Mal_Fet 09/09/17 6:56:20 PM #152:	hockeybub89 posted... Not baking a cake due to someone's immutable characteristics is seen as discrimination. Discrimination is considered wrong I agree discrimination is wrong. But not everything that's immoral should be illegal. hockeybub89 posted... What I want you to is explain to me how discrimination law is unjustifiable First, because there is a free-market solution to discrimination: stores that discriminate will get less customers than stores that do not. Second, because a law forcing a business to serve someone is unlike any other justifiable law and has worrying consequences and precedent. You should not be forced to make something you don't want to just because the government has classified it as a crime. I don't think either of us wants a situation where a bakery is forced to make a swastika cake because, hey, that's political discrimination if they don't. Third, and what is probably most important to you, is that the Christian bakery actually got MORE money than they lost because of this whole ordeal. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bakery-refused-make-cake-lesbian-couple-raises-record-breaking-donations-n394066 tl;dr: outrage from the general public over the bakery being forced to pay $135k for not catering a lesbian wedding resulted in the bakers getting ~$370k in donations from supporters. At the end of the day, this law wound up rewarding these people for discriminating against lesbians. So not only does the law fail from a liberal perspective, it even fails from a progressive perspective since their only punishment for their bigotry was a couple years of dealing with lawyers and getting a payout of more than double what they lost.

Squidkids 09/09/17 7:15:01 PM #153:	yo, S* poster! ( @Mal_Fet ) explain to me, the following: Why do people that own a business try to deny service to someone based on different beliefs not expect it to be shot down? it was tried over and over and over again and over and over again, it is rewarded to the victims of discrimination. It is not "logic" (to the other S* poster ) to simply "go to another bakery" If someone broke a law over my expense, they will pay. @-Gavirulax- Second, explain to me why the owner of a business holds a right to push personal agenda on people in the name of the business? It says wedding cake bakery, not christian cakes. 3. Pushing this personal agenda actually violates a core Christian belief, no one has commented this at all. You are not supposed to treat people like that, it is contradicty to the faith. I/E Jack Phillips is a hypocrite. You 2 know how to S* post and personally attack others without auguring the main points someone is trying to make Also you must not know history well, @Mal_Fet. THe founding of the USA! was there to protect against discrimination and tyranny by majority. It is why the USA is a democratic republic. You are either troll/S* posting or really lacking in knowledge. NEWS FLASH! THE USA IS NOT A PURE FREE MARKET FFS --- Be a team player, guard those super jump rings.

Your argument FAILS hard once you go into snowball effect in completely discriminating out a good number of people by a larger group even if the larger group is doing immoral acts. This is kept in check with the democratic-republic view and this stems down to free market regulations. We where not founded on a pure free market, nor a pure democracy.

hockeybub89 09/09/17 10:10:15 PM #165:	Mal_Fet posted... Post #152 I honestly don't care if dumbasses want to donate to people who discriminate. I just don't agree in government-sanctioned discrimination. They can be given $1 million by Jerry Falwell for all I care. As long as they have to provide their service to everyone who walks through that door during business hours, whatever. I really don't care to end these people's livelihoods or change their minds. I do think people should bake Nazi cakes if a paying customer asks. However, I don't think that should be explictly protected as political views are not immutable characteristics AND the bakers would only be refusing to make a specific graphic on a cake, not denying anyone business, provided these patrons are not endangering others. While I believe in elements of capitalism, it seem naive to think that the free market will always take care of itself. I would rather protect consumers from being treated second-class than hope anyone who could be discriminated against always lives somewhere where they can find a comparable business to go to instead. You pointer out these bakers got donations. Discrimination may pay in certain areas around the country. If even 1 person is treated lesser due to things beyond their control, then that is too many. I believe we have a moral responsibility to protect others from discrimination. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png http://www.last.fm/user/hockeybub89/ <cite>hockeybub89 posted [p:886326163] in Trump Side...

I4NRulez 09/09/17 11:07:24 PM #168:	The problem with the arguments in this topic is that the fact that when these laws didnt exist we had business doing things like not serving minorities. These laws protect that and if you are offering a public service you dont get to pick which type of person you get to provide service to.

Do you know what "literally" means? ANTI-DISCRIMINATION LAWS ARE IN PLACE SO S*** DOES NOT SNOWBALL INTO TYRANNY BY MAJORITY!!! False. They were originally put in place to keep local governments from segregating. There is no indication that, even back in the 60's, that all businesses would have voluntarily segregated their stores. This is why capitalism is good: all that matters is if a customer can pay. This is kept in check with the democratic-republic view and this stems down to free market regulations. Wrong again. Segregation was forced on businesses by racist local governments. Businesses did not collectively decide to keep blacks out, but many were forced to thanks to Jim Crow. For example, if you wanted to run a restaurant in a Jim Crow area, you were required to have a 7 foot-high wall dividing the white area and black area. Rather than deal with the expense, many businesses stopped serving black people. Again, a free market would have encouraged serving blacks, but thanks to government intervention, "tyranny by majority" got worse. YES! it is a great law and makes F* SENSE if you look at bigger pictures and the bigger consequences if such rules didn't exist Prove that removal of this law would cause significantly more discrimination.

