My point exactly. You say HE has no right to "inflict" his signature's message on you, but you in so saying ARE saying YOU have the right to "inflict" your desires on him. Either you both have the right, or neither.
One is offended by religion, the other one by calling his/her religion BS. At the end of the day with freedom comes responsibility. Just because you have freedom of speech doesn't necessarily mean you can say what you want. You have the responsibility to think of what you are saying to who you are saying it to. I live in a country where we have freedom of speech, but where human rights are more important than freedom of speech. My human right not to be offended by your believes, racial prejudice and/or political status is much more important than your human right to make your believes, racial prejudice and/or political status public. This topic keeps coming up way to often, so cannot we just ask everyone to respect everyone else and remove all signatures indicating believes, racial prejudice and/or political status from signatures. If you really have the need to discuss this with someone else, go to a list with an appropriate topic. This is a SuSE list. This is not a political or religious or philosophical list. Keep it to the topic (i.e. discussions related to SuSE Linux). Albert -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
