So, beacause there are some stupid bigots in France it's OK for this guy to be a stupid bigot too?

I think anyone not serving people based on race or ethnicity should have their shops closed down until they learn to play nice...

[red oct 2]

well there would be a whole lota people having there shops closed down

i think it should be the resreanteers choice who he serves, i mean alot have dress codes does that mean they are discriminating against ppl who cant afford good clothes.

VERY different than descriminating by race...so is it OK for shops in the US not to serve "coloreds"?

Of course not...

I boycott French products, there's nothing racist about it. It's merely a political statement. I can't drink Grey Goose these days though.

Quote[/b] ]COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A Danish pizzeria owner who refused service to French and German tourists because their governments didn't back the U.S.-led war in Iraq was convicted of discrimination Tuesday.

Convicted of discrimination? A private establishment? What kind of liberal pansy a$$ crap is this? Thank God for the U.S. and it's 1st amendment where I can tell anyone I want to f%^k off. What's next?

Copenhagen [2018]: A Danish pizzeria owner who accidentally grimaced at a French tourist was convicted of 2nd Degree Hurting Someone's feelings Thursday.

Your personal boycott of a product and the inability of someone to purchase a product or service simply because of who they are/where they were born are two completely different things.

Schools are government institutions, that makes it different. That's plain segregation, what I complaining about is the stifling of a political statement that's not really hurting anyone except his own business. O'Reilly would have a fun time with you Mr. spindoctor.

Me the spindoctor here? LOL that's rich . I believe you just comitted First Degree Hurt My Feelings .

Now here's the diference. By not buying French products, you're willingly making a political statement. The intended target is the French economy, so it's all good. But by refusing a product/service to someone because he/she was born French - something that they didn't exactly get to choose, now you're making a statement at the expense of that individual because of their ethnic background. c'mon now, what do you think would happen in the US with your precious first amendment right "to tell anyone to fuck off" if someone opened a private establishment with a sign at the door that said "No Jews or dogs allowed"?

That's their business. If they dislike me that much I don't want to be there anyway. What we have here is a failure to grasp American liberty.

That idea can land you in allot of trouble in the real world. Companies need rules, the compliance to which monitored and enforced. Matters that spring to mind are: Inviromental issues, Medication testing (The FDA is on that one in your country i believe), how they treat workers and in what kind of circumstances they have to work, wages (equaily of these for men women, different races who do the same job), sale of banned/illegal/dangerous items, Complying to accounting standards and rules (and we all know their perfectly capable of self regulation there .... *obvious sarcasm*). Simply put, private enterprise shouldnt be over governed but does need governmental influence to be kept in check.

Hmm i see it's a wee bit differen't from continent to continent and country to country. Some seem to dislike people who doesn't want to go to war, and some dislike people who want war. In terms of boycotting products that is, many people over here (Sweden) stopped drinking coca-cola during the war in Iraq (thus somehow protesting to the war) And some in other countries stop using products from a country that is against war. Somehow that makes me wonder, why endorse war when you can endorse peace? And isn't it stupid to boycott a country that is for peace and want a war-free scociety (I am almost certain that wasn't france's objective with opposing the war but still)

Holy shit!

If we did something like this in our business here in Canada we would have it closed down and get sued (rightfully so). We can refuse to service a customers cars when we have past experience of the customer not paying or taking too long to pay by arguing endlessly, but to ban someone based on their birthplace or race is damn right fascist.

Liberty is derived from French.

Statue of Liberty anyone?

Lol UsSoldier1b, what do you say to goverment funding companies with certain connections to the white house, that is getting the state involved in private enterprise, GWB does that a lot!
