I'm sure Orwell would be intrigued by his own prognosticative abilities. LiterateDog - 24/10/2009 12:52:24 AM 642 Views
Didn't we already slice crimes by degree of intention (e.g., murder vs. manslaughter) pre-Orwell? Burr - 24/10/2009 05:23:56 AM 615 Views
Not sure I agree there Isaac - 24/10/2009 02:29:13 PM 603 Views
How about DADT, or employment non discrimination, or federal benefits for civil unions/marriages? Roland00 - 24/10/2009 01:23:06 AM 621 Views
See..this is much more important than Hate Crime Legislation, and it actually accomplishes something *NM* Brian - 24/10/2009 01:52:31 AM 234 Views
Agreed, but Roland00 - 24/10/2009 02:12:11 AM 584 Views
I'd be more supportive of hate crime legislation as a whole if it made any real sense to me Brian - 24/10/2009 02:22:46 AM 600 Views
I'm sure the law is not supposed to deter crime, but rather to ensure justice. Burr - 24/10/2009 03:49:58 AM 539 Views
Which is one of the failures of the American Justice system Brian - 24/10/2009 04:53:33 AM 572 Views

So it's inherently worse for a gay man to get beaten up than a straight guy? beckstcw - 24/10/2009 03:45:43 AM 721 Views
Doesn't there have to be an indication ... Nate - 24/10/2009 04:33:49 AM 585 Views
Doesn't matter, Same crime, same punishment, with no extra preference given to anyone. beckstcw - 24/10/2009 04:48:22 AM 577 Views
It does matter to what you were saying, though. Nate - 24/10/2009 06:32:32 AM 647 Views
One factor in this I don't like though Isaac - 24/10/2009 01:54:53 PM 589 Views

As per my reply to you above: Nate - 24/10/2009 06:42:24 AM 595 Views
