Although speaking as a person whose father and paternal grandparents fled Nazi Germany, I have to observe that any Jewish person in that time and place who was reading the Torah in front of Hitler or the SS would have to be nuckin' futz.

poor analogy; Nazi Germany was NOT America. "basic freedoms," as we know them today did not exist back then&there.

Y'know, Jean Marc, I will say one thing for Pat: He goes in voicing opinions that he knows others will strenuously agree with and rag on him about. But at least he signs his name to his posts. When I think of the number of people out there spouting even more extreme opinions, sniping from hiding behind fake names or creating other identities for themselves...at least Pat's man enough to stand up for what he belives. God knows he may not be backing it up with facts that I concur with, but at least he's backing it up with his name.
PAD By all means, let's focus on the person rather than the strength or weakness of his argument? :rolleyes:

PAD True, Pete. If I offended you, I'm sorry.

Pat O' Neill has the belief that carefulness means absolute safety. It doesn't. If it did, Jesus Castillo wouldn't be in this mess. In a way, Pat thinks Castillo's wrong for having the foresight to protect himself from prosecution. Castillo only sold a adults-only product to a adult, and he still got arrested.

I wasn't making a parallel, Darryl. I was making a one-sentence satire.

Hi,
Wow, once again someone here has opened my eyes.
Pat, I've decided not to buy any comics any more. I live in a small town, reading them in public might cause trouble.
I've also decided to get rid of all my CD's because they might offend the church up the block.
And I've decided to stop going onto this website because someone local might read this and send me to jail for saying the word FUCK in this post.
BTW, to any kids in the Dallas area. Send me some money, I'll get you all the porn comics you need!!!!
God, I Love Business,
Bill(PC)Lange

Because they are the primary source of distribution in this business, and if it were determined that they were excluding people for doing business with them on the grounds of their gender that would be considered illegal discrimination, just like it was with McSorley's Pub here in NY in the 70's.
