There ya go, tell them who referred you, fill out an application with 3 references on it who are also members for approval, and walla, you get a card.
in some states it is illegal for a wholesaler not to sell to the public they are known as right to buy states. I use to work in wholesale, but how we discouraged the public from buying from us is we jacked the price up if you couldn't provide a business license
I actually have no issue with a business refusing to serve me for any reason they want to for the exact same reason I won't causally stroll around certain neighborhoods after dark. I understand that some people may not like what I say, what I do, or what I wear and they don't want to associate with me. There are certainly people that I won't associate with for the same reasons...and it doesn't bother me one bit. Of course, from a strictly business perspective, any business who turns away enough customers probably won't be in business for long, but then again, they would have no one to blame but themselves. Yawn, the only idiots are libs/pervgressives...I see what you just did. The truth here is that you, and everyone else in this world are bigots and discriminators, period. It's part of the human condition. So, how is trampling one person's rights in favor of another's "equal rights"?
IOW, you discriminated against them. Not that there's anything wrong with it, but we might as well call a spade a spade.
Actually, the reason the country is (*)(*)(*)(*)ed is because of the lib/prog anything goes crowd. Call it fairy tales all you like, but you, nor anyone else has proven that it isn't true. I have no skin in the religious game though as I'm not religious, I just can't stand the twisted nature of leftists in general. If anything, one has to wonder why a loving, caring God would create such a monstrosity as "liberalism".
Why must someone justify being a prick? This is the heart of why you don't understand freedom. People are free to be pricks. Only a authoritarian tyrant feels they need to justify it to anyone.
If it were the only t-shirt printing operation in existence, then I can see an argument for some kind of damages...heck, or even a t-shirt printer within 250 miles. That's a key point here. Also, people need to understand that it is simply not possible for no discrimination in anything. There is discrimination in practically every thing. I say a privately owned business should be able to refuse service to anyone for any reason they see fit. I also would expect that smart people would understand that a business who makes it a frequent practice of refusing service won't be a business for long. Maybe I should go to the 'hood and file a lawsuit when the convenience store there gives me a hard time because I'm white....assuming I make it out under my own power...
The document isn't a list of all of the evidence, it's a report of the commission's conclusion based upon all the evidence. That conclusion was that the business owner refused on the basis that it was a LGBT organisation and that fact it was supporting "gay pride". So any judge who makes a ruling your disagree with must be a "liberal activist", any organisation you disagree with is equivalent to the Gestapo and a "gay pride" message is equivalent to an "anti gay" one? Yes, I can see how you would personally perceive this as a dangerous president.
If I was a printer, and a judge ordered me to print either pro-gay or anti-gay t-shirts against my will... I'd just assume close up shop and go to jail.
Now, how much do all you guys want to bet that if Nazis wanted t-shirts and the printer refused, this judge would be okay with that, huh? The judge is probably a homo pervert himself.
he can't discriminate if he wants to run a public business, run a Christian non-profit and he would be ok, they are allowed to discriminate against their fellow man
So, if I run a children's Christian bookstore, and someone comes in looking for 'Heather Has Two Mommies' and I tell them we don't sell that because we are Christians and it goes against our beliefs, you believe the bookstore should be FORCED to sell that book?
if the shop allows the customer to decide what to print, then it's the customers choice... if the place only prints shirts they choose then no - - - Updated - - - no, you can only sell what you have in stock... duh if this store only sold shirts in stock, and not custom shirts designed by their customers... same would be true... .
Why shouldn't they be forced to stock it? I mean, refusing to get it in stock discriminates against gays doesn't it?
Frankly Christians are in fact pricks. They are generally sullen,miserable, bigots, and racist. Every Sunday they go to a place give money to a pick pocket freely pray to a mythical being. That washed away their sins for the week. They talk about love and acceptance. Come Monday they are pricks again
I agree that most christians deserve everything you just said, and I'm a christian. I still say that it isn't government's responsibility to force free people to be nice, or fair. I don't feel government should be allowed to be unjust or unfair, but this is private people in a private business. Let them act foolishly if they want.
