If they are getting paid by the government then they should marry everyone, but if they are in the private sector they should have the right to marry whomever they want.# Just like anyone in the private sector should be able to hre and fire anyone they wnat.
You have a stupid haircut? see ya.# You are too fat for me? you're gone! you're gay? get the hell out of here.# You're black and I'm a racist? no job for you.# When it comes to the private sector I could care less why people get fired or don't take on customers.# They run the company, they put the money into the company and they take the losses of the company.# If they don't want to hire someone for whatever reason they should not have and if they wan to refuse someone service they should be allowed to as weel for whatever reason they feel necessary.

I'm not usually one to judge and I tend to keep my opinions fairly free of any strong biases., but that is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. So now we can only count on the public sector to uphold human rights? Just because you own your own business you are allowed to discriminate against anyone you want? That's insane. Imagine going to McDonalds and not being able to get a Big Mac because you were Chinese. Or to go into Chinnook Centre, only to be told to leave because you were wearing a turban. Talk about one monumental step backwards as far as upholding human rights.

Well that is your opinion I think if someone starts and runs their own business they should be free to do what they want when it comes to hiring, firing or who they want to deal with.

It's not a matter of opinion. and if it is, keep it to yourself. Its a matter of upholding certain civil liberties EVERY citizen is entitled to. You do not have the RIGHT to dicriminate in this country, nor should you. What if we had the right to murder women that committed adultry because they were now viewed as vile and dirty creatures? Should you be allowed to kill them? Of course not, even though it may be your opinion that it would be ok to do so. Yes, you are free to have your own opnions. But in some cases, you ought to keep them to yourself and not let your own racist views govern your actions. [/b][/quote]
How am I a racist?
I would not discriminate against anyone if I owned my own business.
