http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/06/u...-voter-id-laws-discriminate-based-on-age.htmlCivil rights groups have spent a decade fighting requirements that voters show photo identification, arguing that this discriminates against African-Americans, Hispanics and the poor.

Arizona passes law allowing discrimination | MSNBCThe Arizona bill is one of several bills across the country aimed at providing legal protection to those who wish to discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. As of Friday, however, its the only one to actually pass, with similar bills in Idaho, Tennessee, and South Dakota being defeated and a bill in Kansas being held up in the state Senate.
After reading the above, discrimination is clearly a major topic in the news lately, and without focusing on just one particular incident. With that in mind, I ask the following:
In general, how do you feel about discrimination?
Are there situations in which it would be acceptable to discriminate?
Is discrimination ever a good thing?
Do you discriminate?
Discuss.
