    Why don't you follow the posting guidelines, and refrain from making personal attacks, before you get a nice little Xmas ban?

    So you're saying that in the right circumstances you'd discriminate? You have the beliefs in place, you just haven't been in a position to carry those beliefs out in action.
    At one point society considered this behavior unacceptable, but we have now evolved where is has been considered acceptable, at least to the liberal and litigious, but not to the conservative and religious.

    I have not put much thought into this subject, but this thread got me considering how issues that were once taboo are getting pushed through as acceptable in today's society. Do you think we have reached the limit on what's considered acceptable sexual behavior, or will more groups move forward? Are the only dividing lines going to be those that are enforced by the court of law?

    What's funny is this Macy's employee will sue... and WIN.
    Will that upset your all-inclusive definition of bigotry?
    What a fucked up fruitcake world normal people like me are forced to live in....
    ;)
    ...
    She will not win because her actions were in violation of company policy... just as you can get fired for using your company's computer to surf for porn on company time and will lose a wrongful termination lawsuit.
    ...
    And there was a time (and not all that long ago) where 'normal' people had to stomach such 'abnormal behaviour' as inter-racial couples.
    But... eventually, they came around to accepting it. Or died off.
