[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] Yes, the 14th ammendment does say that no state can make a law that discriminates between citizens, but there's a big difference between a state passing a law and a private institution denying entry. I'd suggest that if someone can proove in a court of law that they were denied entry to a school based solely on race, THEN the government can force the school to let them in. Ziyal: "Are you really that oblivious to the racism and bigotry in this country?" I'm aware that it's there, but I'm also aware that it's dying. I've met more black people that are racist than white people. Heck, I've only met ONE racist white man (my grandfather, ironically). There are always going to be a few people that hates another group of people for no reason whatsoever. "You've never been part of anything but the majority." Me, accepted into a majority? Ha! I'm probably the least popular person you'll ever meet. Even my best friend doesn't seem to want to spend time with me (of course, that may have something to do with the fact that I told her I loved her, but...). Reguarding health care: The problem with all these systems is that they all make the people that use them more and more dependant on the government. If you really want to help someone, help them to get back on their feet so they can help themselves. You know, "Teach a man to fish..." I'd suggest a government program that, instead of paying people who don't work, helps those people find jobs. Say one agent for ten people. Get their qualifications, then locate a job that they can do. Maybe even provide clean clothes and baths if needed to obtain the job. Then they'll have an income and can take care of themselves. If they have emergency medical expences, how about a low or no intrest loan? The government would eventually get the money back, and the person still gets the treatment they need. As for businesses, I'd have to agree with the environmental laws and monopoly laws, but those are the limits. Telling a business that it has to tell you who it hires and when, and things like that, are crossing the line. I do still watch Star Trek, but only because it presents a positive view of the future. Well, that, Nicole deBoer, and Jeri Ryan. *wipes drool off keyboard* H.M.S.: You seem to keep defending me. Thanks again. "the evil thing called 'Real Life' happened" You have a life!? I guess I now have to agree with the second part of your sig! Bryce: You're welcome, and may I ask who? [/QB][/QUOTE]
