Freedom means that people are going to be intolerant.
What do you honestly care about freedom? You see no problem with the sitting American president allowing one of the world’s most oppressive dictators to meddle in our elections. Do not, for one second, act as though you care at all about American freedoms.
What a silly and erroneous response. I expect more from you.
Why? It’s pretty typical of my commentary.
Yeah when you get worked up but you can do better.
I don’t know. I’m an angry guy full of bitterness and hatred, so I don’t think I get much better than that.
But you do better when you’re not trying to run a point into the ground. I’ve seen it.
I don’t see much reason to respond to your post beyond this since it doesn’t even have anything to do with what we’re talking about. We’re talking about discrimination, not intolerance, which are separate issues.
Discrimination is a manifestation of intolerance.
Yes, but once intolerance manifests itself in discrimination, it becomes illegal. This is a very basic concept.
But that is what we are discussing! Discrimination is not always illegal. The basic concept is generally true, but not always. The real target, ultimately, is the intolerance itself, which can manifest in all manner of ways that would be difficult to end without destroying freedom.
Discrimination based on immutable characteristics is illegal.
Can be, but not always. Obvious example that we’ve been discussing is religious organizations. Private clubs and individuals can also discriminate.
We could under American law require all adoption agencies to not discriminate, but the fact that religious organizations are allowed is not itself illegal. This is all the stuff we’ve been discussing.
