Re: same *** marriage petition (Canada) .

There is a type of mindset which goes like this..."I am perfect. Oh yes I
am. (alternatively: I wish I was, so I'll pretend I am). Therefore anyone
who is not like me is wrong. But I'm a nice person. I won't be rude to
them.
Instead I'll tell them they are missing out/mistaken/deluded. I can cure
them. They just need to see the light. My way is right".

It manifests in matters of religion, gender issues, cultural behaviour,
politics, education, even team s****ts and choice of music.

Some of them go to greater lengths to justify it than others, but in the
end
it all boils down to this.
