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.

Dispensing medical marijuana is against the law, too. I'll applaud people who go into that business anyway, thanks.

Date: 30/10/11 19:31 (UTC)You and I likely wouldn't enter an establishment that was discriminatory. Few would overall. It likely wouldn't end well for those businesses.

Date: 30/10/11 20:30 (UTC)Of course discrimination - both state-required and not - ran rampant. That does not mean the prescription was the right one that protected all rights.

I mean REALLY? You *really* have no idea the ramifications of what you're defending...even though it's general deemed one of the greatest social evils post-Slavery???

Date: 30/10/11 21:42 (UTC)I know full well the ramifications. Freedom of association is more important than the potential ramifications.

Date: 30/10/11 19:47 (UTC)and I like the "unjust" label you apply NOT to the guy who discriminates against others....
but to the people who call him out on it.
On ONE hand rights are important.
On the OTHER hand you defend the ability of people to take rights away from others based on
race or religion...
nice "double standard" you have their -- the RIGHT to oppress apprently is more important than the right to NOT be oppressed.
Then again -- what else is new?

Neither is unjust, but the topic is the law and such, no?

Both are rights. People have the right of free association as well.

No one has the right to someone else's goods or services. That's a point you seem to be missing while taking plenty of time for backhanded remarks.

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...
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.

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

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.
