Holy christ..... first of all, if you actually read any of my earlier posts I'm in a union myself and technically I side with you. The biggest problem here is tactics. I don't believe that pushiness, strong-arming, and preaching is really the way to get through to anyone.
Talk to them like an adult, treat them respectfully, show them that you're not just some big mouthed bully because if that's what they think the last thing they do is open their minds... they shut you off.
You also can't deny the fact that people are entitled to their own opinions without having someone attack them for it. Yes, I realize it's not like this everywhere else in the world, but as far as I'm concerned it is here. Debate your side, let them debate their side, you learn something new (no, you don't know everything, don't be so smug), THEY learn something new. At that point you both walk away from the DISCUSSION with some new ideas and possibly something that may weigh you down to the other side all of a sudden. You'll never achieve that by challenging someone else's intelligence.
As for you little rant about censorship, you clearly didn't read my posts very well. Not once did I tell you not to speak your mind. I told you that it would be more effective if you did it a different way. Obviously I've explained all that already so there's no need to do it again.
Now in my OPINION, you might have a better reaction on here if you actually practiced that peace+respect you put on the end of every one of your posts... even if someone doesn't see things 100% your way. My guess here is that my opinion will be different than yours so I hope you don't resort to simple mud-slinging as a way to prove your argument. If anything, don't try to insult my intelligence like you have with so many others.... I'm far from one of these 15 y/o ravers you've been attempting to preach to on this board. On top of that, if you've actually enjoyed some intelligent rebuttal (I know I always do), it most likely won't continue if I'm talked down to.... I have better things to focus my attention on if I'm treated like an idiot.
