It is obvious that if a business wants to partake of society then that business is obligating itself to the rules of society.

I can see that you learned nothing. I didn't suspect that you would. Businesses do not "partake" of society. The individuals who live in them have rights, some of those rights are property rights.

The "society" you keep referring to has no rights. No right exists to violate the rights of others. You refuse to see that. No problem, but it was instuctive to see how you attempted to establish that right where it cannot exist.

And repeating an erroneous statement over and over again will not make it correct.

Give it up. You are in a discussion with an obvious communist. He can't accomplish what he wants in life, so he's going to use the goverment to impose his beliefs and way of life on everyone else. If he was a "conservative" he would open up chains of non-smoking businesses and be as wealthy as Bill Gates. But we all know the fallacy of that.
