It is not however an obligation, freedom of expression must extend to keeping your yap shut.

Just so-thank you for supplying that essential caveat, sir.

The obligation would be a moral one, perhaps, not a legal one.

yeah, without that right the people with power would do even more stupid unfair things

yes one has the right to question.....However that doesn't mean that just because one disagrees with a decision that the ruling is incorrect.

Citizens are responsible for the actions their state takes on their behalf. It is important that one ensures that those actions are acceptable to one's own moral or ethical code. If they are not then one must question the decisions and actions and try to do something to counter them.

Amen :) Of course, the government has every right to ignore them...and we have every right to kick them out.

And I can't wait to show my MPs what I think of them next summer...:devil:

If you do not question them, then the society would become static.

i voted no cause it almost did show that everyone says 'yes' that made this poll a bit... eh...

well you'll get it :)

Think for yourself and question authority. :01:

Every time the Supreme Court makes a decision that fits your beliefs, than they are doing their job. When they make a decision that disagrees with your beliefs then there activist judges. :lookaroun
