		<description>Andrew; not helping people for one view or another is some kind of discrimation. But it&#039;s the &quot;you don&#039;t share my view so your worth nothing and that&#039;s give me the right to treat you like dirt&quot;-kind of discrimination I&#039;m talking about.

Just as an example: I&#039;ve met Muslim men that honestly believe they can&#039;t talk to me without my husband&#039;s permission; in my western point of view is a kind of discrimination, but none of them have done this in a way that have made me feel less.

If people understand.

Well; I do not mean to take things beside the point.

But on a general matter; yes, I would help, and most people is never ever near my lines. At least in my part of the world you have to be really extreme before I say no.</description>

		<description>I would not hesitate to help unless the site promotes something that can harm somebody else (i.e. if they have a spammer site, they promote hate).  Usually when somebody contacts me for help, they are always regular nice people though.</description>

		<description>Andrea, that is pretty much my take on it. I think if a group was quite active in the media then helping them or not may be making a statement about allegance. I am also really talking about helping for free which I wouldn&#039;t do for a group that had the funds to gain a &#039;media presence&#039;.

Louis, thank you. On the whole I agree with that.

Kristin, I don&#039;t want to take the conversation too far away from the point but there are cases where I think a little discrimination would be a good thing. Of course it does depend on how you define discrimination. Encouraging violence is right out for sure though.

I haven&#039;t found my line yet and I think I am lucky for that.</description>

		<description>My carved in stone line is discrimination and encourage of violent acts against other being. (And usually the two goes hand in hand). This doesn&#039;t include a random rant of someone they hate or something like that, but if the entire site all about this, I just turn it down.

And as Andrea says, it depends how things are said as well. When living a country of free speech and religious freedom, you just can&#039;t put away every site or person which/who have an opinion you dislike and disagree with.

So it really boils down to (at least for me): do they write their opinion etc. in a way that you are left with the agree to disagree, or does everything they write just make you angry.

This is an interesting question, and first time I read you post, I wanted to say &#039;no, I don&#039;t care what people think, believe etc.&#039;, but that would not be the truth. We all have a line drawn somewhere.</description>

		<description>You are a nice guy! You helped me numerous times and I think you should keep helping people even if you don&#039;t agree with their opinions. As long as they dont do criminal acts or stealing people&#039;s rights, it&#039;s just a difference of a way of thinking.</description>

		<description>I think it depends. I mean, I&#039;m kind of in the same place you are - maybe I&#039;m too nice. I have helped out a bit on political sites and personal sites with content I disagree with. I guess it depends on how much I disagree with the content and if the person behind it is offensive.

I also try to be as helpful as possible, so overall I&#039;d have to say yes, unless they give me a strong and compelling reason to feel otherwise.

I would, and have, help out others who are a differing religion or sexual orientation.

Now that I think of it, I did turn down an offer to work to work on an anti-abortion site, mostly because I really disagreed with the focus that the campaign was taking on the website &amp; in the media.</description>
