Philosophical belief under discrimination?
#4
RE: Philosophical belief under discrimination?
Again, this is obviously British law so would someone enlighten me on what someone's "beliefs" have to do with anything?

In the US someone's beliefs ( and we have some fucking winners running around unsupervised ) are irrelevant. For example, you can believe in sacrificing virgins to the Moon goddess but as long as you don't go out and do it, so what?

Speech ( or belief) is one thing and conduct is another.
