The distinction is not subtle, it's non-existent.Some carnival rides discriminate based on height, but not on race. That's discriminating over a physical attribute, but there's a difference. When you do (or in this case, don't do) something by race, creed, etc. it makes a bigger (psychological) difference. We may have to agree to disagree about this.
She's discriminating over a physical attribute. Exactly like NBA providers. Not that I care, as I'm not attracted to her physical attributes.
But I'm prejudiced that way. Originally Posted by LNK

We are in agreement about the provider's physical attributes.
Sorry for the carnival ride analogy, ladies. Originally Posted by emptywallet

WHEE!
The carnival ride analogy, entertaining as it is, doesn't really work, as that's a safety issue, not a preference issue.
I'm saying it's exactly the same, assuming that preference is the overwhelming driver. If you start bringing other things into the decision, then it's fair game.
If her choice is due to a safety issue, perhaps she ought to just tell her clients to tie a 6' 2x4 across their ass so they don't fall in. Originally Posted by LNK

Wonder if she carries a ruler. And what if the way you measure is different from the way she measures...which begs the question: If you both agree on how it's measured and you're a quarter inch short...then what?I was thinking the same thing until I saw this...
Measuring from the taint while its stiff would make it appear to be longer. Originally Posted by Prolongus
