and what if my beliefs dont allow others to tell me to change my beliefs or tell me im wrong that was the point of the op. how can your beliefs not allow others to do as they choose who the hell are you to tell others what they can and cant say youre in effect saying that you must be allowed to pontificate any belief you desire and everyone else must accept it as fact. ive never said this before but hey - first time for everything. budd fuck you. now go play the wounded victim and tell me how shocked you are. .
