RE: Politically Incorrect with Schattenjaeger #1: Discrimination is a Human Right
Honesty is absent in these politically correct arguments, and it's good to see someone else point it out.
There's a sea of contradiction in their arguments. People are now talking about "safe places" while at the same time allowing men to use the women's. They talk about women's equality, yet they ignore obvious violations of these rights when a certain religion of Arab origin violates them. They allow men to compete in women's athletics, simply because these particular men "feel" they are women.
Human beings are, by design, rational creatures that feel. We are not the reverse--feeling creatures that rationalize. Reason is the foundation of a sane society, and emotions and feelings should be put into the context of our natural existence, not what we wish to be true.
The word "discriminating" used to be used as a complement; "He has discriminating taste..." it was a synonym for wisdom, intelligence, saavy. It was discernment in a sense.
Using discrimination to willfully harm someone, for no other reason than that you don't like their race, I and most would agree that is wrong. The answer of "Is discrimination wrong?" should be--"It depends." Any other answer is likely charged with some emotional baggage.
