Mart's World

It's me, Carl and Chris again because I forgot to invite anyone else. This week I bring up the topic of discrimination and prejudice often being based on assumption. I tell the story how years ago back in the early 80's there was a lad around the town that always wore make-up so I naturally assumed he was one of 'the gays'. Then one day I met him and asked him if he was 'the gays' and he told me he had a girlfriend and a baby on the way which just goes to show that I shouldn't have made that assumption. Then we went on to discuss they way society today hears what they want to hear. I made the point that if I said that I didn't like Israelis, some idiot is bound to say that I'm a Nazi because I hate all the Jews which is not at all what I said.
