Questions For You Non Believers

[Waratah]

Fairness is not the same as non-discrimination.

Sometimes it's fair to discriminate. Murderers, rapists, poison ivy, cyanide, that creepy girl who can't stop texting me for the past 8 months.

No argument, sometimes.

We all have things to discriminate against. I have no right to tell anyone how to discriminate, and they sure as hell don't have a right to tell me.

Based on that, waging war on any kind of discrimination is stupid.

You said sometimes first, which I agreed with. This sounds to me that you also agree that all discrimination is not okay. Now I am not talking about telling people what to discriminate against or not, but about government endorsed discrimination of the LGBT community which harms no one. If we did not "wage war"(for me it's arguing for a better world in my eyes) then just in my state it would still be illegal for people to perform a homosexual act(in the 1980's this was still the case, sad really). It's not stupid to try to change what you think needs to be changed in the world whether you are part of the community or not. I am not directly effected by this, but it effects my community in a negative way(mental health issues, drug abuse, suicides etc).

I have been discriminated before and it was a very difficult for me to cope. I myself felt totally powerless to try to change anything. Changes were made due to some strong people in my particular minority and also outside the community. Now I could be wrong but I don't think changes would have taken place without the help of people who were outside the community.

Unless you can give me a good reason, I don't want to wage any kind of ideological war for anybody else.

There maybe a good chance that you might feel pretty good about yourself by trying to help others.[/quote]
