The reactionary nonsense is on your side. Argue for the good old days all you like, just don't expect to win, because you won't.Or I just misread it, as in this case. To his point, if the trend was going against slavery, then that is the trend. If the trend is more rights for gays, then that is the trend, If the trend is expanding the classes that are considered protected, then that is the trend. In the real world things usually go forward, not back.
Here is a stupid definition of "freedom": freedom related to this thread is the right for a consumer to decide where he wants to shop and what he's willing to pay and and a merchant to decide who he wants to sell to and what he's willing to sell his merchandise and services for
The trend is to expanding protection to classes.
The trend is marriage equality for gays.
Tis what tis.
kaz, look up definitions of freedom and liberty: you are confused.
Ok guys, now I see what you're saying. "No one should argue for change that goes against the trend or bucks the status quo." - pretty standard reactionary nonsense.
Just keep adding "protected classes" and see how that works out.
