A perceived flaw perhaps, just because one person's opinion on something differs to another doesn't necessarily make it a fact or flaw. It's just that, an opinion.

Sure, but what happens when good people disagree on issues? You can't reduce everything to a good v bad scenario.
Good people disagree on a whole range of issues, it doesn't make them morally inferior if they disagree with your view of the world.
The worst thing that can happen is if you think that everyone that disagrees with your is somehow a lesser being, for holding contrary views. Your set for a massive fall somewhere along the line if you go around thinking you know best. You don't , no one does.

Hardly, seeing as one of his grandparents gave it to him because of his love of chocolate.
He also calls himself The Man, is that inviting sexism?
