That someone won't bake you a cake celebrating perversion is oppressive and dictatorial? Oh the inhumanity of it all....woe and lamentations! How shall you ever survive such afflictions?
Do you endorse the right of a business to contract to pay 4.15 an hour? Do you endorse the right of a business to sell expired meat? Do you endorse the right of a business to choose whether or not it WANTS a fire extinguishing system? Do you endorse the right of employers to remove warning labels from chemicals with which employees work daily? Do you endorse the right of an employer to fire a woman who becomes pregnant? Do you endorse the right of a business to offer minority/ women employees( lower employment stats suggest vulnerability to pressure) a lower hourly wage for the same job? Black men get 9.45, White men get 10.45, women get 10.00. Normally these laws were put on the books because a 'right to boycott' was either insufficient deterrence, did not measure public risk soon enough, or were never tried because employers have a right/ capacity to hide any evidence of pattern. There is no right to legal discovery or subpoena for a group of pickets or activists.
what in thee hell does that have to do with Indiana? or even the topic of this thread? Save the racebaiting for someone who cares
the word bigot is so over-used and under-rated, that it has become rather lack-luster and boring. I am glad you will never come here. I shall reciprocate and you of all people should know by now that I am not shamed by name calling.
You haters amuse me. Can't wrap your minds around the fact that a heterosexual might be in favor of equality and anti-discrimination.
So which one of your red herring diversions had anything to do with refusing service? That's what I thought. I accept your surrender. - - - Updated - - - What constitutes a 'hater'? Anyone who disagrees with you?
It is a logical extension of this new 'right' of a business to pick and choose how it will behave within its establishment, regardless of business regulations imposed by the government. It is basically a libertarian argument you are making. What makes a 'right to serve' in a discriminatory way so special from the right to hire contract and fire at will, the right to negotiate a wage , and the right label its own products, and the right to decide what equipment it will use in its own four walls? How do you justify any regulation of private business conduct except through a lens of public welfare?
See post # 89. then either reply with a justification to ignore the public welfare interest established in each and all of these matters, differentiate this special 'right to discriminate in service' in a public/for profit enterprise from these other, or surrender. Sometimes a right to boycott, simply isn't enough to protect the community from corrosive and toxic repercussions in a for- profit laissez -faire economy. That is why municipal, state end federal business regulations get passed in the first place. you are not entitled to own or run a business in the first place, let alone run and own one any way you see fit.
What gets me are those like yourself whose consciences, sensibilities and tenderness have become so scorched and blackened that you mistakenly believe them to be equally snuffed out and calloused in every other human soul. Such is the blind judgment of the purely self indulgent and self righteous. Your condemnation of the presence of goodness in others who don't want to participate in perversity is further proof to you that it is you who is lacking and off track.
` ` If that is the way you honestly feel. then so be it. I would encourage you to go with that thought and pledge your entire life's earning, to fund anti-homosexual laws. Get your friends to do it too....your entire community...give...just keep giving.
This poll is basically a poll of who is ignorant since I bet those wanting to boycott Indiana have only read left wing hysteria instead of the law.
Which means you should be stridently against any law that favors any special group, right? BTW, I see you still don't know the intent of the law and are still running on left wing alarmism.
I'm sure all their refineries have comprehensive diversity programs. It's okay to deal with them You've never read the Constitution, obviously. Nobody could have missed the Supremacy Clause
I don't understand how the Supreme Clause would change my position on whether or not I believe that Indiana should be boycotted. I believe who am I to try and pressure another state to do what I want them to do and I live in another state.
Even if they do not, I am lazy. Too lazy to walk. Christian Zealot Corn + ISIS Oil, and I am still buying gasoline. I am just honest about it.
OIC, okay, However, your other phrasing led me to believe that you thought the States were supreme in their states. I'll try to read you more carefully. I still believe it's a common misconception among conservatives though.
