Thread Name: BS: Reinforcing respectful 'boundaries'
Subject: RE: BS: Reinforcing respectful 'boundaries'
Well, several viewpoints are expressed here that I would cheerfully include as unworthy of respect. That gay people should be hounded into "changing their behaviour". That evolution is a lie. That the attitude towards people who insist on propagating religious faith to children should be "live and let live". That it's OK to go round everywhere with a lethal weapon in your pocket. That we should deny women the right to abortion. These are antediluvian standpoints that are worthy only of being shot down. Every one of them involves complete lack of respect for anyone on the receiving end. Yet we're supposed to respect the people who put these views forward, are we?
