: There are a few traits that would fit along with such a necessity. Addressing
: your concerns for my words, though, it is a circular logic, perhaps, in
: theory, but only one of the two sides I mentioned brings with it ignorance
: and harm.

It wasn't really about the wording, but for the actual thought process you're using.

You see, you and I both see the sides mentioned as harmful and ignorant, but I have met some of them who really do believe the "free spirit" and "live and let live" attitude is harmful, along with whatever particular trait they're diminishing. And I'm sad to say that, given a profound understanding of their thought process, it's perfectly logical. (Not all groups, mind you, some. Still a valid point, IMO.)

The discussion then breaks down basically into "Who is right, who is wrong?", to which, honestly, there is no real answer, just beliefs and actions. (Keep in mind, though, that the very affirmation that "there is no real answer" is also a belief.)
