There's quite a difference between judging a criminal and judging someone simply for being born.
I don't know what you mean. I'm saying it's not bigoted to refuse to employ someone because they belong to the group of people who aren't qualified to do the job. But it is bigoted not to employ someone because they belong to an irrelevant group, such as a skin colour.
Paul: If you are hoping pedophiles won't work with children based on their own morality, how would making it illegal make any difference? How would the law ever be practically enforced?
No I'm saying if there was an honest pedophile I'd hope he'd be reasonable and logical enough to accept that it's a good idea for himself her to avoid jobs working with the children they're sexually attracted to and will have a lot of physical contact with.
And I didn't talk about enforcing a law or making it illegal I'm saying it's a bad idea for them to work with children and I'd support any employer who didn't want to hire a pedophile for a job involving children. I just looked back and the specific words I used where that is advocate excluding them from certain jobs. That's all I've said so far I hadn't even put any thought into legal issues but we could talk about that if you want, it just hasn't been a part of my argument so far.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
