But still these Muslims refuse to wash for the sake of preventing disease in their patients? How do you defend that?
Why do you assume he is defending that? How about you ask him his opinion instead of rolling out yet another strawman?
Fair enough. Ok, I’m asking him…and you. [/quote]
Well, I don’t. I strongly condemn it.
That said, I know for a fact that Britain needs doctors and nurses though, and am pretty sure there must be a workaround somewhere to this situation. The most obvious being a simple curtain in the lavatory area.
At the end of the day, it’ll come down to whether the British society needs hospital staff that badly that they are willing to compromise, or that they’ll take a stand on principles. British pragmatism can be a bitch.
I’ll tell you what though, had this happened in Morocco, those chicks would have gotten kicked out swiftly. Don’t want to obey the rules? Go find another vocation! It certainly wouldn’t warrant much debate. Sensationalist rag would pick up the story, but that’s about the size of it.
Where does it say that there are no independent cabs in the United States?
Anyway, I wasn’t aware of the level of regulations surrounding this business in the land of the free. I looked it up, and you are right in that the cab driver doesn’t have much say in who he/she can pick up. It seems a pretty clear-cut case if taken to court.
I’ll ask you this though: what about a Catholic pharmacist who refuses to sell birth control? Does it happen? Where do you stand on the issue? And what does the law says?
[quote]Do what you want in “Muslim” countries, but in the secular West? Adjust or leave. Nobody forced these people to immigrate or to take these positions.
Don’t be an imbecile! You are wrongly assuming that every last person involved in such activities is an immigrant.
No I’m not, genius. Thus the second half of my sentence. You can read, right? [/quote]
Yes, I can.
What allowed you to say that those women were immigrants? Do you know their names? Did you go through their files? Talk to them?
Let’s stick to facts please.
[quote]I agree with the part where you say that nobody forces anyone to become cab drivers or surgeons, but I don’t see what all the rompus is about. Aren’t there safeguards to reprimand doctors who don’t scrub up? The behavior described in the article would never be tolerated by universities and hospitals in my country. You seem to have trouble telling non-issues blown out of proportion by the media to make a buck from real problems.
Yes, there are safeguards. And the Muslims are resisting them.[/quote]
If they are not resistance-proof, the safeguards lose the safe component and become mere guards.
I REALLY don’t get it. If you must make all this ruckus every time somebody is “trying to tell” you stuff, then you have to be one of those people seeking all sorts of limitations on free speech.
[quote]And if you think American cab drivers don’t have the right to refuse serving people, then I suggest you go vote for Hillary.
Wow. You really know nothing about the US, clearly. These prospective passengers are doing nothing illegal or immoral or dangerous. I’d love to see your reaction if fundamentalist Christians in the US began refusing service (housing, loans, restaurant service) to Muslims just for being Muslim*.
*Edit: Since they clearly engage in “non-Christian” practices.[/quote]
Yeah, I didn’t know much about the way US cabs are regulated. It is a lot more draconian than I would have expected. But hey, that’s what you get after decades of voting for Hillaries.
And like I wrote in the “Fatties” thread, I recognize the right of a privately owned business to refuse service to anyone. Be they fundamentalist Christians, Muslims, Jews, Zoroastrians. Ideally, you need a free-market society for that to work without problems.
