Also one needs to realise that the basic morality of the establishment is one of a sort of base-line christianity, and that type of morality implies that those who believe are duty bound by their belief to try and convert others to their way of thinking.
When someone follows a different path, one that the established morality says is destructive, and yet said someone not only doesn't fail at life, but accels that is seen as almost an insult to the morality that denounced the destructive path so the follower of that path must be stopped.

Note that I am speaking in some broad generalizations. I do realise that some people out there have no intention of forcing their morality on others.
This is just an attemp to explain the type of general mindset that leads to things like prohibition.
i dont want an explaination as to why they think like that, because i think that much is obvious... it is how they actually think, not why they think that way...


also, i was banned recently, not allowed back till the 12'th... for personal attack/insult against another member...


what did i say, who was it?
