Kuthulu,

I think that you are missing MY point completely. I agree with what you are saying on it's face.

But let's work with REALITY.

I have a private company or school. I can within reason CHOOSE certain criteria for people to abide by, and ask that ALL people that wish to participate abide by it.

If you look in the paper and you see that people are unemployed you can make a choice. I either agree or disagree. Simple, there's not much more after that. You disagree and you have to live with that choice.

The high school that I went to as you could see infringed on some of my PRIVATE time, but that was MY choice to go to that school.

Why are you then infringing on MY RIGHT to create a WHOLESOME company or school environmnet? I choose to attend something with STRUCTURE.

Just like here, you seem to find that there's no flaming here. People have registered here and say, "This sucks because I can't flame people. The mods suck because they edit what I say and inhibit me from my freedom of speech." Why then shouldn't we allow that? Because Halx has stated in HIS CHARTER. But isn't that CENSORSHIP? What about the First Amendment?

It's the SAME THING. It's the SAME principle. The idea of choice is what is totally American. You vote with your feet and your dollars.

yes, I looked for a job. I was laid off and unemployed for close to 1 year. I have long hair to my waist which instantly makes it next to impossible for me to work in a financial company because of their dress code. So I had to make a choice at some point in time, either I cut my hair and try to be presentable enough to get hired by a financial company, or keep my hair. I chose to keep it, this time, but there was a time in my life that I had to abide by a different set of rules and I chose to NOT cut it. MY CHOICE. I had people offering me jobs ask me if I would cut it, and I said sure, you put an offer letter in my hand and I'll cut my hair the moment I sign it. For some reason I never got those offer letters.
