Yeah, I remember in 1968, when blacks and other minorities had civil rights, they were all suddenly treated equally everywhere. Until 1991, but you know. Ignorance is bliss and all.

Oh it also helps to know that the place the O.P talks about is in Denmark, but whatever.

Why would you call me a chimpanzee? I thought forty years after MLK, America had been past this nonsense.

I fought plenty of people back in my time, black, white, hispanic, gay, straight, Republican, or Democrat. I once fought a homosexual outside of a gay bar. We both got thrown out for causing trouble. Of course, I beat the shit out of him with the fists God gave me, but we both got up, shook hands, and parted ways. I don't see why that's not possible today. You get angry and drunk. Fights happen. I know the good Lord doesn't approve of violence, but I'm sure He'll forgive me.

So therefore minorities can't be targeted by others for their status? Am I getting this correctly?

It's probably safe to say homophobia in Denmark is a rare occurrence.

In Denmark, where at least one person described the situation thusly:

“People think Denmark is so open towards homosexuals, but try walking down the street holding your boyfriend’s hand. People spit and yell at you. It’s happened to me,” said Jimmy, a guest at Never Mind.


Clearly treated equally...

Sure they can, but there's something funny when people are overly sensitive to it. I remember, as I'm sure Deus did, the days when black people couldn't vote, because they'd get lynched for it. Now, you have people complaining about privilege when they're too dumb to get a job and crying discrimination every time they lose a fight. Why don't people take personal responsibility anymore? It disgusts me to see people play the race/gender/orientation card when they never experienced actual discrimation in their, pardon me, whole goddamn lives.

I've seen entire communities destroyed by entitlement and thousands turn away from faith and devotion. America is falling apart, because people have forgotten the ideals that made this country great.

Oh yes. Good 'ol Jimmy. He's the premier authority on gay rights in Denmark if I recall correctly.

So, the anti-discriminatory laws only promote more discrimation? Why am I not surprised?

These non-Jewish people are allowed to enter synagogues, speak to rabbis, read Jewish texts etc.

A couple of these non-Jewish people, who've come along to the synagogue, would like to practice their faith while they're there. A couple of people doing that would be relatively unproblematic, wouldn't it, sharing the house of worship? (Though Jews are spat at or threatened if they are seen in a church or mosque.)

Now more and more non-Jewish people show up at these synagogues, and soon there's more non-Jewish people there than Jewish people, something which could lead to Jewish people feeling they're slowly being driven out, no longer having a safe space to worship.

Imagine the synagogue starts to discriminate against non-Jewish people, saying they cannot worship in the synagogue. Is that problematic?


Jews are the chosen people. They are a far more discriminated minority than any other race, gender, sect, or creed in the world. As such, we provide unlimited support to the freedom protecting state of Israel and to the Jewish people of America. However, it is shameful that qualified Jewish applicants to jobs and universities are discriminated against, because of affirmative action. Something must be done about this.

Continuing from his point. I think there must be a degree of separation between Jews and Christians, sodomites and normal people, and men and women.


Yes.

I've totally faced more shit from my Judaism than because of my queerness. Abso fucking lutely.

Lat few pages of this topic:

"You're wrong."
"That's not an argument. You suck at debating."
"Lololo chimpanzees."
"There, you sucked again."
" :palm: "
"no u"
"no ur mom"

So uh, this'll sound weird, but anybody want to discuss gay bars?
