And I bet that makes you feel so powerful. With such wondrous power and virility, one would think a person would not be terrified of black people. I guess no matter how many hammers one over-charges for, they'll always have the big penis. Life is unfair.

If you weren't a dick you would have gotten the hammer for free, but you couldn't handle that, so fifty dollars it will be. Do you have it or not?

are you kidding?... you making it emotional, by stating looking "down your nose".........that has nothing to do with rights....only what you feel.

laws are created for the protection of rights.....not to make people feel good, because someone did something another did not like

Yes, I know they are for the protection of rights. Otherwise, people's rights would be trampled on everyday by merchants who don't mind discriminating.

Why does it not surprise me that a white guy is over-valuing his hammer? Got a big truck to go with that?

Yeah, so? The Constitution only ensures that the government treat people equal under the law. My point.
Click to expand...

no ....the constitution states the government shall create no law, which makes some people an exception to the law.

all laws made by government has to apply to all the people equally..........bill gates cannot be exempt from law because he has money......because he lobby's government.

I'm selling a hammer, and since you're an ass and apparently have no other choices because you are so oppressed, then yeah, I'm going to price it higher. Fork over the money or get out of my store.

So in your opinion it would be perfectly legal for Sam's Club to refuse service to any particular race or religion?

Sorry, you only have a right to engage in trade with people that consent to do so with you.

I think your position is becoming clear, and I will not over pay for a substandard hammer.

Good day.

Did you forget about your oppression? You have to shop with me, so do you want the hammer or not?

Not if you are selling goods to the public. You don't have a right to deny trade because you think I'm not worthy.

I'm selling a hammer, you know to drive in nails with, so again, do you want the hammer?

Hey, the man you want to be your slave is willing to sell you something, which is more than the rest of the market is willing to do. You either buy the hammer from me or do without. Your choice.

Where are you getting this idea from? We are people - not property. You are ascribing some absolute right where there is none. And all because you want to be a bigot.
Click to expand...

if you not your own property, then who do you belong to?...you are physical matter....do you just float in space, and exist and thats all?

rights are an absolute, FOR THE PEOPLE AT LARGE.

rights of a single individual can be curtailed, if that person commits a crime, or violates health or safety.

the bigot line, is nothing more than a poor rebuttal, ...to something to don't like......laws cannot be CREATED ON AN EMOTIONAL BASIS.

The right to engage in trade. That goes with a person's liberty.

Only with those that consent. Otherwise, you can't claim liberty, since your action is in violation of anothers liberty.

That also equally applies to the person being denied the transaction. Your rights shouldn't trump another's.

I didn't consent to engage in trade with them. Both parties need to consent to engage in trade.
