Very well, I have a preference too, I prefer that people who kill small children receive the death penalty. Put the electric chair next to the kitchen, you follow your preference, and I’ll follow mine.
Looking at all your comments in this thread, it seems to me that you are. At the very least you don’t seem to have exerted any effort thinking about how to tell whether something is like chocolate or like baby-eating.
You seem to be confusing “I don’t like X” with “I object to X”. The following two examples should help illustrate proper usage:
I don’t like chocolate.
I object to baby eating.
Just because you, personally, object to eating babies, doesn’t mean you have any right to say whether eating babies should be forbidden to others!

(With apologies to Charles James Napier.)
I’m not confusing those, I claim those are all too easily confused in the general population.
