"The whole concept of "anti-discrimination" is fundamentally wrong." Yuyutsu, does that indicate your support for discrimination? Blacks to the back of the bus, coloureds not served here etc!

Dear Paul,

Discrimination (Viveka in Sanskrit) is a very important faculty as it distinguishes man from animals and allows us to choose good over evil and tell truth from untruth!

Now this is not probably what you meant, rather it seems that you use "discrimination" in its modern/pejorative sense of treating those who are different badly. Well, I do not support treating others badly, whether they be similar or different.

As for your idea of placing blacks in the back of the bus, or of not serving coloureds, I find it utterly foolish to do so, in fact it actually shows a LACK of discrimination, yet being a fool should not be illegal. Given that you are the private owner of the bus or shop and receive no public funds/benefits, it is your right to set the rules within your own premises. If you set stupid rules, then you would become everyone's laughing stock and nobody will come to you so you will not get any customers, but well, if that's what you want...

Also, requiring someone to serve another against their will is a form of slavery - surely you don't want that?!

You don't owe anybody a service, but they do not owe you a payment either.

Religion is evil !

I warned Paul, in another thread this law needs very careful consideration
It may be a dreadful out come
Glad it is not my job to draft it
Indy well not going to say you are wrong, in fact you know my view
But, unless this bill is much better than just giving followers rights we not believers do not have it will harm every faith

"You don't owe anybody a service, but they do not owe you a payment either." In a cohesively mutual society you do. The idea that everyone can run their own race when it suits, and then take advantage of the collective when that suits is not possible, you are either in, or you're out.

'Religion is evil !'

Amazing you even have a concept of evil Individual. I wonder where that came from.
