So do you get to say what is correct for them? Nope, you only get to say what is correct for you. Society as a whole gets to say what is correct for them (with in limits). It's called laws.
Right, and this is the difference between laws and morality. I would judge a psychopath to be immoral if they were hurting someone, but I want them stopped anyway. Laws protect society, whereas morality is simply an assessment of “goodness” made by a particular observer.
Most laws tend to come from morality.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
