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).
Post #391,128 by folkert 6/24/14 3:24:01 PM Reply	After the fact though loses much of its impact... because that they got away with it, at least initially. 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
