I'm not. I'm trying to get you to understand the point that freedom that endangers other people must be limited.

Quote:If it is your house it' s your rules. If you want to inhale poison.- have at it.

For now, it is. Smile

Quote:If you have kids and you want them to suck poison then sadly that is your right too.......

I thought your country had laws against child endangerment. Clearly, I was mistaken.

Quote:Your country is majority xtian... Should public opinion rule - and your kid be given a xtian education - because clearly your atheism is fucking them up????

No, my country is NOT majority Christian, it isn't even majority religious. 38% Christian, 44% non-religious (the balance is a smattering of other, non-Christian religions). Give that this is the case, the rest of your statement needs no reply.

Quote:Having freedom frequently means allowing people to do things you see as immoral or just distasteful....

Agreed. However, it does not mean allowing people to do things which endanger public health and safety (you know, like those riots that always get your knickers in a twist).  As I said before, NO freedoms are absolute - not speech, not assembly, not religion, not press. But these freedoms are legislated to exist in limited, curtailed form because doing so contributes to the public good. Tobacco use contributes nothing.

The funny thing is you could turn his argument about "where does it end? " to the"freedom" to do immoral or distasteful things.
