M.O.B. Votes:

to apply those standards more equally across all topics vs picking and choosing different standards for different topics.

I see morals as a personal issue vs something to be forcefully imposed on others.

The standards brought forth by the Libertarian groups are quite limited and basic view, and a very good starting point...and follow basic principles I think most people can agree on.

If people would open their minds and look at it from a different perspective, there would be much more agreement on the principles.

the two biggest stumbling blocks are lack of open mind and paradigm shift, or they have a question to which there is not a direct answer. I have, and continue to have those stumbling blocks....but have come to the point to be comfortable that every question does not need a precise answer, because in many cases, there cannot be a precise answer (such as age of consent).

Please explain why this message is being reported.
