Keep your mind to yourself. No one has any right to it but yourself.
So if I have the right to keep my mind to myself, don't I also have the right to let a Yeerk live in it by my own choice?
You're apparently not supposed to choose that over the other.
It's like saying that even though you have the right to vote, you also have the right to NOT vote. But you aren't supposed to excercise your right to not vote.

First off I think there is a difference between property rights (aka, your head) and civil rights (right to vote).
However I'm not going to argue about that because admittedly that was just a last minute thought of mine I put in to show that using the "right to your own mind" thing was a bit of a flawed argument since if its "my mind" I could do what I want with it, including letting a Yeerk in. But like I said it was a last-minute thing so I'm not going to worry about it to much.
We all said that if we were to allow a Yeerk in our head it would be the ones that are like the peace movement and want to live in mutualism symbiosis with the host instead of being parasites.
I never said I wanted that kind of yeerk. I'd let a mean yeerk inside my head. I'd let any yeerk (except for maybe esplin 9466) enter my head. And I don't care if you guys think that's wrong. I would and that's the truth.
Eh, to each his own.
Sure you have the right to put an alien into your head. But why would you? You all talk about benefits. I can imagine you could get info on technology, but you don't really get it. The Yeerk does all the work. Its like being replaced by another person. Yeerks don't go into peoples heads to have a fun time. They go to control you, thats why your called a controller. You think it will give you some control, but why should it. You're at its mercy.
You might think you could just let the Yeerk live in your head and not become inolved. Why would you settle for any less control of yourself than you have now? Whatever happened to the solve your own problems mentality? Why lets a Yeerk do it?
So yeah, you have the right to let a Yeerk crawl into your head, but the Yeerk has no right to control you. Unless of course you give them that right and allow yourself to be controlled by another being. That must be real easy, to let someone else live your life. Sounds like the thoughts of a weak quitter.
You don't seem to get the point of letting in Yeerks who don't want to control us, like the Yeerk Peace Faction/Movement/whatever its called. They want a friendly,cooperating relationship with the host. The ones that would want to control most us wouldn't let in voluntarily. Or at least I won't.
