I can't wait til liberals pick up the mantle of discriminating based on looks... it's gonna be fun to watch.


Considering discrimination is a conservative thing I think you'll be waiting a while.

I meant actively fighting against discriminating based on looks. We all do it, it's completely natural, and it's going to be great when the media "has a conversation" about it.

You think being black is hard in America? Imagine being obese.

My point still stands. It's not 50/50. It's been well researched that your political identity also determines how much you value aesthetics over content. Surprise surprise, every study shows that conservatives value aesthetics over content. That's why Trump is leading in the polls. A forceful speech resonates more with conservatives than a well reasoned argument.

Oh, I see. It will certainly be interesting. I think Trans is next though.

...sounds more like we have standards . That's why the ugly and obese are more likely to be married to a Democrat .

I was about to respond and then I realized you were trolling.


On a side note ...I'm pretty sure a company has to be made aware or at least have a reasonable chance of being aware of a disability in order to be held liable for discrimination.

You could say that, but trump is the frontrunner so I'm going to call that theory disproven right out of the gate.

I never said it wasn't real... you acting as if you cared about people who suffer from it was the trolling part
