Are laws more important than individual rights?

[quote="Ovi"]It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. "Beauty (or disrespect in this case...) is in the eye of the beholder".

You know how I see it, if you are happy to come across as disrespectful to me then that is your choice. (No one else usually cares what I think anyway ]

Respect has to be earned...

Completely agree. However, all relationships have to start from somewhere, and most of us generally start off treating people with respect until they show whether they deserve it or not.

Let's take a relatively extreme example to try to show the point.

We don't steal from people we don't know, because we respect their property. this respect hasn't been earnt, it considered a basic level of respect everyone deserves.

I would also suggest that most people don't steal off known Christians, because we respect their property just like anyone else's, again this isn't a respect that is earnt it is also a basic level of respect shown.

(apologies for the joke, it was the first thing I thought of when i saw Xests post, so out of respect I couldn't deny everyone else the same groaning opportunity

On a social occasion I agree.

In the wider world I think the lack of (or fear of?) discussing religion actually leads to a lot of the problems.

Muslims fear Christians and vice-versa, mainly because they don't understand each other, and they never will if they don't discuss each others religions in a civilised manner.
