Should Police Officers Be Able To Join Racist Organisations?

Which is what Queeq and I were engaged in until he decided to threaten me with a permanant ban for disagreeing with him via PM. Again, if you'd like the password to my account, just PM me. Just because he's a section mod doesn't mean he's free of culpability in this situation. I can't change the PM except via reponses, which would show up in the unalterble PM that came before it in my inbox. This was between he and I before he decided to privately threaten me with retribution he doesn't have the authority to dispense and for reasons that would merrit no such an action. He can stop responding to me just as easily as I can to him.

Then be the better man and DROP IT! Now, I'm asking you to drop it OR I will give out the ban.

The discussion is on Police Officers becoming Nazis.

About which I have shared my position.

No, that's it, I am out of patience with DK, who has again aired his dirty laundry to attack mods in public- again lying in the process (which I know full well abouyt, because the ban warning came through queeq but via me after I saw the PM in question) after many MANY direct orders to take it to PM including two previous bans for that issue. End of the line- he's out of here.

Any more off-topic posts in here will result in warnings.

So police officers are prohibited from joining racist organisations- the general argument seems to be that it is incompatible with their duty to provide equal protection to all peoples... However, should the ban be extended to other public-servants? Say Teachers?

Any government service should require this ban. Since they are public services. Private services should probably adopt it too, however it is there choice.

Well, wouldn't IBM banning its members from joining the KKK or BNP be an infringement of human rights?

IBM?

Oh right, I just got what you meant. No it would not be. IBM is a private company. It therefore has the right to choose who it wants to work for them, to represent it's company's image.

You should really let Queeq do his own dirty work, you essentially perma-banned DK because he has the audacity to disagree with Mods' POV, the horrors of that. This is a discussion forum, right?

What a joke.

Stay on topic please, there's no need to get involved in this issue it doesn't concern you- is it worth getting banned over? Just leave it.

What if it chose not to employ black people?

I believe Kram3r, like I, would deem that to be the decision of the private company. I don't think an employer should be force in any way to work with someone they don't want to work with, no matter what their reason.

I actually would agree but then we get to the issue of blatent public racism- is that a step backwards or is it a step forwards in terms of rights?

That's a warning for you Robtard! Persist with these rants and whining and you will be removed for three days. Drop it as well!

Sorry about that...eveyrone please continue.

In terms of "rights"? It's a step forward. Whether that is a good step to take in order for other considerations, such as safety or equality, is of course not certain.

See, if an employer can chose who he employs, will that not lead to an employer choosing who he can serve?

Should we really go back to the days when hotels have "NO BLACKS" in the window?

Apparently so.

Listen, I know you just love to Mod-Troll, be a complete hypocrite and then play the little victim up on that cross you made for yourself, but I OBVIOUSLY dropped it, as I didn't reply to GMG's reply to the post initially; anyone can see that.

Edit: Please make it six days, it's my lucky number.

Oh what the hell just close the thread.

No need, I was done initially, as I didn't reply to your post. I just couldn't resist WD's trolling and had to retort.

The last on-topic post ended with something about "niggers", be my guest.
