MLD Woody Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I never said every single belief needs to merge into one and everyone needs to agree. I'm talking about businesses refusing to provide a service, and actively discriminating against people because of their genetics. Are white people banned from African American groups if they believe in and want to support the message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 On principle, the bakery will sell most anything to gay people, gay couples. They morally won't make a -gay- wedding cake. The gov has no right to force services to be provided that violate their religious beliefs. The argument that one could claim the same over color of skin is so bogus I'm a bit surprised anyone could claim that seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicIsForSquares Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Businesses should have the right to sink or swim by their own personal business practices. If people don’t like that they opted out of baking a cake for a gay couple, they can avoid that bakery and tell others to avoid giving them their cash. I bet the bakery across town who doesn’t give a crap about sexual orientation appreciated the extra business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 True - but that flips on the other side, for example, Chic-Fil-A...his business can/should thrive with all those who willgive him THEIR business, agreeing with his stance on his religious beliefs. And another baker who gets known for baking anything for anyone ,regardless, could lose the business of those who don't respect that. The problem is the left. They force fake issues, they have liberal lawyer groups who love to make money, and the bakery in Oregon got hammered with a leftwing liberal judge polical fine. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/04/26/bakers-face-135000-fine-for-refusing-to-make-cake-for-gay-wedding.html yeah, make the bakery pay 135,000 bucks over a cake? When SCOTUS ruled IN FAVOR of the bakery in Colorado? The judge in Oregon should be disbarred. It's another way of winning the lottery, like flopping on the floor in the NBA to get a foul called. Manipulating the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what industry is suffering from "full blown culture war"? How does simply choosing what you think is best for your small business, bad for the economy? Franchises have their own established regulations that are predominately profit oriented and nondiscriminatory, so no need to include them. I wouldn't have refused service to the gay couple, but I didn't invest in the business, you didn't invest in the business, and neither did the government. So why does our opinion take precedent over the actual owners stupid decision? They are the people who actually have something to lose. Public utilities I would perfectly understand your point, but beyond that you don't have one. If you had to guess, what percentage of the population do you think are racist homophobic? And then what percent of that do you think are business owners? If you think the only thing keeping businessmen from being discriminatory against all kinds is government, than I don't think you understand business to the capacity you claim. Btw the doorman/bouncer gets paid to discriminate at almost every establishment the position is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htownbrown Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 They all were following the law of the land sent down by the government. I'm as sure as you are there were some racist business owners in the 50's and 60's, but by and large you won't be in business long with that kind of model. I can't see, in today's market, how you could get past social media operating like that. It would literally kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

htownbrown Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 On what grounds? Set the parameters. I doubt anyone would ask or care about your athiesm if you wanted to buy a birthday cake. If you're asking them to do something offensive to their beliefs, I'm sure they'll refuse. It's common sense. I'm sure it would be no problem if a Jewish guy walked in, requested a kosher cake, and was told "No, we don't do that". Happens everyday in this country I'm sure. Are we going to force the baker to get halal certified now so Muslims don't have to be "treated" like the Jews? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they just wouldn't offer it. A Mexican restaurant would probably "refuse" to serve me a gryo too. But that didn't really answer my question. If you say that anyone can refuse to offer goods and services to anyone for any reason, then it's covered. Because you took it to an extreme. If you are trying to play the freedom of religion card, you can skew that in a lot of ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore in Las Vegas where it's legal I'm assuming a Christian Construction firm could refused to build a house of ill repute. Could a Muslim in charge of a broadcast station refuse to show any media about Christianity? Yes if I'm not mistaken Al Jazeera is free to broadcast what they want. Also I seem to recall major networks refusing to are particular episodes of shows for some sort of moralistic reason oh, I just can't remember exactly what they were.

MLD Woody Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 So that's on the ownership level. What about a Muslim that works for the broadcasting station. Can they refuse to help produce Christian media but still keep their job? For yours: No. And for the Mexican construction worker: He is in his right to refuse, but he has no protections if he is fired. Your examples are all ideologies. Opinions. I'm talking more about genetic traits you can't change. (And then also religion, because it's grouped in there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of course we're talking about the ownership level. If an employee at the Christian Bakery refused to make the cake the owners can decide whether or not to fire the person. Same as the Muslim Network or the construction company. Problem is people care more about being assholes than anything else. Like that damn in Kentucky that wouldn't issue the marriage license. Everybody wanted to cause a stink rather than just say okay go to the other office and have the other chick do it. But I figure she can't do what you supposed to do they can fire her.
