> I still disagree because individual freedom is more important than majority opinion. this read suspiciously like a stereotypical US opinion regarding individual rights vs rights of the majority. so i went and looked through your comment history and i now i suspect even more strongly that you are US based. > Its because I don't want the government, people who I've never met in person and honestly are not the most moral of individuals, making moral decisions for my children on my behalf. it’s not your government doing this. you can relax. also, we in the UK value the balance between individual rights and collective societal rights more strongly than you do. it’s our thing. if you don’t like it, it doesnt matter, you don’t live here.

Just because someone doesn't live in a particular region doesn't mean they can't have opinions on broader implications of these reforms.

  sure, except there are no broader implications for you right now. worry about that when it comes around pal. you’re just wasting energy right now spreading FUD. what im basically saying here is, yes, you’re entitled to have an opinion. but i’m also entitled to have an opinion that your opinion is meaningless and irrelevant to the subject at hand. which is what i am expressing.

    It's my government doing it and I can confirm they're right it is overreach. I'm allowed to say that right, you won't attack me for having an opinion?
