[QUOTE="Maui, post: 1503884, member: 45037"] Special treatment? That's absurd. How in the world is being treated the same as everyone else special? By definition it is discrimination. I'm on my phone so it eliminated the definition in my previous post dis·crim·i·na·tion dəˌskriməˈnāSH(ə)n/ [I]noun[/I] [LIST=1] [*][B]1[/B]. the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.
