<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blaubart, post: 1481589, member: 37498&quot;]So, now we&#039;ve went from &quot;rights&quot; to &quot;feelings&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t say I should be &quot;allowed&quot; to do anything.&nbsp; I&#039;m saying that preventing a person from getting robbed would be worth the possible consequences.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would most likely be uncomfortable with someone coming into my business and second guessing my practices, but yes, it is within their &quot;rights&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they were on my property, and they seriously offended me, then I&#039;d ask them to leave.&nbsp; That&#039;s how the First Amendment works.&nbsp; They have the &quot;right&quot; to open their mouth, and I have the right to hold what they say against them, and vice versa.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Of course.&nbsp; Why else would I have brought it up?</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I wasn&#039;t forgetting anything.&nbsp; It seems you are not OK with such things happening, but you would not do anything about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also take issue with your telling me what I do or do not have the right to do.&nbsp; It&#039;s one thing to say it isn&#039;t acceptable, or it&#039;s grounds for being thrown out, but it&#039;s quite another thing to say I do not have the right to do something.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh no! I might get kicked out of an event I paid $5 to attend.&nbsp; Or, I might get asked to leave a store I didn&#039;t pay anything to enter.&nbsp; I an&#039;t think of which one I&#039;d regret more...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Seriously?&nbsp; Smoke and Mirrors?&nbsp; Hot shot?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A few times, mostly when I was in the Army.&nbsp; One time I got a refund for a soldier in my squad who bought a used Mustang from a dealer who signed him up for a loan with 19% interest.&nbsp; (Which was higher than the max rate allowed by WA state law)&nbsp; Another time, I got a carnival booth shut down at Ft. Campbell when I figured out he was taking soldiers for hundreds of dollars each with no chance of them winning.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re not OK with it, then do something about it.&nbsp; Don&#039;t just sit back and allow it to happen, fearful that you might suffer some sort of personal consequence.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I have said, it&#039;s a moral and ethical dilemma.&nbsp; If there wasn&#039;t a conflict in choosing which path to take, then it wouldn&#039;t be much of a dilemma.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
