    People are only allowed as much freedom as the government allows, so the more laws you have, the more freedom you tend to lose.

    That's like holding a gun to someone's head, and telling them to jump of a bridge, or you will shoot them. Did they freely jump off that bridge?

    That exact same argument was made by the people who banned gay marriage. "Nobody is taking away your freedom you can still choose to marry someone of the opposite gender."

    It was bullshit then, and it's bullshit now.

    and the more laws you have the more stability you have. the jumping off the bridge analogy is really stupid.

It's directly what you are supporting and why 'authoritarian is authoritarian' is such a glib statement. Unless you are anarchist, you support authoritarian rule. Saying authoritarian is authoritarian, removes any wiggle room from your assertion...

    That's sort of the end of the argument. You are against rules period. No country, no law enforcement, no rules to obstruct your freedom. We had that maybe 8000 years ago ? It's not how modern society works however.

    My part in this story has been decided. And I will play it well.

    the right to discriminate against others based on orientation.

    I never said I was against all rules, period. I'm merely against an unnecessary restriction in overall freedoms. Modern society does not work that way, because people have an inherent desire to force their beliefs onto others. I'm not a big fan of such things, if you hadn't noticed.

    the right to discriminate is by itself a de facto law upon whose domain that person enters.
    your move.

    Now we're talking about imaginary, de facto laws? Are you fucking serious?

    I support freedom, it's really that simple.

    I don't think you understand the difference between a law, and freedom.

    if you can't enforce your freedoms than it's not a law now is it?

    So, if I get it right, you think that customer and employee discrimination based on religion is no big deal and restricting it is unnecessary. If so, you are entitled to that opinion, but most modern governments and ppl don't share it with you.

    That's because most modern governments and people are authoritarians, and don't believe in actual freedom. Instead, they believe in using the government to force their beliefs onto everyone else. What is worse, when they apply their desire for authoritariansim in an inconsistent manner, making them hypocrites on top of that.

    It's called property rights, it's inherit to owning property. Notice how the communists that passed The CRA made it so that no business was truly private anymore. It's even more sad to see people openly cheering the fall of the greatest country to ever exist.

    Oh, I already know it's a losing fight. Humans want to control other humans far too much.

    You want to go back a few hundred years.
    It's hilarious because you want to take us back to pre 1964.

    I like how Trump's slogan is "make America great again" but apparently neither he nor his fan club can name what part of American history they mean, since or past is filled with racism, corruption, sexiam, cronyism, witch trials, civil war, cross burning, etc.

    Holy shit! Did you honestly respond to a question about stopping people from murdering gay people, by calling that approach authoritarian and Hitler?

    You are easily the dumbest person in this entire forum, by an extensive margin.
