(May 20, 2010 at 5:50 pm)Paul the Human Wrote: I don't think discrimination based upon race, gender, sexual preference, or religion should ever be allowed under any circumstances. You have the right to hate, you even have the right to speak about that hatred publicly, but for the sake of society, if nothing else, all people must be treated equally on an individual basis. That just feels like the way it should be to me. Period.
And when Paul hints that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should be repealed....in the name of "freedom" mind you....not because he's a racist ( wink...wink) this is what he is talking about.
These things are illegal now. I would look skeptically on anyone who wants to turn back the clock.
But then again, I'm not a redneck, tobacco farmer from Kentucky, either.
