Depends on the context. Discriminating against a person because of his/her race is ignorant and lazy. Discriminating against a person because of their beliefs and/or behavior is quite rational.

The subject is far too wide-ranging to be a debateable topic. As B.K. points out...it can be either, depending on the circumstances.

What they said. ELABORATE

Discriminating between things is ok.

[InkL0sed]

Discriminating between things is ok.

Otherwise everything would seem the same.

[jimboston]

Discriminating between things is ok.

... but discriminating between people is not?

[Woodruff]

... but discriminating between people is not?

As we said, the subject is far too wide-ranging to be a valid topic. You're going to have to narrow the focus. Specificity is in order.

I suppose it can be.

[john9blue]

You can't just ask some vague question and use it as a "gotcha" later on to imply that we agree with some dumb policy. Don't pull a Phatscotty on us lol. jk we're still cool right scotty? ...scotty?

All forms of discrimination are obviously OK, regardless of the context or grounds.

The type that I especially like, more than all the rest, is when somebody comes for a job interview and you are all like "no way is this job for you dude, you don't look like me and my buddy Jim and I find your funny hair kind of weird looking, you would probably have more fun in a job where you clean out the insides of bins forever and stuff" that type is the best.

Sometimes its best to just admit you cannot do something and move on. For example, I cannot tell a decent joke. (except once in a very rare while, by accidence )

Is this in the forum rules?

#1 - Player here is a another example of how your comment doesn't apply in any way to the quote you are including. Please explain what your comment has to do with anything the Good Doctor said.

#2 - If you "tell" a joke by accident it's called a mistake, not a joke. I am guessing most people laughing at your "joke" are laughing at you... not with you.

I cannot tell a decent joke.

As a doctor, I feel that it is my duty to diagnose the root of this problem.

Player, are you perhaps stumbling onto a fallacy ad racialisticum when you attempt humour?


For example, do you often find yourself telling jokes that go something like this:

"An Englishman, a Scotchman and an Irishman walk into a bar; then everybody laughs at the Irish guy for being stupider than the others and for wearing unflattering shades of green"

Only to be greeted by replies of:

"My Mother is Irish. You fat f*ck"

If so, then you can probably remedy the malady by changing the joke to go something more like this:

"An Englishman, a Scotchman and an Irishman walk into a bar; then everybody laughs at the Irish guy for being stupider than the others and for wearing unflattering shades of green, but they do it in a nice way"


Try it out, come back and tell us how it goes.

[Pedronicus]

My girlfriend is half Irish. She is a stupid as stupid gets. f*ck knows just how dumb she'd be if sHe was 100% Irish.

[Pedronicus]

She's got a lovely rack and gives great head btw

I was going to ask why your going out with a stupid person, but this explains it

[alex951]

I think its human nature to discriminate against people based on culture and looks

[THORNHEART]

Depends on the context. Discriminating against a person because of his/her race is ignorant and lazy. Discriminating against a person because of their beliefs and/or behavior is quite rational.

depending on your race your more likely to have certian character traits ....resulting in you being lazy or ignorant...

is this not evolutionarily correct?

It is not discrimination or racism if it is true

I think culture determines your character traits more than race.

no on both counts.

[THORNHEART]

You can choose to be ignorant....

and thank you alex...i meant culture of course not so much race but then again your culture comes from your ethnic backround..
