Liberty and Rights

BillieTheBot

When people justify anti-discrimination legislation they justify it on the basis of "human rights" and "freedom", which all seems very fair and clever.

But how can this be reconciled with ideas of liberty, and ideas of free will? How can people be free when they are not allowed to act as they please?

Murder and acts that damage another person physically or their property obvuiously need to be banned, because that impinges on another's autonomy.

But how can people be free when they are told that they cannot not employ people because of their own personal bigotry? How can people justify giving one person more "rights" than another?

Intolerance, bigotry and prejudice are pretty much everything that's wrong with this world and with the human race. There should be zero tolerance towards people with such attitudes..

So screw the 'rights' of bigots.

Hmm zero tolerance for the intolerant. sounds like matter and anti-matter colliding. lol.

not tolerating the untolerable people...... bit of an oxymoron there


you know this thread is nicely asking what sole liber was asking before about if you wont let a certain group use your services
