NY's Proposed Ban on Large Sugary Drinks

If you are expecting me to argue with that you got the wrong. I do not think the far right had to teach the far left anything. They both suck
Heaven forbid we focus on the topic. Only one with their panties in a knot here is you. Cry more about us ignoring what you want to talk about. Boo, god damn, hoo.
For the record I think the state control of alcohol, watered down beers, no happy hour...are all stupid.
My understanding of the pot thing in NY is that having a small quantity of pot not in public view was "decriminalized" a while ago. Not legalized, just not a criminal offense, sort of like speeding. However, having any amount of pot in public view still carried criminal penalties.
So what was happening was that when the police stop a car and search it and the people inside (makes me sick so many people allow themselves to get searched and/or police pressure so many people into allowing a search) they pull the contents out and place them in public view. So if there was pot there now it goes from a non-criminal offense to a criminal one. While pot use is very diverse criminal prosecution of pot due to it being in public view (placed in public view by police officers) was very heavily weighted towards minorities. They changed the law so that the offense was the same if your small amount of pot was in public view or not.

Yes. It would likely get her protested and blacklisted and she'd go out of business but it is her right to refuse service.
Hence the reason I placed quotation marks around the word legal. It's not legal in the traditional sense but it is no longer a felony offense that will get you arrested and tossed in jail. Try to keep up.
The law on that probably varies by state. In states where sexual orientation is a protected class, you can't refuse service to a homosexual anymore than you can to a black person.
However, it's good to seeing you go back to supporting bigotry. Back when you were a taqunch advocate for limiting what the prosecution said about defendants at press conferences, I wondered what had happened to you.
Or maybe not...
I'm not supporting bigotry but rather freedom. I feel a black business owner can refuse service to whites. Like I said, there are ramifications but he should be able to do it.
How is that not bigotry?
It is but he should have the freedom to be a bigot if he so chooses.
Keep slamming your head against that wall Scat.
However, should he have that ability and all the rights and privledges that come from saying you serve the public?
