    It's not my job to make you respect my belief system. It is also not anyone else's job to make me respect theirs.
    Someday I am sure you will have enough confidence in your own belief system that you also do not feel the need to make other people respect your beliefs.

    Way to go.
    Just to help you out I would like to point out a small flaw in your attempt at equivalency.
    Wanting to be able to trust in your doctors decision about your medical care and neither you nor your doctor being able to make a decision about care because of what congress wants are not the same.
    If on the other hand you feel that the US government is better able to make decisions about your health care than you or your doctor I encourage you to turn your care over to them.
    But just because you feel that you and your doctor are incapable of rational though is no reason to rob me of my freedoms.

    Wow. I never thought about it like that.
    I guess murdering people over stupid shit in large mobs is just an alternative type of society. Nothing inherently wrong with it. Just different. Thank you for fixing me.

    I do not recall saying that. Maybe that is just something you added into my comment in your head so you could feel better?
    Not sure. I do not think that burning books is good. Especially if it is done as a form of censorship. I was pointing out that even with the extremists in the Christian religions. When a picture of a crucifix with Christ on it was shown as art in a jar of urine no one died.
    People were offended. People spoke out against it. People talked and argued about if it was in fact art of just a little punk saying fuck you to religion. People got angry. No one Died. No one called for the killing of all artists. No mobs came out and destroyed neighborhoods.
    Think about that.

    Everyone says their country is better and that the others are backwards and losers.

    I agree.
    Although if you are a member of a country where large numbers of people take to the streets and people must die because a book got accidentally burnt or a picture of your prophet was drawn. Then I would say that your country has some growing up to do.

    But users cannot sanely determine whether they should give the app permissions, unless the app explains why it wants those permissions.

    Yes they can.
    If I want an App and I have questions about why it needs certain permissions I can ask.
    Most market Apps have comments about permissions. Sometimes just looking I can get the answer. If I need to ask the developer then my download can wait till I have my answers.

    If I install a clock widget and it asks for permissions to send text messages to pay numbers, I don't trust it. If the clock description lists a feature to send text messages to another phone when a user-defined timer goes off, I might trust it. (And it would take more than just that description to make me trust it.)

    Exactly.
    I do not really know what your problem is. In 90% of my downloads a quick check of the permissions it asks for and the comments section lets me know if I should download or not. the other 10% might require a little effort on my part. If for some reason the app at its best in my mind is not worth the effort then "fuck it".
    I do not need to tell others how to run their shit.

    It is not.
    Not that I know of.
    The point I was making was that the programmer gets to determine what permissions he wants.
    The user gets to determine if he wants to give that stuff up to have the app.
    This is not only how it works but in reality it is exactly as it should work. The only times that you have problems are when a user screams "I did not read it!" or when a user screams "I want the stuff you made but I want it how I want it! Just give it to me anyway!".
    In both of those cases I am ok with the user getting screwed.

    Why should you have that power.
    If I write an app and to pay for it I put ads out you have the right to install it or not.
    As long as it is made clear what I have access to, If you do not like it then do not install my app.
    Being able to install my app in any way you want on a free app is not a "right" that you have.
    You are really going to blame Android for telling you what an ap wants and asking if you really want the program?
