NC has responded to the Feds

Fair and unbalanced brought up government money, hack, not me. We know how you feel about PA laws. You think business owners should be able to put up these signs if they want to...

whites%20only.jpg

Of course businesses should be able to put up that sign and implement that policy in on their own property if they choose. However, Jim Crow laws were passed because they didn't want to do it

I think if you want to get rid of PA laws, businesses should have to inform the consumer up front who they won't serve.

Fair trade, yeah?

Yes, it is. In fact that's my position. It's like privacy policies. One of the few government programs that ever worked. Government didn't force a particular privacy policy, they only required businesses to have one and post it for consumers. Government only held them to their own policy.

I think that's the perfect solution for discrimination. Businesses should have a policy, and be held to the standard of their own policy. That way customers, employees, vendors, everyone can make an informed decision if they want to deal with that business or not

Fantastic! Now git er done. Oh that's right..,you don't actually DO anything about PA laws beyond decrying the unfairness of them on Internet message boards.

Such a rebel!

How do YOU know what anyone is doing about anything? You say the same stupid shit everytime PA laws are mentioned.

Because he's told us he doesn't actually DO anything about it. He considers whining about it on a message board as "doing" something.

Mostly because you know we are right.

Right about what, getting rid of PA laws? I don't know Queen Elizabeth, what do "we" think of them? I think that as long as I am required to serve a Christian in all 50 states, he should be required to serve me or that I should not have to serve him.

Here's a fun fact for you federal PA laws don't grant your perversion the same protection against discrimination as people have for the color of your skin. So why exactly do you defend a law that allows discrimination against your perversion? LOL

Yet. Title II does not include sexual orientation or gender identity yet. Which one do you think is more likely, getting rid of all of them or adding those? (answer in link)
 
Republicans bring the fight to the toilet! How incredibly awesome this is.
Umm, yeah let's not forget that it is the Liberals who are trying to make this #1 on their agenda and Loretta Lynch who just declared that 'gender self-identification to be more important than the 'privacy, safety, and security of citizens / women in public bathrooms'.

Once again the libs are pushing a minority-supported agenda onto the majority of Americans who oppose their agenda / the issue.
 
'You MUST buy the govt-defined health insurance or be financially punished.....You MUST allow men into the ladies' bathrooms or we will come after you. We're the govt, and we're here to help'.

Ya, thanks but no thanks....

:fu:

You have serious mental issues.

PA laws OBVIOUSLY give special protections to some classes that other classes don't get. Each time some class whines, a new provision has to be made, and you somehow don't understand that these laws INHERENTLY dont give equal protection of law?

Oh, and I find it unlikely that the law will be changed to include homosexuality on the federal level anytime soon.

It's not liberals passing silly pecker checker laws in an fit of pique over gays marrying.

These anti trans laws do not protect the privacy, safety and security of citizens / women in public bathrooms. Stupid anti trans laws require that this individual use the women's restroom.

How fucking stupid is that?

You better check your public opinion again...6 in 10 Americans oppose anti trans laws like NC passed.

You can "find" anything you like. Try finding your ass with both hands if you can, but President Hillary Clinton will sign the bill if she gets a Congress to pass it.

Form and function are two completely different things.

Pity makes poor public policy.

A tran individual attempts to, through cosmetic surgery, fool the public that they are of the opposite sex, but in reality they remain incredibly more simalar to the sex listed on their birth certificate.

A trans male may dress like a female, apply makeup like a female, but it is simply a cosmetic disquise meant to deceive the public as well as themselves. They remain vastly more Male then female.

Taken to the extreme they will even have cosmetic surgery on their genitals and their chests, but even then, a male trans breasts will not function as a females, unable to fulfill the basic reason breasts exist to begin with. Simply cosmetic and vastly more closely related to a male then a female.

The male tran can have his penis surgically altered to resemble a vagina, but it will not function like one. A Woman has a vagina, but it is simply a small part of the entire female reproductive system that the male tran will never have. Again, the male tran is still vastly more closely related to the Male, and it remains debateable how exactly they are related to the female at all.

The government had no duty to recognize a cosmetically altered individual, when that individual does so voluntarily.

We have recognized that some will take advantage of the trans and passed law (Hate Crime), to address this. By doing this, the government has fulfilled its obligation to these people.
 
as did I, more than you ,,,,next pop .
all your worlds apart differences are only cosmetic ...

Giving birth is cosmetic?


Bet you didn't dare tell your dates that!

Oh, why the hell would a hooker care anyway.

No wonder you have no respect for women.

To you, pregnancy and childbirth are cosmetic

And hookers = Dates to Daws
Wrong as always pop.
I respect women far more than you ever could.
You put women in a box .
The most insulting thing you do is attempt to think for them.
You'd be everything a girl could want in the 19th-century.
Now not so much.
Never dated hookers, never had to .

Bet you can't say the same.

No I don't think child birth is cosmetic, the has no relevent to this discussion.
Nothing you've posted on this subject does , not for a very long time.

Poor delusional soul

Tries to brush off some very real events that only a woman can know as being "cosmetic", then throws a hissy fit.

No man will ever fully realize what it takes no carry and deliver a child.

Not even one who mutilates their own body I'm the attempt.

So Romeo, pitch the "cosmetic" tripe to all the lovely ladies.........

And watch them laugh their asses off at ya.

It's funnier then hell when you think about it Romeo.
The hissy fit and the delusion are all yours.
 
It will be tossed out for lack of standing.
elaborate
When you do.

That's weak, dude. You explaining yourself was not contingent on him making a case. Makes me believe you're not a serious poster.
Your opinion is meaningless.

You've shown your but a troll. So GFY.
More meaningless yammering.

I fully support your right to not serve a Christian if that's what you choose to do, which of course you can't do on federal level, even though the Christian can refuses to serve your gay ass if he chooses not to.

Your very argument supports a repeal of the PA laws, but you are too stupid to understand that.

No doubt, the only people I discriminate against is people who don't have any money. All others are welcome.
