Office Depot Refuses to Print Image of Charlie Kirk

[SweetTea]

Wow. Congrats. You’re more knowledgeable about the laws of this nation than the current AG.

Some meritocracy.

Good, so you agree that these people should have been fired for violating company policy. That is the topic of this thread.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

It's exactly the same. Except, "It's different when we do it!"

Except it's NOT exactly the same. Good grief I USED to think you were somewhat thoughtful. Now I see you're a cowardly leftist who just wants attention as a contrian

 

[Carl in Michigan]

Pretty sure he won too.

He did, and these are not the same.

A law banning discrimination on political affiliation would be a bad idea. Political affiliation is too murky to properly define.

That would prevent you from discriminating against literal Nazis, given that is a political affiliation.

There is no such thing as an unacceptable gender or religion, but there are unacceptable political parties.

Speaking of murky, Democrats have placed gender, a once very firm black and white issue, firmly into that category.

Of course there are unacceptable genders or religions, but that's another debate.

That's an easy out, but it's not true. If you don't like having your hypocrisy pointed out to you, well.... Too bad.

As expected, you’re hiding under the covers whenever anyone points out this administration is a total joke.

Not with this one. I have no interest in getting the heat off the left.

My interest in this thread is something I've seen coming for a while now - some people want to add "political affiliation" to the protected classes of civil rights law. They want to ban discrimination based on politics. Do you?

They want to ban discrimination based on politics ? So you are saying that they want to ban discrimination based on politics in order to then replace it with what ?? Who are they ??

What are you saying ?

Are we allowed now to discriminate based on our politics ?

Who is wanting to ban discrimination based on politics (the right) ???????

Discrimination based on politics is illegal right ?

If there is discrimination based on politics being allowed, then that means that a class of people can persuade government to refuse money to certain group's and business's based on their politics right ?

Now of course there are always exceptions when it comes to thing's regarding morals and decency, otherwise if they are being violated and the majority including government officials that represent the majority see the incursions or violations as being wrong.

Bottom line is that depending on the acts, nothing is cut and dry, so interpretation has to be used in hopes to solve the individual issue's or case's at hand.

Society has decided otherwise.

A joke by whose standards ?

Not that big of a deal, because we know what gender is.

The right have made religion very murky. I didn’t know baking a cake was a religious ritual before. It I guess that now counts. What isn’t a religious exercise now?

Maybe the employee could say it’s against their religion to print a photo of Kirk. Then they couldn’t even fire them.

What are you saying ?

I'm saying I've to talked to several Trumpsters who think it should be illegal for businesses to discriminate based on politics.

Discrimination based on politics is illegal right ?

No. That's not the case. Political affiliation has not, yet, been added to the protected classes gravy train.

If there is discrimination based on politics being allowed, then that means that a class of people can persuade government to refuse money to certain group's and business's based on their politics right ?

No, the government is prohibited from discriminating by the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. We're talking about businesses and individuals. If a van full of ICE agents shows up to my diner, or a bunch of people with MAGA hats, should it be legal for me to refuse service?

Now of course there are always exceptions when it comes to thing's regarding morals and decency, otherwise if they are being violated and the majority including government officials that represent the majority see the incursions as being wrong.

I have no idea what that means.

That leftist EMPLOYEE was not the owner. She made her own decisions violating company policy

 

[dblack]

Society has decided otherwise.

No, it hasn't. The majority has merely forced its will on everyone else with ill-considered laws.

 

[SweetTea]

Not that big of a deal, because we know what gender is.

Obviously you don’t. How many are there now? You will get a myriad of answers if you ask an average Democrat.

The right have made religion very murky. I didn’t know baking a cake was a religious ritual before. It I guess that now counts. What isn’t a religious exercise now?

Baking a wedding cake isn’t a religious ritual, but marriage is. Had they ask the baker to bake them a coconut cake for a dinner party, I doubt there would have been an issue.

Too bad you're not able

The employee could have said that yes, but the employer still could fire the employee based on it's mission statement and protocols when it comes to servicing it's customer's regardless of their religious beliefs or their secular affiliations.

Your need to be contrarian for the sake of being contrarian has exposed you.

She is in violation of COMPANY POLICY and she got fired. End of story
