Quote:That's the same argument has been used to justify the persecution of minorities in the past. Right now we're in an acceptance phase, eventually the pendulum swings back to a non-acceptance stage. Are you then comfortable with the state having the power to impose non-acceptance? If they have the power to impose acceptance they have the power to impose non-acceptance as well.

 

To have a state that can force participation you have to tolerate a state that can force segregation.

 

That's pretty much exactly how I see it.


Boudreaumx is arguing from a place of compassion as a good person who doesn't like to see anyone treated poorly. I'm sure we all can respect where he's coming from, but this is the base of the issue at hand. Hence, keep living your life as you will and let morons be morons.
