Right.


FIne, if you're so picky that you won't wake up a hour earlier to get to your destination (you know, like most Americans do in their commute), then find a remote place, lock your car doors, and sleep there.

Grow a pair and stop asking for the government to save you. Some people are jerks. That's life.


Most Americans are also homeowners of some sort, and they usually don't travel out of their city to conferences.

Yes, a woman shouldn't be allowed to choose either. If I say you're aborting that thing, you have no right to choose. Dumb broad, why would you have a right to choose on something that directly correlates to you? (obviously sarcasm)

By that logic it is perfectly acceptable to prohibit businesses from denying people serviced based on their race, sex, etc, since such practices harm the general public.



"[P]ublic accommodations" doesn't mean "publicly owned".


Yes, yes they do. I sent a source up above, but that is not what this thread is about.

A source that did not say what you believed it did.

No, it is not perfectly acceptable to prohibit them from discriminating. If a business refuses to provide a service, then people can go to another business. Pretty simple here. Where one business will not accept your kind, another certainly will. Problem solved!

Except that's not certain. Moreover, being thrown out of an establishment because of your race or sex or whatever itself constitutes harm.

Also, Public accommodations can mean publicly owned or privately owned or both. This all depending the circumstances. Here is a more official definition. " Within U.S. law, public accommodations are generally defined as entities, both public and private, that are used by the public."
Although they can be used to mean both Private and Public, the 1964 civil rights act ( as mentioned in the first paragraph of the general summary) outlines publically owned facilities.

Don't lie.

You are not listening to the points I am making, disregarding the evidence I provide, and you are calling me a liar on baseless claims. I am not going to enter into a fist fight with you.

Abortion and businesses are two completely unrelated things.

And if you flew to your destination and don't have a car?

And if racists are upset that the government won't let them throw out all the blacks, well they can just grow a pair and stop asking for the government to save them.

Alright here are two ways:

You ban such discrimination: Businesses create a hostile environment, in which people aren't comfortable and business keeps going.

You let it be: You save money, people know which businesses to avoid, those businesses go out of businesses, you win.

Choose one.

The only discrimination I say businesses can do is discriminating against those who don't have the money to buy what they are trying to buy

but that discrimination should only go as far as "I'm sorry we can't let you leave with that"
I'm some 17 year old psuedo-libertarian who leans to the left in social terms, is fiercly right economically, and centrist in foriegn policy. Unapologetically Pro-American, Pro-NATO, even if we do fuck up (a lot). If you can find real sources that disagree with me I will change my opinion. Call me IHOP cause I'm always flipping.

Labor is an action you take with your body. Labor IS about control of one's body.

You can ask me to provide labor and I can say no.
