I'm taking a poll. A simple yes or no will suffice, although you can go into greater detail if you want to.
I'm going to avoid saying whether I do or not and why until results are in.
[Edit: Please post your answer BEFORE reading any of the other posts in this thread as to not alter your answer.
OK?]

Constantly.
Moreover, I try my best to be observant.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
Yup.
Especially where a good brew is concerned. I am VERY discriminating. Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :
Yup. Of course.

OK, the question is, what were you going to say BEFORE you entered the thread? (THANKS, tt&t... )

simple yes
Posted by tt&t (Member # 5600) on :
Oh, and before I entered the thread, my answer was going to be yes.
Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :
Of course. So does everybody.
Posted by Shan (Member # 4550) on :
still yes, sad but true

Discrimination is a necessary skill.

I try to discriminate between, and not to discriminate against.
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
I don't know. I discriminate against American swill beer all the time.
Sure, I might say I'm discriminating between *good* beer and *bad* beer, but I'm still discriminating against the bad beer.
Oh, and I discriminate against bad movies like Underworld, ID4, and the Matrix Reloaded, too.
Hmm... lessee... and I'm sure certain books, comics, music, and... oh yes, stupidity... are also things I'm discriminatory against.
(this is definitely what I was thinking as I came into the thread... actually, I was thinking about the following quote:
"Rosencrantz?" "Yes?" "Guildenstern?" "Yes?" "Don't you even discriminate?!?")
Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
Absolutely.
Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :
I wasn't being that serious, tt&t, it is just you ruined the joke straight away. Posted by pooka (Member # 5003) on :
Yeah, I only got two posts into the "march for women's lives" thread.

Hey, FlyingCow.. Just because America has Pabst Blue Ribbon and Coors Light doesn't mean that there isn't the occasional Henry Weinhard's Blackberry Wheat (sadly discontinued though)...
By the way, I discriminate every day, but I'm afraid I don't understand what jokey point you had for this thread.
Posted by FlyingCow (Member # 2150) on :
Oh, I don't discriminate against all American beer. Just American swill. I mean, we've got a lot of great microbrews (rogue mocha porter comes to mind). It's just the mass produced urine-beer I discriminate against.

I hope I discriminate

Yes I do. How I perceive the world is done by "grouping." I do not have the time or energy (assuming it is even feasible) to get to know people's individual merit. Do I perceive differences between two ethnicities or religions or genders? Yes I do. Do I make distinctions? Yes. Do I research every individual to make those distinctions? No. I go on personal experience.
However, I try not to hold people accountable to anything unless I understand them individually.
