Excellent point. For example:

It's Ok for people to espouse their sexual views and proclivities in a parade and not expect to be charged with sexual harassment

The right to remain silent
Good one.

Here's another: A baker, has the right NOT to bake the wedding cake with two men or two women on top.

Sure, if he doesn’t want to run a bakery.

I would think that refusing to be a slave would be one of those Inalienable Rights in the US Constitution. Or... it is in error. 🙂

Slaves don’t get paid and can’t quit. Their masters can rape them, mutilate or kill them, or sell their children. Your comment shows an extreme lack of appreciation for just how hellish slavery was.


For example the Turks and Chinese used to cut off their male slaves’ genitals. Comparing that to requiring bakers to bake a cake for gays or find another job is…callous and naive at the least!

I work everyday with a bloke who where’s a top knot, it’s not anything like a problem, how big a snowflake are you Joe
He is insecure, trying to find himself. With a top knot? “Look at me!” Truly, do you take him serious when you’re chatting with him? Don’t you feel like there is a little bit of something missing, man-to-man, So, yeah, now I see what you mean, Joe.

No, because his comment speaks only to a right. Earl didn’t talk about slave owners’ malfeasance.

What special status are you referring to?
The right to be vilified and persecuted by ignorant people, is that the status your alluding to?

Of course, we vote to plan a vote, to elect such leaders. Yes, they are legally and agreeably given a position of affecting everyone?
So what is your issue?

You really need to stay on topic not to be vilified and persecuted is an across the board thing everyone should enjoy just for being.

That was not what I was referring to, being given protective class or privilege class status places some in position not enjoyed by non-protected class individuals. Therefore perks and privileges are handed over to some and not others, this makes it everybody’s business we are all affected.

Note, regarding ‘protective’ or privilege’ being given…..being given?. Who gave what to whom?
Then you say that perks and privileges are ‘handed over.’ ….?
I am trying to explain this to my winemaker, but I don’t understand it myself?
Can you explain?

Protected class, isn't something everyone enjoys.
