But having persons wishing not to assimilate and having them, in response, begin to dictate business terms to private companies -- that's simply not acceptable.<BR/><BR/>Kate: thank you for visiting and commenting! You are correct, those persons should in fact be grateful.<BR/><BR/>Chance: there is much of what you say which is true: many times persons in official or semi-official positions (such as, perhaps, these cab companies and the City of Minn-St. Paul) wish to be seen as sensitive and understanding in an all-encompassing way. And I must admit that I also agree with your view that it is the white official or politician that is the greatest offender in lacking an application of common sense.<BR/><BR/>Cab companies are alleged in business to provide a service. If the individuals of cab companies decided they cannot comply with a societal standard then it is the individual's responsibility to seek another job, rather than the company's responsibility to massage the working conditions so that the employee is not inconvenienced, and the customer IS inconvenienced. <BR/><BR/>I attempt to do what I call the "logical extension;" that is, what next? No guide dogs in cabs? No pork? No transportation of women wearing skirts? No transportation of women lacking face masks? How far must we accommodate?<BR/><BR/>BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-1160909692591734352006-10-15T03:54:00.000-07:002006-10-15T03:54:00.000-07:00To B Zeppelin,Chance: Unfortunately, America is no...To B Zeppelin,<BR/><BR/>Chance: Unfortunately, America is no longer the country it use to be when it would tell people who were foreign and living in America how to behave. notice every since the civil rights movement of the 1960s with the great Martin Luther King jr when he won civil rights for blacks and all people of color America has never been able to keep control of certain types of behaviors. Like what these Muslim drivers are doing in Minneapolis. When people are free in a country and have civil rights and freedoms they they tend to abuse it if the enforcers of the law meaning the government does not step in. Many conservative Americans criticize the government for stepping into the lives of America's too much. <BR/><BR/>But they fail to understand that it is the government that keeps the country from being dominated by certain countries and foreigners. But whee government has become weak and fearful of being call insensitive or racist etc the government backs away and lefts things happen because they want to look sensitive and compassionate and understanding. The people have to understand that if it was not for the past discrimination against certain racial groups in America, the government would not be so afraid to put a stop to certain behaviors Americans and immigrants. But the government like many whites fear being called a racist and insensitive and too some degree whites have to accept this is a part of their collective karma. That is the bad behavior that certain immigrants display is the result of certain racial bad behavior of my fellow whites in previous generations. White politicians don't want to be viewed as racist bigots, so they allow immigrants to engaged in certain negative unkind behaviors while living here in America. Certain White politicians both Conservative and Liberal often have a sense of guilt that keeps them from enforcing the federal anti-discrimination laws. These Muslim cab drivers are too some degree violating the anti-discrimination laws but guilt and fear of being called a racist keeps politicians from confronting these Muslims with force. Don't be guilty of something from the past and you can then confront future violators. <BR/><BR/>I don't know may be what I wrote above is incorrect and wrong, I will accept any criticize from any human regardless of ethnicity or gender. Because I write things sometimes that are incorrect. <BR/><BR/>By ChanceKiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238096321864927594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-1160881746855164802006-10-14T20:09:00.000-07:002006-10-14T20:09:00.000-07:00Seems to me these dips should be happy they're wor...Seems to me these dips should be happy they're working in the greatest country in the world, and adapt, instead of trying to change it to suit themselves. If they want Islam rules to be applied, then they damn well need to leave and go to an Islamic country.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884559109370515870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-1160876339169580832006-10-14T18:38:00.000-07:002006-10-14T18:38:00.000-07:0010 14 06Well you have a point BZ.

The biggest issue for me is whether or not the companies choose to accept such coercion by their empoloyees or if they will have the balls to fire those who don't comply. I think it is so wrong to try to do business in a pluralistic country but not respect the plurality. That is pure lameness!<BR/><BR/>We need to get our gumption back as Americans otherwise we will be looked at as soft suckers that hold no ground. Wah:(Mahndisa S.
