Let's Eliminate Government-Mandated Handicapped Parking Spots.

Christian behavior is always right, always scientific, always the best, even if that's not apparent at first. Irreligious folks don't see that because they can't see beyond two feet in front of their faces.

So when Christians disagree with each other — which happens often — are they both ‘always right,’ or does one suddenly stop being Christian?

Who says government has to be the one to set standards? As an example, the BBB has nothing to do with government, but it sets standards for business behavior.

The problem with government standards is the political element. We've seen that with the ridiculous carbon emissions standards. Then there is the power and control and money element that private agencies don't have.

Smart and successful capitalists take care of their customers. Ethics and morality always pay off. Great capitalists WILL voluntarily do things that are not immediately apparent or visible, but help the customer, even if it temporarily subtracts from the bottom line.

Business will act in their own best interests
Govt levels the playing field

Capitalism doesn’t work without government

Did ANY businesses set aside parking spaces for the handicapped before it became a law?

Any at all?

I already gave an example of why that's not true. Please don't repeat.

There wasn't an epidemic of obesity 50 years ago.

That is a good question and one that need to be looked into as well.

There wasn't an epidemic of fatasses 60 years ago.

People that have lost limbs, had strokes or other disabilities existed 60 years ago.

My, aren't we judgemental...

 

[Mashmont]

My, aren't we judgemental...

How is that judgmental? (Prediction: no answer)

 

[braalian]

There wasn't an epidemic of obesity 50 years ago.

Well, that’s a stupid response.

What about people in wheelchairs? People missing a limb? People with advanced cancer? People with end-stage COPD? The elderly?

These people didn’t exist 50 years ago?

Yes, that is why they put up handicap parking spots..So asholios like Mashmont could have something else to ***** about.

Logically, if there was an issue previously, the ADA would not have been legislated.

There were some. Not enough to create a victim class for like the left did with obese people.

I just don't like people without true disabilities taking from those who have them. Maybe you're glad that happens. I'm not.

How is providing equal access to all creating a victim class?

Meh.

Now you’re just sputtering partisan nonsense that appeals to your side because you know you were wrong and were caught out on it

Instead of just admitting you were wrong you’re going to double down on it. I know your type.

Isn't that an argument for a better test/scheme and not about the spaces?

 

[Mashmont]

By including all obese people with people with true disabilities and giving them special goodies.

 

[Mashmont]

It could be both. If you weed out the imposters, you don't need as many spaces.
