so it was very hard to accept as an adult, that they were wrong.
i blame myself.

The Right to Discriminate
by RubyTuesday inevery one discriminates, and everyone is discriminated against, at some time.
discrimination is using your judgment to make decisions about whom you will associate or reward with use of your time and property.
all people discriminate in their personal associations constantly -- you discriminate in whom you choose as your friends, lovers and business associates.
