And it is a bad thing and itself is intolerable and should be shamed. Period. *PERIOD* You of all people should get that, many of us here find your cretinous views on this particular subject very horrible... yet we tolerate you just fine. Some would probably say "suffer"... :D -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec Edited by folkert June 24, 2014, 11:13:29 AM EDT Expand All History

And it is a bad thing and itself is intolerable and should be shamed. I quite agree. The point I'm trying to make is that those who embrace intolerance will never have their opinions changed via legislation.

Post #391,121 by pwhysall 6/24/14 2:51:39 PM Reply	True. But that's how some societal change works. Just like the racists, they can adapt or die (or at least die under a mountain of paperwork caused by their appearances in court).

Many will "do it again" and pay again... until you change the forward-bias thinking, the retro-bias damages and punishments just won't be enough or work to help erase the bias. In fact, the retro-bias against, will in many cases INCREASE the forward-bais... many fold, as "those damned (gays/niggers/kikes/chinks/whops/etc) caused me to have to pay those reparations and I'll get them... you'll see, I'll get them." So, they only learn by being FORCED to deal with it... personally and majorly out in the open, subject to public scrutiny... as the saying goes: Those more you tell a lie, the more you believe it! But it goes both ways much of the time. -- greg@gregfolkert.net "No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible." --Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
