Second amendment rights. But only for Christians and McCain voters.

This is really dumb, and I'd like to see everyone in this comm agree that the owner of this store is violating the law and discriminating unjustly. That is my view, if there is another view out there, please, share it with me.

If you need to be licensed by the state to operate... and if compliance to State law is a condition of you license:

Then YES...you ***DO*** have a right to someone else's good or services, because state law says you do.

Which is another issue altogether, of course. Licensing laws are pretty insane, in part because it implies that people have a right to someone else's goods and services. The myriad of problems licensing laws create is an entirely different topic, but that's the on-topic problem they pose here.

I hope you get a doctor who shares your beliefs, but doesnt particularly like whatever group you belong to. Would be interesting to see you re-evaluate your beliefs in the midst of pains in your chest, bleeding out, or some other condition of urgency...

I probably would not. I'm not one for sacrificing his principles in the face of adversity.

Ideology with no context of impact on the people we're discussing is meaningless. I just dont know what else it would take for you to understand the experience of the oppressed.

As an atheist, I am "oppressed" in many areas. As a man, I was "oppressed" in my previous line of work. No, it cannot and does not come close to the type of oppression you're trying to equate this to, but even if personal experience was relevant to this (it isn't), I've dealt with an inkling enough of it, thanks.

I figured you'd respond that way as opposed to actually addressing the points.
