Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.
- Jonathan Swift


No discounts should be illegal.

They should charge whatever they want to whomever they want.

You don't think it'd be racist to say "you're black, I'm

going to charge you double."? I mean, especially in light of the fact that black people don't have money anyway. You're being racist, bravo.

Or let's say it gave discounts to black people.


Aug 21, 2014, 2:40 PM [ in reply to You don't think it'd be racist to say "you're black, I'm ]

If black people went there often enough and the store thrived, is there any problem with that?

I see where you are going, but the promotion does not require you to be a christian, only to present the pamphlet.

badge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Even better.


Aug 21, 2014, 3:08 PM

So if Prod is right, the pamphlet discount has to be okay.

You described a scenario with happy customers

and a financially profitable business. I'm not so sure it would actually work out that way in real life, but if it does, more power to 'em. I would patronize the business if their goods/services were worth the (higher white) price.

anymore. The Church is such an easy target for this "anti-discrimination" stuff, that I can see it hitting very close to home eventually.

Aug 21, 2014, 3:16 PM

so if evey business in your town only served atheists, you would think the fair thing to do would be to pick up and move?

They still serve people who don't present...


Aug 22, 2014, 9:49 AM [ in reply to Re: relocate?*** ]

They still serve people who don't present their church bulletin. They still serve people who don't present their church bulletin. To me it is like this:
Your church bulletin is essentially a coupon.
You normally get your coupons from a newspaper.
If you don't read your paper each week, then you don't get your coupon.

I don't see the point in targeting a small business which wants to give out small discounts. If I were in Columbia and a restaurant said there was a 10% discount for anyone wearing Gamecock apparel then I wouldn't gripe about it and try to sue the restaurant.

be cool if the black gets charged double
