Refusing service because of political party.

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.

Ok, there would be a difference then, you can’t choose who you are attracted to. But you can choose what you do afterwards. Just because you are attracted to that persons wife, doesn’t make it ok to act on that impulse. Then you can descriminate?
