Why does it matter if somebody acts like an *******? If that is what they really are than shouldn't they be able to openly embrace that? What is so bad about someone openly stating his controversial opinion in a public way? Is it because it challenges your subjective morality and offends you? Have you ever stopped to consider that we might be offended by the way you treat your subjective morality as if it is some kind of truth that defines the way all of us should live?
For the record, just to prevent the civil rights act as being used as ammo against my point, I consider myself a liberal and not a democrat. If people want to be bigotted jerks they should have that right, and people should openly discriminate against people. I don't think that kind of honesty would be a bad thing. If someone believes I am unfit for a job because I am white than I don't see why he shouldn't not hire me. If he finds I am unworthy or eating his chicken because I have a beard than I don't see why he should have to sell me his chicken. As long as nobody is harmed in the process than I can't see how you can justify it as being bad since morality is subjective. Edit: For clarification, in that last sentence "nobody" should read "No non-consenting parties." If someone wants harm done to himself it should be his right to have harm done to him. If somebody wants to have his or her own flesh mutilated I don't think the government should be able to say they can't have it done. We currently call it piercings.

You read that completely wrong. I'm stating that conservatives are trying to prevent the embrace there of. If somebody is really an a$$hole than why should it bother anyone when said person acts like one? As long as they're not causing harm to a non-consenting party than why should anyone care what that person is doing?

I think what The Unfan is saying is that conservatives don't want other people to embrace you, if you're an a.sshole. Right?
Anyway, my thought on this is that most conservatives like to see themselves as authoritarian, or in a powerful role in somehow, and generally I don't think they like people to think outside of their little close-minded box. Just my thoughts. |

widespread prejudice (like we still do) on the large scale whatever minorities are being discriminated against are suffering greatly fiscally and physically because they have a harder time finding work and stay poor... Basically, I, and many other reasonable folks, believe that the right to be hired based on skill and experience rather than other arbitrary traits is more important than the right to hire people based on whatever quality you feel like.
