Mine make sense, but at least you just admitted your arguments are stupid

Then why say stuff like "Why would you want to turn the black man away, it makes no business sense lol!!!11"
And our point is that it's their private business, they should be able to turn away anyone for any reason they like, same way if you are selling your car, you should be able to turn anyone away for any reason you like, because it's your car, and no one has any rightful claim to it, even if you post it for sale.
 
Because you know nothing of how to construct an argument Based on what, your gut feelings? Of course that's easy to say if your own ethics and morals are flexible. Stop throwing out rhetorical questions. Logic is reason or sound judgment,
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/logic I agree. Or let them not be in business to begin with. They can choose not to fail by following the law. Your entire reply is an incoherent mess. I never said it was. But still have the choice to go in there. No, it's up to me to vote in elections for politicians who will legislate that businesses will allow people in regardless of their skin color in a CIVILIZED society.
 
How? Because they can't shop at that store or buy from it?

Open a competing store that carters to everyone. You will probably have better business than the other store that discriminates.
 
the social climate now is wonderful, especially in detroit! who would have wanted to be in 1950's detroit! great neighborhoods,great schools,thriving business. how did people live like that!
 
At what point does a personal transaction of private property turn into a business transaction of private property? Arbitrary government rules perhaps?
 
What about those same restaurants that are in ethnic neighborhoods and refuse to serve white patrons?

That happens.
 
That's not "forcing" anything. You don't force a negative.

Lots of words are plenty precise for this situation and others. To use the word "fair" in an argument, however, is to bank on an equivocation.
 
The purpose of running a business is to make a profit. Denying someon service based on personal prejudice goes against the fundamentals of running a business. Running a business in a society governed by laws dictates there will be restrictions in place, such as quality standards, taxes, licensing. So by your slim definition, there are no private businesses unless they get free range like chickens on an organic farm.

It's okay if you don't believe in private business, but fucking stop trying to say you do, it just looks ridiculous.[/quote]
It's okay if you're retarded. Stop with the faux-intellectual attempts at arguments.
 
they *may* take the oath, they do not necessarily take it

the oath is not a legal thing. *IF* they take it, it's voluntary, and has no legal bearing on their "free market principles."
 
Yes, I do find it galling. Still isn't under the realm of government responsibility though.
 
You're right... like my right to freedom of association. If I don't want crackers in my house, why should I be forced to let them in my house? If I don't want wetbacks in my hardware store, why should I be forced to let them in my hardware store?
 
So I don't have a right to choose not be friends with xxxxxx race?

If I am selling something on craiglist, I don't have a right to choose who to sell it to based on whatever criteria I want?
