Are we afraid to say yes or no?

Another 'Have your say'; another short rant about a culture of respect and can we make any changes whilst it's not cool to limit anyone, anymore, no matter the cost?

'Respect will only be recognisable and doable within a paradigm of some sort. If the country wants to promote itself as secular and anti-strong views such as religion or other firm views, then I see no way forward for us to ever improve. Every time something is done to try to set a standard, it gets attacked by human rights and civil liberty activists, intent on insuring that everything and anything is always possible and permitted.

The trouble with this nice sounding mantra is you allow everything that comes with it - the crime, yobbish behaviour and failing sex education. Last night I spoke to a 15 yr old male on the streets. He had got several girls pregnant though they aborted the children. He could have been a father several times over. He is a frightening product of a society afraid to say anything is right or wrong anymore, for fear of being seen as a bigot.

1+1does not equal five though. If that makes me a bigot, so be it.'
