You need to brush up on your English skills. That is not what I wrote, and it is not the basis for my comment, either; you're simply trying to fit my comment into your straw-man conception of things.
Quote:Sorry Parker, just because your sensibilities get offended isn't enough of a reason to take away peoples individual freedom. If you are going to limit peoples freedom, there needs to be a damn good reason for it. Preventing butthurt ain't a good reason.
No, but underpinning the social contract is.
I suggest you ask why someone writes something before you assume you understand their rationale for holding a position.
Quote:If people are going to be free, some people will use that freedom to be assholes. Get over it and move on.
Translation: I'm happy being a bigot. Who cares what that does to social cohesion?
Also, it's funny how you missed Cato's caveat, and provision of an example of bigotry stemming from a private source that was rectified through legislation.
Perhaps when you read Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in the context of the 14th Amendment, you'll see why your complaints are not only baseless, but will be disregarded by the courts when they adjudicate these sorts of cases.
Of course, you'll have to learn how to read for comprehension, first.
