Many do, even at their own volition. It’s big government that is fond of zero tolerance.

Do you think that these manner of PDAs ought to be commonplace?

“Many do, even at their own volition. It’s big government that is fond of zero tolerance.”

I’m not so sure many companies would have acted differently. If someone walks into a business (bus, store, whatever), and an employee of the business sprays them with water, it’s a pretty safe bet that the employee would be fired.

“Do you think that these manner of PDAs ought to be commonplace?”

Absolutely not. I’ve said repeatedly that I think the PC angle of this story is bullsh*t. This is sort of the flip side of hate crime laws. I (like most conservatives) am opposed to hate crime laws, largely because I think that a crime is a crime is a crime. Assaulting someone because they are homosexual (or black, or whatever) should not be any more of a crime than assaulting someone for any other reason. The flip side of that, though, is that assaulting someone because they are homosexual should also not be any less of a crime than assaulting someone for any other reason. Again, a crime is a crime is a crime.
