Doesn't stating No. 4 invalidate the rest of your list?

You have so many contradictions in your list, I don't even know where to start.

well, here's one

Business as Entities and Government Interference in Private Matters are completely contradictory.

Thousands in Africa die of malaria every year because they can't afford more expensive alternatives to mosquito control, but we can't produce it because there is a small risk of cancer, or worse, their is evidence of correlation but not causation that it harms bird's eggs.

I disagree. Government ALLOWING businesses the rights of an individual is interferance. Businesses aren't alive, and thereby have no rights. The people that own/run/work the businesses have rights, but the business itself does not truly exist.

By that reasoning they are not contradictory. Furthermore, your warrant is that a business is a private matter. However, I was speaking of private matters like the bedroom, beliefs, etc.

I see no contradictions, but feel free to point out any others so I can continue to explain them and discredit you. :cool:

i am good with using fur/leather for clothing

hunting animals is fine, people have been doing it for thousands of years, there is no good reason to stop now

religious speech should be protected by the 1st admendment if porn is covered

telling people they are closed minded is just a cowardly way of saying you don't agree with them

duh

duh, but the definition of "cruelty" is open to debate, whackos have got that all screwed up

i don't smoke. privacy rights are important. children don't/shouldn't have the exact same rights as adult citizens.

I dont mind fur, hunting, religion, or porn.


I dont like the idea of everyone having to go to one public school system and some people actually want religion to be taught with prayers.. back in my day we had a different school for this.. it was 'sunday school'. I dont ever want my kids taught about god unless I'm there to make sure he's not being brainwashed.

I'm sorry but I can't open my mind to people who hurt animals and hurt their children by smoking around them. I didn't know being open-minded means you support killing and hurting...:roll:

You don't have to support it, but there are valid reasons for hunting, hence an open mind.

I don't hunt...probably never will. I don't always like hunting, but I see the reasons why people do it.
