    To make distinctions on the basis of class or category without regard to individual merit, especially to show prejudice on the basis of ethnicity, gender, or a similar social factor.

      Nope, going to need more than the American Heritage dictionary #2 definition from you on this one.

      What does it mean to discriminate? What groups of people are protected from it under law? What are the penalties for it? In your own words and using your own thoughts.

        Sounds like you just want to find the loop holes of doing a hate crime. Have a good day!

          Sounds like you have no individual thought and default to personal attacks because you lack critical thinking skills.

          I would return the pleasantry but you aren’t deserving of kind words considering the aforementioned personal attack.

              Weird that you dislike a thing you cannot even define, and humorous that you think disliking something you cannot define means you have individual thought.

              Instead of hearing someone else’s opinion on something and taking it as your own, here is a simple step by step guide to help you in the future.

              Step one: Learn all of the facts about a thing.

              Step two: Form an opinion on that thing based on what you have learned.

              Step three: Have the capacity to communicate that opinion, and the underlying information that formed it, to another person.

              Hopefully that helps you through such “interesting times”. ;)
