You should be allowed to make decisions based on that information. Not decisions that would lead to violence, but decisions about association, hiring, etc.

Agreed, although I think for different reasons. I think that businesses should be allowed to discriminate for pretty much any reason they want.

From my perspective you read W's post with a great deal of prejudice. Of course, I have my own bias so I could have missed something. However, it smacks of a weak argument to presume the person with whom you are arguing of the most egregious position when it has not been stated. It's like saying, "I can't argue with someone with a reasonable viewpoint, so I'll pretend yours is unreasonable then argue with that."

My original statement was, " It doesn't destroy the argument that people who aren't hurting anyone else ought to be left alone."

Since wagglebee took exception to this, my assumption has to be that he/she does not believe that they should be left alone.

That is far, far from saying their behavior should be made illegal.

Shalom.
