You: I don't believe in your principles.
Me: You don't have to. Use your own brain to decide what is right for you. Good day!
(Technically, the discussion could end here, but some may want an argument.)
You: Don't walk away! I want to do things that go against your principles.
Me: Ok, you have me curious, such as?
You: Like dumping used motor oil in a creek, spitting on the homeless, and not giving away a penny to charity.
Me: I ask you to re-evaluate your intentions, and decide for yourself if they are good or bad.
You: I've already decided they are good, and am going to do those all tomorrow.
Me: Ok, sounds like a busy day! Just so you know, we have laws that cover the first two, so you may get into trouble there.
You: I'll take my chances. It is right in my mind.
Me: And nobody has a gun to your head, so charity is voluntary, so that's your call.
You: I don't believe in your principles.
Me: You don't have to. Use your own brain to decide what is right for you. Good day!
