I like this line

Quote:
However, when News19 called the owner of the hotel, Carroll Atkisson, he says there had been some confusion. He says any couple can come to the place and they will rent to them, period. Atkisson says the policy was not mean to target homosexuals. He says they were just trying to stop two single people from being in the same bed.
Trying to stop two single people from being in the same bed? What the Heck? What business of theirs is it if to single people want to share a bed?

Actually, it's not even an "analogy" this time.
I am just demonstrating the boundaries of Jaaaman's claim. That he more than likely would not want a black man turned away from a hotel because he was black. He would not want a Christian turned away from a hotel because he was Christian.
I suspect his stated "standard" only applies to groups he finds objectionable.

I keep proving this claim false over and over again...
And you have done absolutely nothing to prove your claim...

Because a KKK member considers a black man to be sub-human, does that make it true?
Again, the inaccurate racial analogy.

A better example would be renting a hotel room to a bunch of nudists or an unmarried teenage couple.

most people are naked in their hotel rooms

it would be illegal to rent a room to teenagers - it would be contributing to the delinquency of minors.

if they are 18+, it's not the business of the hotel whether or not they're married

if some guy is old enough for Bush to have slaughtered in Iraq, he's old enough to bang his girlfriend

Not true.

In the Land of the Free they aren't allowed to drink a beer legally either!

Go ahead - throw a fit!

Discrimination is wrong, regardless of what or whom is being discriminated against.

You have a 'moral' problem with homosexuality. You have to realize, that is YOUR problem. Morality varies from person to person. As long as it hurts no one else, then you need to keep your morality to yourself and realize not everyone shares your views.

Again, all you do is complain that it's inaccurate while being incapable of explaining why...

Public nudity is against the law, ergo, the law supports any hotel action against nude people outside their hotel room.
Within their hotel room? Hate to break it to you, but people get nude in their hotel room...

As for "unmarried teenage couple", are you saying it would be acceptable to not rent to 18/19 year olds who are not married, but 30-year old heterosexual couples who are not married would be okay?

Damn you try hard to drag threads off their original subject matter.

what are you ranting about?
the hotel cannot sell the 18 year olds beer.
the 18 year olds ARE at the age of consent.
it is not the job of a hotel to be the sex police.
