Again... Boilerman struggles with the English language. His new scenario is not discrimination. Boilerman is not granted the liberty to invent new definitions for existing words in the dictionary. Perhaps Boilerman can invent a new language

Boiler never realized that those with discriminating tastes hate black folks. I always assumed that they simply enjoyed fine dining, expensive wines, and Cuban cigars.

Thank you for the correction, PJ.

Absolutely not ! But discrimination is a real word in the English language and you are obviously ignorant of its definition. I'm sorry - I cant help you with that beyond informing you that you need a vocabulary lesson.

If you still had your shingle, should you, or any other attorney (especially a gay attorney) be forced by the government to represent the Westboro (God hates fags) Baptist Church?


That is a bad example for you to use if you're trying to make a point. The professional rules of conduct (enforced by government) prevent attorneys from turning down cases because they don't like what their prospective client had done or stands for. So yes if I were still practicing and Westboro wanted me to represent them in a matter that I had expertise in I'd have to take them on as clients.

So gay folks overlooking straight owned businesses in preference of gay businesses isn't discrimination, yet whites overlooking black owned business is discrimination? I see how this works.

We both know that both examples are discrimination, but we also both know that Liberals only concern themselves when certain folks discriminate.

No, you clearly don't get it which is why you desperately try to equate consumer boycotts with discrimination.

Lets reverse the people in the original example. A gay businessman that refused business to a straight wedding would be discriminating....and I would be thrilled to scorn him for it. A black bar owner that refused to sell you a drink would be discriminating - and I would be thrilled to scorn him for it.

A consumer choosing to do or not do business with any entity of his choosing for whatever reason is not enacting discrimination.. If a baptist minister wishes to boycott a gay bakery nobody gives a crap - including the baker.

This was posted by PJ earlier today.

"Discrimination: (n) 1. treatment or consideration of, or making a distinction in favor of or against, a person or thing based on the group, class, or category to which that person or thing belongs rather than on individual merit."


Would PJ now explain why a gay man refusing to do business with a straight man is not discrimination. PJ, you and I know that Liberals are fulling accepting of discrimination, just depending on which group is getting screwed.

Now, let's thoughts again on discrimination.
