Man Joe, I was HOPING I wasn't alone on this! We HAVE to respect other people's rights ...... even when we don't agree ....
So, yourespect the rights of Satanists and Atheists too I suppose? Come on, either you do or don't?
What a way to fuel the fire and pour water on it at the same time. Enjoying the "kill", posting a thread about it for all of the world to see, then saying you respect someone's rights that are trying to take yours away. Sheeesh!!
Let us say "don't" put stuff on people's cars and homes, ect, ect., but do not come here telling me I have to respect their (PETA) rights, or anyone else who tries to take away what is right from me. That is not my opinion either. God gave me my right to hunt. Who gave them the right to override God??
This BS fires me up.

LT,
I can understand why it fires you up. I might not answer this in the same way PT would, but I'm pretty sure Iknow what he meant. I respect the
rightsof everyone. I don't, however, respect the
beliefs or
actions of everyone. Do I respect the rights of a Satanist or an Atheist? Absolutely, and I'd put my money on the fact that so does PreacherTony. Again, I emphasize it's their
right to do as they choose thatwe're talking aboutrespecting. Do I agree with them? Not a chance. No way. Never.
You said that God gave us the right to hunt? Okay, I'll go along with that. I agree that PETA doesn't have the right to take our hunting privileges away, but they, as Americans, are guaranteed the right to say what they feel and think, and they also have the right to pursue all
legal means to achieve their goals. I don't agree with their anti-hunting goals at all, and I despiseso many of their illegal methods they employ in their attempt to achieve those goals.
We all have different beliefs, views, opinions, convictions and backgrounds. Until we can finally get to the point that we accept these differences, agree to disagreeand treat each other with respect and dignity regardless of their convictions, this world will continue to deteriorate. Personally, I don't see that ever happening, but I wish it would. What a great world this would be if it did.
