Shouldn't anti discriminatory legislation in the workplace be repealed?
If I own a business, then why can't I exclude blacks, gays, the disabled, women, etc. from working there?

IMHO i dont believe in discrimination cause even if meant in a good way, ie positive discrimination theres always someone who loses out
like not many professions get done for discrimination upon sexual preference, and the ones that do like the church etc have some (if bad) reason 2 get away with it, but lots of businesses are known to emply openly gay people cause they're apparently better communicator, which really is just stupid and prejudice againt heterosexuals
Why am I not allowed to drive through red traffic lights?
Why can't I walk around naked?
Why can't I keep huge piles of shit in my garden?
etc

the sole liber is Matt Cavanagh and I claim my 5 euros
Soul Liber, when you open your business and get things going, can I have the right to campaign against you, spit in your direction in the street and leave bags of flaming shit in your doorstep?
I should have the right to, I'm not hurting you by doing it, am I?
But you would be. What a bizarre point
No, i the government's business to protect rights to person and property.
Non sequitur. Not allowing a gay to work in your company doesn't violate his or her right to person and property.
Depends on whether you believe in society or not.
Yes it does. Its violating their right to work.
Which isn't related to physical integrity or things you own!
Not physically, no!
Yes. I believe in collective responsibility. No man is an island and all that.
Yes it is. Without a job you can't live, eat etc.
And there's more to life than what you own. What about friendship, love, compassion etc?
Inconceivable garbage
Who says all companies would discriminate? Some would, but one could argue that they would lose out on the best employees.
No its not, predicated on the initial post.
How so? If it was an option who knows what would happen?
We are in none of places you mention
Companies recruit those deemed suitable and are unlikely to have a colour bar
Young brits don't like engineering., courses are full of overseas students
a colour bar would make no economic sense
Not physical damage, but perhaps mental. Ok that was partially a joke, what with the flaming shit bags ect... what I meant was that then if somebody campaigned against that business?
Would that be violating your rights to make money and run a business? Especially if the campaign was effective.
If too many people prevented black people or certain groups from working in their place, would that not create ghettos?
Its predicated on the initial point. That's the whole point of this thread. Duh! :rolleyes:
Thats your opinion, fact bears out that this is not the case and never has.
I think also that you will find that most people are happy with this to some extent, as can be seen on this post and the link form ladymuck.........
So I'm 'psychotic' for questioning this?
No, instead it taxes its citizens and engages in foreign wars that make us enemies in the world.
A PERSON THEMSELVES earns their money; the state shouldn't forcibly take a proportion of it.
and education, health services, libraries, national infrastructure etc.
Come on sl, tell us.
