Should we judge any ideal by the behaviour of the ideals proponantes?
I don't think we should. Surely we should look at the idea itself and
the ideals it promotes?
I try to be non bigoted, but I still enjoy the racist joke. Shall we
judge the idea of racial harmony by the idea itself or by my laughing
at the odd racist joke?
Back on track though. I'm still astounded by the majority of this. I
know what makes me happy, I know how I wish to live my life, and I
certianly resent anybody telling me that my lifes choices are not
right. How do they know? What I do, what I belive, IS right for me,
and I would not be so rude as to tell somebody else what to belive or
not.
