MLK made decisions knowing the dangers. Did his decisions do any good?

On respect for the belief of others. Sorry for the long post
by StarTrekAngel ini am inclined to start this thread in response to some comments made in other threads.
i have been coming around these forum for quite some time now so whatever you find in here is not just related to something someone may have said this week.
it can go months back as well.. i have seen many who claim to respect the belief of others but when it comes down to applying it into practice, things take a whole different tune.

LUHE, how is it incompatible to respect a right to hold beliefs while recognizing that certain thinking and beliefs are faulty? -

The reason, Simon, that I say I respect the right to hold belief (even if it's racist) is that new and great ideas and beliefs are often radical things far outside the norm that initially are met with derision and ridicule until we think through them and social intertia changes. For instance, at one point in my life, the ideal of gay marriage was ludicrious. Once I thought about it in terms of marriage equality, my thinking began to change. It's not mine or anyone else's place to tell someone they have no right to hold a belief (IMHO), but we do have the right to respond to it as we see fit (within the bounds of legality). -

Cappy, I am a sweet, lovable person that loves to gve. I never had demands and I am never blistering. I am simply merciless in the arena of ideas, as I believe we all should be.
To quote Cofty (which I've done a few times in real life), I don't want to be wrong any longer than necessary. If I am saying something wrong or using bad logic, math or reasoning, please show me and don't spare my feelings. I'm a big girl and I can handle it.

That's a perfect example of making an assumption. I understood the question to mean you were asking me personally what beliefs I respect. I either missed your request for input on the list you provided or misunderstood the question.
That doesn't mean reticence on my part to answer, which (to me) is what it means to have to drag an answer out of someone.
I'm not complaining, just using that as an example :)

Because they often use the "mock outrage and martyrdom" as a cynical way to silence criticism of their idiotic beliefs.
My friends and I call that poutrage. -

Respecting the right to hold a belief in no way implies that the way a person goes about determining that belief is rational. In much the same way I beleive everyone has the right to free speech, I may think how they decide to exercise that right is stupid.
I respect, in general, lofty ideals that stive to make the world better, to help those that need it, that provide opportunity for the betterment of all. I respect getting things done and not just sitting around talking about them (even if I disagree with what they are doing, I have to admire them getting it done). I respect the notion of looking at all sides of issues. I respect chilling the F out and relaxing every now and then.
