It's not as crazy an idea as it sounds. You may already be forced to. You cannot not serve people based on a protected characteristic.
- jasonlotito 6y agoI was referring to not protected classes of people. For example, I have the right to refuse to serve someone who has written bad checks at my establishment, for example. Or I have the right to refuse service to someone who has caused harm to my clients.
- gvjddbnvdrbv 6y agoI get it, but your wording in the OP missed that nuance. I was merely pointing out that as a society we have decided some reasons to refuse service are unacceptable. It is therefore a lot less inconceivable that other reasons might be considered unacceptable.

- incompatible 6y agoOnce you take out racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, religious bigotry, etc., from modern conservatism, is there actually anything left? It's not really surprising that conservatives would turn out to be the biggest victims of "political correctness" based censorship. I'd be happy to be corrected about what modern conservatism stands for, if my impression is incorrect. I'm distinguishing the modern conservatives from the conservatives of the bygone era who favoured neoliberalism, with its ideas about free markets, small government, balanced budgets etc., which does have an academic pedigree, but which seems to have been largely discarded by both the left and right.

- croon 6y agoLet me know when any of the big social media platforms start banning specific minorities and you'll have a point.
