 1 agree, although people will disagree on what that is

2. Mostly agree.  It doesn't mean you always getbto spew it without consequences

4. Disagree--then you are just promoting religious discrimination.  Churches should not be forced to perform gay weddings, for example.

5.  Disagree

6.  Depends on the circumstances 

7.  Disagree.  People need to make provisions for themselves.  

8.  Income--yes.  Inheritance--no.

9.  Depends on the circumstances.  

10.  Strongly disagree.

12.  Mostly agree 

13.  Disagree

16.  No opinion

17.  Agree

18.  Agree

19.  Disagree

20.  Disagree.

21.  Depends on what is meant by respect.

23.  Agree

24.  Disagree

25.  Disagree

26.  Disagree

29.  Disagree.  Flat out idiotic statement.

30.  Maybe not capacity--but definitely in practice.

31.  Disagree

32.  Disagree

33.  Mostly agree, although there could be consequences for some expression

34.  Same as 33.  Redundant.

I thought it was just a funny response to Husker's "I have spoken". Trudy chooses not to speak at all.

I would rather pull out a nose hair than read all that and then commit to comment on it. Sorry. Too much controversy even at 1:20 in the afternoon.

9, 11, and 19 are absolutely and unequivocally wrong

3 I agree with up until High School. But not so much as it's a "right" but more-so as it's "in the best interests of the community / society".

4 Except on religious or personal property.

23 In the case of juveniles, censorship should be left to the parents to decide what is acceptable and when.

25 And ability

31 As long as all are disarmed equally.

Other than the previously listed, I agree with the whole OP.

#31 is pure BS. Human's are idiots, so disarmament will never happen. I doubt you can rid the world of rocks.
