Jeez, Frankie, I don't even follow him of FacePalm.
That, in a nutshell, is what keeps me hanging around on RF. It's the opposing ideas found outside the echo chamber of our minds. Fortunately, I'm pretty stable so even getting roughed over from time to time doesn't bother me much. What is worrisome is when we seek to make the world sync the tenor of our thinking and immediately stifle anything that causes a discordant jangle.
Cake is a type of food. Not selling food to people whose ideas you disagree with will be tantamount to murdering them through starvation (like famines created by Stalin and Mao).
Are you thinking of having different laws regarding what grocery stores are allowed and what restaurants and cake shops are allowed?
They don't want to make the cake they don't have to work there. There job is cake making not getting people married. What if it was a girls name just sounded like a guys name, it's just words on a cake.
But they never have pork products anyways. Further, in USA, all big grocery stores sells cakes as well as wedding cakes. Allowing grocery stores to refuse to sell food items based on beliefs is very dangerous. And there is no legislation that says I need to have a wedding to buy a wedding cake. A wedding cake is just another cake with "X weds Y" written on it. So.. sell the cake but refuse to write the words. Simple.
It is tolerance vs intolerance, and intolerance appears to be in a losing battle whether it's hate based on race superiority or hate based on sexual orientation.
When you serve the public, you serve the public, and discrimination is not a right you legally possess.
Yay. Far Left vs Far Right. Fire and Ice. Let the dragon wars begin!Yes. Governments/Corporations will use the same practices to censor far-left sites as "hate groups" and "extremism". It will not be confined to the far-right for very long but will spread as it becomes "standard practice". I'm really uneasy about this but I'm not seeing an alternative without ending up in the firing line. Given that the far-left and the far-right are treated as equivalent threats to "liberal democracy" they will go after the far-left pretty soon.
I like your passion comrade. The anger. The hatred. The lust for power to make the people think and feel correctly. The righteous desire to purify the minds of the people of the lies and slanders of their enemies and lead them to state sponsored enlightenment and virtue. I'm sure you'd look very sexy in a uniform enforcing some discipline.
If you really believe what you're saying, then you're playing for the wrong team. the dark side is always open to new members. Why not give it a try whilst its still legal?
Generally, these terms of service have clauses that let the provider terminate the service by refunding any prepayment. They also let the provider modify the terms.
... which is generally their right, unless they're doing it on the basis of illegal discrimination. And last time I checked, "racist" wasn't a protected class.
It seems you're asking to create the opposite problem: when a provider wants to stop providing services to a Neo-Nazi group and goes through the process that's laid out in the terms of service to make that happen, you don't think they should be allowed to.
I wouldn't want to be a corporation who's tied to those sorts of rules: I have to keep on providing some service as long as my client doesn't say "no"... even if it stops being profitable for me? Even if the technology used for it becomes obsolete?
You can't imagine why someone would want to drop a client when keeping them would mean getting boycotted by a big chunk of the rest of your clients?
If "free speech" means that we're each entitled to a website, then I really ought to kick myself for paying money to my web provider for all these years.
