Blind man's guide dog barred from restaurant for offending Muslims

[Speedy]

Fuck, I'd send them a whole dressed pig.

Anyone else feeling the urge to send them a can or two of bacon?

Better - send them a letter written in pigs blood on pig leather. AFTER sending them a tin of mincemeat cookies made with pork. Tell them in the letter about the pork in the cookies.

Before I even read the post I knew it was from the UK. If you want a peek into the future of the US under a socialist government, look no further than today's UK.

OMG they're taking over in small obscure news stories! :D

If the owner of the restaurant doesn't want dogs on his property, then tough - welcome to freedom.

oh so killing a life inside the womb is the same as a cabbie refusing to give a blind person who has a seeing eye dog a lift?

please spare us your reply I already know.

Calling a newly conceived egg a human life with rights is a very debatable point my friend... one I'm afraid has some very good arguments against (in my mind, the superior arguments).. Its very dishonest to simply refer to it unequivocally as a human being with rights.

Try and bludgeon people to death with shock and awe all you like... using terms like 'murder', 'killing' etc etc... but it doesn't help your case.

What about rights of refusal here? Now suddenly people here are against this policy when Muslims are involved?

Basically.

Property rights for some, miniature american flags for others. ;)

Wilbur, I'm guessing you live in Canada.

Hehe.

Make no mistake about it... I generally err on the side of refusal rights except for essential services...

The Muslim establishment should be allowed, in most cases, to refuse service on practically any grounds.... but they must suffer (hopefully severe) consequences. Were the restaurant in my neighbourhood, I would happily join a boycott or even protest their stupidity.....






Depending on how good the food was, of course... ;)

When a Muslim can be denied service or a place to play in any place not his own or a mosque and not have to listen to him bitch about it then yeah. But as it is now, if they feel offended at their place, they get their way. If they get offended at YOUR place, they get their way.

If it has to be their place by their rules then my rules have to apply at my place. If it is their religion that offends me at my place, I should have the right to refuse them service for that reason. They can refuse me for the same reason as long as fair is fair.
