and as in the case of all homonyms that meaning is determined by context.Discrimination means what it means.
In the sentence: "The baseball player used his favorite bat to hit a home run." we know from context that the word bat here is not referring to a flying mammal.
The meaning of discrimination in this thread is just as contextually based and means unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people. And you know it.
It used to be commonly used as referring to discernment, and yet when someone actually uses it to discern, then the political definition ends up being used against the one who used discernment.
That's the real wordplay that's going on, and it's being used to keep people from discerning, which just happens to be what we're supposed to be doing.
Why would i want you to continue your equivocation?If you'd rather I use the word "discern" in place of discriminate (which by definition, means the same exact thing), then let me know.
and just a bump of the question you ignored: Do you really think there any posts in the last several pages of this thread where anyone used the word discrimination as a synonym for discernment? Of course not, you aren't stupid. But why do you think everyone involved in or reading this thread would be stupid enough to think exactly that?
