So dave(et al.) - should every pharmacy be force to carry and sell every drug/treatment?

We should be allowed to turn away blacks and homosexuals at the door too, my business, my rules.

And allow smoking.

No.

Public Interest.

Personal choice, you can decide whether to shop at that story or not.

Uhh we are talking about not carrying products here - not about refusing service to people. Nice try though... you libs can always find an angle to play the race/gay card can't you....

its the same argument


No it isn't. It's not even close. How do you equate not selling products(which is the choice of any business owner) with bigotry? You libs can keep trying to use that same old BS but it doesn't make it any more true.

All you are doing is choosing how you operate your business as a business owner. Rather bigotry or religious discriminaton. You can't cherry pick how an owner can operate his business to his beliefs, be they christian, muslims, or racist.

engrish?

Sure I will bread it down for you, I understand it must have went over your head.

As a business owner you should be allowed to decide how to run your business and who you serve, or what you serve. Whether it be to not allowed contraceptives at a pharmacy, not serve alchohol at a bar, or not allow blacks, gays and jews to shop there. You can't cheery pick which rights you want because you feel certain discrimination is wrong, when other discrimination is right.


Hmm, that didn't really break it down. Hopefully you can get your parents to explain it to you.

So what you are saying is at some point discrimination was alright, but than the law was changed. Due to this, since we have yet a law on the books regarding this, than it is alright for now?

If, or when they do make a law that forces these people to not blend there faith and religion in this job will you all of a sudden support it because you can quote the law?

This whole analogoy to bigosty/racism/anti-gaism stuff is completely misplaced.

If they refused to sell only to certain groups you'd have a point. But that's not what they are doing. They are treating EVERBODY equally.

What about the groups who believe in contraceptives and the groups who do not? If you are the only pharmacy in the town in the bible belt should you be allowed to impose your will on everyone due to the fact there is no other choice?

They are not treating everyone equally, they are ensuring a segment of society cannot obtain a item that will make there life healthier safer and more productive. You can discriminate on something besides skin color and which holy book you read and who you take to bed.

Don't confuse them with facts, their mind is already made up.

People are just as free to not go into a business that allows smoking as they are to go to another pharmacy.

Uh...again we are talking about PRODUCTS here, not preventing people based on xyz. But since you still don't seem to understand the issue, is a liquor store not selling my flavor of beer tantamount to them being bigots? That's what you seem to be suggesting with your line of "thinking".

Oh ffs... Not carrying a product is not imposing your religion or anything else on people. They are treating everyone equally - THEY DON'T SELL THE PRODUCT SO NO ONE CAN PURCHASE IT THERE. Sheesh.

My local liquore store doesn't carry pale ales - WHY OH WHY ARE THEY IMPOSING THEIR PILSNER BELIEFS ON ME!!!! :roll: WHY OH WHY WON'T THEY TREAT US ALE DRINKERS EQUALLY!!! :roll:

Noooooooooooo...........

PUBLIC FREAKIN' INTEREST


Seriously, is it THAT hard of a concept to grasp?

Society is interested in preventing you from refusing to serve someone because they're Muslim.

Society is NOT interested in forcing you to sell Dr. Scholl's Corn Removers.

Public interest to have a bunch of welfar moms being a drain on the system because she could not obtain contraceptives? Since blacks have on average a higher chance to commit a crime I think its public interest to not serve them alchohol

:roll:

Your own arguments can be used against you.

Last time I checked beer was not used as a safeguard against an event which can have life changing consequences.

What you see here is the same as Taxi cabs who are muslim not willing to trasport individuals who have alchohol, would you support that?

Major difference between alchohol, and a medical device that can be used to be able to obtain a predictable, calm life. Sorry you can't see that. Again, they are imposing there own religious views on people by not making these products available.

Go to the next pharmacy or go to a hospital. You CAN obtain contraceptives.

Nice job of a) treating the symptom and not the problem, and b) being racist.

It has everything to do with the topic. Both are events where people decide who to server due to religious reasons. Both are choosing not to server a specifici segment of the public due to there religions. Or is it wrong since now it is a muslim?

Or were you talking about how the difference between beer and contraceptives should not matter?

Your argument is weak and discriminatory in its own right. It's as bad as people who think it is ok to discriminate against homosexuals/muslims but think discriminating against blacks is wrong.

If it was the only pharmacy in the town, would you still support them not allowed contraceptives?

What if the hospital decided to give out contraceptives? Would that be alright?

There's a difference. Taxicab medallions are in limited supply. They are auctioned off by the local transit authority. If bad ol' Mr. Muslim somehow buys ALL of them, there are no more. If bad ol' Mr. Religious Guy buys ALL the pharmacies in town, you can go out and build a new one.

The public, by way of the government, has an interest in the broadcast spectrum. You can't just say "Hey, Google owns everything from 0Hz to 1,000,000MHz so I'll just go create a 1,000,001 MHz device." But, if Google bought every active domain name in existence, you'd be free to go register a new one.

The public has an interest in the allocation of "limited-supply" goods. The public does not (typically) have an interest in the allocation of "unlimited-supply" goods.

Oh yes, because a magazine used for self pleasure and a device used to prevent a life changing event are two of the same :roll:

Keep comming out with these left field analogies, I'm sure it makes you feel better :roll:

Every Pharmacist takes an oath of "the welfare of humanity and relief of human suffering my primary concerns". Are they suppose to be allowed to decide what is for the best "welfare" on humanity? They got into the wrong profession if they wish to mix religion and work, they should go preach at a church.
