I rather suspect the right to fire at will is not just a concern of bigwigs in washington - i rather suspect its something that every chamber of commerce from North Carolina to Alaska is intent on defending. |
no idea what your actual point is. seems like it makes no substantive difference and that if u had comprehended the gist and not the letter of my post u would realize that.

Wrong there -- I do not want to make it illegal to offend other people. That would just be retarded and against freedom of speech.
However, I get tired of some others who express outrage or bitter sarcasm towards me, just because to me personally, I find some slur comment offensive. |
then u r probably just running the crowd. and u merely get hit w/ the spray.

as an aside, there's probably no better way to make me an anti semite then to go around shutting up ppl who happen to have an opinion.

What's bizarrely funny is that, of all minorities, Jewish people probably have it the best. They are certainly much better off than Hispanics or Afro-Americans. Anti-semitism exists, but it has been notoriously unsuccessful at immiserating the Jewish community who seem to be doing quite well in Canada and the US.
I mean, imagine it, a wealthy, well educated and prosperous community with a very low rate of incarceration and victimization by the police is complaining about their lot. How ridiculous.
This doesn't excuse anti-semitism, but it makes me wonder why it should have that much of a profile seeing as how it doesn't seem to cause much evil.

So its ok, to say racist things about Japenese Americans, cause they do well, but not Hispanics, cause they dont?
Racism is wrong without regard to the socio-economic status of the vicitms. One cannot be sure of the long term consequences of hate, and so it makes no sense to evaluate its seriousness based on its current effects.
I also note that hate is often directed against affluent minorities - Jews in 1920's Germany, Chinese in south east Asia, Protestants in 17thc France, etc.
