THIS is what intolerance looks like, imagine how it feels...

[ldf]

79. be honest... which of the following is a choice?

gender
race
sexual orientation
religion

the first three results can be exclusive, or a mixture (even gender), decided before birth, by factors one can't control.

but the last one is, exclusively, a lifestyle choice.

as i have posted before.... the lyrics to "you have to be carefully taught", from south pacific...

You've got to be taught
To hate and fear
You've got to be taught
From year to Year
It's got to be drummed
in your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught
To be Afraid
Of people whose eyes
are oddly made
And people whose skin
Is a different shade
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught
Before it's too late
Before you are 6 or 7 or 8
To hate all the people
your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught
