Gotta love Philly

[ROMOSAPIEN9]

Another aspect of this issue has to be acknowledged.
Isn't this a private club? Isn't it within in the rights of a private organization, which doesn't get it's funding from the government, to choose who it's members are?

Not in America. Not anymore. (I'm not saying that fecetiously. I'm stating facts.)

I don't particularly agree with their choice, but no matter how anyone feels about their racially charged self imposed segregation, is it really our business to force them to accept members they don't want to accept? Is it really a good idea to force people to be around people they don't want to be around? Isn't more than likely this will cause resentment and not result in a complete 180º of character and have them simply shrug and say "I love you"?

It is now. Unless it's a minority group that is doing the perceived discrimination.

Whatever the impetus for their personal feelings, who are we to tell them they shouldn't feel this way? Everyone has a right to their own determination and hating them for that is really no better than hating someone for the color of their skin.

Not anymore. Not in America

Why is Arlen specter directing people to search for something to charge them with? If it's not obvious and is simply based in bad taste then why look for a reason to punish them?

That's what we do in America now. We're all aware of the frivolous law suit problem, but there's also a frivolous punishment problem as well. Our government is in the business of punishing its subject. And have no illusions, we are no more than subjects for the goverment to do with as they wish.

As long as you're not assaulting, killing or stealing, a person pretty much has a right to dislike another and take measures, within in the bounds of legality to stay away from them. Do we really want to impose personal morals for 'the common good'?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Let me counter thus:

Yes, you are allowed as a private club to practice driscrimination. But you are also not protected from a public humilation from it.

WE're not saying that, in fact i am for it, but I wont sit here and say, lets let public opinion run private companies. If they want only short white people as their clientele, that is there money grubbing right.

We dont want to set precedent that the public tells private companies how to run their businesses, believe me you wont like it if you are in that situation.


I can go on and on with equality and all that jazz, but its proven to been a hoax and allows certain people to get their equality while leaving others out to dry.

The bottom line is the business can toss out whomever they choose and i have to back them on that for the sake of having something traditional before all order is broken down to chaos and no one wins.

I think the OP was showing his displeasure at the club without thinking it through and allowing emotion to take the forefront of their thoughts.

Somebody has a superiority complex.

I wonder if they have to use a special chemical in the water to differentiate the black kid's pp from the white's?

Yes you are. Harassment is illegal, regardless of how you feel about others within the confines of the law.
