    No, but gluttony is. So should a business owner be allowed to discriminate against fat people?

    Gossiping is a sin so should a business be allowed to discriminate against gossipers?

    And just to take care of this, I don't think that most homosexuals choose to be homosexual in orientation. Homosexuals commit immoral acts, and so do heterosexuals.

    Yes, they should be allowed. Personally I would find it a horrible way to treat blacks, females, and Asians, but it should be allowed. A private business should be able to not hire whoever they don't want to hire for whatever reason. The public can then decide to do business with that business or not. I personally would not do business with someone who wouldn't hire blacks, females, or Asians.

    I also have no problem with the public at large knowing that I don't hire open sinners and if people didn't want to do business with me then that is their right.

    Yup. Fat people take more sick time, and cannot lift heavy things like I would need them to. And a gossiper could easily sew discord in my shop, so if they engaged in it, out they would go.

    pedophilia is a sin would you do business with an open pedophile?

    Murder is a sin would you do business with an open, unrepentant murderer who has not been brought to justice?

    Rape is a sin would you do business with an open rapist?

    Well, fortunately, in the United States we have decided not to allow the discrimination that Mat and Bro. Curtis would allow. And we are not going to.

    So if they don't choose to be homosexual you are saying they are born that way? In that case are you also saying that homosexuality is not a sin?

    These actions are also against the law.

    1) Most of them, yes.

    2) Homosexual acts are immoral and immorality is a sin.

    Don't forget Salty !!!

    Should a taxi company be required to continue employment with a employee who has extremely BO?, Should a radio station have to hire a stutter?, should a youth center in a Black neighborhood have to hire a White coach, should an Asian restaurant be forced to hire a German cook...
    I believe in Free enterprise, as a previous post stated, if the company discriminates - than its up to the customers to boycott if they so desire.

    PS BTW - if you believe in NO job discrimination, then you would have no problem with men cleaning a womens restroom - for one example

    Hey! I clean the woman's restroom and their locker room, too!

    So, did anyone hear that New York has a new senator? I caught part of her acceptance speech on TV. She gushed over how she loved Hillary, and how she worked on Hillary's campaign, and Hillary this and Hillary that. So I yell at the TV, "Knock it off. I'm trying to eat my lunch over here!"

    She has two things going for her:

    1. She is not from NYC. It is amazing how NY politicians forget that there is more of New York if you drive north of White Plains.

    2. She is a member of the NRA.

    Time will tell on the rest of it. Two years in the Senate and she'll sound just like everybody else down there.