Just because something isn't illegal doesn't mean the govt sanctions it. 2. It does matter if people donate to people who discriminate, because unlike in a free market system where discrimination is discouraged, our current system encourages discrimination. A law like this of course will rally the persecution complex of Christians and of course they will flock in support of anyone who is targeted by the government in this way. Why do you support a system that actually rewards people for discriminating? hockeybub89 posted... I do think people should bake Nazi cakes if a paying customer asks. At gunpoint? Like, if a baker would refuse to bake a cake in support of Nazism in any fashion, you would like to see the government come in and punish the baker? Also bear in mind that religion is also not an immutable characteristic and yet Title VII protects against religious persecution. Political affiliation is just a short jump from there. hockeybub89 posted... While I believe in elements of capitalism, it seem naive to think that the free market will always take care of itself. I would rather protect consumers from being treated second-class than hope anyone who could be discriminated against always lives somewhere where they can find a comparable business to go to instead. You pointer out these bakers got donations. Discrimination may pay in certain areas around the country. If even 1 person is treated lesser due to things beyond their control, then that is too many. I believe we have a moral responsibility to protect others from discrimination. They got donations from all over the country. There is no corner of the world where donations cannot reach. Like it or not, it does irk people (for good reason) when the government uses it's power to force people to do things they don't want to do, even if the government claims they're doing it for a good reason. And like it or not, this law does encourage discrimination.

TrevorBlack79 09/10/17 6:41:24 PM #196:	Mal_Fet posted... You seem to be under this erroneous belief that a business isn't just a collection of individuals. It is indisputably more than "just a collection of individuals." Mal_Fet posted... Being part of a business should not mean you get less rights than others. It absolutely should. Does a business have the right to ignore safety regulations? Mal_Fet posted... If you believe otherwise, explain to me why it's justified for the government to force a baker at gunpoint to make a cake. Sorry, your absurd strawman will be summarily ignored.

Mal_Fet 09/10/17 6:43:50 PM #197:	TrevorBlack79 posted... It is indisputably more than "just a collection of individuals." It's a collection of individuals who produce and sell a product or service. Were they or were they not fined because a person refused to bake a cake? TrevorBlack79 posted... It absolutely should. Does a business have the right to ignore safety regulations? You have a right to not be harmed through someone else's negligence. You do not have a right to force another person to bake you a cake. TrevorBlack79 posted... Sorry, your absurd strawman will be summarily ignored. What would have happened if this baker refused to pay the fine?

TrevorBlack79 09/10/17 6:49:39 PM #198:	Mal_Fet posted... What would have happened if this baker refused to pay the fine? The same thing that happens to anyone who refuses to pay any legal fine imposed for any legal reason. This is not "being forced at gunpoint to bake a cake," this is "being punished for refusing to pay your fines." If you think it's unfair, work to change the law. Good luck with that, though. --- "a minority is someone who you can tell off the bat they are black/hispanic/colored.

hockeybub89 09/10/17 8:34:28 PM #201:	Mal_Fet posted... hockeybub89 posted... But is there a human right to not be discriminated against for immutable characteristics? If it involves discrimination under the law? Yes. If it entails forced labor of another person? No. hockeybub89 posted... Like I said. Don't really give a shit. You are trying to stir a fuck that I don't have to give. I can accept a few of those worst-case scenarios knowing consumers are legally protected against discrimination. See, this leads me to believe that you care more about feeling you support a worthy cause rather than actually helping people. Someone who genuinely wanted to fight discrimination would not support a system that encourages discrimination. Under the law, certain groups of people can not be denied service due to certain characteristics. I believe sexual orientation and gender identity should be added to that federal protection rather than depend on local law. Do you consider it forced labor at gunpoint that a restaurant can't kick out women or white people without facing legal action? I'm sorry you think I'm virtue signaling just because I won't be the liberal you want me to be. You don't like "liberals" that want to end people's careers over having mean opinions, yet you want to call out my morality for not trying to do that. And a system that encourages discrimination? If people are protected, then it doesn't really matter if the bigots get donations. The victims will still be getting their services and/or a hefty paycheck. Everyone isn't going to start illegally discriminating just to take a shot at some sweet donations. The country isn't going to go bankrupt throwing all their money at supporting discriminatory businesses. That is ridiculous hypothetical to care about. For a man that hates liberals and SJWs, you sure do a lot of strawmanning and virtue signaling. --- http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/NIR_Hockey.png http://www.last.fm/user/hockeybub89/ <cite>hockeybub89 posted [p:886376747] in Trump Side...
