Arizona Republican Bigots

[Jack89]

I think private businesses ought to be able to choose who they do or do not do business with, so long as they are not discriminating on the basis of unchangeable immutable characteristics like race and gender.

This would leave open the possibility of excluding others based upon their beliefs, religion, and behavior.  This does not mean that I would personally choose to discriminate in this fashion, but I think people ought to be allowed to do so.

If I agreed with you, you wouldn't be allowed into my restaurant if I saw a cross on you because you are discriminating and taking away my freedom to be a bigot and atheists, and it would  offend my gay friends.  :P    :roll:  Solitary

So he goes and eats somewhere else and you lose out on business. He'll tell his Jesus buddies and you'll lose out on more business.  Not too bright.  Eventually your business will lose out to someone who does serve Christians.  Come to think of it, If I were a Christian, and the owner of a restaurant hated Christians, I'd want to know about it.  I sure wouldn't want to eat food someone was forced to cook for me.

If someone does't like me, for whatever reason, I sure don't want him to be forced to do business with me.

Arizona is a retirement state and that is basically why they always come up with some fucked up law. You can basically see that most of the laws like this one offend pretty much anyone that doesn't have this old style of thinking. This population group is generally made up of the baby boomer that actually graduated from grade 12, yet still think like the "greatest generation" which served in WWII, and there is even this generation around that has prehistoric mind set of bigotry.

Yep. This is why only people in the majority group say things like this; it only works for them. If you ban a majority group, you lose out on a huge amount of traffic. If you ban a minority group, you lose out on a little bit of traffic. None of these are a good idea.... except there is another case that will most likely happen and fuck over the minority. And that's the majority saying "if you serve them, we go". And that will most likely happen (in some areas, not all), and any business owner wanting to stay in business would have to ban the minority group or lose out on most of his customers.
