****** Why does anyone need to Declare they won't discriminate ???? Also can we operate on the assumption that little discrimination exists period???
****** The substantial difference between Conservatives and Progressive Liberals on this matter is that one doesn't think there should be specific protected groups and the other does.
Right. Liberals discriminate against class and race most often, wheras Conservatives believe everyone is equal.
Equality is not firing state workers once their homosexuality becomes known.
Well they shouldn't sign statements that they're not homosexual then.
I certainly wouldn't.
Because discrimination DOES exist and I think if we start dismissing it as not really there or not a big problem then we run the risk of ignoring the very real damage it can do to people's lives.****** Why does anyone need to Declare they won't discriminate ????

I think we can at least agree that there are groups more prone to being discriminated against. With that in mind, is it not right that we do more to protect groups that are at greater risk for discrimination?****** The substantial difference between Conservatives and Progressive Liberals on this matter is that one doesn't think there should be specific protected groups and the other does.
I wasn't aware of such statements.
If that's true, then that's a whole other level of inequality.
Firing them for being liars is one thing; firing them for being gay is another.

I'll be the first to admit and champion the idea that we're becoming a much more open society now than we've been probably ever. But that doesnt change the fact that discrimination is a very real thing that we need to be concerned about.
We've handled the idea of discrimination quite badly in years past and I think we still mishandle how we try to fix the problem, but thats not to say it's unfixable.

You have no idea which groups of people get discriminated against most often?****** What category needs the Most protection ????
"Standards of decency"? I think that's your fear of change speaking.******* To be more precise I contend that We are not the same Nation we were once in these regards. There is a Greater tolerance all around BUT a headlong rush into a society with few standards of decency and immigration at levels not seen since TR Roosevelt was President is not an ideal situation . It causes problems.
Why? Because homosexuals make you uncomfortable? :doh****** I also realize YOU are focused on Gay Issues in this regard, and I truly suiggest that Many just cool things for at least a few years.

***** Odds are that most in this Country for ever - in SOME regards will be uncomfortable with Homosexuals. I don't see this changing . Tolerance is one thing - having your face rubbed in it is another.

I dont know that I'm equipped to properly answer that question.****** What category needs the Most protection ????
So is your shtick against immigration or tolerance, you're being rather unclear.******* To be more precise I contend that We are not the same Nation we were once in these regards.

What makes you think I'm focused on "gay issues" moreso than others? I speak on it more but that's because thats often what comes up here.****** I also realize YOU are focused on Gay Issues in this regard, and I truly suiggest that Many just cool things for at least a few years.
Except you either cant define or are hypocritical of what "having ones face rubbed in it" means.***** Odds are that most in this Country for ever - in SOME regards will be uncomfortable with Homosexuals. I don't see this changing . Tolerance is one thing - having your face rubbed in it is another.
***** Well , whatever the message was in that I didn't get it (?????)
That's the best source you have. Why can't I find this in any MSM source?What to expect? Going back in time.

Exactly how does a homosexual man rub your face in his gayness?
maybe he's just a bastard, his sexual orientation has nothing to do with it?****** My nephew is Gay. He's a now 50 year old decadent Greedy Bastard who has manipulated his Mother (my sister) - I've given up being Civil or considerate to him. He's been HIV since 1997 - now has Throat cancer and is undergoing radiation. 50/50 odds they say( ???)
******* Since I joined the Church his attitude is rather obvious.
So can I make a claim that all new liberals are equal to Alan Grayson (D) Florida and everything he says is equal to new Democrats? Hmm... the taint of hyperpartisan hackery pervades this thread while the Old Spice topic fails to cover the stench.
