Under some circumstances fear may play a major role. Not everyone is a hero, and I wouldn't know how courageous I'd be if the remains of my livelihood are on the lines. Or if resisting earns you a prison sentence as it already is the case in Turkey.

That's why I don't even judge the ones presenting a low profile during the nazi regime. Only the ones actively contributing.
I don't want to think of myself as a coward. I want to say that I'm bold and courageous. But to tell the truth, I won't go to some websites because I know they're being monitored. They'd put my name down on a list somewhere. Some people tell me my name is already on a list. That is as may be but I don't have to put an asterisk beside it.

I got the newsletter from the Richard Dawkins foundation. They're going to be fighting this. I want to help them, but I don't want the people at my bank to see his name on my debit card. I live in the buckle of the bible belt. So I get one of those single use credit cards from WalMart.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
