Yes. It is always pointless to argue with a Canadian. I have few rules for the internet. That is one of them.

That is a nicely expressed libertarian sentiment. Well, the part in parenthesis was maybe leaning more relativistic (though you are making a moral judgement with your post, so...) but the rest looks solidly lib, assuming you can correctly answer the following question: Why is your way of thinking better than Johnathan's here?

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
