I wonder if you would hold that stance if they put out a sign that said "no blacks/gays/whites/whatever."

- soundnote 4y agoThe Irish need not apply.
- Zetice 4y agoNope, cuz I think protecting specific classes of people, grouped by involuntary traits, is important.
- Tommstein 4y agoOh, so now we have terms and conditions on "Privatized censorship is also known as the freedom of association, and a fundamental right both legally in the US, and morally as an inherent human right." Sounded pretty absolute there for a second while it was conveniently the kind of censorship you approve of.
- Zetice 4y agoI see it as there is more than one human, and when my rights and your rights come into conflict, there's moral precedence that favors non-discrimination over absolutism.
- gameman144 4y agoI'm curious, how is this not the case with the freedom of speech example then? Shouldn't non-discrimination take precedence under your model?
- Zetice 4y agoDiscrimination in what? I'm not sure I understand which right the injury in the speech that would interfere with. I call you a name, have I prevented you from expressing your rights? I wouldn't think so.
