Quote:You are evading the point. I, too, support free association and choice. But if you have a business open to the public then it's open to the public. I'm not trying to shame you. Are you not arguing that you should be able to deny service to Jews, blacks, left-handed people? How is that sarcastic?


I think you don't feel comfortable arguing for discrimination - but that's what it is. And no smoke screen of "free association and choice" will cover that. You want that join the Elks or whatever.

The sarcasm was you suggesting id prefer 1930 Germany, I'm giving you benefit of the doubt that's sarcasm at least.


There's a difference between open to public and funded by the public. I have no problem defending the rights of people I disagree with in this case discrimination. Private companies not receiving public funding should be free to conduct business however they see fit, so long as they do not harm someone or someone else's property.
