Well, good luck with that.
I certainly don't agree. And I think the picture posted in part two is offensive, but I let that slide because it's a view point.
Perhaps you're right. I certainly do have a problem with people being A$$hole$, and I do make effort to put a stop to such things. Is this right? I don't know. I guess my problem actually stems from a belief the words can REALLY hurt people, even words said in jest, and you can't take them back once they're said. I would much rather people be respectful and get their point across. I think the principle of being respectful should be fairly self-explanitory and people should just do it. I'm by no means saying I'm anywhere near perfect, but it is my intent to help everyone treat everyone else as real human beings. I suppose I'm still trying to convert everyone to my belief system (or whatever you want to call it), but dangit, I have to live in this world to, and I'd like to not get shat upon every time I leave the house (or stay in the house in the instance of this community). I dunno, I think it's a pretty straight-forward extension of the right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The whole point of the whole idea is that you have the right to do whatever the **** it is you want to do provided it doesn't infringe on anyone else's rights to do the same. My pursuit of happiness is trying to get people to not infringe on anyone else's rights.
