Sex-Orientation Discrimination Bill

[Emsworth]

I would vote Nay. Private persons should be allowed to discriminate against whomever they please, for whatever reasons they choose. Discrimination may be "unfair," or even reprehensible, but it should certainly not be illegal.

[Emsworth]

So you oppose the civil rights bill?

If you mean the Civil Rights Act of 1964, yes.

I don't, but how is the poll tax relevant?

[Emsworth]

Obviously Emsworth, Jake, A18 and the others here have never experienced discrimination before, so they don't know what they're talking about.

How exactly would you be in a position to know whether any of us has experienced discrimination? In any event, whether we have or have not experienced it is completely irrelevant.

[Emsworth]

It is if you hate freedom

If you love freedom and liberty, you should be overjoyed at the prospect of a whole group of people being liberated from the threat of discrimination

Maybe you should be overjoyed at the prospect of reinstituting slavery, since a whole group of people (slaveowners) would be 'liberated' from having to work.

So you're comparing homosexuals to slave owners now?

The argument is that, just as slaves were forced to work against their will, bigots are being forced to serve customers against their will.
