    The majority do not decide what is right or wrong. Your conscience does.
    Very true 👍 👌 👏

      Sounds good on paper but you can have it. Some of mankind has little to no conscience.

      ​@@frnkjones40so we should just trust the majority instead huh. The majority do not speak facts, the majority influences and manipulates the person.

    "You should pray I choose the latter,"
    We are created beautifully and have a pure heart because we fear God. And that is why most of us prefer to choose the latter.

      @@ninjanibba4259 not a sequel, just another one. Like several years later different cast entirely, more debates competitions, more fun. They don't even need to call it the "great debators". I just think movies about debates are interesting.

    Majorities don't decide what it right or wrong, your conscience does. Civil Disobedience is key... an inspiration which came from Henry David Thoreau and Civil Disobedience doesn't reflect anarchy.

    You just know whose quote was just rejected. You are wasting more time. And over there it works every time.
