lol restaurant threathened to be sued by atheist.

Exactly. There are several ways you could position your body if you want the discount - yes, even atheists are capable of contorting their bodies in some of the ways you mentioned above.

So, as long as I'm willing to go along with the notion that it's OK for religious people to get preferential treatment by pretending to be religious, it's not discrimination?

Link to where the restaurant said anyone was superior to anyone else?

When they offered the discount.

Didn't you know that the owner is religious so that is what it has to be? But that uninformed bias is ok to have.

Most restaurant owners are religious. This one treated religious people differently.

Semantics. I think everyone knew what I meant.

It makes a difference if the restaurant is a private club or if it is a public business. It's not semantics. In a private club, the owner can offer an prayer discount if they so choose.

Yep, that's what I said.

It is the inescapable conclusion therefrom.

Hence why I said we.

I don't recognize your authority to decide for other people what they should think is important.

If you use the word public a lot, it makes his point that much more valid.

Do go on. I'd love to see you justify that.

It does need to be leveled but AA does not do this. All AA does is pick a couple lucky winners. To bad so sad for the unlucky ones.

Since the slots given from AA are still the results of competition, they aren't actually "lucky winners".

My school has more resources than 98% of schools. We're an urban district and it's ridiculous the amount of funding we get and the number of resource at ours (teachers) and the students' fingertips. We've more than leveled the playing field and it hasn't changed anything as far as our kids academic success or lack thereof goes, imo.

It's sad. Our kids are provided sooooooooooo many opportunities and still underachieve like crazy.

My kids are in classes of size 20-25. How about your students?

I agree it takes more than money. One key is the belief that success in school will correlate to success after school. If you don't have that, all the money in the world would be wasted.

Basically the only difference between us is the degree and reason of the discrimination. Not discrimination itself.

I never would have claimed otherwise.

So would you be in favor of a restaurant doing so and choosing to deny people for whatever reason they want?

If you are talking about a supper club, with a membership agreement that everyone has to acknowledge, and not open to the general public; then they can do as they please.

What country was this? Not the US, where church attendance is considered so important, that those who don't attend services on Sunday are often given work duties in basic training.

He got ousted because his players were going to refuse to play for him, and his coach was threatening to quit over it. It was a business decision by the other league owners.

but the general public was more conserned about a guy who may or may not have said racist things in private. than obama lying in public and trmapling on the constitution.

MURICA!

Because it is a declaration that those who pray are special and deserve special treatment.

aah sorta like a participation trophy.
no more 1st 2nd and 3rd place.
cus that means those ar epsecial.

instead now adays kid leagues dont keep scores and give everyone a participation trophy.
no one is special.


message being sent is we are all entitled

Why do white people need to proclaim they need to be treated equally to white people? Why do heterosexuals need to proclaim they need to be treated equally to heterosexuals? Why do religious people need to proclaim they need to be treated equally to religious people?

so those are special. they are above the rest?
they are not equal, to the rest.

You are in several protected classes.

Your race, age, religion, gender and sexual orientation are all protected classes, regardless of what the specifics for you are. This has been covered already.
