FORCE my beliefs on others in this thread. If you want to see who is doing that look hard at the mirror when you shave tomorrow morning.

As I said, don't waste your breath. We have already been through this countless times and I will not do it again. Perhaps Aklim will play with you.

These are all issues that you and Marty do not understand.
Please explain why you think you are being forced to believe something?


If someone merely tells you that they believe that something is immoral or wrong what about that make you think they are forcing their beliefs on you?

Some People will face criticism and fight for their beliefs and some won't.

I prefer someone who will say what they believe in up front because that is honest even if it is not always polite.

Forcing is bringing your personal beliefs into there public sector. Telling people who they can and cant marry because of what you believe. Putting the 10 commandments on public grounds. Stop it!

Were we forced to believe that we should prohibit alcohol? Blue Laws? Abortion?

He was speaking specifically about Air&Road forcing something on Him. And that is what I was speaking of.

But, since you brought it up if you believe that nature of the beast the Human Nature you were speaking of; Human beings cannot get along with each other without some sort or rule/Laws and so on.

If you don't like a Rule or Law then you there is a good chance that you can feel you are being forced (if not actually forced) to obey.

The question is after accommodating and placating every diverse group or individual if we will any actual Society remain.

This is the definition of Society in the USA that is disappearing and there is no replacement on the horizon.

IF the rule were based on the idea that we need it so we don't go into chaos, much like say a law against murder where we cannot have people killing each other (for a simple example), fair enough. OTOH, I have a gripe with it if it is based off some silly deity who wishes this, that or the other. I'd have no dispute with say murder laws although sometimes I wish I could just send a few people to the meat grinder. OTOH, I don't want you to insist I cannot drink because your deity said so.

Hence I believe a govt should be there as a referee to make sure we don't go crazy. IT should serve as a neutral party to arbitrate disputes.

Well, you can isolate yourself from the world or it will come about like it is coming about.

The issue of Larry forcing beliefs on others has already been dealt with several times. While he is not out there with a badge enforcing his will on others he does support laws and politicians who wish to force their common beliefs on the rest of us. Just because Larry forces his beliefs by proxy does not reduce his guilt.

Who defines proper moral behavior? You? It is just some made up value.
