WHAT'S A GOOD ANSWER?

YES, NO, I DON'T KNOW, AND MAYBE

NO is a perfectly valid answer.  What is wrong with NO?

When is no appropriate? "May I shoot that person who has just taken a parking space I wanted?"  NO!

May I shout at that person?  YES, but you have to be also willing to accept any consequences of yelling at them.

Is it appropriate for a subgroup of citizens to insist on utilizing a religious based set of laws to govern members of their "community" (in the United States of America)?  NO, HELL NO!

See it's not too difficult to understand.  Wanna argue?  Fine, but the answer is still gonna be and always will be .... NO, HELL NO
