Interesting considering another thread about choice and what we believe.

Would you agree then, that discrimination is allowed based on what another chooses to act on, not necessarily the impulses themselves?

I think that's the metric used now to gauge what's correct, and I think it's a relatively fair one. You can refuse service to someone who chooses not to wear shoes, chooses to swear loudly, makes a fuss, etc. You can't/shouldn't if a person is handicapped and needs help, is a certain race, gender, nationality, sexuality. These things we don't choose, and it's not fair to make opinions about people based on these qualities.

For the record, I do think we have a choice in what we believe. We can choose to educate ourselves and evolve intellectually or not. Of course, you can't help it if you're an idiot, and concessions should be made for dummies.
