I've spent too long in Europe.

I have to agree with Mr. Conrad.

If it hadn't had been for the shirt, he would NOT have been asked to leave, which would mean that he was NOT trespassing.

Now, if he had been asked to leave for some OTHER reason, that would be a different issue.

As for any shop being allowed to exclude anyone the old "no coloreds" signs immediately spring to mind.

The wimpy fucking old "vote with your wallet" line again? Sheesh, you Merkins... Seem to think *everything* is about money, dontya? Words and phrases like "principle" and "stand up for your rights" are just incomprehensible *noise* to you, aren't they?

The US is driven by commerce. It is the only "culture" that we have.

Malls are private property - (boxley) - (49) - March 6, 2003, 08:44:00 AM EST

Not quite any reason - (ben_tilly) - (48) - March 6, 2003, 08:46:33 AM EST

That may all be true you two... - (jake123) - (47) - March 6, 2003, 08:55:30 AM EST

Yup, 'xackly. -NT - (CRConrad) - March 6, 2003, 09:30:25 AM EST

That might have gotten the cops fired - (boxley) - (45) - March 6, 2003, 09:44:03 AM EST

Then you have a systemic problem. -NT - (jake123) - (44) - March 6, 2003, 11:08:16 AM EST

yep, troublesome when the state works for the individuals - (boxley) - (43) - March 6, 2003, 12:06:47 PM EST

Well, I can say - (jake123) - (36) - March 6, 2003, 12:14:49 PM EST

Not exactly - (drewk) - (35) - March 6, 2003, 12:37:17 PM EST

They should NOT, & (afaik) DO not, have that "right". - (CRConrad) - (34) - March 6, 2003, 03:33:44 PM EST

no shirt, no shoes, no service -NT - (SpiceWare) - (5) - March 6, 2003, 03:41:46 PM EST

Yeah, sure... But the point was, he HAD a shirt! - (CRConrad) - (4) - March 6, 2003, 03:58:11 PM EST

At the entrance to every Mall in America is a sign - (boxley) - March 6, 2003, 04:07:58 PM EST

not a functional requirement - (SpiceWare) - March 6, 2003, 04:55:43 PM EST

What's more... - (cwbrenn) - (1) - March 6, 2003, 05:08:31 PM EST

There's more to the story. - (static) - (1) - March 7, 2003, 06:15:07 AM EST

In that case... - (ben_tilly) - March 7, 2003, 07:09:57 AM EST

You do realize where he was, right? - (drewk) - (16) - March 7, 2003, 01:48:51 PM EST

or let smoke there? hopefully :0 -NT - (boxley) - March 7, 2003, 01:53:05 PM EST

Umm... Yes, I realise *exactly* where he was. Do YOU? - (CRConrad) - (14) - March 7, 2003, 06:32:42 PM EST

Then we just disagree - (drewk) - March 7, 2003, 08:46:17 PM EST

Wrong on a point - (boxley) - (12) - March 7, 2003, 09:14:07 PM EST

A) Too bloody obvious; B) Oh, that's "a rule", is it ?!? - (CRConrad) - (11) - March 8, 2003, 02:50:21 PM EST

{cackle} L'etat c'est Moi! Jacques Tati wherefore art thou? -NT - (Ashton) - March 9, 2003, 04:40:50 PM EST

You clearly don't understand the U.S. - (drewk) - (7) - March 10, 2003, 08:31:56 AM EST

Just because the USA is stupid, you don't have to be, too. - (CRConrad) - (6) - March 10, 2003, 10:30:35 AM EST

Yeah, I can understand your anger, but... - (tseliot) - March 10, 2003, 11:16:23 AM EST

I think you're still missing part of what I said - (drewk) - (4) - March 10, 2003, 12:53:21 PM EST

No, it's becoming obvious YOU don't know what you're saying. - (CRConrad) - (3) - March 10, 2003, 05:07:46 PM EST

{sigh} And the jingoists want to suppress immigration - (Ashton) - March 11, 2003, 01:53:08 AM EST

Boy, did I say that badly - (drewk) - March 11, 2003, 08:34:34 AM EST

Very nicely put. - (mmoffitt) - March 11, 2003, 10:07:25 AM EST

It was more than just the shirt - (morganek) - (6) - March 7, 2003, 11:38:56 PM EST

" clearly states" - (Silverlock) - (5) - March 7, 2003, 11:54:50 PM EST

Re: " clearly states" - (morganek) - (4) - March 8, 2003, 12:25:44 AM EST

Doh! - (morganek) - (2) - March 8, 2003, 12:48:56 AM EST

I'll have to take your word for it. - (Silverlock) - March 8, 2003, 01:15:17 AM EST

"For individuals"? How many people have *you*... - (CRConrad) - (5) - March 6, 2003, 02:48:01 PM EST

in practice yes, the constitution has been voided - (boxley) - March 6, 2003, 02:53:23 PM EST

But it was a great idea. - (Brandioch) - March 6, 2003, 03:38:06 PM EST

constitution or ex-parrot? - (rcareaga) - (2) - March 6, 2003, 04:05:46 PM EST

There are a lot of quotes like that - (ben_tilly) - March 6, 2003, 07:05:59 PM EST
