Ha! Good point.
If men got pregnant, politics would be dominated by women

Scott Walker tried to ban gay people from visiting their lover in the hosptial when they are hurt or sick... and you are defending these people? Just.... wow....
Reasoning with a liberal is impossible. I've tried it many times, but no matter how many of their deluded ideas you prove wrong with facts, they still think they're morally and intellectually superior. The irony is incredible.So, because you disagree with a single (though, apparently very important to you) plank in the Republican platform, you believe that all positions held by all Republicans are universally wrong?
Wow...just wow.
I actually thought his post was remarkably well considered, dispassionate, and thorough.
This typical liberal rhetoric is fucking hilarious, by the way.
Some people are just so obnoxiously ignorant. Darwin hates liberals because they contradict his theory of evolution.

If the right had its way, women couldn't vote, whites couldn't mary non-whites and rosa parks would have been locked up for trespassing.
Which post are you referring to redneckgymrat?
Freed the slaves - Republican
Women's rights - Republican
Civil rights movement - Republican
Food stamps/government cheese - Republican
Separate but equal - Democrat
5/8 compromise - Democrat
Where do you get your upside down view of the world? Read history, and you'll see which side is the *true* champion of freedom and rights...and which side is not.

And for the record, I'm pretty sure that FDR (government cheese) was a a democrat, as was LBJ when he signed the Civil Rights Act and JFK before him when he was pushing it through.
yea if people knew the history of the republican party, they wouldnt be so quick to attack.
Um, read up on President Ford.
Actually you are correct, and quite honestly in private business transactions there is room for discrimination. A private bus company should ultimately have the right to make whatever rules it chooses, even discriminatory ones, as long as there are alternatives. No one is denied a basic liberty or right by not being able to ride in a certain seat on the bus. Obviously, if the service is provided publicly the rules are different and any rules set by the company would have to adhere to a number of legal restrictions. The only reason we protect workers rights to fair pay is because work is not an optional service like a bus ride. Most people cannot maintain any standard of living without a job.
Those might be the breaks in a bad economy. Whats wrong with a little competition?
I offer hispanics as a perfect example. I dont have any statistics on hand but I would imagine hispanics get paid on average less than their white counterparts. It is my perception that hispanics, on average, value family more than the population in general. If hispanic workers tend to put their families before their jobs, it is possible that they do not commit as strongly to certain job responsibility as others. If a company perceives a worker to have higher priorities than their job, even if they are relatively good at it, they may not be offered the same opportunities for advancement or raises. And why should they? A company often makes major investments in its workers when it chooses to advance them or transition them into any new role. Why make an investment in someone who shows signs of not making the most out of that investment?
Because sweeping legislation to end all discriminatory practices would require unconscionable government intervention and downright intrusion. Ive already said, unfair pay practices need to be addressed on a case by case basis, and thats what the courts are for.
I would go so far as to say, it would be okay if every single woman in the United States got paid less than every single man in the United States. Conversely, it would also be okay if every single woman in the United States got paid MORE than every single man. So long as people are WILLING and able to enter contractual employment, they can earn whatever they are able to negotiate.
Hardly. First of all it is not the same battle. Each case is individual, which is why some are lost and some are won. Again, I wont debate the efficiency of the court system, but to call it unjust is simply ignorant.

We'll have to agree to disagree there; I don't see how being a private company entitles you to discriminate.
