I did, actually. Craig Send a noteboard - 23/10/2009 08:39:19 PM
I called him a JotP in my title.

I was making a comparison, not a correction.

Doesn't a JotP have the right to refuse people if they feel there is a legitimate problem with the union? Like, if they're completely drunk, for example. I'm not comparing the two situations. I'm just saying that there is a bit of a judgement call in being a JotP.

And that's why I figured you didn't peruse the other responses - that's pretty much what's already been discussed in this thread. Yes, judgement calls are permissible - no, judging against someone on a strictly race-based basis is illegal.
I am made of poison.

Interracial couple denied marriage license in La. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 03:44:53 AM 818 Views
What? He seems like a pretty rational guy. Craig - 16/10/2009 04:08:36 AM 386 Views
Yeah, he DOES have black friends! He even treats them like everyone else! Lol. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 05:15:13 AM 362 Views
Yeah. They don't have to crap in the yard. He says they can use his bathroom. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 03:47:24 PM 188 Views
Hell, I have friends who won't let me do that. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 06:46:37 PM 161 Views
To get technical, he doesn't say he lets them... just that they do. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/10/2009 07:11:29 PM 194 Views
I can't imagine why anyone would want to crap in this guy's lawn... it's a puzzler. *NM* Craig - 16/10/2009 08:57:06 PM 196 Views
WTF? what is wrong with people?! this makes me wanna pull my hair out! its 2009!!!! Aisha - 16/10/2009 04:19:49 AM 442 Views
How are mixed race children treated in Louisiana? Here, nobody under the age of 60 could care less Tashmere - 16/10/2009 05:19:49 AM 377 Views
I was thinking the same thing. everynametaken - 16/10/2009 06:41:07 AM 357 Views
aren't Cajuns a mix of multiple races (whites and indians mostly)?? Cajuns ARE Loiusiana *NM* imlad - 16/10/2009 05:05:18 PM 145 Views
There really are not that many Cajuns Loiusiana random thoughts - 16/10/2009 06:12:07 PM 320 Views
There are a fair amount. *NM* Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:25:21 AM 126 Views
thats what i thought *NM* imlad - 19/10/2009 07:24:05 PM 128 Views
You're confusing Cajuns with Creoles. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:28:35 AM 322 Views

Depends on where you are. Ghavrel - 17/10/2009 07:30:54 AM 316 Views
That's just absurd. *NM* Sophy - 16/10/2009 06:46:39 AM 141 Views
Some unions are opposed because they can't breed - but here the ability to breed is the problem! Cannoli - 16/10/2009 11:37:34 AM 561 Views
Wild guess: Civil rights act? Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:04:58 PM 374 Views
Personal freedoms trump that. He was not outlawing or preventing it, just refusing to go along. Cannoli - 16/10/2009 03:34:22 PM 346 Views
In this case it might not make much of a difference, but you can't allow it as a general rule. Legolas - 16/10/2009 03:39:52 PM 341 Views
Isn't JP a government position? In that case, his personal freedoms have nothing to do with it *NM* Floffe - 16/10/2009 03:55:32 PM 184 Views
This. beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:46:10 PM 322 Views
So the officials who obeyed the laws supporting race discrimination were doing good? *NM* Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:26:13 PM 136 Views
I'm not sure why I bother with you Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:34:36 PM 337 Views
the government should just get their fingers out of the marriage business imlad - 16/10/2009 05:14:02 PM 358 Views

seems like a very liberal stance to me random thoughts - 27/10/2009 04:55:14 PM 286 Views
A judge is not a private citizen beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:43:44 PM 347 Views
Is it really discrimination? He is not singling out any race, which is what discrimination means... Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:37:11 PM 410 Views
Are you really saying that individuals cannot be discriminated against, only groups? *NM* Floffe - 17/10/2009 04:46:33 PM 129 Views
Um, it seems to me he's discriminating against mixed-race children. *NM* Craig - 18/10/2009 03:44:34 AM 135 Views
He's singling out mixed-race couples beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 04:59:17 AM 501 Views
Good call on the minors Floffe - 19/10/2009 08:29:44 AM 453 Views
Yeah, that's a good analogy beetnemesis - 19/10/2009 03:55:23 PM 312 Views

Psh, everyone knows that mixed-race babies are the cutest, anyway beetnemesis - 16/10/2009 05:51:03 PM 330 Views
Another argument in support of the judge - cute babies are jerks. Ugly babies are much friendlier Cannoli - 17/10/2009 04:25:20 PM 336 Views
one of the hottest women i ever saw in playboy imlad - 19/10/2009 07:45:17 PM 326 Views

Um. 'Cuz what he's doing is illegal? Craig - 22/10/2009 11:28:10 PM 292 Views
